Making cards magazine freebie stash up 11 cards Sun 17 Feb 19

Hello hello hello,

Today's project is super awesome I bought the Magazine

 

 

 Making Cards and I loved the free stamps, toppers, sentiments and papers so much I decided to make as many cards as I could and so far I've made 11 yay go me lol.

 













I've decided to challenge myself with my project making this year and this was a great way to do it.  I also decided sketches would be a good way to challenge myself too, as they terrify the pants of me lol.

I scanned some of the images into my scan n cut and cut them out, then I stamped and coloured all the images a couple of times with water colours.  I also printed off some sketches and off I went.

I hope you like what I've created as I'm feeling pretty proud of myself now.

Hope you like it

Items Used

White Card
Stampin Up Gray Granite card

Shaped Christmas Shaker card Thur 22 Nov 18

Hi all my crazy crafting buddies

I have a cute Christmas card today.  It's made from some of the gifts I rec'd in a pocket letter swap from the lovely Sue Bishop of Sue Bees.  

I took 2 flower shaped card bases from my stash.  I split one ih half and put acetate on it.  I then added foam tape to it.  I put some matching sequins in the centre of the other card base and lay the acetate piece over the top and pressed.  

I added a holly stamped and cut out image to one side and put my Mr and Mrs Claus on top.  I added my black strip sentiment to finish.

It really was a quick easy card to make and has maximum impact.

Hope you like it
Till next time

Magic slider card using Stampin Up Thur 15 Nov 18

 Hi again folks I'm back lol,

Today I've made a magic slider card using stamps dies and papers.  

I bought a die to make this because I have severe cataracts and it was easier to use.  Fortunately I've had one eye operated on since I made this and it makes crafting so much easier.

There are youtube videos that make this card without the die so remember to search and check them out.

I just loved the fun element of this card so I wanted to make one.

 Items Used to make this were:

Stampin Up Signs of Santa stamps and dies
Signs of Santa Dsp
Poppy Parade card

Other Supplies used

Free papers from a magazine
Kraft Card
Lawn Fawn Magic Slider Card

The whole top section is the Magic slider card dies and it's then mounted on the card base 11 1/2 x 4 1/8 scored at 5 3/4.  The dsp measures 5 1/2 x 3 7/8.

Hope you like it and give it a go
