  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a different one for me as I was playing with a different shaped card. You need two DL cards which you use with the fold at the top. I first of all scored one of them down the middle of the front of the card using my Hunkydory's Adorable Scoreboard and folded it back on itself. I took two pieces of the wood effect paper (I know various companies sell this in different pads but you could also score it at equal distances using a scoreboard and then used Distress Oxide inks in different shades of brown to create the same effect). I used some Fired Brick Distress Oxide and edged the paper and then glued it to the back of the card with some PVA glue. I used the Swirling Elephants stamps from a collection from Gemini's range from Crafters Companion and stamped them at either end of the card.  I then coloured them in with a grey Spectrum Noir Tri-blend marker. I also stamped the Celebrati...

Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this card as I was practising using my alcohol markers along with some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.... read on if you want to know how I made it... I used both the die and mat layer from the Elephant set from Tattered Lace and cut the former out in white and the mat layer in Lynda Chapman's Black card. I then coloured the elephant in using Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers (grey shades) until I was happy with the result. I attached the topper on to the layer using PVA glue. I used various pastel Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to colour in a rainbow background on some Yupo paper and fixed it with some cheap hairspray. I had a previously cut out frame in black card which fitted the rainbow background and stuck that to it using PVA glue again. I then attached that to a slightly larger piece of black card and trimmed it so there was a narrow border around it. I took a Corner Punch from the Prism range from Hunkydory and rounded the edges of a 7" ...

Hi Craft addicts! Well here is another card that I have made that could be great for Valentine's Day which isn't too far away! I used the largest slimline die from Lisa Horton and used it to cut out some red textured card from Crafter's Companion. I also cut out the film strip using Toni Darroch's Stamp by Me die in black card (Lynda Chapman's Black card) and then added some Wild Spider Self adhesive sheet to the reverse. I decided to use the two twirling elephants from Crafter's Companion Gemini set and stamped them on to some white stamping card (having made sure that they fitted into the gaps in the film strip first).  I used Gina K Obsidian Black ink to stamp them out and then coloured them in using a Grey Spectrum Noir Triblender. Once I was happy with the result I added the Big Hugs sentiment from the same set to the middle space and stuck the film strip over them all. I trimmed the edges of the white card so you couldn't see any of it. I glued the red...

Dreamer... elephant constellation 7x5in card -  Day 301 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really love these latest Written in the Stars stamps from Hunkydory and I have used the elephant one to make this latest card for my challenge. How I made this card:- I took a piece of white stamping card and used 2 shades of Altenew Colour Sprays (metallic) and various Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist sprays to create a background. Once I was happy with it and it was dry, I added some True Graphite Altenew ink over it to make it a bit more subtle. I then used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the elephant constellation and the sentiment You May Say.... One from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps Written in the Stars set. Using my Cutterpillar Crop, I then trimmed it to 13x8.5mm and edged it with a black alcohol marker. I then stuck it on to a pre-cut Silver Mirri panel (again from Hunkydory) using a wet glue as it gives some wiggle time. I also used a white gel pen t...

Gift bag with abstract elephant, girl and paper flowers -  Day 197 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's project for day 197 of my 365 day challenge is slightly different as I found a Kraft bag and thought I would use it to make this gift bag... How I made this project:- I first of all took some white stamping card and added some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Sprays - as you can see I used Orange, Blue, Yellow and Gold (randomly sprayed) and then added some of their Color Wash Inks. It was only after that I had dried it off and was turning it around that I could see the elephant in it (I hope you can).  I then added it to some black card (I used Lynda Chapman's from Creative Crafting World) and trimmed it leaving a narrow border.  I used some Versamagic ink to add some elephants and words on to a 200x260mm (approx) Kraft coloured Gift bag and left it to dry. Once it was, I stuck the elephant panel on to it using fingerlift tape.  I also...

Elephant in silhouette - have a wild time 7in white card -  Day 129 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! This is a card made from a beautiful Craftwork Cards topper along with stamps from the For the Love of Stamps range by Hunkydory and some coordinating card from Lynda Chapman's World of Paper. How I made this card:- I first of all took the zebra, lion, giraffe stamps from the Safari Adventure set from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps and stamped them all around the edges of a 7in square card. I used various inks from the Dinky Inkies Sparkle range and used a water brush to colour them in. I then cut two pieces of coordinating brown and chocolate cardstock from Lynda Chapman's World of paper each slightly smaller than the other . I used the Have a Wild Time stamp and stamped it around the edge of the darker brown card using Versamagic ink so it gave a watermark effect. I then edged it using a dark brown alcohol marker and attached the lighter card...

Happy birthday elephant gatefold C6 card -  Day 116 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I created this card using a Tattered Lace die and a sentiment topper from Craftwork Cards along with some spotty background paper. How I made this card:- I first of all covered both sides of this C6 white gatefold card with the pale green/white polka dot paper, trimming it to fit. I then coloured in the Happy Birthday sentiment topper which is prefoiled from Craftwork Cards using Parrot and Bamboo Altenew inks and edged the topper in a dark green alcohol marker. I cut out the cute elephant in a dark brown card using a Tattered Lace die and placed it on a circle mat which again is a Tattered Lace die - but any would do. I also edged that using a brown alcohol marker and stuck the elephant on to it. I used Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue to attach the sentiment to the right hand side and foam pads to attach the elephant on the other side And there you are  a card tha...

Happy Birthday trio of cute elephants gatefold card -  Day 71 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really love these cute elephant stamps from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps and I am really getting into using paper to add some dimension to the picture I am trying to create... How I made this card:- I first of all stamped out the three different elephants from the Tons of Fun collection from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps range using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I coloured them all in using grey alcohol markers trying to give each a different shade with the large of them being slightly darker. I cut round them (the smaller ones right to the edge) and the large one leaving a small border round it. I then tore strips of green paper (this one is double sided from the Rainbow Radiance Stylish Silhouettes paper pad), giving them all an irregular edge and stuck the brown one on to the card approximately half way up, then the lighter one and finally the da...
