  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is an A6 card using dies and stamps from a variety of companies.... I first of all coloured a piece of white card with a variety of brown hybrid/distress oxide inks to create the hessian colour.  Once I was happy with the colour, I left it to dry for a bit and cut out the Bird die from Tattered Lace (it is called Sentimental Blossom) out of Lynda Chapman's Black card and then the mat layer out from a wood effect piece of card/paper from Stamps by Me and attached the bird to it using a dotty tape pen (which allows the glue only to stay on the card and not the empty spaces). To create the background for the bird to "sit" on, I used the Shabby Basics - Cheesecloth die (designed by Sue Poole) from Creative Expressions and cut it out using the card I had previously coloured in. I rounded the corners of an A6 card using the Hunkydory Prism punch and then attached the Cheesecloth die-cut on to it ...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's is a bright and cheerful Birthday card using stamps and dies for my 365 day challenge. I used the Slimline Delicate square stripes die designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions to cut out this panel from some hand coloured cardstock (using Greens and yellow water reactive inks). I removed all the waste and fussy cut around it and attached it to the front of a white DL card (the corners of which I had rounded using the Prism punch) using Crafter's Companion Dotty tape pen. I stamped out the Sunflower design on to some white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink and coloured it in using Stabilo pencils. I fussy cut around it and then edged it with a black alcohol marker and then added it to the top half of the card with some thin foam pads. I also stamped out the On your Special Day sentiment (from Stamps by Me) on to some white card, fussy cut around it, edged it with an alcohol marker and attached it to the bottom of the card wi...

On your Special day... bubbles and lace 7x5in card. Hi Craft addicts! Well it is Tessellating Tuesday so I have made this card using dies from Tattered Lace and Creative Expressions.... How I made this card:- I must admit that I had used the Bubbles/Balloons die before (it is from Lisa Horton's Broken Tiles Collection by Creative Expressions and is called Circular Dreams.. I cut them out a couple of times in black pearlescent linen effect card using both of them at the same time (taping them together to make sure they didn't cross over). I then stuck them both to some white card using PVA glue and coloured a few of the spaces in using a blue alcohol marker. You can keep the waste for other projects if you like... I used PVA glue to attach them in opposite corners of a 7" x 5" black pearlescent card leaving a space in between them. I took a scrap piece of paper (about 3.5" x 2.5" and coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer's Opal Polishes (Par...

On Your Special Day Cats in a window silhouette 7x5in card -  Day 120 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for day 120 of my 365 day challenge is one that I have made using a Tonic Studios die, some background papers from Craftwork Cards and a sentiment. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the cats silhouette die from Tonic Studios (the blinds part of it needs to be cut out twice) - I cut it out in white and black card. I then stuck it to another sheet of white card and coloured the frame using a brown alcohol marker. I put a few drops of a Dreamees Pearl re-inker in a palette and coloured in the background, trying to make it darker at the bottom. I used a piece of the brick style paper from the Man Made Collection by Craftwork cards and inked it with some Rusty Hinge Tim Holtz Distress inks and placed in on a layer of Chocolate brown cardstock (from Lynda Chapman's World of Paper), leaving a wide border around each. I adde...
