I've been wanting a die or dies to add stitched lines to cards for a while. When MFT released the stitched strip die-namics, it looked like just the thing I was after. This card was fun and easy to make. First, I got a piece of A6 sized watercolour card, and die cut the MFT… Continue reading MFT Stitched Strip Die-Namics
I'm joining in with a couple of challenges today - Addicted to CAS, whose code word is 'Inlaid Dies', and the MFT Color Challenge, which has a palette of oranges, blue and grey. I thought I'd use the MFT Delicate Pretty Poppies stamps and die set. I die cut two poppies from a piece of… Continue reading Inlaid Die Challenge
My niece is celebrating her 1st birthday this month. Her mum (my sister) and I created a very special card for her. We wanted the card to feature a fairy surrounded by poppies. My sister sketched out a fun design and then I started work creating the card. Fairy: As I don't have a fairy stamp… Continue reading Poppy Fairy
A slightly different card to share today. I thought I would create a clear embossed background, and this dark grey cardstock is perfect for a sophisticated masculine birthday card. I used an embossing powder tool on the cardstock first, to prepare it for the embossing powder. I chose a striped stamp from the Clearly Besotted… Continue reading Embossed Stripes
I'm following the MFT sketch challenge today. I stamped flowers from the MFT Delicate Pretty Poppies stamp set on to white card and coloured them with promarkers. I then die cut these with the matching dies. Next, I took an A6 piece of card and cut a strip off one edge to make it narrower.… Continue reading Poppies and Sketch Challenge
I'm playing along with the Seven Hills Crafts March challenge today. It's a sketch challenge, which I always enjoy. I thought I'd combine two challenges with one card, so I'm using the colours from the MFT Colour Challenge too, which are greens, yellow and beige. I'll link to both challenge pages at the end of… Continue reading March sketch challenge
I had some die cut flowers and leaves left over from when I made my last 'fall florals' card, so this was a nice quick card to make. How I made this card: I attached a strip of black and white striped paper to the edge of an A6 card base, then added piece of… Continue reading MFT Fall Florals Bouquet
It's such a grey, wet day today, I thought I'd make a bright summery card to lift my mood. How I made this card: On a piece of white watercolour card, I stamped lollipops from the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Once all the images were stamped, I created… Continue reading Birthday Lollipops
I discovered my set of Karisma colouring pencils recently, which I had as a joint present with my sister when we were younger. These pencils are amazing to colour with, very soft and blendable. I thought I'd use them to colour this beautiful fuchsia from Clearly Besotted. How I made this card: I stamped the… Continue reading Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Beautiful Friend Fuchsias
The Beautiful Friends stamp set from Clearly Besotted is a lovely set for colouring in, and I thought I'd try a different colouring technique, combining promarkers and colouring pencils. How I made this card: I stamped the image in pale pink memento dye ink, then adding some base colour with promarkers. I then added detail… Continue reading Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Beautiful Friend Blossom
