DIY Wall Art

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week. Since we had the living room decorated a couple of weeks ago, I have been looking for some ideas for art work. I didn't want anything too big and I really wanted to do something myself.

So after trawling Pinterest for a while and making myself a board with all living/dining room ideas on, I finally set to work this weekend and had a go.

I used a magazine freebie feather stamp for this and stamped it with Altenew Dye inks in grey and yellow, and then added the little sentiment underneath.

This was a free text printable that I'd had for some time, so I popped it into my photo editing software and gave it a sun frame and a grey background. Then I printed it as a 7 x 5 photo, and popped it in one of the white frames that I already had.  

This final one was again made with a couple of magazine freebie stamps. This time I stamped the images with Versamark ink and then with dark grey Altenew ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I layered the image with mustard card and used a scrap of leftover wallpaper for the background. (Excuse the chipped frame, didn't realise how badly it stood out until I saw the photo's lol.)

What do you think? I'm quite happy with them, and because they didn't cost me anything but a bit of time, I can easily change them when I get fed up lol 😉.

Hope you have a great week, take care and I'll see you soon.

Friends are gifts

Hello all, apologies for the very late blog today, we are currently decorating and reorganising the house as well as doing the garden and working lol, so sometimes things are a bit late ;o))

Anyway, today's card is very simple. I took a digital image from an old Complete Cardmaking Kit from June 2013 and printed it to fit an 8 x 8 card.

I coloured the image with Copic markers, sticking to a quite neutral palette.

Then I backed it with some cream shiny card and added it to the card blank.

Simple! Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you tomorrow.

Snowflakes are Angel Kisses

Good morning all, hope all is well with you this week. I seem to be the only one around here that isn't coughing and spluttering at the moment. Both Jude and Alan have got bugs, and poor Alan has a chest infection, but that's about as much sympathy as he gets around here lol.

 

Anyway today's card is one that I have made on the digital Craft Artist Software.

  

 

I chose a background and then added elements and a sentiment to it and then sized it for an 8x8 card blank.

 

I printed it on to good quality card and then mounted it to an 8x8 Kraft card.

I finished it off with a generous helping of clear crystal stickles glue on the snowman and snowflakes and the star on top of the tree.

 

What do you think? Hope you like it too.

 

Take care

 

 

With Love

Good morning folks, it's Jen back again today. I'm holding the fort while Jude is on her sick bed! There are so many bugs around at the moment and between the family we seem to be getting them all. So yesterday was Jude's turn. Hopefully she will be feeling better today and will be back to blog again tomorrow.

 

Today's card is one made from my Serif Craft Software again. This time using a bird theme.

 

 

I made up the layout using different elements and then printed them on to good quality cardstock. I printed an extra copy so that I could decoupage a couple of the pieces to give the card some depth.

 

 

I then added it to an A5 card blank and added some flowers and ribbon from the stash.

 

 

 

I kept the sentiment very simple as I was using this as an anniversary card, but it could be used for lots of other occasions, just by changing the sentiment.

 

 

Hope you like it, thanks for calling by.

 

Take care, see you soon.
