Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card is a simple but effective A6 card using stamps and dies.... I cut out a piece of white stamping card and stamped the Sweet Dixie Badger image on to it using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I used a mix of Stabilo FSC colouring pencils and alcohol markers to colour the animal and foliage in. For the grass and sky, I placed some Blue and Green Distress Oxide inks on to a glass mat, spritzed some water on them and used the inks as a paint. I then cut out a panel using the Petit Picot Rectangle die (middle size one) from Paper Dienmamics Metallink card stock and then trimmed the stamped image to fit inside it. I also edged the panel with a black alcohol marker. I had made the card myself using a Lisa Horton Rectangle stitched die.  I cut two pieces out, scored the back one about 3/4" down from the top, added some red liner tape, removed the backing and stuck it to the card. I then made sure the two pieces of card lined up p...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a bright and cheerful one using stamps and dies on a DL top fold card. I first of all cut out a large panel of bright green card that fitted the front of a DL card which is a landscape one that I used to make a tent/top fold card. I then added a smaller panel of the gingham/check paper using fingerlift tape as I didn't want the paper to buckle. I used two smaller pieces of the same card and paper to create a smaller panel and glued it to the side or top of the card. I cut out the bunch of daffodils in white card (it is a Tattered Lace die) and coloured it in using the Orange and Yellow Crystal Tints by Creative Expressions. I then mat and layered it on to matching Green card which is part of the Tattered Lace die and attached it to the front of the card using foam pads. I used the Sending Love stamp and stamped it on to some white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink, mat and layering it on to some green and then black card again adding it to t...

  Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is one that would be great for Valentine's Day and makes use of both dies and stamps! I had cut the backing layer for another project but didn't use it so decided to use it with this one. It is a Rose Gold colour Mirror card and the die is from Stamps By Me (I think). I attached it to the front of a 7" x 5" white card using fingerlift tape as I didn't want to have any glue showing. I stamped the cute kids image out on to some white stamping card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink - the stamp is from Bring on the Boys collection from Linnie Pink I coloured them in using Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Triblenders as they make colouring in so easy with the 3 shades in one pen. I used blue and green Distress Oxide inks for the background and then edged it with a black alcohol marker. Using Hunkydory's Prism Corner round puncher for both the main card and the topper, I rounded the edges. I again used Fingerlift tape to ...
