DT: Craftyhazelnuts patterned paper challenge

01 Jan 202101 Jan 2021 Catherine

I’m joining the Craftyhazelnuts patterned paper challenge for another six months and decided this time to do a one sheet wonder each month…. well that’s the plan anyway!

This time I decided to use old SU paper to create all male themed cards and I managed to make 21 cards!

I used the template from Karamiasu.

I used a map based paper and then some text paper as a secondary paper to add background and to stamp some images on it.

Lots of stamps from the Creative Stamping magazine sets and some random Paperartsy and Carrabelle ones too.

Happy crafting!

Cards for the parents… pt 1

08 Jan 2020 Catherine

So about once a year my mum asks for some cards for their stash. Most of the ones she asked for she could just grab from cards already made, but I didn’t have many cards suitable for the men they send cards to… So I had to do my least favourite type of crafting… making “male” themed cards.

Anyways I made them and will share them over the next few weeks with you.

This is the first one. I used the photo paper and distress oxide trick to create a background and then used the Sky’s the Limit stamps to create the focal image and sentiment.

I decided to create interest by splitting the image up and creating the two panels. I think it worked quite well.

Card 1 for a man achieved!

Happy crafting!

Alcohol lift ink experiments

13 Aug 201813 Aug 2018 Catherine

I unearthed the alcohol lift-ink experiments I made a week or so ago and made one into a card.

I love the pattern and details in the panel. I added a few mounts and the sentiment and then added some patterned papers below. The bottom layer I received as a gift in a swap and kept it as it was so pretty and it was calling out to be used for this card. The other I added some stencilling using a stencil brush.

I decided it needed a die cut so used the little hot air balloon and then card candi to finish off.

Happy crafting!

Alphabet ATC 277 – 286

05 Jul 201705 Jul 2017 Catherine

Today I have some ATCs to share today made for a fun swap I am involved in… an alphabet swap! The plan is to make an ATC for each of the letters of the alphabet… or at least as many as I can… this is where I am up to.

A is for aeroplane…

B is for butterfly … (this might look familiar as I actually shared this a few days ago!)

E is for elephant…

F is for flowers…

G is for giraffe…

H is for house….

O is for owl…

P is for puppy…

Q is for queen…

R is for rabbit…

So this is the progress so far… I have a while before I have to finish the rest and I already have another few in progress. Cam imagine that the more unusual letters will make for some challenges!!! So pleased I moved away from being OCD and creating them in order… this is so much more fun doing them a bit at a time.

Will make sure I share the next batch when they are finished.

Happy crafting!
