Artist Trading Card Daily – 51

February 20, 2015March 11, 2015 John - Gentleman Crafter24 Comments

Soooo, I lost enough internet to keep blogging my daily ATCs but now I’m back! I’ll be posting a few singles over the next few days and will then try and post two per day over the next couple of weeks until I have caught up – so don’t forget to check your inboxes!

(I’ll be backdating these too so that they fit in chronologically with the rest – so it might seem weird for a bit while I catch up).

Today’s ATC features something that has been lacking of late and was made to remind everyone of what we all need in life!

Artist Trading Card Daily – 44

February 13, 2015February 12, 2015 John - Gentleman Crafter12 Comments

This voyage through artist trading cards has been a bit of a discovery – both in terms of the multitude of techniques that could be used and the range of materials that could be incorporated.

This ATC is therefore dedicated to the theme of discovery.

Artist Trading Card Daily – 18

Do all living creatures dream? If so, what do they dream about? That was a question that I asked myself as I was making today’s Artist Trading Card.

Yes, I do think some bizarre things as I am crafting don’t I?

Artist Trading Card Daily – 14

I’m feeling the love from you all lately for this series of Artist Trading Card Daily posts so I thought that I would create something to celebrate that.

Artist Trading Card Daily – 1

January 1, 2015November 28, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter15 Comments

So this year I decided that I wanted to have a daily post on my blog but was a little concerned as life can sometimes take up a lot of the time that I would have ordinarily dedicated to the blog.

For this reason, and seeing that some of my friends were doing something similar, I thought that I would aim for some little makes, such as Artist Trading Cards.

This post therefore is the first in a 365 blog post series showing off a range of the little critters that I have been making in those little snatched moments of creativity.

A Blossoming Birthday Card

November 23, 2014August 28, 2020 John - Gentleman Crafter27 Comments

If you are anything like me then you have birthday’s happening in your family and friend circle all year round.

Sometime, especially towards Christmas, it’s hard to create things outside of the usual Christmassy stuff.

Well, it was my friend’s 50th recently so I decided to make a bright flowery card for her to celebrate with style.

Making MDF Craft Desk Storage

November 16, 2014November 6, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter20 Comments

It was some time ago that I bought a few sets of MDF craft room storage kits from Fernli designs and I meant to blog about them but it totally slipped my mind!

Anyway, I stumbled across the images that I had taken in my archives recently so thought that I would pop a quick blog post on here about them.Read More »

This week I have been making an Artist Trading Card using stamps from Tiddly Inks that I got free in a copy of Quick Cards Made Easy.

In this post I hope to give you a brief photographic tour of a recent trip to Hunstanton and I thought that I would share with you a quick card idea that I had whilst I was pottering about on the beach.

Monday Mash Up – Everybody Loves A Fairy

June 9, 2014June 4, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter29 Comments

This week I have been having a little colouring in session with my Spectrum Noir pens.

I didn’t start this project with anyone in mind so I chose a fairy for the design as it’s one of those universal images that seems to sit well with most people – everybody loves a fairy, right?
