I have completed a few more tractor cards for those that love them.

distress ink to the edges.  Two different

embossing folders used for the background

birds on a wire and grasses.

Xcut Cogs and scalloped square die. Organza ribbon,

kraft card stock and invert punch for corners.

Sentiment from Dufex range.

 

 

 

Kraft Card, LOTV sentiment stamp

Xcut Cogs and scalloped square die.

Digi stamp coloured in with pro markers,

distress ink to the edges.  Tree embossing folder,

organza ribbon and invert punch for corners.

 

 

Same dies used but no embossing on this card.

 

Corn embossing folder used for this.

 

 

This card is a decoupage photo image, adhered

to a large cog die cut by Spellbinders

 

 

I thought I would enter one of these into the new blog http://cardz4guyz.blogspot.co.uk/

Caravan & Ice Cream

 

I just love these past time images by Hunkydory.

 

I have decoupaged the images onto adorable scorable

card stock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get Well Edna

 

This is another commissioned card for a lady who actually

has undergone a heart by pass.

 

This is an A5 card covered in backing papers from craft

stash.  I have used a 'House Mouse' Image decoupaged.

 

Marianne boarder die with glitter ribbon threaded through

and the ends cut like fish tails to stop fraying.

 

 

 

 

The flourishes are from Sizzix die range.  The flower is

cut from felt using Xcut flower dies, heated with a heat gun

to stop fraying and held with a pearl brad.

 

 

The image was a close as I had to say get well i.e. this is for someone

with a cold, but will also work for this occasion

 

The sentiment was generated on my computer.

 

Thank you for leaving any comments they are greatly appreciated.

 

Harbour Scene

 

This card is from the Hunkydory Range

'Hobbies & Pasttimes'

 

I have decoupaged the harbour topper.  Cut up the

A4 baking card, so I had the houses only and bowed

this around my decoupage to add depth to the card

 

 

By doing this bowed front it also makes you look into the card

to see all the detail.

 

Very pleased with the outcome!

Tilly Daydream Autumn

Tilly Daydream card kit.

 

I love this card as it is so different, it comes with

the thread, decoupage, sentiment and insert.

I just added some ribbon and bling.

 

 

Leaves cut from the packaging to add to the overall effect.

 

 

 

The insert reflects the shape of the overall image on

the front.

Coast Cycle

 

This card is from the Hunkydory Range

'Hobbies & Pasttimes'

 

I have decoupaged the Coastal scene topper.  Cut up the

A4 baking card, so I had the picket fence only and bowed

this around my decoupage to add depth to the card 

 

 

Hunkydory card is very good quality and I decided to cut

all the space between the picked fence (I must be mad)

by hand using a scalpel, my hand was killing me by the time

I had finished, but I feel the overall effect was well worth it.

 

Sentiment by Craftwork Cards, Ribbon by Papermania.

Baby Boys

I get asked for baby cards and I never seem to have any!

 

These two cards are for boys and they are from the

Forever Friends New Arrival Collection.

 

 

 

 

All I have added to the pack is using punches and dies 

and a couple of brads.

 

 

Thank you for looking and leaving any comments.

Day out at the Beach

Day out at the Beach

 

Here is a card that is very apt at the moment with the hot

weather.

 

This boy is having great fun, but the parents are not

overjoyed! 

 

 

This is from the Great Out Doors CD

 

All images have been decoupaged.

Six Fold Card

 

Six Fold Card using Chronology range - DoCrafts

 

There is a video of me making this card on Creativity TV.

 

This is the card in its folded form, with black organza ribbon

keeping it closed.  Old fashioned balloon decoupage as the

main image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have used Xcut stamp die on cream paper with the cogs

stamp comings off the page in opposing corners.

 

The card is made from one piece of Kraft card 8" x 12"

 

Score at 4" and 8" on 12" length side,

score at 2" and 6" on shorter side.

Cut away where I have placed crosses and

also cut on dashed lines etc.

 



 

Your finished sheet should look as below, ready to decorate.

 

 

I hope this explains the principle well enough for everyone to follow.

 

House Mouse

 

These two house mouse cards were made for commissions.

 

The first one was for a lady who does a lot of

sewing so it was perfect for the occasion.

 

 

 

The image is a house mouse stamp.

Papers are from Papermania.

 

This is a Craftwork 8 x 8" card blank

 

This second card is a decoupaged image.

 



 

I have used several dies from Marianne range.
