Today’s make...

A card made using the free gifts that came with Papercraft Essentials magazine issue 170.

These were a cut and emboss folder and matching butterfly detail stamp as well as a few sentiments...however I did not use the sentiments on this card!

I started out by cutting the white layer completely with the folder...I then cut another butterfly by placing a piece of cardstock just over the cutting part of the folder...the next step was to stamp both of the cut out butterflies with the detail stamp...I then searched my stash for a piece of paper that I liked and found this teal coloured patterned piece...next I decided to colour the butterflies in a semi corresponding colour for these I used Spectrum Noir GT1...I also decided to add some glitter glue from Scrappy Cat in light green with rainbow glitter to my butterflies.





The next thing I did was to take a scrap of Centura pearl cardstock in platinum and added this behind the butterflies to hide the colouring bleed from my alcohol marker...as the butterfly will be wings up slightly you would see the bleed through the paper and so I covered it!! 

I then scored both butterflies down the center and then added them to the white layer by putting Colall all purpose glue to either side of my scored line. 

The final step was to stamp out the with love sentiment which is from Sara signature Parisian collection with versafine onyx black which I then fussy cut out and added to a scrap of silver glitter cardstock and then also fussy cut that out too!! And added it the front of my card...

Hope you all enjoy 

xXx

Today’s make Is a card made using product from several different brands... It has a 6 x 6 white card base which has been matted and layered with Tonic Studios Craft Perfect card stock in Aubergine Purple which I gutted using a large square die. The next layer has been embossed using the Dotty Floral folder from Apple Blossoms All Occasion Collection. I used Spectrum Noir marker PL3 to colour the flowers and added Simply Creative 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres. I next cut out the sentiment strip using Apple Blossom’s Spring Occasions set. The next step was to ink the sentiment which I took from Creative Stamps Easter Chicks and Bunnies set (which is where the bunnies came from also). The cute little bunnies have been coloured with Spectrum Noir markers... Left bunny - MB1 and MB2 Right bunny - RB1 and RB2 Both bunnies have AP1 for the insides of the ears and IG2 blended out with the colourless blender marker and these areas have also been covered with a Wink of Stella

 Today I want to share with you this card that I recently made using Time for Tea Designs Pandamodium Party... This is a design that I saw Sam Calcott make and if you would like to try one for yourself then  Click here . I started by taking a piece of patterned paper in this case I used polka dot cardstock from my stash and cut it down to 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch's. Then i flipped it over and marked out 1" and 1 1/2" from both sides top and bottom and joined then up. Next I rotated the \piece and marked out 1" from both sides and joined these up also. Now the fun part make a note of the top and then using a sharp blade cut :0 and I have included this next image to try and help visually describe how! I also followed Sam's tutorial and added to the image where the glue will be added later! Where the cut is, we now need to score a burnish, at 1", 2 1/2" and 4" from the bottom up... Next I took a piece of white cardstock 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inch's and using th
