  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card is another one using the Autumnal Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion along with various other products:- I decided to use the Scattered Leaves stencil from the Autumnal Blessings collection from Crafter's Companion directly on to the front of an A6 white card.  I placed it over the card and used a variety of Autumnal colours (greens, browns and yellows) - mainly Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks but also Harmony inks from Crafter's Companion. When I was happy with the effect, I rounded the corners of the card using a Hunkydory Corner punch. I used the smaller of the Oval Spellbinders Petit Picot edge die and cut it out in white card and whilst it was still in the die I coloured the inside using Nuvo Safari Green ink pad which mean that the outside edge would remain white. I took it out of the die and left it to dry. I cut out the larger of the skeleton leaves using some cardstock that I had previously...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is another one in my Autumn themed range.... Very easy to do and great to look at! I first of all cut out a circle using one of the smaller Spellbinders Petit Picot edge die using some stamping card I then used the Autumnal Tree layering stamps to create the tree directly on to the circle (using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks - Antique Linen, Walnut Stain, Crackling Campfire and Gathered Twigs) - I used a mix of Gina K Obsidian Black ink along with a bit of Walnut Stain for the 1st layer which is the tree and then followed the numbers on each stamp. I added a sky background using what was left on my "blue" blending brush. Before sticking the topper down, I rounded the corners of a 4" white card using my Hunkydory Prism punch and then coloured the edges using the "brown" blending brush. I used a dotty glue pen to stick the topper down as it doesn't let the glue seep through th...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one I really enjoyed making... I used a base cream/ivory A6 card and rounded the corners of it using a Hunkydory Prism punch. I then cut out the backing layer using the Petit Picot Edge rectangle die from Spellbinders and coloured it in using reds/oranges and yellows Hybrid inks before removing it from the die. Once I was happy with the blending, I put it to one side whilst I made the topper. I stamped out the honey jar from the Bee-utiful collection from Crafter's Companion's Natures Garden range on to some white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured it in using Red and Yellow Spectrum Noir Tri-blenders which were slightly darker in colour to the background but still co-ordinated with it. I used my fingers to shape it a bit and added it to the background with foam pads (double in the centre so it was domed). I also stamped out the On Your Special Day sentiment from another of Lisa Horton's sentiment collection...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is one uses stamps and dies from a variety of Companies.... I first of all stamped the Scribbly owl from Jane Gill's Woodware range on to some white stamping card using Gina K's Obsidian black ink.  I also added the Happy Birthday to you sentiment directly stamping it on to the topper. I then coloured it in using both Spectrum Noir Triblender markers (brown shades) along with some other colours for the eyes and flowers - you could of course colour it in using any media! I also used some of Tim Holtz's Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink on a glass mat, spritzed it with some water and then added an edge to the design. I used the largest of the Petit Picot edge Rectangle dies from Spellbinders (I really love this design) and cut it out and then trimmed it slightly to give a different effect to the border. I used a dotty pen (from Crafter's Companion) to attach it to the front of a 7" x 5" blac...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade (literally from scratch) is a bright and cheerful card using dies and stamps. I first of all used the largest of Spellbinders Petit Picot Edge Oval dies and cut out two pieces of white card, and keeping the second one within the die, I coloured it in using some pink/red inks. I then scored the second piece of card at the back with my Hunkydory's Adorable Scoreboard about 3/4" from the top (long side), added some red liner tape and attached them together making sure they married up ok. Using the same die, I then cut out a piece of dark teal card (from Paper Dienamics Metallinks range) and stuck it to the front of the card using a dotty tape pen (vertically). I then cut out one of the smaller ovals in the same range and again keeping it in the die, coloured it in using pinks and purples. I stamped the Honey jar (from Crafter's Companion's Nature Garden Bee-utiful collection) on to some white card using Gina K's Obsi...

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 latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is another floral one using stamps, dies, alcohol markers and pencils. I used the largest of the Spellbinders' Petit Picot edge rectangle die and cut it out in Ivory Crafter's Companion 300gsm card which is the weight I prefer as it gives it some stability. I made sure that there were no waste bits left and then attached it to some Green Metallinks card from Paper Dienamics and trimmed it so there was only a narrow border. I used a dotty tape pen so that the glue only stays where the card is and there is no residue in the spaces. I then made the base card using the largest of Lisa Horton's rectangle dies, cut two pieces in white, scored one of them at the top (about 3/4" down) and added some red liner tape to the inside of the card, removed the backing and attached the two together. For the topper itself, I stamped the Peony flower image from Jane Gill's collection from Woodware Sta...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one using some dies, stamps and some inks! I coloured a piece of white card using yellow, orange, red and pink Distress Oxide and Harmony inks (from Tim Holtz and Crafter's Companion) to make a sunrise (esque) background and cut it out using Spellbinder's Petite Picot edge square die. I then added some self adhesive paper to the back of a piece of Lynda Chapman's Black card and used the Bumbling in the Flowers Die from Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Bee-youtiful collection to cut it out. Removing the backing sheet carefully, and taking out any waste bits left, I then stuck that to the frame I had made earlier. I used a dotty tape pen to attach the whole thing to the front of a 5" white card leaving a narrow border all around it. I then stamped out the Bee Kind sentiment on to some white card, coloured it a bit with the residue inks left on my blender brushes and attached it to the bottom right hand cor...

   Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a quick and easy to make but I do think it is good to look at! I first of all created the rainbow background using Ink Lily Glimmer pens (from all sets) - it is just a shame that you can't see the Gold glimmer from them. I then die cut the main panel out using Spellbinders Petit Picot Edge rectangle, making sure all the bits had fallen out. I then stuck it on to the front of an A6 white card using a dotty glue pen from Crafter's Companion. The T-shirt stamp from the Nothing to Wear collection from Visible Image and then added the Be Kind sentiment (from the same collection and stamped them on to the card using Gina K's Obsidian Black ink.
