Cut it Out

Welcome to my new follower WILMA
My card today was made using a cut it out idea just using part of the image sort of take on the spotlight technique.
The background was made with distress ink and an Artisan Design stencil-the Delicious Doodles Digital image(sorry no longer available) was coloured with promarkers and a white gel pen then a curved strip cut out and a stamped sentiment.

Art Heart

Morning and I have a mixed media project today -I made this for my daughters birthday rather than a card and as she is into painting I used a (£1)wooden heart from The Works covered with TH paper,stencilled with slap it on through a creative expressions stencil and all stamps--coloured with promarkers- and sentiments are from IndigoBlu and I added an old paint brush from my stash and a little metal snail charm as she has an African land snail as a pet!

Vintage Birthday

Right last card CAS now back to full on lol.I made this card for my sons 50th next Saturday but blogging it early as wanted to catch a couple of challenges and he doesn't follow my blog anyway -how rude!!!As long as I don't paste it on FB lol
I made a pop-up or Ta-Da card prefer the Ta-Da myself sounds more impressive.
The papers are from TH and K&C(only about 10-15yrs old!)Embossing folders from TH-recycled corrugated cardboard packaging-two tags(not sure of origin)all the stamped images are from an A4 size set of stamps free with Creative Stamper craft mag last year-everything edged with distress ink-Screw head brads from stash.

Mini Accordion Book

Morning and I have been following Tracy Evans live FB demos practically every day and following one of them I made a mini accordion book using the needlebook die from Eileen Hull for the cover-Tracy was selling these aready cut and we made the pages to fit inside.
The covers measure 3-1/2" x 2" and the inside pages were made using papers cut to 10"x 3-1/2" cut two score at every 2" and glue together to make one long continuous accordion-cutting off two sections for the covers,then 20 smaller pieces to decorate the pages.

The cover was covered in distress oxide and all the smaller pieces were smooshed with oxides hickory smoke and fossilised amber.Then I used stamps from IndigBlu-Woodware-Bee Crafty-Artistic Stamper-Altenew-Inkylicious-Docrafts and Rubber Dance plus quite a few craft mag freebies and a stamp from Graphicus which was informed today they have been closed for 15-20years!Tim Holtz stencil and a dotty texture stamp-some overstamping with oxides and paper piecing with book pages and an added postage stamp-really enjoyed making this and will definitely make another one in different colours.I added a piece of thin elstic twine and a metal key for closure.
