The Scrapoholic Candy Shop DT Project

Happy Thursday, crafters! I'm so excited to share with you a new digital release by The Scrapoholic Candy Shop owner, Amanda! Go to the shop, click New Releases, and you'll see a few new "faces" there. Here is the link to the one I did, Ice Cream Bears. I love the new images. They are adorable. I had a hard time figuring out which one I wanted to pick.

Normally, I would color my girl bear a lighter brown or something more pale, but I had some pens I wanted to try out, just to see if I could work with them. I've never done a project with just pens before. After I colored the images (see the Sprinkles jar?), I used clear Wink of Stella all over the pieces, except where I used metallic pens. Then I cut her and the jar out, placed her on white cardstock, and placed that onto a piece of printed pink cardstock from my stash. I then got my card base and placed everything onto it. The sprinkles jar is slightly angled. I had some chalk cardstock also in my stash, and found the word Celebrate. The rest of the sentiment was printed on white cardstock. I used Glass Glitter from Gone Artsy. She has a lot of great items at a great price!

I hope you visit The Scrapoholic Candy Shop, and visit the blog for some DT inspiration! Also visit us on our Facebook page, and show us what you created!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #83

This week (and last week's) the Crafty Gals Corner Challenges (#83) is Birthday's/Celebrate!

Our sponsors this week are:

Faery Ink

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Ching-Chou Kuik

Prize:1 Digital Image

Ching-Chou Kuik was born in 1979 at Pantai Remis, Perak, Malaysia . She lived in Malaysia, and moved to Taiwan at age of 19, to pursuit her fine art education at National Taiwan Normal University.

In 2003, she graduated with a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts (painting). 

While in Taipei, Ching-Chou enjoyed being an art teacher for young children from age three to twelve. The originality of the youngsters' pieces inspires her and brings enthusiasm and creativity to her works. Ching-Chou moved to Seattle with her husband in 2005, and a mother to a boy.

Ching-Chou became a full-time artist and share her art with others since Mar 2006.

Here is my project card for this week using Coco Marshmallow Fae: 

I really wish you could see all the glitter and shininess to this card! It really pops in person. I used Heavenly White #80 from Paper Temptress for both the card base and to print/color my image. I cut her out and layered her onto a sheet of Aqua and Olive from the Basis package. Lots of colors to choose from, but I'm already almost out! 

I then embossed some wooden snowflakes with Ranger Snowflake embossing powder I got from Reneabouquets. All the snowflakes shown on the card were gifted to me in a Pocket Letter I had received. I had a Here's to You sentiment to the right side, added a bow with a handmade embellishment on top of the bow, and red lace to the left with iridescent pearl trim. I then took stickles to the wings, her jacket, marshmallows, snowflakes on cup, and a little on the sentiment. The red beads on the bottom right are made from a hot glue gun my grandson had done for me. I just added stickles on top of that after I had used DecoArt metallic red on them. 

I hope you join in our challenge this week! Great gifts just might head your way!

TTCRD - Anything Goes week of August 9th

Outlawz Color Challenge August 9th

Time for another Color Challenge over at the Outlawz! The Color Challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps. The Prize for this month will be a $10 GC for Raspberry Road Designs.

  Here is this week's challenge board:

I absolutely love these colors! I can't believe I even had some paper that I could work with the ONE Prismacolor that I had! It was actually an aquamarine that I just darkened and ouila! It was great! Here is my card for this week:

My other 2 colors were the yellow and a red-orange in the inspiration photo. It's really a clean and simple card. I put 2 tones into the flower and outlined the "leafy"? part with the yellow, but I got outside of the lines on those intentionally so the yellow could be see there. My twist on the project is the Diamond Glass Glitter and Butterfly I buy from Reneabouquets after I had layered my digital onto a mat of yellow, then the teal foundation base. 

The color challenges are always so fun to do! I really love doing these! I hope you come and join us there! Let's see what you did with the colors you choose!

CAS Outlawz Challenge

Hello, crafters! Today I want to share with you a challenge I entered over at the Outlawz website blog. I'm a DT with the Outlawz Color Challenge, but when I saw this free digital Teresa Arsenault in the Outlawz Clean and Simple challenge, I just had to use it! It's been a long time since I colored realistic dogs. I used to draw and color my own, but like I said, it's been a while. I used digital papers from Scribbles Designs while I served a term with TTCRD, and the colors went perfectly with the colors of the dog! So, being a CAS card, all I had to do was color the picture (I used Heavenly White #80 from Paper Temptress), print out the digital, add a simple sentiment, and it was done! That's what I like about CAS...clean and simple....quick! Here is my card:

I hope you enter in the challenge too! If you're looking for something quick, this is it!

The Scrapoholic Candy Shop

It's Just Plane Cute!  I love this adorable image from The Scrapoholic Candy Shop! And what's more, it comes prepared with sentiments! Some days, I need help with those sentiments, and this just happened to be one of those times! 

I kept this one pretty CAS. I used a cloud designer paper from my stash, plus red and white cardstock. The white, of course, for my digital. Once again, I used my Prismacolors. I love those! I added a few stars in the sky, added some glossy accents, and my card was finished. I'll send this card to someone who needs a little pick me up.

Stop by the SCS blog and look over all the posts for inspiration! And don't forget to show us what you've created on the SCS Facebook page, too! We want to see it!

Outlawz Color Challenge Week of August 2nd

Hello, fellow crafters! So today we start a new week of a Color Challenge! TIC-TAC-TOE! I love the those and the Bingo ones. Gets the juices flowing! (*wink*)  

The Color Challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps. The Prize for this month will be a $10 GC for Raspberry Road Designs.

  Here is this week's challenge board:

For my card, I went from top right to bottom left (diagonally), so that meant I needed Red, Black, Lace, and Yellow. I wasn't sure if the colors would work for what I was going to do. I used the Frame It digital. It seems lately a lot of people have been sick, or some other major issue going on. So, I wanted to make a card for someone special. Here is my card:

I used card stock I had already in my stash for the layers, and also for the image. I usually always plan on the size of the image I want to make first, depending it on what the image is and what I am planning to use it for. Sometimes, I just wing it and go with whatever size I printed, and it works! And you usually can't go wrong with cards or tags! 

After I colored the image with the Prismacolors, using the image's "frame" as my first red "mat", I followed up with a layer of yellow, "another" red, a black, then made the card foundation out of white. Because the word "Lace" was in with the black on the board, I decided to go along with black lace first. I then layered red lace on top of that and added light yellow pearl drops, then added red and yellow roses on the right side of the card. This image is probably one of my very favorites from Bugaboo. I love how the shadows are already in there to help guide with my coloring shadows!

I hope you join us in this week's Color Challenge!

Paper Temptress DT Mixed Media

Hello, everyone! Jeanie, DT here with another Paper Temptress project! I wanted to work with the overlays and heavy weight papers to make a mixed media project this time. So...although I really hate wasting my very good paper, sometimes you just have to take a chance and go with your gut. :-D Here is my project:

I used the Heavenly White paper for my background canvas, then tore bits of scraps of the PT paper I had, such as the Frame Wallpaper (I used both sides and tore paper, mod-podging them onto the white), Scriptease, and Black Peacock Feathers. I'm not sure if that's still available, but here is a link to it in Gold. I also put a Mandarin Red with gold edge ribbon on the left side of the paper.

Then I proceeded to layer the Raffle Leaf Screen Print over that,  then the Wings Screen Print on top of that. I added more of the Mandarin Red on top of some lace and pearls, doily ribbon from Gone Artsy , leaf applique, and the 2 rhinestone/pearls on each side, then the doily with iridescent pearls down the center. The beautiful butterfly applique is from KPKre8tions. I added various  embellishments. I added Green Cord Ribbon at the top left and right sides.

I hope you enjoy this project! As you can see, there's a lot of things you can make with PT paper and products!
