Crafty Gals Corner Challenge - You're the Man!

Hello, all you awesome crafters! It's time for another challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  The theme for this challenge is: 

You're the Man!

For this challenge, we are privileged to be sponsored by:
(in alphabetical order)



Bugaboo Digital Stamps
Prize ~ $12 gift certificate

Digital Delights

Prize ~ $5 Gift Certificate

Dr. Digi's

Prize ~ 2 Digital Images

For this challenge, we are celebrating the men in our lives! I decided that I would make a Father's Day card so my grandchildren could give their Dad a card. Here is my card:

Kidz Dad Girl

Bugaboo Stamps

I thought that I'd do something a little different for this card. Anyway, for me it was different. Before I made the card base, I made the tie out of blue cardstock with black underneath. I then cut out my digital and colored her. Once that was done, I placed her onto the tie, and then did my matting for the card base. Some ribbon and buttons added, and it was done! 

This was such a fun card to do! I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! But most of all, have fun with it, and stay safe!!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #183 - Make it Sparkle!

Hello, crafters! It's time once again for another challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This fortnight, we have the challenge theme of Make it Sparkle! What a fun challenge! Here are our amazing sponsors:

Morgan's Art World

Star Stampz

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Crafty Sentiments Designs

Now let me share with you my card, using Christmas Cameo:

I love this classy image! Making her sparkle was so easy, as she looks like a sparkly lady! For the background, I used light blue glitter paper. I also used red glitter paper to cut out my butterflies and red glitter washi tape. Then the flower was added as an additional sparkly embellishment!

I hope that you will join us for the challenge! And thanks for stopping by!

Papercraft Business Challenge #8 - Anything Goes!

Hello, fellow crafters! Today begins the new challenge (#8) for the month of July over at Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! We have an awesome prize to give away, too! A Magnolia Doohickey Tilda Doily! 

I decided that, rather than making a card this time around, I would make a Julie Nutting tag, using some elements from a kit I had bought. Here is my tag:

I used some Tim Holtz Ink Oxides for the background and then sprinkled a little bit of water onto the tag. I then stamped a "paragraph" stamp onto the top of that. I colored my wooden Julie Nutting doll with alcohol markers, set her aside a bit to dry, and then found embellishments I wanted to use with her. After she dried, I cut a flower in half, glued them onto each side of the tag, then added her. The laces, etc, didn't take long to put together since I already had out what I wanted to use.

I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! And check out each of the Design Teams projects! THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Crafter's Castle March Challenge Begins!

Hello, crafters! Today begins a new Challenge over at Crafter's Castle Challenge Blog!  For this month, we have the amazing sponsor Paper Wishes! And they are offering a $20 Gift Certificate to the winner! Yay!  I'm excited to share with you the papers that we got for this month's challenge, called Rooted in Love Paper Pack and the Rooted in Love Dazzles.

But before I go on, I have a BIG NEWS FLASH!!!
Crafter's Castle will be having their first
YouTube Video Hop March 17-23
Don't miss it!!! IT'LL BE SO FUN!!

So here is what I created for this challenge. I found this awesome fancy fold card on Pinterest. Unfortunately, there were no dimensions or anything on how to make it. So I got creative and decided I'd figure out how to make it. (Below is the instructional video.)

Of course, I practiced on paper that was in my scraps, not worrying about whether or not they matched. Lol.

My Project:

Don't you just love this fold? It may not be exactly like the original, but it's close enough for me. I hope you'll enter our challenge! Can't find your way? CLICK HERE for the Crafter’s Castle Blog.

TTCRD Mar-Apr 2018 Web Challenge

Hello, crafters! I want to share with you my project for Through the Craft Room Door  Web Challenge for the upcoming March/April 2018 online magazine! For this challenge, a Mixed Media project is what's happening! Here is my project - a Mixed Media card. I don't do a lot of those type of cards, but I thought I'd try my hand at one for this time around. 

I put a lot of texture and various types of pieces, embellishments, and so on in this project. I was happier with it than I thought I would be. To see all the supplies I used in it, be sure to check out the upcoming TTCRD Online Magazine Mar/Apr 2018 issue! And you'll see a lot of great tutorials in there as well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Entered into the following challenge(s):
Dream Valley Challenges - Things with Wings #173

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #158

Hello and welcome back to a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges!  

This week the challenge is: Anything Goes 

Our sponsor this week is the amazing

The Paper Shelter

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

So for my project this week, I am using Pure Innocence. She is one little cutie! This isn't my first time using The Paper Shelter, and I really love them! One thing I like about them, is that you get several images....both pre-colored and non-colored. Plus you get background images. Sometimes you just don't have the time you need to put together a special card for someone special. Normally, I use the black and white image and color it in myself. But this was one of those times where I wasn't able to, after being sick a few days. So, I used all pre-colored. 

 

So here's what I did. I used my Silhouette to cut out the little fairy and butterfly and stickled her. Using the same dimensions, I cut out the whole background with the image already on it, and placed it on a pink cardstock. Once my separated fairy was dry, I mounted her right on top of the background piece using 3D foam. So I actually had two fairy images, one on top of the other. I then mounted her on top of white cardstock and added pearls. Ouila! She was done! Simple, yet the images make a statement!

So there you have it! Let's see what you create! I hope you will join our challenge!

Blessings,

Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

Papercraft Business January Challenge!

Hi, crafters! Today begins our 2nd challenge over at Papercraft Business! Since this is only our 2nd challenge, here is some important information for you. First, our THEME: We are an Anything Goes Challenge Blog. That means cards, tags, mixed media, etc. We will also have an optional twist. This month's Optional: Anything New for an extra entry to win the prize! This is a monthly challenge, so our 2nd challenge ends January 31st, 2018.

Now let me share with you what I did for this project:

Now, before I go any further, I want to let you know that I got the idea for this card from a YouTube video HERE. The big difference is that I didn't have the slider die cuts, so I just adjusted my card to do it by hand. 

I'd like to share with you my video demonstrating what my card does when "in action". CLICK HERE.

I hope that you will join in on our challenge! There are always prizes to be given away!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

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:

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #154

Hello, crafty peeps! Today begins a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner!  So for this week, we are doing ANYTHING GOES. Our sponsor for this week is the amazing Faery Ink. 

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So what I used for my project this week is a cute little image called Candy Cane Sitter. Here is the card I made:

I started off by cutting out my image and coloring her in with my new Ohuhu markers. I have to say, I really like them. I haven't had any trouble with them bleeding. I added some stickles onto her wings for some faery sparkle. I mounted her on ovals of white, green, and red. Then I added pearls on the top right, ribbon, and tinsel on the left side, and put a poinsettia on top of that. My sentiment was cut out using my Silhouette Portrait.

I hope that you will join us for the challenge! It's Anything Goes! Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #150 - To "Die" For

Hello, fellow crafters! Today I want to share with you my tag I made for this week's Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This week the challenge is To "Die" For! And we have 2 amazing Sponsors! They are:

Scrap N Dipity

Prize: 3 Digital Images

SheepSki Designs

Prize: 3 Digital Images

I decided to make a Tag using the Yarn Lover Rose image.  Here it is:

Isn't she a cutie?? So for my dies, I used my Silhouette to cut out the tag, and my Big Shot to cut out the doily, the 2 mats behind the doily, and the little branches. I used colored markers to color my image in. 

She was fairly simple to do, but I love the look of the tag! I sure hope that you will join us in our challenges this week! And thanks for stopping by!

Createful Hearts Digis & Designs - Challenge #6

Hello, fellow crafters! Today I want to share with you that Createful Hearts Digis & Designs has begun a new Anything Goes challenge today! So that means I want to share with you what I did for this project, using one of Mary's images (of course!).

I went with one of Mary's newer images, Cynthia 1920 Chic. I'm telling ya, this Flapper Girl is so pretty! One of my faves! Now let me show you what I did with her:

Of course, the first thing I did was to print and cut her out with my Silhouette. Then I decided on what colors I wanted her to be in, using my Prismacolors. Then I used different colors of Stickles to put "dimension" on the beads in her cap. Once finished with her, I cut out another piece for a "frame" around her, and mounted that on top of a black card base. I added some wedding applique from the Facebook Group, Lighthouse stop n' shop.  There's a ton of lace in there, for very reasonable prices! 

After that was done, I simply added a sentiment and she was finished! I hope you like her!

Thanks for stopping by!

Shabby Chic Christmas Card

Hello, everyone! I wanted to drop in today and share a Christmas card with you. I love Shabby Chic, so when I saw a challenge posted in a Facebook group, I decided I'd go for it. But I wanted this one to be a Christmas card, as I just bought this gorgeous paper and die cut from an online store called Crafty City. I love this new designer cardstock made by Prima. This one is the Sweet Christmas paper pad. Here is my card:

I wish the glitter on the poinsettia would show up better, because it sure is pretty! First, I made the poinsettia following the YouTube channel of Archana Joshi, tutorial LINK HERE. I then took some white as a base for the card, making it an A2 card. I cut out some paper from the pad, and distress the edges of it, then mounted it onto the white. I then cut out the girl image and mounted her on top of the 2nd layer. I used my Big Shot to cut out the blue and pink branches you see up there (also from Crafty City.  I added snowflakes, pearls, a pearl trim, and a pink rose trim to the card. Lastly, I added a white rose to the bottom right of the card (what's Shabby Chic without at least one rose, right??). The rose was also from Crafty City.

I entered this card into the Facebook Page Play Creative. You do have to join the group to participate. I have also entered it into The Merry Christmas Challenge Blog, #42, Anything Goes + Christmas - Twist: Add Snow. I have snowflakes. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
