Happy Birthday abstract flower blue,cream and white card Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a plain but I think striking Birthday card which I have made using some dies and a sentiment stamped on matching card... How I made this card:- I had cut out the main background layer, frame and insert from the Love Conquers All die set (from The Paper Boutique range from Creative Crafting World) in cream and ivory card. I then glued them both together using PVA glue making sure that they aligned properly. I then cut out the middle square (again from the same set) in a blue card and stuck that to the middle of the main background layer. For the flower, I used one of the die sets in their Floral Embellishments pack and cut that out in the same blue and the background layer in the lighter ivory and again glued them together with PVA glue. I then stuck the whole thing on to the front of an A5 white card on the left hand side as I wanted the sentiment to fill the right hand side...

Let's Celebrate... Butterfly on tree bark background A6 card Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this card as it combines backgrounds I have created myself using Alcohol inks or Tim Holtz Distress Crayons with stamps and dies... How I made this card- I had coloured a piece of card using bright coloured Alcohol inks (or watercolours) and decided that I would use it to make one of the Butterflies in the Butterfly Embellishment Die set from The Paper Boutique (Creative Crafting World) and so cut out the body/wings in it and then the Antennae and mat layer in black card and stuck them together using PVA Glue. I then added some Versamark sticky ink to it and heat embossed it with Clear embossing powder to give it both a sheen and more stability. I had also coloured a piece of white card with brown shades of Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and thought that if I stamped the tree rings/bark image (from the Back to Nature Backgrounds For The Love of Stamps set) over it ...

Well done... butterflies on striped background black 6" card Hi Craft addicts! I hope you all had a great weekend - it is a bit too stuffy and hot for me but shouldn't complain! - Here my latest handmade card for #MonochromeMonday and I have made it using Paper Boutique dies and Hunkydory backing papers... How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the largest mat layer out of the teal and white striped paper (from Hunkydory) and then the butterfly frame from the reverse side of the same paper using The Paper Boutique Forever Friends Doily Die. I then stuck them together using PVA glue. I also cut out the smaller circle within the set, this time in white card. I already had a circle frame previously cut out in black card and I used that to separate the background layers from the white circle. I had also created the Well Done sentiment topper using teal self adhesive paper on black card and so I decided to add that to the centre of the card using some foam pa...
