   Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is one that I have made from scratch using dies and stamps. I cut out two pieces of white cardstock (approx. 300gsm) using the largest of the Spellbinders Petit Picot edge dies and scored one of them about 3/4" at the top and added some Red Liner tape, removed the backing and stuck them together, making sure that they matched up. I had coloured a sunrise/sunset background using Ink Lily glimmer pens, let it dry and then cut it out using one of the smaller dies and attached it to the front of the card using a dotty pen from Crafter's Companion. I then cut another panel using a smaller die, this time just in white, and whilst it was in the die, coloured it in using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (such as Walnut Stain) so that there was a white edge to the panel. I took it out of the die and then used Creative Expressions Delicate Daffodils silhouette stamp from their Designer Boutique ...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a bright and cheerful one using stamps and dies on a DL top fold card. I first of all cut out a large panel of bright green card that fitted the front of a DL card which is a landscape one that I used to make a tent/top fold card. I then added a smaller panel of the gingham/check paper using fingerlift tape as I didn't want the paper to buckle. I used two smaller pieces of the same card and paper to create a smaller panel and glued it to the side or top of the card. I cut out the bunch of daffodils in white card (it is a Tattered Lace die) and coloured it in using the Orange and Yellow Crystal Tints by Creative Expressions. I then mat and layered it on to matching Green card which is part of the Tattered Lace die and attached it to the front of the card using foam pads. I used the Sending Love stamp and stamped it on to some white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink, mat and layering it on to some green and then black card again adding it to t...

Congratulations - daffodils tag z fold card Hi Craft addicts! I am so glad to be back on here - it has been a few weeks since I wrote about my cardmaking as I haven't been able to do much - life and flu definitely got in the way!! Anyway, I hope you like this card and enjoy reading how I made it.... How I made this card:- I had some very old candy striped cards from Craftwork Cards and decided to cut them up to make panels for various projects. This one is the pastel one and I cut the front panel into two (measuring approximately 2" x 4" and edged them both with a black alcohol marker. I then took a 5" white card and folded the front in half back on itself so it created a Z fold effect. Using Pinflair Bookbinding glue, I attached both panels to the front and inside of the card. I then cut out the tag (from Toni Darroch's Stamp by Me) in her Green glitter card. I stamped out the largest of the daffodil stamps (from Sheena Douglass...

Sending Lots of Love Daffodil in silhouette 7x5in card -  Day 239 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I am quite obsessed with making cards etc with the main item in black card as a silhouette and so have made this one for day 239 of my 365 day challenge... How I made this card:- I cut out the Tattered Lade Daffodil die in Lynda Chapman's black card stock and using Midas Touch sticky dots, attached it to some gold Mirri card (Hunkydory or Kanban). I then cut round it leaving a narrow border of the gold Mirri card. Using another Tattered Lace die set (this time the oval label set), I cut the smaller one in white and a large one in black. Before attaching the white panel on to the black, I attached two rows of thin ultra strong red liner tape to the centre of the latter one and added some Gold Glitter Embossing Powder and heat set them. Once I had done that, I glued the white panel (having edged it with some green ink) on to it using Gina K glue (am road te...
