Non-Christmas cards

[Kitty Crafts]

Bear with me as I am trying out this thumbnail thing ... so I thought I would try adding a couple of cards that I have made. I always take a pic of each card I do - it is just finding them again when I need them lol !!

[Kitty Crafts]

Well - I seem to have gotten the hang of it now :)

[adele]

these are really great- the one that looks like a book how did you do that one?

[cw18]

Great cards :wub:

Love the Anniversary book -- did you use the Bookatrix board, or are you one of those brave people that does them free-hand ???

[Kel]

fab cards there, thought I'd pop a few on too as I havent got any pics of xmas ones yet :lol:

[Kitty Crafts]

Hi all - thanks for the comments - yes, it is a bookatrix board (I am not brave enough to do one without lol) I got it a few weeks ago and made quite a few as I loved it ...... but the novelty has worn off a bit now lol ! Saying that, I need to finish my mum's for her birthday (which is today - but not seeing her til later so phew lol) It was MummyGina's idea to cut it out with fancy scissors - so thank you MG xx

Hi all,
Only found this forum today! I do both cards and scrapbooking, so it's great to be able to contribute to both areas.

Here are a couple of cards I made.

The one for my Dad is quite different from the normal ones I make. He's a young 89, so I thought something a bit more contemporary was called for!
The other is for a friends engagement. Looks better in the flesh!

Erika

[Janice]

More beautiful designs!

:D

[Kel]

Fab designs on here, heres a couple more from me lol

[Flo]

lovely to see all the variety...here's a couple of mine to add to the mix...

first one was a birthday card for my dad, who used to work out in Sri Lanka exporting tea - so I couldn't resist this Ceylon Tea stamp!

2nd uses Brilliance resist under a Kaleidacolor rainbow pad in Cappucino colours, and a Fleur de Lys made from hot glue in an art mould and then covered with Perfect Pearls

3rd was a good luck card I made a pile of for various people who were made redundant from my old place of work (before the same thing happened to me), during my stamped acetate flower phase!

4th was another good luck card, for a pal who loves Oriental designs - the embellie at the top is made from a piece of Ranger memory glass

and the last one was for St Paddys day this year - the embellies are art moulds again, this time filled with gold UTEE

[lazykaz]

There are some really lovely cards here. Flo n co, please could you tell me about the brilliance resist as I don't think I've heard of this. Thanks.

[Flo]

it's just using Brilliance inks in light colours (I used Pearlescent Beige and Galaxy Gold on that particular carD) instead of Versamark or a resist ink - you brayer dye ink over the top in the same way as a traditional resist.

Brilliance resist is absolutely beautiful - you can't pick up just how pretty it is from that scan

[Hysteri-CAL]

Keep em coming - they're all fantastic, and its great to see so many different techniques being used. :)

[lazykaz]

Oooohhh thanks, but now I need tips on the technique as I still haven't got a clue!! Sorry I'm being dim! :)

[Kell]

found these today that i made at college years ago. The lizard was somthing I ended up putting on vertually everything that belonged to me. The dots on the fruit were put on by hand using a permanent marker on acetate. This was backed with coloured tissue paper and tracing paper so it apeared as a stained glass window.

Some fab cards, love the cottage - wow, and babyfairy, love that paisley (is it a stamp, or paper, or what?).

[jantyannie]

oh i love that paisley pattern is it a stamp?

[Janice]

More fab designs!!!

[babyfairy]

Thank you. The Paisley Patterns are stamps. I used pens to make them 2 colours. I also stamped the ribbon. I got 2 sheets of them from Ally Pally. I am mad on paisley at the moment.

[Sharon Betts]

What is the make of the stamp babyfairy? I'm really into paisley too and the brocade look that seems to be about at the moment.

[Inky Angel]

Love the paisley card too :)
