Cute mouse on bauble Sending Love at Christmas card -  Day 351 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts Today's card (day 351 of my challenge) is one I have made using a form of paper piecing, die cuts and alcohol markers. How I made this card:- I cut out the cute Mouse  on a bauble 3 times -  once in White card, another in Gold Mirri and the last one in Green Mirri. I then snipped the Green die-cut so that I could glue the bauble parts (the top, middle and bottom) on to the gold one leaving parts of it showing. I then coloured in the mouse itself using Grey, Pink, Red, Green and blue alcohol markers (Prism pens this time) and cut it so that only the mouse was remaining - I then glued that to the gold topper using PVA glue. I stuck the whole topper on to the front of a 6" black pearlescent card (from Create & Craft's Core Collection) again using PVA glue. I had this sentiment  left over from Craftwork Cards  Year of Sentiments pad and adde...

How I made these cards:- Card One (Pudding) - I cut out the Christmas Pudding die (Tonic Studios) from Kraft card and backed it on to some white so that I could colour in the Holly leaves using green alcohol markers.  I left the icing as it was.

Finally, I used some Strawberry Coulis Nuvo drops (again from Tonic Studios) to add the berries.

Wishing You a Furry Christmas A6 card -  Day 345 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Wow only 2 weeks to Christmas and here is another card to celebrate it using Stamps from Personal Impressions and alcohol markers. How I made this card :- I first of all coloured a pre-cut white label tag (approx 5" x 3") using blue and black Gansai Tambi watercolour paints and left it to dry and edged it in a black alcohol marker. I then stamped out the cut dog in its' kennel (from Personal Impressions Christmas Santa Paws) on to some white stamping card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Cute Critters Season's Greetings Christmas Card -  Day 344 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well it is only 2 weeks until Christmas and here is another card which I have made using embossing folders, Distress inks, Dies and stamps. How I made this card:- I first of all used a landscape Embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card. I then used blue, green, grey and black Dye based inks to create an atmospheric scene. Once I was happy with it, I then used a White Gel pen to add some stars  and then edged the panel with a Black alcohol marker. I stuck a piece of blue card on the front of a 7" x 5" white card (turning it on its' side to be a tent fold card) and glued the panel on to that. I then stamped the Moon and Santa Sleigh on to it using Memento Tuxedo Black ink towards the top. I stamped the cute critters image on to some white stamping card again in the Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it in using Prism alcohol markers (from their ...

Hello Sunflowers, and cute critters shaped card -  Day 62 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a cheerful card made using strips of paper, some stamps, alcohol markers and distress/dye based inks. How I made this card:- I found this shaped card and thought I better use it up and so tore 3 strips of card - one green and one brown (they are double sided with a lighter shade on the reverse). I first of all stuck the brown one towards the bottom of the card - leaving it unglued at the top so I could slip the flowers in.. I then added the lighter of the green and then the darker one again leaving some space at the top. To make the flowers, I first of all stamped 3 circles (using the Half-tone circles stamps from Altenew) on to some card - using red, yellow and orange for two of them and blue shades for the other one. I used the sunflower stamp from the Sunshines and Smiles set from For the Love of Stamps range from Hunkydory and stamped over the c...
