Good Luck... Heron and Bees on gold Adoirable Scorable card Hi Craft addicts! I hope you all had a great weekend...Wimbledon Tennis is on so what can be better!  Today's card is one I have made using Hunkydory's Adorable Scorable card, some dies from Lynda Chapman's The Paper Boutique range and a Pretty Quick die... How I made this card:- I trimmed a 7" x 5" pre cut card (Gold/bronze Hunkydory Adorable Scorable) to approximately 6" x 4" as I wanted it to be a bit smaller - you could of course use an A4 piece of card and cut it to 8" x 4" and fold it in half. I then cut out the Heron image using the Pretty Quick Heron die in black card. I also used the Bee die set from Lynda Chapman's The Paper Boutique Butterflies and Bee collection and cut the various segments out in Yellow, Orange and black (all 3 parts in all colours as I wanted to mix n match them). I realised that I didn't want to use the mat layer of the bee and so...

Floral stained glass effect square card on red and gold background Hi Craft addicts! Well I haven't quite managed to do my blog every other day but here is a card that I have made recently. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the frame using the Cherish Every Moment die set from Paper Boutique (Creative Crafting World) using the main die for the mat in Gold Mirror Card (Hunkydory or Kanban) and then used the frame and main die to cut out the ornate heart frame in red card. I then stuck the frame on to the mat using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I used the square die within the set to cut out the next layer again in the Gold Mirror Card. The floral bouquet die cut is one from Tattered Lace and I used a self adhesive black paper to do it and attached it on to some white card. Once I had burnished it down sufficiently, I used a variety of alcohol markers to colour it in to try and give it a stained glass effect.  I then attached it to the gold mat and then used ...

Love the Bones of you.... square card -  Day 294 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge (nearly day 300) is a very quick and simple fun card using dies from Paper Boutique. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the mat layer from the Love the Bones of You die set using black card. I then cut out the skull layer using white card and stuck it on top of the mat. Using the circle die within the set, I then cut out another mat in black card. I also cut out the sentiment and accompanying mat layer in orange and black and stuck them together using PVA glue. I attached the main mat and layer on to a 6" white pearlescent card using PVA glue. I then attached the black circle in the middle, this time using some thin foam pads. Finally, I added the sentiment on top of that, this time using PVA glue. A nd there you are  - a homemade/handmade card that was made using only a few products but is fun but stylish to send for Hall...
