Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #231 - Buttons or Bows!

 Hello fellow crafters! I'm back again for another challenge over at the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! For this month, we have the theme of 

~ Buttons &/or Bows ~ 

 

Our sponsor for this challenge is: 

      

MoonFlower Digistamps

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

I got to use the lovely image of Ashlee Faerie Locks. Here is my card:

Because of the shape of the image, I decided I'd go ahead and make a slimline card this time around. I love slimline cards (and the mini-slimline cards). They're different and so fun! Of course, the first thing I did was to print and color my image. I used my Tri-Blend color markers for this. Once I got done with that, I adhered her to the card base. Then I added some clear shimmer marker just about everywhere on her....lol! I love anything blingy or shiner! Know what I mean? 😉

I figured she needed something at the top left of the card, and since I wasn't quite sure yet who or what occasion I was going to use it for, I decided to just put a flower there. I had bought some flowers at a hobby store and pulled the heads off so I could reattach them in a more "flower looking" state. Then I added the rhinestone.

I hope that you will join us for the challenge! Everyone has such amazing cards, it's not easy to pick the Top 3 each month! Lol. See you there!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #228 - Add a Heart!

Hello, fellow crafty people! I am soooo very glad and thankful to be back! After being out for awhile due to illnesses, I am finally able to craft again. I'm a little bit shaky, but at least I'm able to try! So, on to the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge! The theme for this challenge is: 

Add a Heart

Our sponsors for this challenge are: 

(in alphabetical order)

    

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Stamper's Delights

Prize ~ 3 Single Digital Images

Now on to my card from Stampers Delights, Rose 1 . Here it is:

Considering the fact I hadn't colored in awhile and was so sick, I think it looks pretty good. I love doing flowers, and this one is a perfect digital for someone who loves flowers. I used my Tri-Blends to color the image. Once I was done and had my foundation with my matting pieces cut out, I embossed the sides of the colored paper with an embossing folder, and distressed the raised areas of the embossed part.

I then put 3D foam dots underneath the flower to give it more dimension. Adding the hearts was easy to do and gave it more eye appeal. I then added glittered rhinestones.

I do hope you enjoy this project and that you will join us over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! The prizes are awesome!

Until next time, Many blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #211 - Fall Colors

Hello, all you crafty people! Today we begin a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner!  This time our theme is: Fall Colours

Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is:

Digi Doodle Studios
Prize ~ 3 Digi Stamps

I don't know about you, but I think the Digi Doodle Stamps are just the cutest little images! For my card this week, I used the Cinnamon Chef cutie! Since the theme is Fall Colors, I went with the oranges, browns, etc. Here she is:

I don't know why, but I always seem to have trouble with the Fall colors, getting them the right shades, etc. But this time around, I think I got the colors I wanted. It really is a basic card: I colored her with Spectrum Noir color markers, mounted her on top of a  solid green layer of metallic paper from the Paper Temptress, added some printed paper, a sentiment and some flowers, and she was done! Oh, and an orange ribbon! 

We hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! You just might be a winner! And be sure to join in on the Digi Doodles Facebook Challenge too! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #171 - Tropical Colors!

Hello, ladies and hopefully, some gents too! We are starting our first challenge for the month of August with some amazing sponsors! This time, the theme is: TROPICAL COLORS! Here are our sponsors:

Our sponsors this week are:

SheepSki Designs

Prize: 3 Digital Images

All Dressed Up

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Creative Bug on the Loose

Prize ~ 5 Digital images

Wow! It was so hard to pick one image to do for this challenge, as all 3 sponsors are fantastic! But in the end, I have chosen to do Beach Baby by Creative Bug.  What a cute title for a cute little image. So here is my card:

There it is, in all it's Tropical colors glory! Lol! I'd say there are plenty of them on there, wouldn't you? I added some diamond glass glitter on the sand to make it more "sandy" looking, but the picture here doesn't show that. However, the shadowing on the sand from the artist, made it look sandy. So...it was all good! I did use Bone China Ink Oxide for the cloudy background. 

I hope that you will  join us for this challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! See you there!

Createful Heart Digis & Designs

Hello, crafters! Today I want to share with you a new Challenge over at Createful Heart Digis & Designs. But first, some new information. Createful Heart is now doing challenges on a monthly basis, rather than a bi-monthly basis. Still the same great prizes, though! Along with that, every mid-month to mid-month, a Facebook Sketch Challenge will be going on. So you still have 2 great challenges to enter each month.

For this month's blog challenge, we will be doing an Anything Goes with the option of Add Green or a Shamrock. I decided to do both! Here is my card:

I decided to use my Prismacolors on this card, rather than the markers. And I wasn't sure if making the butterfly green along with the leaves would work, but I decided to go ahead and give it a go. And I'm happy with it. I wanted the digital piece to "pop" out, so I thought some gold glitter paper would do the trick. As you can see, I have Shamrocks on all for corners of the top piece.

I do hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

I wanted to make a different kind of card than I had ever made before. I found this awesome tutorial from a YouTube channel of Maymay Made It! Click HERE. Here is my card:

Of course, I made a few little adjustments for what I wanted, but the concept is the same. I also used vellum inside and a couple of tealights. One tealight might have worked, but hey...the brighter the prettier it became! It was so easy to do and a lot of fun!

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Odd Ball Stamps

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Now I'd like to share with you my card as inspiration for you (hopefully!). Here it is:

Outside of Card

Card Opened

This card is called a wrap card. And for my card, I used the image Rory's Winter Poinsettia from Lacy Sunshine.  I love this image! She's a real cutie!

I cut out my wrap card using a setting from the library of my Silhouette. So much easier than cutting by hand, for sure! There are dies that can be used, but since I didn't have any like that, this was the way to go for me. I also cut out my image with the SIL and then colored her with a combination of color markers and Prismacolor pencils. The snowflake to the side of her was filled in with glossy accents and diamond glass glitter. I then added a piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card, placed the image on it, and lastly added washi tape to each side of her.

The last thing I did was to make a "belly band" for the outside of the card to simply hold the folds down in place better. I decorated it with a couple of rhinestones, a poinsettia, and washi tape. And she was done!

I hope you enjoyed this card! And please do stop by Crafty Gals and enter our challenges!

Papercraft Business 1st Challenge is Here!

Hi, crafters! I'm so excited to announce to you that today begins a New Challenge Blog over at Papercraft Business! And I've been asked to be a part of the Design Team! So with that said, here are some important information for you. First, our THEME: We are an Anything Goes Challenge Blog. That means  cards, tags, mixed media, etc. Optional: Christmas for an extra entry to win the prize! This is a monthly challenge, so it ends December 31st, 2017.

The winning prize is: Magnolia Designs – Christmas Eve Edwin stamp

Since the Theme is an Anything Goes with an Optional Christmas, I chose to do a Christmas. And it came right at the time I was getting ready for a craft purse swap! So I decided to go with the purse as my very first project with the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! Here it is:

Purse Front

Purse Back

"Coin" Purse

Purse Tags

I got the purse kit from Reneabouquets. Very easy piece to put together. So getting right to papering it and embellishing it was awesome! As I can be very impatient sometimes to get the embellishing started! And the paper all came from Secret Garden Crafty City. 

I went with pretty simple embellishing on the tags, as I wanted the beautiful prints on the paper to show up. I hope you enjoyed looking at my project, and that you will join us in our first ever challenge!
