Another Bees Wax Card

Here is another card I made using bees wax. The supply list is the same as yesterday.

Bees Wax Art

I thought I ought to dust off my Ranger Melting pot and give it another try. This time instead of experimenting with UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) I thought I would give bees wax a go. I made one heck of a mess, burnt myself quite a lot and shouted at the kids to stay away because mummy would have an accident if they came too close. The backing card is Kraft card stock, the round heart embellishment and the polka dot boarder if from the Adore range from My Mind’s Eye. Somewhere in there I have used a bit of napkin, the rub on is from American Crafts and the lace is from my stash.

Another Cog card

I used the same background cog template as yesterday but just added more stuff today!

Cog Card

The main background for this card was and SGV template downloaded from.http://dan99.blogspot.com/. He has some fantastic ideas!!! I inked the edges with Worn Lipstick Distress ink and put a few feux white stitches here and there, added a few button, a stamped image on some accetate and a few other bits and bobs.

Bashful Blue Thank you card

I have been experimenting with my camera. I have found I have not been able to take a good photo without daylight. These were taken this evening... I think a bit more playing with the settings and I will be there.

Twitter Card Sizzix and Stampin' Up

The bird is a sizzix die. When I showed the card to my other half he asked why I had made a card with the Twitter bird on it... I can see what he means!

Stampin' Up Medallion Stamp card

I stamped the large background medallion stamp in whisper white ink onto chocolate chip card stock and cut out the centre and placed a brad in the middle. I used the 1" circle punch and punched it out of the other bit!

Hug me card

Just a simple card. I love the chocolate chip and the pixie pink together.

Stampin' Up Card Solitude hostess Bundle

A slight variation on the previous two days, a normal gate fold card. I scalloped the edges and the made them meet in the middle with Tempting turquoise card stock. I used the standard index wheel from the hostess Solitude Bundle and ran it down either side using whisper white ink, the little bird also came from the same set.

Stampin'Up Card - Polka Dot

Another card with the same design as yesterday but a differnt colour scheme. This time I used colours from the Bold Bright colour family ( YoYo Yellow and Real Red) I Stamped the front of the card with the background stamp Polka Dot in Whisper white ink. The Stamps come from the set Tart and Tangy. The ribbon is the Real Red 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

Stampin Up folding Card

I used a 12" x 16" piece of Stampin' Up kraft card stock. It was then scored at 4" intervals and half of the end two squares were cut away. I used the jumbo wheel so swirly and covered the card-stock with it using old olive ink. The mat colours are Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I then threaded 40cm of ribbon through so the card could  be closed

Thank You Card

It has been a while!! I got a whole load of great Stampin' Up goodies for Christmas, it has given me a new lease of life. I cut out the Background (old book) using the Album Brackets from Sizzix.... Still waiting for Stampin' up to sort themselves out and bring in the top note die in the UK!!!. Inked the edges using walnut stain distress ink, painted a bit of white gesso over the whole thing and stamped the Medallion stamp (again with the walnut stain distress ink). I then stamped the sentiment using Ruby Red ink from Stampin' up ( stamp came from the Say it with scallops set) and used the square scallop to punch it out. Stuck it to a 5x5 cream card, tied a big red satin knot and it was done!!!

Thank You Card

The pink background is core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock, I sanded the edges to reveal to coordinating colour. The green paper in BASIC GREY two scoops, flowers are PRIMA and I added a bit of sparkle with some Cotton Candy STICKLES. The Thank You sentiment is from Heidi Swapp. Lace is from my local fabric shop.

Tilda with hearts card

Such a cute Tilda! She was coloued using water resistant pencils and Sansodor which is blended with a - not sure what they are called basically it is a cardboard tube which soaks up the Sansodor and the blends the pencils.

Party Tilda hanging card

I used my cricut to cut out the shape of the card<Accnt14s from the Accent Essential cartridge. Cut out some scalloped circles using nestabilities and placed Tilda on top.

Celebrate Card

This is another card along the same lines of one I made the other day. The flower is from a fake flower which has been pulled apart and then I stamped and embossed it.
