  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade mini card (the last one for the moment in my challenge within my 365 day challenge) is this small gift tag or mini card... I first of all cut out two pieces of white card using the Tattered Lace rectangle die. I scored one of them at the top and then added some red liner tape to the top and attached them together making sure that they were matched up. I then used one of Lisa Horton's stencils and coloured the front of it with hybrid inks (mix of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide, Harmony and Nuvo ink pads). I used one of Lisa Horton sticker sentiments (black on white) and attached it to some lilac paper/card, fussy cut around it and then stuck it to some of Lynda Chapman's Black card and fussy cut around that. I used some foam pads to add it to the centre of the card, attaching it at a jaunty angle. So if you think this sounds interesting then why not:- Follow us on Twitter       Like us on Facebook        ...

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest card for my mini challenge within a challenge is this A7 card using dies, stamps and inks...       The card is once again from Hunkydory and I rounded the corners with one of their punches. I then took a piece of purple card/paper and fussy cut it to fit the front of the card and stuck it on the front using a tape pen rather than PVA glue. I used Creative Expressions Pixie powders to create the background by tapping some of their brilliant colours on to some watercolour card and spritzed it with some water and let it dry. Whilst that was happening I die cut the rectangle frame (medium sized one from Tonic Studios) several times in white card and glued them together. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. I stamped out the balloons and bear on to some white cardstock using the Birthday bear boy collection from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection, again using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured them in using the Spectrum Noi...

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest mini challenge is this set of 4 different A7 cards using dies, stamps and hand coloured backgrounds. All the cards are A7  and come with matching envelopes and you can get them from Hunkydory and all the corners have been punched in a variety of ways using a Kit n Caboodle punch (apart from the bottom one which hasn't been) Card 1 (Top left) I cut out the Balloon and rabbit out (Woodland Celebrations dies from Sizzix) using both Lynda Chapman's Black card and Sheena Douglass Willow White card. I added the white part of the balloon to give the impression of a shadow towards the top left using a Tape pen. I had created a background using pastel hybrid inks (Tim Holtz Distress Oxide, Crafter's Companion Harmony and Nuvo ink pads). cut it out using a stitched effect die and stuck a narrow panel to the left hand side of the card and trimmed it to fit. I then added some black dots using a black alcohol marker. I glued the balloon, rabbit and...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade cards are a set of 3 small cards that I have made for a challenge within my 365 day challenge. The cards are 4" square and come from Hunkydory. I rounded the corners of all of them with their punch. I cut out 3 squares of white card using a variety of edge designs and kept the card within the dies whilst colouring them in using pastel shades of hybrid inks - Crafter's Companion Harmony, Tim Holtz Distress Oxide and Nuvo ink pads. I removed them from the dies and edged the corners with a Black alcohol marker. I had created a variety of backgrounds using both alcohol inks (for the green leaf) and Ink Lily Glimmer pens for the flowers (Lisa Horton I think for the latter and the Crafter's Companion Gemini for the former). I used a Dotty Tape pen (from Crafter's Companion) to attach them to the centre of the die cuts and then added them towards the top of the cards as I wanted to have the sentiments at the bottom. The sentiments...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest card is a part of a challenge within my 365 day challenge and I wondered how detailed I could make this A7 card.... I first of all rounded the corners of the A7 card which I got from Hunkydory using their punch. I then coloured a piece of white stamping card with my blue shades within the InkLily Glimmer pens (though you can't see the shimmer in the picture) and cut it a pin pricked edged rectangle die (think it was either Lisa Horton or Creative Expressions). I edged it with a black alcohol marker and then added it to some green linen effect card (Crafter's Companion or Sizzix) and fussy cut around it to fit the front of the card and then edged it with the black alcohol marker. I had previously cut out the Go Camping outline die from Crafter's Companion in Black card and rather than use it as a Pop up element, I snipped it into the various parts and stuck them on to the card to make a camping scene. I then stamped the Why not? sentiment...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card is one using dies and the waste left over from a die cut to make the background panel... I used a 7" x 5" landscape white card (from Paper Boutique/Creative Crafting World) and rounded the corners with a Hunkydory punch. I then cut out the Into the Woods silhouette die (from Crafter's Companion Pop up collection) using Lynda Chapman's Black card. I had also cut out a scalloped circle in white card (I am not sure which die it is but a lot of Companies produce them) and then coloured a sunrise/sunset background within it using various Hybrid inks. I stamped the sentiment directly on to the image using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I stuck the silhouette panel on to it using PVA glue and a dotty tape pen for the more intricate parts making sure that there is an equal border around it. I had previously used the Lisa Horton Midi Banners Alphabet die to cut some letters out in Lynda Chapman's Black Card and decided that th...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this simple but striking card using just black and white cardstock. I first of all cut two pieces of white card (Sheena Douglass Willow White) using the largest plain die from Tattered Lace Fretwork Poppy Square set and made a tent fold card from them by making a score line at the top of the card using my Hunkydory Adorable Scoreboard. I creased the score line and then added some Red Liner tape to the top bit, having first removed the release backing sheet from it. I matched the edges by butting it against the scoreboard and joined the two together to make the card. I cut out the ornate layer from the same set from Lynda Chapman's Black card and stuck it to the card only gluing the middle part allowing the fretwork edge to remain free. The centre panel is a combination of various circle dies including the Spellbinders Petit Picot Edge one in white. I stuck them all together, slightly offsetting the black layer ...
