6/15/20 Winner at Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenges!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a good week! Our new challenge is live over at Southern Girls Challenge and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you today! As always, the theme for our challenge is Anything Goes and we’d love to see what you create! Our sponsors this time are Three Button Studio, The Paper Shelter and Beccy’s Place. I was provided the super cool Neville image and a sentiment from the Gnomes in my Garden digital set. OMG, isn’t he just the cutest ever?! If I wasn’t married and Neville was a real-life dude, I’d be in love! ;)

I angled the corners of the card base and went with a warm color palette, layering the background paper and front (computer-generated) sentiment on charcoal cardstock. I colored Neville in rich red, yellow and browns, and layered a total of four fussy cuts of him on top of one another for some dimension. I had to give some life to my guy, lol! ;) I finished off the front with some pewter sequins.

I printed the sentiment that came with the image, trimmed the panel and embellished it with paper and cardstock used on the front.

And one more peek… OMG, I AM so in love! What an awesome image and sentiment. I might have to buy Beccy’s gnome set because the other gnomes are pretty awesome too! ;)

Yum treat box

Hello, my crafty friends! Hope you’re having a good week! This month’s Anything Goes with Dies Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project with you today! This is my last post for the Happy Little Stampers Die Team and I’d like to thank Kylie and the rest of the crew for having me along for the last year and a half! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I created a super cute pink and white polkadot treat box using the Stampin’ Up Baker’s Box Thinlits. I cut three ‘yum’ sentiments from hot pink textured cardstock and adhered them on top of one another for a little dimension, and then added tiny dots with a white Gelly Roll pen. I used pink Silky Crush ribbon to tie the box closed.

Here are a couple shots showing the back of the box. Reminds me of a little milk carton. So stinkin’ cute! ;)

Here’s one more look… I love how this turned out and it’ll look even cuter with some Jelly Belly jellybeans in it, lol! ;)

I feel a party coming on!

6/13/20 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi friends! Wow, this weekend sure went by fast… can’t believe it’s Monday again already! This year is flying by! I know I’ve said this before but my Mom always said ‘the older you get, the faster the time flies’ and boy she wasn’t kidding! I’ve popped on this morning to share one final card I created for this batch of ongoing Outlawz Challenges. This one is for the Twisted Thursday Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with an optional twist. Our sponsor this month is Some Odd Girl and the twist this time is Party Time! I created a fun watercolor birthday card with lots of shimmer!

When I saw the twist for this challenge, I knew I had to use this large party stamp! I stamped the image on cold press watercolor paper in black soot archival ink and then again in Versamark on top of the black, applied clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. This is a trick I learned years ago to get virtually any color of heat embossing – totally eliminates the need for purchasing colored embossing powder! I used brush markers and a water brush to watercolor the image, drying sections at a time with my heat tool being careful not to burn the embossing powder. I outlined the word ‘party’ with a gold paint marker, and then added shimmer to the words and the elements on the party hat. I cut the image with a large rectangle die and adhered it to a metallic blue cardstock base. I added a tiny gemstone to the top of the hat and a few randomly placed gold sequins to complete the front.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of the metallic blue cardstock used for the base and then layered it on green cardstock to compliment the green in the word ‘party’ on the front. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

One more peek… I’m absolutely thrilled with how this turned out! The embossing and the shimmer really make this image pop!

You’re stinkin’ cute!

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday – hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! It has been awesome having a few free days in my studio – with no design team projects required – with rockin’ mojo! I was absolutely loving it! I’ve popped in bright and early this morning to share a card for the Outlawz Festive Fridays Challenge! The themes available to choose from were Christmas, Male Birthday, Father’s Day and Anything Goes. I chose Anything Goes and created a bi-level card featuring an adorable skunk!

I stamped the skunk in black and colored it with Nuvo alcohol markers. I cut it with the coordinating die and layered it onto three additional skunk die cuts for some dimension. I also stamped and colored three hearts which I cut with the coordinating die. I cut a bi-level card base (meaning the front flap is cut shorter than the back flap) from white card stock using a pointed scalloped border die. I stamped the sentiment on the longest edge and adhered the skunk toward the left side, along with some heart die cuts. I adhered some black and white gingham paper to the inside of the card base so it can be seen when the card is closed.

I created a stitched square die cut to use as the inside panel which I embellished with a strip of red cardstock to compliment the red hearts on the front, then stamped the sentiment in black ink.

And one more peek… so stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it!

Love You

Hi everyone! Well, the wind is still whippin’ out there but the gray sky has turned into a beautiful blue, so it has definitely turned out to be a gorgeous day here in Colorado! I’ve popped in for the last time today (I’m sure you’re tired of me by now, lol!) to share a card I created for The Outlawz Progressive/Freebie Challenge! Our sponsor this month is Hettie Clare Art and we were provided the super cute Pony Plait digital image to play with. I created a card featuring this adorable image paired with burlap and corrugated kraft cardstock for a little texture and interest.

I used Gamsol and colored pencils to color this image and then cut it with a stitched rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment directly on the image die cut and layered it onto a strip of corrugated kraft cardstock layered onto a rectangle cut from burlap which I adhered to the card front.

I embellished the inside panel with a couple strips of Twine cardstock, stamped the sentiment, and then layered the panel onto more of the Twine cardstock.

And one more look… I just love how this turned out! What a sweet image!

7/1/20 Top 5 at QKR Stampede!

Hi everyone! I’m baaack! Yep, you guessed it… with another card created for The Outlawz Challenges, lol! I’ve had such a good time cranking them out over the past couple days! This one is for the Tuesday Color Challenge where our sponsor this month is SheepSki Designs so be sure to come over and play! The colors for this challenge are black and white plus one color of choice – with a twist of stripes!

I used black and white striped cardstock for my background which I layered on black cardstock. I colored the SheepSki Designs Wild Roses digital image in shades of green. Green is my all-time favorite color and I thought it looked fabulous on the black and white!

I used a coloring technique that I haven’t used in years – Gamsol with colored pencils. I thoroughly enjoyed this and had forgotten how much fun it was… so much so that I used it on another project the same day, lol! I used a digital sentiment which I layered on several pieces of cardstock, trimmed and placed in the bottom right corner. I completed the front with some randomly placed white flat-back pearls.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of the black and white striped cardstock, added a digital sentiment, and layered the panel on the black cardstock.

And one more look… totally loving this color combo!

thanks

Hello again, peeps! Sending lots of smiles your way! I’m back with another card I created for The Outlawz Challenges – this one is for the Wednesday Sketch Challenge and we were given this beautifully simple sketch to follow!

Leigh SB Designs is our sponsor this month so come on over and play! I created a pretty thank you card – I always say one can never have too many of these on hand! This one was a lot of fun! Sketches, in general, are a lot of fun because they take most of the guess-work out of designing, and we can all use that occasionally!

I pulled out one of my favorite cardstock stacks to use for the layers on this card. Every print in the stack coordinates so you always have a beautiful card when using this cardstock! I cut an ivory card base, layered all the printed pieces on ivory cardstock, and created a stacked die cut sentiment from ivory cardstock to pull it all together. I finished off the front with some bling I’ve had in my stash forever that’s never seen the light of day!

I cut the inside panel to match the front, stamped the sentiment, and layered it on some of the red print used on the front.

And one more peek… I’m absolutely loving how this turned out! Such an amazing sketch!

Thinking of You

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday – hope you’re doing something fun! We are having some super windy weather with a few raindrops here and there, so I’m busy taking project photos and writing blog posts! I’m sharing a clean and simple card I created for The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge where the theme is flowers with dry or heat embossed background. Jan’s Digi Stamps is our sponsor this month so come on over and play! I created an encouragement card in warm tones with some pretty paper flowers and an embossed sentiment across the bottom.

The Core’dinations cardstock already had a cool embossed linen look so I thought an embossed sentiment across the bottom of the CAS design would be perfect. I’ve had a set of sentiment embossing folders in my stash for several years and have never used them, so in my quest to use ‘new unused stuff’ from my stash, I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to use one of them!

I dug through my stash of paper flowers and found three that complimented the paper beautifully. I put down a strip of red glitter Washi Tape and then another strip of skinny red dotted Washi Tape on top, and then added the flowers. I finished the front with some randomly placed sprinkles and glittered gumdrops.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of the cardstock and Washi Tape used on the front, and layered it on the same cardstock.

One more peek… absolutely loving how this turned out! I believe this would be just the ticket to let a friend know you’re thinking about her!

Inspirational Coins (set of 3)

Hello, my friends! Hope you’re having a good week! This month’s ATC Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you today! The theme for our June ATC Challenge is Monochrome and we’d love to see what you create for our challenge this month! This is my last post for the Happy Little Stampers ATC team and I’d like to thank Kylie and the rest of the team for having me along for the last year and a half! I’ve had loads of fun creating so many ATCs which has definitely jump-started my addiction, lol!

I created a set of three inspirational coins this month. We all need a little inspiration seeing with what’s going on in the world right now. Hopefully it won’t be long until we can all be back out there with our family and friends doing the things we love. I was a top pick in one of Lozzy’s challenges a while back and won some of her digital papers. I used one of the prints from her Mono collection for this project.

I used the awesome Hero Arts To Seize or Not To Seize stamp set along with Hero Arts white embossing powder to create the sentiment strips for each of the coins. To finish them off, I affixed one medium and two small black gemstones to each one.

And one more look… I sure am happy with how these turned out! Nothing like a little inspiration to have a great day! ;)
