Wild and Free - Arrow and feathers 5x7in card Hi Craft addicts! Well the sun is shining - what a nice change! I had fun making this card  How I made this card There are two stamps by two different companies with the arrow and feathers as a theme and this one is the Woodware version (designed by Francoise Read) and first of all, I took a piece of White Stamping card (pre cut A6 panels from Rare Earth) and dusted it with an anti-static bag. I then stamped the image directly on to it with some Versamark ink. I covered it with Cosmic Shimmer True White Embossing Powder and then heat set it. I still love this technique! Once it was cool, I then sprinkled it with a variety of Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Shakers - Bright Sunshine, Tangy Tangerine, Lush Pink, Lime Burst, Electric Blue and Purple Paradise and then spritzed it with some water, allowing it to spread over the card. I then dabbed it with some kitchen roll to diffuse the colours a bit. The Green and White background ...

Congratulations! Hedgehog silhouette on rainbow background top fold card Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a fun and cheerful card for The 100 Day project made using a background created by myself along with a couple of dies and stamp. How I made this card:- I first of all coloured a piece of white stamping card creating a background of rainbow colours made by Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. I then cut a panel out using the largest Spellbinders Diamond Effects Nestabilities dies. Using the Marble 2D embossing folder from Creative Expressions, I embossed it using an electric cutting machine. As some of the diamond edges were thin, I trimmed them off and edged the rest with a black alcohol marker. Once I was happy with the result, I stuck the panel on to the front of a 7" x 5" top fold white card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I added some Black and Green ink to the Congratulations sentiment stamp (from Dreamees) and stamped it towards the bottom of ...

To the Best Friend - lady in pink dress hand coloured  5" x 7" card Hi Craft addicts! Well I enjoyed making this card a lot - using a mix of dies, Distress Crayons and stamps... How I made this card:- I cut out the lady in white card from the Free Spirit Die by Tattered Lace. I then coloured it in using watercolour paints (you can of course use any colours you like) and stuck it on to some black card, trimming it to leave a narrow border. I used Rainbow coloured Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to colour a background on to some white linen effect card, and once happy with it, blended the colours in using a paintbrush and left it to dry. I then cut out a lattice background (from a Spellbinders die) in black card and stuck it over the rainbow one and trimmed it again. Using Collall All Purpose glue, I attached the main panel on to the front of a 5" x 7" white card. I then placed the lady die-cut on to the card with a mix of foam pads and glue. I also st...

Wish... Bird on branch silhouette on rainbow background 7x5in card Hi Craft addicts This was really great fun to make using dies and a rainbow background I created using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. How I made this card:- I had created two backgrounds on some white card using the Rainbow coloured Distress Crayons - I added one colour at a time (in stages) and blended them in again one at a time. I then used a paintbrush and water to smooth the colours out. Whilst they were drying, I used the middle 2 dies from the Oceana Layering Die set from Tonic Studios and cut the background frame out. I really like this die as it is quite unusual. I also cut out the Birds on branches die (from Tattered Lace) in Black cardstock as I thought it would look great as a silhouette on the rainbow background. I then cut out the Wish sentiment die (from the Birthday Bonanza Moonstone set by Hunkydory) in the 2nd piece of Rainbow coloured card. I also found out that I can use the waste on ano...

Wishing you a bright and happy day Birthday card with butterflies and rainbow background Hi Craft Addicts! I was really pleased with the way the Butterflies panel die from Sweet Dixie worked with a background I created using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons (definitely one of my favourite sets to use!)... if you want to see how I made it read on! How I made this card:- I created the background by adding various splodges (a technical term I know) of Tim Holtz Distress Crayons one at a time (rainbow colours) blending them as I went as the crayons dry quickly onto some white Hammered card. Once I was fairly happy with it, I then used a paintbrush and water to blend the colours in and left it to dry. Whilst waiting for that, I used the Flutterby By Panel die (from Sweet Dixie) and cut it out in black cardstock (Lynda Chapman's World of Paper. I used some Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue to attach the panel on the rainbow background placing it in the middle of it. I then stuck the who...

Sending lots of love flower 7x5" card -  Day 254 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I have made this simple but stylish 7" x 5" card for day 254 of my 365 day challenge using watercolourpaints, a mask and some Mirri Card... How I made this card:- I first of all used a piece of stamping card and using Dreamees Watercolour chalk Dinkie Inkies cubes, coloured the background creating a sunrise scene. I then placed the flower mask (from Glitz Crafts) Girlie stencils over the background and taped it down. Once it was secure, I used Versafine Onyx Black on a sponge dauber and coloured through it until I was certain it had covered all of the image. I removed the tape and stencil carefully as I didn't want to smudge it. I then trimmed it so it measured 85x110mm and edged it with a black alcohol marker. I attached it to some gold Mirri card (from Hunkydory) leaving a narrow border around it 90x115mm and stuck it to the front of a A6 white card. Fina...
