Happy Christmas Penguins and Igloo square card

Happy Christmas Penguins and Igloo square card Hi Craft addicts! I like using a variety of Companies when making my projects and this card is no exception! How I made this project:- This is a 5in white square card (which are available from a variety of Companies such as Hunkydory, Creative Crafting World and so on). I have had this A4 pad of a variety of Tartan papers for ages and so cut a strip (approximately 2" wide) and attached it to the left hand side of the card using PVA glue. I then stamped out two of the Penguins and the Igloo from Lisa Horton's Penguin Fun stamp set from Creative Expressions using Gina K's Black Amalgam ink on to some white stamping card. I coloured them in using alcohol markers (both Hunkydory's Prism and Spectrum Noir) and cut them out close to the edge, which I then coloured in with a Black alcohol marker. I stuck the Igloo and smaller of the Penguins down with PVA glue and then attached the larger one to the right h...

Rudolph on snowflake and reindeer DL card Hi Craft addicts! This is a cheerful Christmas card using a Tonic Studios baby Reindeer die, some stamps and reindeer backing paper. How I made this card:- I first of all took a piece of Black card Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) and cut out the baby Reindeer die (it is an old Tonic Studios one). I then stuck it to some Kraft card and cut around it leaving a very narrow border of the Kraft card. I cut out a background panel of the Reindeer Kraft coloured paper using a large rectangle DL die (Tattered Lace) and stuck it to the front of a DL card using PVA glue. I already had a Deckle edged rectangle panel (from Craft Creations) and I used Salty Ocean Tim Holtz Distress ink to colour it in slightly and then used a flowery/snowflake stamp to create the background - using Broken China ink cube so they stood out. I then added the panel to the top part of the card again using PVA glue and then attached the Rudolph die cut to i...

Snowflakes on snowflakes - 6in square card -  Day 338 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a "Snowflake" themed one - day 338 of my 366 day challenge - I have used various Tattered lace and Tonic Studios dies along with some Nuvo crystal drops and has a blue theme! How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the "snowflake" doily die (main 2 dies) from Tattered Lace in black cardstock and stuck them to some "White" cardstock which I had previously coloured using "Blue" distress/dye based inks. I then cut round it leaving a very narrow border and glued that to the larger "blue" circle which I cut out using the larger "Threaded Scallop" die from Tonic Studios. I then stuck that to a 6" white straight edged card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. Finally, I used some "Ripened Pumpkin" Nuvo crystal drops in all of the holes left in the die cut and a few in the middle of the s...

Snowflake on Snowflake background Christmas card -  day 325 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Snowflakes are the theme for today's card for day 325 of my 366 day challenge - can't believe it has gone so quickly! I have used some Tattered Lace dies, some snowflake background paper and a snowflake die along with some blue inks. How I made this card:- I first of all took a sheet of the "Snowflakes" background paper (Christmas Wishes 8" paper pad from Tonic Studios) and cut it to fit a 6" white card using a Tattered Lace picot edged square die (approx 5.25" ) and coloured the edges in "Blue" Papermania dye making the bottom part darker than the top. I then stuck it to the front of the card using fingerlift tape trying to make sure that there was an even space all around it! I then cut out the "Snowflake" using a Creative Expressions die (not sure which one) out of some white card that I had previously coloured...

Blank star or snowflake C5 easel card -  day 313 of my 366 day challeng e Hi Craft addicts! Today's C5 easel card has been made using a couple of Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson) dies along with a Tattered Lace die. How I made this card:- I took a C5 card and turned it on its' side and folded the front flap in on itself to make an easel card. I cut out the "snowflake" in white card using the largest of the dies from the Sue Wilson Christmas 2015 collection. I then cut out the "Stained Glass" circle (again from Creative Expressions), this time in red card. For the panel itself, this is cut out from black card using a Tattered Lace "Pin dot square" die. I then stuck the red circle on to it using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and then added the "snowflake" on to it only gluing the centre part of it. I then added the whole panel on to the middle of the card, making sure that it is only glued on the bottom half of it. I then c...
