Sometimes...memory flower panel 7x5in black pearlescent card

Sometimes...memory flower panel 7x5in black pearlescent card Hi Craft addicts! I thought I would use one of Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me flower stamps to make this 7" x 5" card.. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the "A Miracle" Deco plate in white card (it cuts the whole panel out) and then stamped the co-ordinating detail design onto it using Gina K Amalgam ink.  I used the Eureka 101 to make sure that it was exactly in the right place. I then glued the detail panel on to the diecut using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I used Crafter's Companion Tri-blenders to colour the flowers/leaves in (Purple Blend - P2,3 and 4 and Light Green Blend - LG1,3 and 5). I stamped out the sentiment onto a scrap piece of white card using Gina K Amalgam Black ink and then cut it out in a cloud shape and edged it with a purple alcohol marker (Spectrum Noir chisel edge). I then attached the whole panel on to the front of a 7" x 5" black ...

Have an amazing birthday floral 7x5 white card....

Have an amazing birthday floral 7x5 white card.... Hi Craft addicts! I had great fun making this bright and cheerful card using dies and stamps and I hope you like it! How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the main floral frame (from Tattered Lace) in a dark teal blue paper and then the main panel again on white card. I stuck the blue one on top of the latter only using the narrow edge to glue it. I then stuck the whole panel on to the front of a 7" x 5" white card using Collall All Purpose Glue as it allows me a bit of wiggle time.. I then used the large flower stamp (from one of Toni Darroch's collection from Stamps by Me) and stamped it with black Gina K Amalgam ink on to some white card. I used Crafter's Companion Tri-blenders (Purple marker) to colour the flowers in and then one of the green ones to colour the stalks. I cut it out leaving a narrow white border around it and glued it to the left hand side of the card. I also used a torn ...

Sending lots of love flower 7x5" card - Day 254 of my 365 day challenge

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...

Friendship and flowers flower shaped card - Day 27 of my 365 day challenge

Friendship and flowers flower shaped card  Day 27 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I have been trying to work out how to use the flower shaped cards I have and thought that this Wreath style stamp would work well with it and so used some bright inks along with this wood style card from Kanban to make it. How I made this card:- I first of all stamped the leaf in bright green ink (Altenew) in the middle of the card using the petals as a guide. I then used the blue ink to add the flowers on the outside of the leaves, again following the petals as a guide. I cut out the larger circle using a Tattered Lace die out of the wood grain effect cardstock from Kanban and then a smaller one out from white card again using a Tattered Lace die. I had a "wreath" style stamp which I saw fitted this circle and so stamped it out using the bright green ink which I had used for the leaves. I then used the rose stamp and alternately used Red and orange distress inks to ...

Hello Floral 7x5in card hand coloured - Day 1 of my 365 day challenge

Hello Floral 7x5in card hand coloured  Hi all you craft addicts out there! So I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and will have an even better New Year! I have decided to once again do one craft item a day challenge and will start with this very simple but stylish "Hello" 7" x 5" card. How I made this card.... The main focal point is one of the Synergy dies from Stamps by Me which cuts in the cardstock so I used a piece of black card approximately 9x13cm and cut the flowers out and then added it so some white card. I then coloured the flowers using Zig Clean Colour pens (yellows, oranges, pinks, purples and green shades) and a water brush to add some shading - you could use alcohol markers or pencils if you like! Once dry, I then edged the card using a purple alcohol marker and stuck it to the centre of a 7" x 5" card. I also used some Peel off stickers to add a different feeling to it and then finally stamped the "Hello...

Live - Art Deco flower on Art Deco Frame - 7x5in card

Live - Art Deco flower on Art Deco Frame - 7x5in card Hi Craft addicts! I recently got the Art Deco dies from Tattered Lace and so have made this 7" x 5" card using the frame set and the Iris flower in the same collection. I also used some Mirri card and a Tonic Studio sentiment. How I made this card:- I took the larger of the 2 Tattered Lace Art Deco Frame dies and cut it out in Mirri card - it looks silver but it has a slight bluish tinge to it which makes it more interesting. I then repeated the process using the smaller frame but this time using red cardstock. I glued both of them to a piece of Lynda Chapman's black card and cut round the frame and then added it to the front of a 7" x 5" card (from Hunkydory). I also cut out the Tattered Lace Art Deco Classic Iris in the same silvery Mirri card and glued it to the centre of the card. I used one of the smaller panels left from the frame and glued the Tonic Studios "Live" sentiment t...

Just for you C6 cream Flower and hearts card

Just for you C6 cream Flower and hearts card Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a quick and easy card using some die cuts and peel offs to make a fun card you would be pleased to give anyone. How I made this card:- I used a scoring board to score vertical lines every 1/2" on the right hand side of the card and then cut it leaving only the last 3 on the front (it also means you can see the inside of the card). I then cut a panel of "Red and white" dotty paper which measures 6x12.5cm approximately) and then cut out a square scalloped edged aperture using a die. Once I was happy with the shape, I then glued it to the front of the card (allowing for the scored part of the card). I also cut out the "Flower" Tattered Lace die in black cardstock and glued it in the middle of the space left by the aperture. I also added some twine to underneath the flower to look like a stem. I added two rows of "black and gold" peel off stickers to the ed...

Sending sunshine your way - leaves on squares 6" square card...  Day 318 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a cheerful 6" card made using squares cut from a punch, some leaves from Tattered Lace and a scoring tool. How I made this card:- I first of all scored the bottom half of a 6" white card (from the inside so the outside was raised) using my Scor-pal - the scores are every 1/2" both vertically and horizontally. I then used some "Green - G01 " ink (from Generation INX Stamps By Me) to highlight the panel. I then cut out x6 squares (approx 2") in "Yellowy Green" and "Black" card with a scalloped edged punch (from Woodware) and placed them in 2 rows alternating the colours. I cut out the "leaves" and "flower" which I think are from Tattered Lace in matching "Green" cardstock but did colour the flower slightly to add a bit more dimension to it. Using Cosm...
