Hummingbird in flight Thank you DL card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts! Well this card took me a bit longer than usual but am pleased with how it turned out! If you want to read more then there is some after the pic! I first of all used the largest of the DL square hole die (I think it is from Lisa Horton) and cut two of them out in white card. To make the card, I scored just under the top set of holes and added some red liner tape to the space and stuck the two pieces together. I then added some Wild Spider Self adhesive sheet to a piece of Lynda Chapman's Black card and using the smaller outline and frame dies from Lisa Horton's Slimline Cracked Frame die, took the backing sheet off and attached it to some card - I used blue card as I thought I would leave some of the spaces without the flowers but as I didn't you could use any card! I then repeated the same thing with a sheet of Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me It's all about you flower 8" x 8" paper pad - thinking about it after spending some time paper piecin...

Good Luck Sunburst Cream and black DL card

Good Luck Sunburst Cream and black DL card Hi Craft addicts! Well it is nearly the weekend and the sun has begun to shine here and I thought it appropriate to post this card which is very simple to make... How I made this card:- I first of all cut out two die-cuts of the Synergy Lattice 3 die, one in black card and the other in cream/ivory (see below for details). I then cut the black one in half (I didn't want to use the solid piece of the card) and then glued it to the front of a white DL card, making sure that half of the circle was free! I will use the cream die-cut another time but decided to paper piece the main parts into either side of the design and then 3 points of the sunburst - I used Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue to do this... I also used the semi circle of the cream die-cut and glued it to just below the circle again using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I felt that the above needed something extra, so I used the Good Luck sentiment from one of Paper Boutique...

Cute mouse on bauble Sending Love at Christmas card -  Day 351 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts Today's card (day 351 of my challenge) is one I have made using a form of paper piecing, die cuts and alcohol markers. How I made this card:- I cut out the cute Mouse  on a bauble 3 times -  once in White card, another in Gold Mirri and the last one in Green Mirri. I then snipped the Green die-cut so that I could glue the bauble parts (the top, middle and bottom) on to the gold one leaving parts of it showing. I then coloured in the mouse itself using Grey, Pink, Red, Green and blue alcohol markers (Prism pens this time) and cut it so that only the mouse was remaining - I then glued that to the gold topper using PVA glue. I stuck the whole topper on to the front of a 6" black pearlescent card (from Create & Craft's Core Collection) again using PVA glue. I had this sentiment  left over from Craftwork Cards  Year of Sentiments pad and adde...
