  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's card for my 365 day challenge is this fun A6+ card that I have made using mainly Paper Boutique Gnome collection. I used an A6 card (so many Companies produce them) and rounded the corners with a Hunkydory Prism punch. The circles are created using a stencil (I think it might have been a Thirsty Brush one but am not sure) and coloured through it using Blue and Yellow inks left on my blending brushes. I then took one of the Gnome toppers from Paper Boutique (one of Creative Crafting World's range and fussy cut around it. I edged it with a black alcohol marker and then stuck it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card and fussy cut around that leaving a narrow border. I decided to use some pale blue/lilac paper stock to add another layer so I cut a piece out leaving a border (approximately .5") and stuck the topper to it and then rounded the corners with the same punch I used for the card. I used a tape pen to attach that to some more bla...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this simple but effective card you can send to a friend to say hello.... I rounded the corners of an A6 cream coloured card (from Tonic Studios) and decided to use it as a tent fold landscape one. I had some of the background cardstock that I had created using Aladine Izink ink cubes on some white card and used the cubes directly on to the card in a random way. I cut it to fit the front of the A6 card and rounded the corners. I thought it needed another layer so trimmed it a bit more, rounded the corners again and stuck it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card and attached it to the front of the card with PVA glue. I attached some of Lynda's black card to some self adhesive sheet and cut out the Friend die (I think it is from Stamps by Me), removed the backing paper and placed it in the middle of the card. I also added some of Tonic Studios Black Nuvo drops in opposite corners to finis...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one that could be sent to a friend you haven't seen for some time! I stamped the flower spray (from the Sending Smiles die and stamp collection from Stamps by Me) on to some white stamping card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I then  rounded the corners using my Prism punch from Hunkydory. I also stamped the Lovely Friend sentiment at the same time on to some white card. To colour the flowers in, I used Spectrum Noir Triblender markers (red, pink, purple and green). I used a black 7x5in card and made it a top fold card and rounded the corners using the Hunkydory Punch and then stuck the image to the middle of the card using a tape pen as I didn't want the glue to show through. I then coloured the Lovely Friend sentiment with a matching alcohol marker and attached it to the bottom of the card with some foam pads to give it some height. So if you think this sounds interesting then why not:- Follow us on Twitter...

   Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a bright and cheerful card that should bring some fun to anyone you send it to... I first of all rounded the corner of an A2 Kraft card (from Tonic Studios) with a Hunkydory Prism punch. I then took one of Hunkydory's Tags (from their pad) and masked off two areas - one about 1.5" from the top and another at the bottom with some of their Washi tape. I painted the areas with Lava Orange Neon polish from Creative Expressions and left it to dry and then repeated the process and again left it to dry. I removed the masking tape and then added some wide red liner tape to just below the painted areas, removed the backing layer and placed some black foil over it and burnished it until there was no sticky parts on it. I then repeated the process again at the top. I used the abstract flower stamp from the Dylusions set, and stamped it on to some white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I colou...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this simple but effective 7x5" top fold card using once again using the Mouse and poppies die from Creative Expressions... I first of all used some of Lynda Chapman's Black cardstock to cut out the Mouse and poppy die from Creative Expressions Paper Panda range. I had coloured some super smooth card using Hybrid inks to create this pastel background. I used a dotty tape pen (from Crafter's Companion) to attach the die cut to the panel as I didn't want any glue showing. I then fussy cut around it and added it to a panel of Lynda Chapman's Black card again using a tape pen and then trimmed it so that there was a narrow border all around it and then rounded the corners with a Hunkydory Prism punch. I then glued it (with PVA glue) to the left hand side of a white landscape card (from Paper Boutique range from Creative Crafting World) and the rounded the corners with the same punch. T...

   Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is the semi monochromatic card using dies and stamps.... I first of all took a 7x5in white landscape card from Paper Boutique (Creative Crafting World) and used a Kit n Caboodle punch to create a different corner. I then cut out the two frames (from Stamps by Me) twice, the top one in Lynda Chapman's Black card and the bottom one in Bright blue self adhesive sheet (from Dalton Manor) and placed them on top of each other so that the blue foliage parts show through. I then attached it to the front of the card using a solid tape pen but you could use it a wet glue so that you can place it where you want. I had previously cut out the flower spray (Refined Bouquet from Tattered Lace) in Lynda Chapman's Black card and added it to the bottom of the frame again using a tape pen - this time a dotty one so the glue only goes where it needs to. I cut out a stitched edged circle out of white card and ...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one made totally from scratch using just dies and toppers... I hope you like it. I first of all used the largest of the Striped Oval dies from Tattered Lace and cut out two pieces of white card. I scored one at the top (about 3/4") and folded it back, added some red liner tape and created my card by sticking the two together. I then cut out a mat layer using the largest ornate die, using a golden colour Paper Dienanamics Metalinks card. Using a dotty tape pen, I attached it to the front of the card making sure it was the right way up as I found out that it did matter! I then used two toppers from the Gnome topper collection from Paper Boutique - added the stripy one to the left with a tape pen and the toadstools on some foam tape to give it a bit of height. I then cut out the two sentiments and stuck them in between the two toppers. So if you think this sounds interesting then why not:- Follow us on Twitter  ...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one that could be sent to a friend you haven't seen for some time! I decided to stamp the flower spray (from the Sending Smiles die and stamp collection from Stamps by Me) directly on to the front of a 7" x 5" white card which I used as a tent fold card. Before stamping it, I rounded the corners using my Prism punch from Hunkydory. I put the card in a stamping platform and stamped it using Gina K Obsidian Black ink a couple of times to make sure it was perfect.  I also stamped the Lovely Friend sentiment at the same time at the bottom of the card. I then added some masking tape and inked the left hand side of the card with a mix of Izink Dye based ink pads. I added a narrow strip of red liner tape, removed the backing and placed some black foil on top of it and burnished it so that there was no stickiness left. As the image was stamped directly on to the card, I could only used pencils and so used a mix of Stabi...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is A6 and has been made using dies, stamps and colouring materials. I cut out the largest panel (Lisa Horton's Harlequin Bubbles Mini Slimline Die) in Lynda Chapman's Black card first of all. I then cut out a smaller rectangle in white and whilst still in the die, coloured it with a variety of Harmony inks from Crafter's Companion - red, yellow and orange and blended them in until I was happy with the result and took it out of the die to dry. I cleaned the die so that there was no ink left on it. I then cut out the sentiment panel dies which are from the Tags collection from Carnation Crafts - the layering panel in white and coloured it in to match the main background, then the ornate part in Lynda Chapman's Black card and the sentiment panel in white. I then used a dotty pen (from Crafter's Companion) to attach the ornate panel to the back layer and then a normal tape pen to attach the white panel. The sentiment, ...
