Card Holder Tutorial by Merry

2010-12-31T12:42:00.002Z

I've been waiting until after the Christmas rush to post this fab tutorial by Merry, following the tutorial are some of the cards she made to go in the folder and some of the cards made by other DT members in the lead up to Christmas.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my DT members for their hard work at such a busy time of year and to wish them and you all a very peaceful and happy new year. We will be back in January with new designs and a brand new challenge blog - watch out for details coming soon!

Start with A4 sheet of card.

Turn up approx 4cm....allow enough room for cards.

Fold the folder in half and then cut a 'v' shape from the centre on the 4cm section. Also cut a section (half a triangle shape) off each end of the fold up section.

Now punch four holes to thread the ribbon through. Try to punch close to the edges to allow room for the cards to sit in the holder.

Thread the ribbon through.

To make the lace flower, cut a piece of lace approx 20cm long. Then using needle and thread do a running stitch along the edge of the lace that you want as the centre.


Pull the edge tightly to gather up into the flower shape and knot the ends. I then added a medium sized retro flower punch and a bling flower to the centre.

I decorated the front of the folder with my lace flower and the Love Dove image from Cardmadfairy Creations. I coloured the image with my watercolour pencils and added some Kindy Glitz for a bit of sparkle. Stamped up the letters to spell out the word 'Cards'. Mounted the image on card that I have run through my Swiss Dots embossing folder. Finished the front by edging everything with black border stickers from Sticker Store.



The inside of the holder with finished cards using more of Cardmadfairy Creations digital images. Now here are some of the cards Merry filler her folder with, followed some cards by other DT members This one is from Sandra And the next two are Sheila's and finally another from Sandra Thanks so much for visiting today, hope you will all be back to join us when we start our new challenge blog!

Flexibility

2010-12-12T14:13:00.000Z

I'm always excited to see how flexible digi images can be and how a little creative thinking can offer new possibilities. The card below is a great example of how an everyday image can be used for an effective Christmas card - Sheila has done a fabulous job with Flowers 1 and I'm sure you'll agree she's made a gorgeous card for her Mum.

Fabulous new work from the Design Team

2010-12-07T11:58:00.001Z

Well they've been a busy bunch over the last few days - possibly a result of all the
wintry weather we've been experiencing recently -
so I thought I'd post a few of their samples this morning and add some more over the next few days.

We'll start with Merry who has been making loads of new cards (and has even fitted in a tutorial which I will share later in the week) before setting off from her home in Australia for an extended family vacation to Italy, Greece and Egypt - their first time in Europe - have a fantastic holiday Merry & family!

Gorgeous Girls

2010-11-17T18:10:00.000Z

while Canne has also made a stunning card using Christmas Carol combined with Spring Tree - great job girls!

A little break from Christmas

2010-11-16T10:15:00.000Z

I have been seeing hardly anything but Christmas cards for the past few weeks and it's nice to have a little break from that and to show a couple of Design Team samples using other images.

First up, here is a sweet card from Tracey using April who actually works quite well as a wintry image don't you think?

Next here's a fab card wallet project from Merry who has promised to do a little tutorial for this as soon as she has enough time, looking forward to that. She has used the Poppies image beautifully!

Finally for today a male card, Carol Ann has used Joey to make this great easel card for her
nephew's birthday next week.

Hope these inspire you to take a break from the Christmas cards for a little while :o)

More Christmas cards

2010-11-12T09:30:00.000Z

Firstly 3 cards from Merry using Xmas Owl - love the different colourways!

Pop back tomorrow for some non-Christmas card from the design team.

Design Team do Christmas

2010-11-08T19:29:00.000Z

We're back to Christmas again here, the design team have been using old & new holiday
images for their cards and I'm loving the results!

Here we have Winter Jessica, one of the older images, from Sandra, I love how she looks

Sheila

Tracey

Two of my new design team have been playing around with one of my own favourite images Chloe - find her on the sidebar and I love the results! Sheila has made a lovely birthday card and Tracey has used the image to create a birthday wall plaque - after the birthday the tag can be removed and the plaque hung on a wall - I'm sure any little girl would be delighted with this. Great job girls!

Snowbaby brings home the tree

2010-11-03T19:21:00.000Z

Sheila has made this beautiful card using one of my new Christmas Digi Stamps Snowbaby's Tree,

Cards using the latest images

2010-05-08T20:35:00.004+01:00

The first two cards are made using Dotty Blooms

and this is my Cake digi stamp

Flirty Fairy

2010-04-24T10:43:00.003+01:00

I made this card to show off my latest digi stamp - the lovely Flirty Fairy. If you saw my blog entry about Zentangles on my other blog you will see where the inspiration for the digi image came from!
I made the background with distress inks and stamped it with some Blonde Moments hearts and a flourish.
I coloured Flirty with Promarkers with a touch of Stickeles for sparkle. The lovely flowers were recycled from one of my much appreciated birthday cards and the sentiment was from Funky Kits.
I used these challenges for inspiration:
Paperplay Challenges - No patterned paper
Simon Says - Things with wings
Something Completely Different! - H is for: Hearts

Cards as promised

2010-04-22T15:21:00.004+01:00

Here are a couple of the cards I made with the brand new digi stamps Julia and Joey.

I followed a sketch from Creative Inspirations for the card using Joey and also added the tartan ribbon for the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge who wanted a taste of Scotland. Sundays with Crissy wanted a combo so I went for a favourite colour cobo using papers from K&Co Hopscotch.

My second card usus the Julia digi stamp and you can see the details on this one over on my other blog, Jenni's Crafty Journal.

Hope you like the new images!

3 brand new images

2010-04-21T20:42:00.007+01:00

Introducing Flirty Fairy, Julia on her swing and, not forgetting the boys, Joey skateboarding. Sample cards will be added in the morning but the images are now available to buy - you'll find them all on the sidebar. Don't forget, Debbie from my previous post is still free with any purchase until the end of the month!

Free image with every purchase

2010-04-16T11:01:00.002+01:00

I will give away the digi image Debbie used on my last project with every digi purchase from now until the end of April - just make your purchase and pay for it using Paypal and I will include Debbie when I email your image to you.

It's been a while!

2010-04-16T10:05:00.006+01:00

I've been neglecting this blog lately and so I had to make a card to show that I'm still around and haven't dropped off the face of the earth just yet! Of course if you follow my other blog you'll probably already know that life has been a bit hectic recently, however I have a card to share today which uses Debbie, one of my favourite digi stamps.
I looked around for a suitable challenge or two and found the Kaboodle Doodles challenge was perfect as they were looking for a Digi Girl and Digital Tuesday's challenge was to paperpiece with digi image so here we are:

Debbie has been coloured with Promarkers and paper-pieced with two patterned papers, I die cut one of the patterned papers (which came from K&Co Hopscotch) and added some fabric flowers and brads to match. The sentiment was a die cut, threaded with some organza ribbon, finished with a bow and stamped with a Hero Arts stamp. The lace was re-cycled from another card.

I will give away the digi image Debbie used on this project with every digi purchase from now until the end of April - just make your purchase and pay for it using Paypal and I will include Debbie when I email your image to you.

The card also fits the challenges:
Cupcake Craft - Childhood Memories (I used to love skipping)
Pink Elephant - 1 image, 2 dies, 3 embellishments
Our Creative Corner - Bows

Digi stamps 2 for the price of 1 - all weekend!

2010-03-19T22:23:00.000Z

Yes that's right it's two for the price of one all weekend here at Cardmadfairy's Creations, for every digi stamp that you buy for only 99p you will be able to choose another - totally free of charge - and if you buy 3 you will get six images for only £2.97 - what a bargain!!
Go and have a look at all the great images there are over there. Just add the items you want to pay for to your Paypal basket and when you complete the payment process just add the free images you would like in the comments window - easy! If you complete the process and forget to add the free images you want just email me to let me know your preferred free images and I will send them to you.

All dressed up

2010-03-16T08:24:00.004Z

As promised here is a card made with my latest digi stamp All Dressed Up. I used a green colour scheme which is common to various challenges this week and followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers to come up with this card. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out and hope you like the new image.

I'm also entering the card for the challenges at:
Stamp Something - Cream and Green
Raise the Bar - Go Green
Fussy & Fancy - Green
Cupcake Craft - Going Green
Digital Tuesday - Lots of Green

New image - All dressed up

2010-03-15T22:26:00.003Z

This is my newest digi stamp - All dressed up along with a sneak peek at a sample card coming tomorrow.

Five challenges

2010-03-13T19:13:00.006Z

I made this card yesterday with 5 challenges in mind - see which ones at the end of the post. I used K&Co backing paper, my own digi stamp Rosie coloured with Promarkers, Prima flowers, recycled petticoat lace (had just enough left over from another project), a fancy button from who knows where and a sentiment from Woodware. The butterflies are peel-offs - something I very rarely use but these ones are really pretty mounted on acetate with little half pearls added for the heads.

The challenges I'm entering it for are-
Charisma Cardz - butterflies
Kaboodle Doodles - Happy Birthday
Cute Card Thursday - Celebrations
and
Spoonful of Sugar - use something recycled

I also intended to enter it into the Lala Land challenge but hadn't taken note of the fact that I had to use one of their own images so I've disqualified myself from that one :(

Great Job!

2010-03-11T09:15:00.004Z

I wanted to show you the great job my sister Gillian made of this card using my digi stamp Lucy's Ted. She made the card for our aunt's birthday which is tomorrow and I just love how she's coloured the image and added the freckles!

Going girly

2010-03-09T08:49:00.004Z

Made a new card today for the Stamp Something challenge whose challenge this week is Something Girly. I used my Sally digi stamp and coloured her up in girly pink with my Promarkers. I cut a circle with my nestabilities and tried a new technique I saw the other day which involved using a Stampin Up border punch to cut a long strip (about 12'5") which I then snipped at intervals to make it fit around my circle to create a border. You will find a tutorial for this over here on the Simon Says Stamp blog. I then decorated the card with ribbon, a fabric flower, a pin, buttons, dewdrops and diamontes. My backing paper is from Papermania.

Also entering the challenges below:
Saturday Spotlight - Friendship
Paperplay - Just Because
Papertake Weekly - Buttons, bows, brads & bling (might actually be too late for this one!)
Simon Says - Girly

Taste of the Orient

2010-03-01T12:11:00.004Z

I've just had enough time this morning to make a card to show off my Oriental Fairy digi stamp. I really need to get on with the 200 Prom Invitations I'm in the middle of so this is just a quick post. I've coloured the image with Promarkers and used Star Dust Stickles for her wings. The blossom stamp in the background is by Woodware.
I'm entering the card for the Corrosive Challenge 53 as their theme is Asian this week and for the Sophisticat challenge whose theme is Oriental.

One for the Boys

2010-02-26T09:01:00.005Z

I have made this card using one of my latest digi stamps for this week's Quixotic Challenge, which is One for the Boys. The new image Kevin was perfect for this one, I printed out the image and waited for a few hours to be sure that the ink was dry enough to use my Promarkers to colour Kevin. I designed the layout to follow the sketch from Papertake Weekly and when the image was coloured I distressed the edges of the card and some backing card, tore then inked the edges of the green card . The various layers of distressed card were then mounted on top of my backing paper from K&Co. I finished it all of with Studio G sentiment stamps, a couple of brads and some flat backed pearls which I coloured with a Promarker to match the colour scheme.

The card is entered for the following challenges:
Quixotic Challenges - One for the Boys
Saturday Spotlight - Mess Around, distressing, tearing

I have really enjoyed taking part in the OWOH event this year for the first time - I will definitely be back next year for another magical trip around the blogosphere!

April

2010-02-07T14:38:00.003Z

Here is my first card made using one of my
new images - April, hope you like it!

My sister Gillian has just started a blog and the first card she has posted was for my niece Rachael whose birthday was on Wednesday. It was made with a combo of two of my digi stamps - I think it's just great and I'm sure
Rachael was delighted with it.

I love to see any cards made using my images so please send me links to
your projects so I can come and tell you how great they are!

Winter Wonderland Blog Hop

2010-02-03T19:09:00.003Z

I made this card yesterday for the Winter Wonderland Blog hop and challenge which finishes on Saturday Feb 6th, their theme is Candy Cane Red & White.
I didn't have much in the way of candy canes so I stamped some to create a backing paper (although this is not a necessity for the challenge). I used my own digi stamp Sweet Snowbaby for the image and coloured it with promarkers and finished it off with some glitter on the furry cuffs. I think the sentiment is from Elzybelles although I couldn't find it in their current selection.The ribbon I got at Tesco amongst the Christmas wrapping!

I'm on a Magic Carpet Ride - Join me?

2010-01-27T21:54:00.007Z

The One World One Heart event has been organised by Lisa who says:

WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE HEART?

I created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.

I decided to take part because, although I have made some great new friends through blogging and sharing my artwork, there is such a huge world out there and I love looking through blogs and websites for inspiration so I want many, many more new friends to visit!

I have made this little wall plaque using one of my digi stamps and would love to give it away if anyone would like to have it. All you have to do is leave me a message and I will come to your blog for a browse around.

This blog has only been going for a few months but I also have another one over here if you fancy a look!

The Magic Carpet lands on February 15th and I will announce my winner on that day.

Giveaway now closed - I will make my winner announcement later this afternoon. Thanks so much for all the lovely visitors and messages I've had fun reading them all and making return visits to all of your blogs!

Sweetheart Fairy

2010-01-23T10:48:00.003Z

I used my digi stamp Sweetheart Fairy to make this Valentine's card for 3 challenges:
My Time to Craft - Damask Delights
Cute Card Thursday - Fairy Fantastic
Moving Along with the Times - Sketch

I coloured her with watercolour pencils and added some Glamour Dust on her wings. The backing papers are from Pink Petticoat and the sentiment was a rubdown which came free with a craft magazine last year.

Featuring Lovedove

2010-01-21T09:44:00.002Z

As promised here is Lovedove, my newest digi stamp made into a card.

I followed a sketch from the Pink Elephant challenge and used backing papers from K&Co, a Martha Stewart punch for the borders and a Nellie Snellen die for the oval ,

I am entering the card for the following challenges:
Pink Elephant challenge - Sketch
Creative Card Crew - Punch It
Simon Says Stamp - Punch It
and
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Red

Another new Valentine's digi stamp

2010-01-20T18:47:00.003Z

This is Lovedove -
pop back tomorrow to see a card featuring him :o)

Perfect for St Valentines Day

2010-01-19T11:47:00.003Z

I think the Lovebirds digi stamp is great for Valentines cards, what do you think?

Here is Morris - he's purrfect!

2010-01-18T10:01:00.003Z

My latest digi stamps are all about Morris - named by my youngest son Evan. Like most happy cats he loves to sleep, eat and watch the world go by. For Morris life is just purrfect!

Rosie and the babies

2010-01-15T09:31:00.001Z

Three cards made as examples of how the digi stamps can be used.

New Images

2010-01-11T09:44:00.001Z

In case you've not been around here for a while and have missed the fact that I have added a bunch of images here are a few of the exciting new digi stamps on offer at Cardmadfairy's Creations.........

each image can be downloaded, flipped, resized and used as often as you like all for only 99p per image!

All distressed

2010-01-10T16:57:00.000Z

Creative Inspirations challenge this week is Distressing so I used my latest new digi stamp Rosie and made this card. I coloured the image with Promarkers and inked the edge of the card with Distress Ink, the backing papers are a mix of Basic Grey and another make which I don't have the name of any more. The sentiment is from Studio G and the paper flowers were part of a great prize I won in a Christmas Cardmaking competition on Jasmines Cards and Crafts just before Christmas!

I followed a sketch from Sketch Saturday and am entering the card for two more challenges:
Creative Card Crew - Distressing
and
My Time to Craft - Blue & Brown

Jessica wraps up!

2010-01-08T14:59:00.000Z

Fellow Trimcrafter Jo (Trimgym) suggested that my Jessica image might be a wee bit cold in these arctic temperatures we've been having. So I thought I'd do another version of Jessica this time in her winter clothes. This is a card I've just made using the image.

Here are some other cards using new images:

Debbie

Chickadees

Sally (who might also be feeling the cold!)

Here's Jessica

2010-01-06T11:13:00.000Z

I was looking around for a challenge to use my new Jessica image and found this one over at Crafts 4 Eternity, the challenge is a recipe: follow a sketch, use colours blue & white and add real or faux stitching. This is the sketch -

and here is my card, I coloured the image with Promarkers.

Also going to enter it for Fab 'n' Funky
whose theme is Anything you want for any occasion

Lovebirds

2010-01-04T16:47:00.000Z

Did this card for the new sketch challenge forum Sketches 4 You, if you enjoy using sketches as inspiration for your cardmaking go and check it out here.

Another challenge sponsored by Cardmadfairy.

2009-11-22T20:40:00.000Z

Stamp Something's challenge this week is being sponsored by two Digital Stamp suppliers, one is Soft Pencil and the other is me. To be in with the chance of winning a whole set of my Christmas images or two of my clear stamps, or from Soft Pencil a $15 voucher for their Etsy shop, all we are asking for is a thank you card and because of Thanksgiving you have two weeks to make it!

This is my DT card for the challenge which I've made using Sweetheart Fairy - remember this image is free with any purchase but the offer ends on my Son's birthday on Tuesday.

Trimcraft challenge

2009-11-11T09:27:00.000Z

Trimcraft has a challenge running at the moment to encourage us all to get on with our Christmas cardmaking, each week has a different theme and this week's one is a recipe:

One red element - anything goes.
Some glitter - any colour
One ribbon - any colour

I have made this card accordingly! I have used Tina's first Nativity as my image and coloured her with waterclour pencils and Twinkling H2o's with a touch of glitter on the wings and dress from Sakura Pens. I then added ultra fine glitter to her furry hem and cuffs. I distressed the edge of the card and mounted the image on green card also with distressed edges. The background paper was from a Let's make Cards for Christmas CD free from a recent Crafts Beautiful magazine. I finished it off with a sentiment printed from the computer and some ribbon and a brad from my stash.

Creative Inspirations challenge 20

2009-11-02T09:50:00.000Z

I am sponsoring the Creative Inspirations challenge this week and this is the card I have created, the theme is Doodling so I have added some fairy lights along the top of the card and have also doodled around the image. Hope you like the card and will join in with the challenge for your chance to win 4 of my Christmas Digi Stamps!

Cosy Snowman

2009-09-28T13:26:00.000+01:00

They're not quite flying off the shelf but I'm very happy with how sales are going so far, thanks so much to those of you have bought the stamps or digi stamps so far!

Just wanted to clarify something this morning - I'm not really a huge expert with technology and although I've managed to work out how to sell direct from my blog I haven't yet discovered how to do automatic downloads for the digi stamps. Therefore, if you purchase one of the images, as soon as I see I have received a Paypal payment I will send an email with the image/s attached. As far as the Stamps are concerned, they are packed as soon as I receive the payment and posted within 24 hours. I hope that answers any questions but if not please contact me at the address on my profile. Also please check out the bottom of the page for my Angel Policy.

Hope you like today's card, thanks for dropping by!

The gang's all here
