For my Father

Another Fathers Day, another card to make. This one is not an ordinary one. It is for my dear father who is actually all in DIY and  very craftful with his tools. This SWALK image is a little, but a very powerful statement which will make every father smile.

To make this card you'll need:
  • SWALK stamp from Crafters Companion
  • Promarkers
  • Designer paper.

A Stationary Set


Crafter's Companion's  new boards with the construction DVD are fantastic. There is no thing that you cannot make. I started playing and the results of the play were this lovely stationary box, with an easy notelet and an easel card.


Once everything constructed, it was easy to decorate with some designer paper and a stamped image from the latest Crafter's Companion's   HUMPHREY CD and stamps collection.

Fairyopolis - POPPY FAIRY

I was blown away when I saw FAIRYOPOLIS on Create & Craft TV. Magnificent and beautiful. 

This Poppy Fairy captured my imagination with its colour of red. Red is my favourite colour. It didn't take me long to print a sheet of beautiful script  backing paper on my modest inkjet printer and a decoupage Poppy Fairy image. 
After having cut out everything, I distressed the paper and  free hand cut  swirls; and glued everything on my square card (square cards are my weakness).
The image was embelished with three pink roses previously distressed with aged mahogony ink.

To conclude with:
Ingridients:
Fairyopolis CD from Crafter's Companion
Tim Holtz's Tea Dye, Peeled Paint and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks
Embelishments: Roses
 





Pets and Bags

I am not a great fashionista, but couldn't resist these lovely pets in nice bags. These stamps come from  one of the latest collections from Design Objectives: PAMPERED PETS.


Both  are very affordable and gave me an enormous pleasure to work with and make nice little cards. DO Crafts products were used entirely through both of the little projects with the exeption of   Promarkers used for colouring.


Blue Lady and Golden Boy share the same principles of card making. After I have stamped the images, coloured them with Promarkers, and  glittered  and mounted them on the square cards layered with different papers.The final touches were some buttons, a flower and a ladybird.

Kiss

Playing with Crafter's Companion SWALK  new collection is fantastic. It is so beautiful to work with them.
My favourite is the KISS stamp plate.It was not difficult to work with it.

Make a gate fold card ( using your Ultimate Pro or whatever you have) and stamp over the folds. Colour the images with Promarkers and decorate with papers inside and outside the card. Punch some paper flowers, edge them with some pink ink. Glue them on the folds which can also be decorated with some green gems too.

Stamp the image once again. Colour it,  cut it out with your Cuttlebug and stick it inside after it has been edged with some pink in. The card is ready.
Ingridients:
  • Cardstock
  • UltimatePro
  • Designer papers or SWALK CDs
  • Promarkers
  • Pink ink
  • Cuttlebug
