Crafty Gals Corner - Easter/Spring 2020

Hello, all you wonderful crafters out there! I hope that this finds you happy and in good health!  So today is the beginning of a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  And the theme for this challenge is: 
Easter / Spring 

Our awesome sponsors for this challenge are:



Creative Bug on the Loose
Prize ~ 5 digital stamps





Bugaboo Digital Stamps
Prize ~ $12 gift certificate





Digital Delights
Prize ~ $5 gift certificate

Now here is my card. I'm using Bella Easter Egg Bunny. She is such a little cutie!

So I started out with a base card foundation of  8 1/2" x 5 1/2", then folded in half at the center of the 8 1/2" side. I then layered paper from the Celebrate Today paper pack. (via my website at 

https://jeanieellis.closetomyheart.com/.  The double sided paper makes it a great way to coordinate papers without having to search. The next mounting sheet was 4" x 5 1/4", then the top layer 3 3/4" x 5". I added a leftover strip from the paper pack on the left side and then stamped the sentiment from the Happy Easter stamp set.  Lastly, I layered on top the cute image. 

I colored the image using my Real Brush Arteza set. It was my first time using those, so I suggest you practice with these brushes first, as there is a learning curve. But I really like them! I used my ATG tape runner to adhere everything.

I hope that you are inspired by my card, and that you will join in on our challenge! 

Thank you for stopping by! Stay safe!

Front Spinner card Tutorial

Hello, fellow crafters! Welcome to my blog! I hope that everyone is staying safe during this trying time in not only our nation, but worldwide. During this time, I've decided I need to do more crafting. How about you?

In today's blog, I want to share with you a tutorial on how to use and make the Front Spinner Card thin cuts from Close to My Heart (my website).  There is a special stamp set that goes with these thin cuts, but I chose to do something a little differently.  (Check the thin cuts here: Z3626)

I hope that you will watch this video, and try it out yourself!



Thank you so much for stopping by! See you next time!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - 3/18/2020

Hello, fellow crafters! And welcome to another monthly challenge here at Crafty Gals Corner! Today we have a new theme for this month - ADD A FLOWER!

For this challenge, we have the pleasure of Digi Doodle Studios as our sponsor!

Digi Doodle Studios
Prize ~ 3 Digi Stamps

I got the cutest little image to work with - Briar Berry Spry Fairy. Here she is:

I colored this little cutie with my Spectrum Noir color markers.  After that, I layered her with 2 mats in designer series papers. With the theme being Add a Flower, I added the white flower, even though she had flowers in her hair and my red paper had flowers. I thought it needed a little touch. :)

So there you have it! I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! You never know...you could win!

Thank you for stopping by!

So I certainly have added hearts, don't you think? Lol. She's even holding a heart, the design paper is loaded with hearts, and then I have hearts standing up in the middle even! (Paper from Close to My Heart) I also used Stickles on her leggings and on the heart.
