Double Frame Birthday

This birthday card uses a white die cut circle and a stamped flower image from my 'I'll use it one day' box.

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white matt card blank
     Altenew 'Whimsical Flower Arrangement' and Clearly Besotted 'Modern Calligraphy' stamps and coordinating dies
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics
     White matt card
     Wink of Stella

The circle had been die cut with the largest die, so I used the next three sizes to cut two frames, these were attached to the centre of the card blank.  I used brown ink to stamp 'birthday' onto a snippet of white matt card and embossed it with clear embossing powder before cutting it with the coordinating die.  The flowers had already been stamped with brown ink an cut with the coordinating die before being coloured with Copics.  I placed the card blank into my MISTI and placed both the flowers and 'birthday' onto the card so I could see where to place 'happy'.  I removed the die cuts and embossed happy with brown ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I attached the flowers and 'birthday' with foam tape and finished by highlighting the flowers with a Wink of Stella.

Home Sweet Home

I made this card for our new neighbours and have used a lovely design by Durene Jones, using a free chart on her Facebook page.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     Durene Jones 'Home Sweet Home' chart
     14 count white aida
     DMC threads
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Snippet of white linen card

After stitching the design I set it aside to make the frame for the card blank.  I trimmed a snippet of white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the largest stitched circle from the centre.  I trimmed the fabric so it was a little smaller than the frame and attached it with strong tape.  The panel was then attached to the centre of the card blank.

Birthday Butterfly

I've not had much crafting time lately, mainly due to visits to our mothers and medical appointments, which has been very tiring.  However, I've emptied my 'I'll use it one day' drawer and decided to use all the oddments so I can empty the drawer.  This card uses an Ink & Flip butterfly and a die cut sentiment.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     Uniko 'Ink & Flip Geometric Butterfly' layering stencil
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' and Creative Expressions 'Mini Expressions - Stacked Happy Birthday' dies
     Brilliance Pearlescent Olive and Pearlescent Purple inks
     Snippets of dark purple pearlescent card, white linen card and white matt card

I die cut a stitched square from a snippet of white linen card, layered it onto a slightly larger square of purple pearlescent card and attached it to the card blank.  I die cut 'Happy Birthday' from purple card and attached it to the lower corner of the panel.  I used purple ink to stencil the butterfly onto a snippet of white matt card before cleaning the stencil, flipping it and stencilling it again with olive ink.  I fussy cut the butterfly and attached it to the front of the card.

Happy Birthday Mum

I made this card for Steve's mother using a lovely Uniko stamp and die set.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 7" white matt card blank
     Papercraft Society Uniko 'Floral Butterfly' stamp and coordinating die
     Clearly Besotted 'Happy Birthday All' stamps
     My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' die
     Versafine Imperial Purple and Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - G02, RV02, V04, Y08, Y35, YG03, YG23, YR62
     Wild Rose Studio 'Butterfly Garden' paper
     Green textured card and white matt card
     Wink of Stella

I layered the paper onto green textured card and attached it to the front of the card blank.  I used purple ink to stamp the butterfly and sentiment, but as the ink was too bright I overstamped it with brown ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I die cut the butterfly with the coordinating die and coloured it with Copics to highlight the colours in the backing paper.  The sentiment was cut with a fishtail flag die which I shortened so it was the right size for the sentiment.  This was layered onto green textured card and trimmed before being attached to the lower edge of the card.   I attached the butterfly along the centre of its body and highlighted it with a Wink of Stella.

More Than One Die Cut

I was pleased when my To a Deer Friend card was a winner of the Cut It Up 'Emboss It' challenge and the team invited me to a Guest Designer on a future challenge.  I chose the 'More Than One Die Cut' theme and have made a Christmas card which uses four dies.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white hammer card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, Memory Box 'Traditional Ornament', 'Lydia Ornament' & 'Crisp Bows' dies
     Snippets of gold mirri card, blue and gold marbled paper and white hammer card

I die cut a stitched rectangle from white hammer card and then die cut the Traditional Ornament from the lower edge before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the Traditional Ornament from a snippet of blue and gold marbled paper and inlaid it into the front of the card.  I die cut the Lydia Ornament from gold mirri card and used my tan embossing mat to emboss the design on the bauble, this was attached to the ornament with Artist Tac.  I die cut a Crisp Bow from gold mirri card, snipped the tail so it fit inside the panel and attached it to the top of the ornament.

Red Squirrel Cross Stitch

The current As You Like It Challenge is 'Favourite Wild Animal' and squirrels are one of my favourite animals as they are so funny to watch.  I was overjoyed to see a red squirrel on our visit to Angelsey last year and a friend bought me this lovely cross stitch kit so I could stitch my own red squirrel.  After completing the stitching I decided to make it into a card to give to my friend and share the red squirrel joy!

To make this card I used:

     5" x 5" white matt card blank
     Heritage Crafts 'Little Friends - Red Squirrel' kit
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Snippet of brown textured card

After stitching the red squirrel I set it aside to make the frame.  I trimmed a piece of  brown textured card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut a stitched circle from the centre.  I trimmed the fabric and used extra strong tape to attach the stitching behind the frame and then to attach the panel to the front of the card blank.

I am entering the following challenges:

August Rudolph Day

I've had a little crafting time this morning so have made this stamped card for the August Rudolph Day challenge (stamping is my RD theme this year).  This card uses another of my spare stamped images from my oddments box.

     Copics - C-1, E21, E33 & RV06 & V17
     White Fun Flock
     Snippets of white matt card and cerise mirri card 

I placed the white card into my MISTI and used black ink to stamp the birds and sentiment before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I then used the largest stitched die to cut the panel.  I used Copics to colour the image - E21 and E33 for the birds, RV06 and V17 for the hats and C-1 to ground the image.  I layered the panel onto a snippet of cerise mirri card and then attached the panel to the front of the card.  To finish I added white Fun Flock to the hat band and pompom.

Flower Power Thank You

I made a quick 'Thank You' card this afternoon with lots stamped images from my oddments drawer.  Whenever I made a card I stamp more images and sentiments than I need (in case I make a mess of one) and anything that's unused goes in the drawer - which is now getting full and is in need of emptying!

To make this card I used:
     4" x 4" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Flower Power #5' stamps and coordinating dies
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Habanero, Imperial Purple and Olympia Green
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - Y38 & YG11
     Snippets of white matt card
     Wink of Stella

I used green ink to stamp the leaves and purple ink to stamp the flower onto a snippet of white matt card before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I used Habanero ink to stamp the centre of the flower. but as it wasn't dark enough I used my orange Copic to add more detail.  I then cut the flower and leaves with the coordinating dies.  I used a stitched square die to cut another snippet of white matt card and placed it into my MISTI before laying the flower onto the panel so I could see where to place the sentiment.  I removed the flower, stamped the sentiment with purple ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The panel was attached to the centre of the card blank.  I coloured the leaves with a pale green Copic before attaching them to the card and used a foam pad to attach the flower.  To finish I added a Wink of Stella to the leaves and centre of the flower.

Monochrome Big Birthday Wishes

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes' die

I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was slightly wider than the die and cut the large sentiment from the centre before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I attached a snippet of wood effect paper to a piece of white paper to make it the same thickness as the kraft card, and then die cut 'BIG' from it.  I die cut the rest of the sentiment from white textured  card and inlaid all the pieces.  To finish I trimmed two narrow strips of white textured card and attached them down each side of the sentiment panel.

Thank You

I've not crafted for a while as we've been away for a couple of weeks in Cornwall and then we had an unplanned visit to my mother as she's been unwell.  I did have a little crafting time this afternoon and made this small 'Thank You' card with a Uniko stamp set that I've finally managed to buy as it's been out of stock for a while.

To make this card I used:
     4" x 4" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Flower Power 5' stamps and coordinating dies
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Imperial Purple and Olympia Green ink
     Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade
     Copics V15, Y08 &YG23
     Snippets of white matt card

I used purple ink to stamp the flower onto a snippet of white card and green ink to stamp the leaves. These were embossed with clear embossing powder before being cut with the coordinating dies.  I then stamped the centre of the flower with orange Distress Ink.  I used a purple Copic to colour the flower, yellow to colour the flower centre and green for the leaves.  I die cut a stitched square from a snippet of white card and put it into my MISTI before placing the flower onto the panel so I could see where to position the sentiment stamp.  I removed the flower before stamping the sentiment with purple ink and embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I attached the panel to the centre of the card blank before gluing the leaves to the lower corner of the panel and using a foam pad to attach the flower.

April Rudolph Day

It's time for the fourth Rudolph Day of the year and another Christmas card with a main stamped image (stamping is my RD theme this year).  This card uses one of my favourite Funky Fossil stamps - perfect for masculine Christmas cards.

To make this card I used:

     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - E35
     Gold and silver gel pens
     Snippet of gold foiled kraft card

I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank before attaching it to the front of the card.  I stamped the wreath with brown ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I then used the largest stitched circle die to cut around the image.  I coloured the pine cones with a light brown pen, the letters and berries with a gold gel pen and the snowflakes with a silver gel pen.  I attached the wreath topper to the centre of the card.

Hello

I've followed Jane's Lead at the AAA Cards Challenge to make another note card for my card box - this one uses lots of tiny snippets of textured card 

To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' and Altenew 'Simply Hello' dies
     Snippets of white matt card and Papermania textured card  

I die cut lots of fishtail flags from different colour snippets of textured card using the smallest die.  I attached these to a strip of white card using glue so I had a little 'wriggle room' to line up the strips.  When they had dried I used the largest fishtail flag to cut the edges of the strip.  This panel was then attached to the front of the card blank.  I die cut 'hello' from another snippet of white mat card and attached it to the card using glue for the 'h' and foam pads for the rest of the sentiment so it lay flat across the card.

Ed Hedgehog

I won this cute hedgehog cross stitch kit in a giveaway group and thought it would make a great birthday card for a young member of the family.

     The World of Cross Stitching magazine 'Country Companions - Ed Hedgehog' cross stitch kit
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Woodware Round Corner punch
     Snippet of white linen card

After stitching the design I set it aside and made a frame from a snippet of white linen card.  I trimmed the card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank, rounded the corners and die cut a stitched circle from the centre.  I attached the stitched design behind the aperture and then attached the panel to the front of the card.
