Happy Holidays... children with sandcastle square card -  Day 295 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is a bright and cheerful card celebrating summer holiday time - made with one die and some backing papers. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the mat and layer using 2 Tattered Lace Square nesting dies - the paper is from Hunkydory's Splendid Spots paper pad - you need 2 pieces as the 2 dies don't quite fit (the paper is double sided so you need to reverse one of them to get the stitched effect on both). I then used a tape pen to attach the smaller layer to the larger one (I had used glue on one before but the glue showed through).  Using white card, I then cut out the sandcastle die (again from Tattered Lace) and coloured it in using Chameleon pencils. I decided to use them rather than paints as it was easier for me to use them. I attached it to the front of the 6" white pearlescent card using PVA glue....

Thanks - Thistle in silhouette on hand coloured background Kraft card - Day 237 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for day 237 of my 365 day challenge is a Thank You card using a Thistle in silhouette as the main focal point. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out a square (with a scalloped edge) out of white stamping card using a Tattered Lace die - it measures approximately 90mm) and coloured the edges using blue distress inks - I left the centre white and used some grey at the bottom to make it a bit darker. I then cut out the Thistle die cut out in black card (Lynda Chapman's) and stuck it to the panel at an angle using Midas Touch Sticky Dots. I then placed the panel on to a slightly larger gold Mirri one (from Hunkydory) and then added that to another white piece of card  - this time with a narrower border. I then attached the whole panel in the middle of a square (135mm) Kraft Card. I used Gina K Crystalline pen to add some dr...

Happy Birthday toadstool and rabbit in silhouette C6 card -  Day 207 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for day 207 of my challenge is a bright and cheerful card using a die cut as a stencil along with some Tattered Lace dies and a sentiment! How I made this card:- I had cut out the flowers using a Stamps by Me die but hadn't found a use for it as a die-cut but thought it would be good as a stencil, so I took a piece of linen effect white card and using a mix of Tim Holtz Distress inks and Altnew inks coloured through the various flowers. I trimmed it to 90x140mm and edged it using a black alcohol marker and stuck it to the front of a white linen effect C6 card - I chose the linen effect so it looked as if it was the same as the topper. I then cut out the circle layer (Tattered Lace) in a light Kraft colour cardstock and then the rabbit and toadstool - again both Tattered Lace, this time in black card. I stuck the toadstool and rabbit on t...

Flying by to say Congratulations - Planes and Parachutists 7x5in card Day 152 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is a fun and whimsical Congratulations card made using For The Love of Stamps and mask, alcohol markers, distress/dye based inks and Zig Clean Color pens. How I made this card:- I used a 7" x 5" white card for the base card, and using the For the Love of Masks Plane Cute coloured the border using Salty Ocean Tim Holtz Distress inks, moving it along every so often as it is a square mask and this is obviously a rectangle one! Once I was happy with it, I then used the mask to ink through and added the planes, clouds and birds and FLY images, using the Salty Ocean and Seedless Preserves inks (some lighter than others). I then stamped out the parachutists and a few of the planes several times on to white stamping card and coloured them all in using different alcohol markers - I did use Zig Clean colour pens for one of the p...

Birthday Smiles set of 3 gift cards - hand coloured and stamped - Day 142 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's project is a set of 3 hand coloured small cards that can be used as gift cards or just to say Happy Birthday! How I made these cards:- I had these small cards and when I had stamped out the scenes realised that they were the perfect size for them! I stamped each image out on to white stamping card and coloured them in using a mix of alcohol markers, Zig Clean Color pens and Distress inks - Tim Holtz, Spectrum Noir, Altenew and La Plume to name a few! I used a small score board (the Tattered Lace one is perfect for these little cards) and scored 2 lines on the right hand side of the card - first of all from the inside and then repeated the score on the outside. I then cut the stamped images out and edged them all using a dark blue alcohol marker and stuck them to the front of each card. I used the Happy Birthday and Smile! sentiments (not sure...

Meow - trendy French cat in beret A5 white card -  Day 126 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is a really fun card using a Hunkydory Topper (from their Pampered Paws Little Books), some of their Holographic Mirri card and some Rare Earth stamps... How I made this card:- I first of all used the fish bones, bowl and ball of wool and stamped them directly on to the front of an A5 white linen effect card using black ink. I then coloured bits of them in using Zig Clean Color pens (blue and brown) and inked the edges with what blue ink (Salty Ocean Tim Holtz) was left on my sponge. I took one sheet of the cat in a French outfit and stuck it on to some Holographic card (from Hunkydory) and trimmed it so there was a border all around it. I then stuck it on the front of the card using fingerlift tape. I stamped the MEOW and speech bubble (the Meow in blue and the bubble in black), cut around it and attached it to the card using foam p...

Friends like you... flowers, mice and rabbit C6 card -  Day 57 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well what a funny day it is today - snow showers, sunshine and clouds and very cold! So this card (day 57 of my 365 day challenge), is a bright and cheerful one i think.... How I made this card:- I used a pre-cut C6 white panel (from Rare Earth or Craftwork Cards) - trimming it slightly to fit a C6 white straight edged card. I stamped the bluebell flower stamp (from the Friends Like You set from For The Love of Stamps) using Onyx Black Versafine ink pad and heat embossed it using a heat tool. I used a water brush and added some water to the flowers a couple at a time and coloured them in using Violet Zig Clean Color pens trying to give them all some shadow towards the top of the flowers - and carried on doing the rest of them - I then used a couple of shades of green to colour in the leaves and stems.  I also added one of the butterflies and coloured it in...

Quackers! Ducks and ducklings hand stamped shaped card -  Day 42 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! It isn't often that I am really pleased with the way a card has turned out but this is definitely one of the ones that I am so happy with as I had made another card but it just wasn't right but this one was! If you want to see how I made it then read on! I used a scalloped edged white card (148mm or 6") and added a border to it with an alcohol marker using one of the scallops as a guide. The ducks and ducklings (or are the babies goslings?) - from the Totally Quackers set from For the Love of Stamps are stamped on white super smooth cardstock (Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) using Onyx Black Versafine ink pad and let them all dry. I coloured the larger bird in using 3 shades of green alcohol markers (Altenew or Spectrum Noir will do) trying to make it look realistic and then used a Coral pink one for the bill and feet - whilst that dried, I colour...
