I loves a bit of swagger

The Swagger paper collection that is. 

And that is exactly what I used for this weeks make for Clare Curd Crafts DT.

The front of my card I folded back on itself and then applied my choice of paper to the front flap and inside the card.

I then worked on the 'topper' of the card, layering papers and inking the edges. 

I cut some banner shapes to match in with the piece I used with the rub on word. The other elements I've used are also from the rub on pack, adhered to card, cut out and mounted onto 3D foam.

Clare has some great new stuff in the shop so why not stop by.

DT thursday

It's Thursday and that means it's my turn over on Clare Curd Crafts

This week I used the Fancy Pants Swagger collection.

the 6x6 paper pad

and 

the rub on collection

This is a wonderful collection, very useful, with some wonderful papers.

I layered up my chosen papers and used a rub on, applied it to piece of contrasting card and cut out and mounted on 3D foam.

Alice in Wonderland

I've recently taken part in a UK based Alice in Wonderland swap, and now that I know my piece has been safely received I thought I would share it with you.

I was thinking more along the lines of Tim Burton rather than Lewis Carrol

Now I don't own any Alice stamps so I have painted or drawn all

the images, the watch is a stamp. The background is done in layers of acrylic paint. 

 I felt the piece needed some dimension so I layered up so hand-cut swirls to frame the piece.

A sunny disposition

Hi, it's Thursday and that means it's my turn to share a little inspiration on Clare Curd Crafts DT blog

I've used the

My Mind's Eye Kate and Co. OXFORD LANE 6 x 6 paper pad

and the clear stamp set that goes with the collection.

I love this collection, so fresh and sunny, and yet suitable for anyone as there is such a wide variety of papers and images in the collection.

I started off by picking a few papers from the pack and cut them into banner shapes.

I them picked out one of the small icon pictures that are included in the pad. I cut it out and mounted it onto a contrast piece of card.

I found my base card to stark against the patterned papers so I took out my beloved Dylusion sprays and added some splashes of colour. 

I also took the little dotty stamp and the flower from the stamp set and added them in a few places.

Then I mounted up  the banners, curling the points a little, and the image, raised on adhesive 3D foam pads.

C.A.S

 

It's my turn over on Clare Curds Craft DT page today and I came up with this very clean and simple, but stylish card.

 

 

I used some Flitter Glu and Mega Flakes, love these products! to create the substrate to cut my die from.

Then layered up my card base and sentiment on white card, keeping everything very clean.

 

 



Just a note

It's my turn over on Clare Curd Crafts today and this is the card I came up with using FlitterGlu and Mega Flakes

 

 

I've kept it very clean and simple, have to say I do like the white space!!



Who doesn't love a saving

It's Thursday and that means it's my turn on the DT blog at Clare Curd Crafts.

 

It was only after I made this card that I realised Clare has put this stamp set and lots more into the 40% sale she has on at the moment

 

The background of the card is brayered with grey ink and over stamped using the small nut & bolt stamp. The motorbike is stamped in grey ink and layered onto black card.

The patterned paper is from the Carta bella well Travelled pad

I cut a couple of cute little banners and attached them.

 

 

A bit of distressing on the edges and this manly card is finished.
