Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is one using just stamps, dye based inks and a corner punch! I first of all took a piece of white stamping card (so many companies now produce this but I use either Sheena Douglass Willow White Card, Hunkydory Stamp/Ink me cardstock or Tonic Studios Craft Perfect) and placed it in a stamping platform, taping it down. I then placed the flower stamp (from the Beautiful Blooms set from Honey Doo Crafts) in one corner and stamped it using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I repeated the process, rotating the card by 90 degrees each time. Once I had stamped it in each corner, I then stamped it once again in the centre. I then used the smaller of the leaves stamps and inked it with a dark green (Emerald) dye-based ink from Izink (Aladine) and then stamped it in between each of the flowers. I then edged it with a black alcohol ink marker and attached it to some gold Mirror card with a tape pen and trimmed it so ther...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one I have made from scratch including the card itself... I first of all used the 15x10.5cm Creative Expressions Noble stitched die from one of Sue Wilson's collection and cut out two pieces of white card.  I hadn't at that point decided to use these as the card itself so I stamped the Dancing Daisies (from Honey Doo Crafts) directly on to one of the panels using Gina K's Obsidian Black ink and then as I had decided by then that I would be using them as a card, I had to choose how to colour them. In the end I chose the brilliant Stabilo's FSC certified crayons which I find are great for colouring in and also blend brilliantly. I used red, yellow and orange for the flowers and two shades of green for the leaves and stems. Once I had coloured it in, I scored the remaining card approximately 3/4" down from the top and then added some red liner tape, removed the backing and attached them together, making sure they ...

   Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one using a variety of products from stamps to a guillotine... I used one of the 7" unscored cards that Red Button produce and scored it (using my Hunkydory Adorable Scoreboard) in the middle (7") and then again on the left hand side at 3.5" and scored them to create a Z fold card. I stamped the floral image and sentiment out on to some white stamping card (they are both from Honey Doo Crafts Floral Reasons set) using Gina K Obsidian Black ink and coloured it in using Spectrum Noir Illustrator alcohol markers. I then used the largest square stitched dies from Toni Darroch's Stamp by Me Star Stitching set to cut it out (some of the stamped image did get cropped) and then edged it with a black alcohol marker. I then added it to some wooden effect paper (from Crafter's Companion) and then stuck it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card (from Creative Crafting World) and cut it so there was a narrow border al...
