Say It Loud - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I have a man down today - a cold but he seems to be suffering so a bit of rest and TLC and he'll be fine for Monday hopefully!

This week the Daring Cardmakers would like to see you use words as your focal point - the bolder the better!  I used one of my favourite birthday dies on my card and used the negative to make a shaker.  

The background was one I had in my stash.  It was a mop up from another project I had done and I thought it worked really well with this simple underwater scene.

The little turtle is just so cute and I coloured him up with my chameleon pens and added a party hat from the same set.  To finish I added a speech bubble with a fun sentiment.

You can see lots more inspiration from my fellow DT HERE and I hope you'll join in.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and see you next week,

CrafTangles Super Boy Card and Gift In One

Happy Thursday!

I'm blogging for CrafTangles today using their Super Boys Stamp and Die set.  I decided to make a card with a keepsake.  Both my boys love reading, the eldest often has more than one book on the go at a time!  So, I thought I'd make a bookmark that would slot into the card.

This is the card I made and I have a brief tutorial HERE if you're interested in seeing how I made it.

This is the bookmark that slots into the card:

I really enjoyed making this - the dies made cutting out the images so quick and easy.  I'm going to make a batch over the summer holidays as I'm sure they'll be well received on birthdays.  In fact, I might even get the boys to join me and colour in the images!

Happy Crafting!

Celebrating Father's Day with CrafTangles DT

Happy Tuesday!

I've got my debut post for CrafTangles over on their blog together with a tutorial.

Well, it's not long now until Father's Day and you can never have too many Father's Day cards can you?! I loved the image of the child and father on this stamp set so decided to use it in two different ways.

For the first card, I embossed and inked the stamp giving it a negative effect, using a stencil to add interest.

For the second I went for the vintage look and gave the card a distressed look.

I love how you can give the same stamp a totally different look just by altering colours and products used.

See you again on Friday!
