Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a bright and cheerful card using various products... I rounded the corners of a 7" x 5" top fold card using a Hunkydory corner punch. I then cut a piece of green paper (from Paper Boutique Dancing Daisies 8" paper pad) to fit the front of the card leaving a narrow border around it (approximately 6.5" x 4.5". I also rounded the corners of it too. I took one of Lisa Horton's Slimline Floral stencils and coloured through it using pastel hybrid inks (Tim Holtz/Crafters Companion and Nuvo) and trimmed it so that it measured about 2.5" x 5" and rounded the corners. I then attached it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card, trimmed it so there was a narrow border and then rounded the corners of that too. I fussy cut out the sentiment border from the Dancing Daisies Paper pad and stuck it to a panel of coloured card which I then edged with a black alcohol marker. I then stuc...

Hi Craft addicts!       As it is now officially Autumn, I have created a series of cards using the Autumn Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion along with various other products to complete them for my 365 day challenge! The first one is this Congratulations card... I first of all used a variety of Aladine Izink sprays and spritzed a yellow piece of card (from Tattered Lace) to create an Autumn feel background. Once it was dry, I trimmed it to fit the Autumnal Foliage 3D embossing folder, placed it inside and put it through my Big Shot foldaway cutting machine. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. For the main topper, I took a tag from Hunkydory's Prism range and using some of their Washi tape to mask the centre, coloured both sides of the tag with Yellow and Orange inks (Hybrid inks) and left it to dry before taking the tape away. Once dry, I then used the Autumnal Tree layering stamps, following the numbers and used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Walnut ...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this possibly male orientated one featuring this vintage car (though I love this stamp). I first of all placed some white card on to a stamping platform and taped it down so it wouldn't move and then added the Vintage car stamp (from InkLily) on to it where I wanted it and picked it up. I then used Gina K Obsidian Black ink and dabbed it all over making sure it was completely covered (making sure that the image was complete). I repeated the process and stamped it on to some masking sheet and cut around it and placed it over the image as I wanted to colour the sky and ground in. I used Aladine's Izinks to do this with my blending brush. Removing the masking sheet, I then coloured the car in using Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers - brown and grey shades. I rounded the corners using a Prism Corner punch and then added it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card and stuck it using a tape pen. I then round...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is one made using some dies, stamps and watercolour paints. I used the Floral Spray die from Stamps by Me and cut it out in Lynda Chapman's Black card which I had backed with Wild Spider Self Adhesive paper (but Creative Expressions do some too). I removed the backing sheet and placed it on to some white card burnishing it so that it was well stuck down. I then used some watercolour paints (Himi from Stamps by Me) to colour the flowers in and let it dry. I also coloured the sky in using blue watercolour paints. I trimmed it and stuck it to the front of a 7" x 5" white card (the corners of which I had rounded using a Hunkydory punch from their Prism range. I then used the Just Saying Hello sentiment stamp and added it to the bottom of the card (I used Gina K Obsidian Black ink).
