Paper Funday Challenges DT – Love To Scrap 2

My Hero, My Mom

5/16/20 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hello, friends! Hope you’re having a good week! Our new challenge is live over at Paper Funday Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you today! Our challenges are always Anything Goes with an optional twist each month, and our twist this month is Mother’s Day. Our sponsor this month is All Dressed Up Stamps and I used the gorgeous Party Frock digital stamp from my stash to create a Mother’s Day card. I don’t believe this image was actually intended to use as a Mother’s Day image, but this just shows what you can do when you think outside the box! This is my last post for Paper Funday Challenges and I’d like to give a shout-out to Donna and the team for having me along this term – I’ve really enjoyed myself!

I printed the lady image on white cardstock and colored it with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I printed the image again on patterned paper and paper pieced the dress onto the cardstock image. I added some coordinating striped paper, some skinny glitter Washi Tape, and punched half-circles along the edges for a little interest. I added a computer-generated sentiment and a few Sprinkles.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover paper used on the front and the skinny glitter Washi Tape. I also punched half-circles around the edges of this panel. The inside sentiment is computer-generated as well.

Happy Easter!

I dipped into my new favorite paper pad and grabbed two coordinating patterned papers to use along with the two colors of cardstock. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, cut it with a stitched oval die and added a tiny white flat-back pearl to the center of each flower. The sentiment is computer-generated.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover paper and cardstock used on the front. The inside sentiment is computer-generated also.

And one more look… love how this turned out! Such an adorable image!

Hello, friends! Hope you’re having a good week! Our new challenge is live over at Paper Funday Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you today! Our challenges are always Anything Goes with an optional twist each month, and our twist this month is St. Patrick’s Day. Our sponsor is Jan’s Digi Stamps and I used Lucky Charm digi set from my stash to create a fun St. Patrick’s Day card. I absolutely LOVE Jan’s digis… especially the colored ones. She takes all the guess work, time and effort out of the equation! They are just beautiful! ;)

I used a pretty shaped die set to create the card base and layers. The patterned papers are from my new favorite paper pad. I printed a sentiment and pre-colored image from the set on white cardstock. I punched the sentiment out with a circle punch and layered it on a slightly larger punched circle. I cut the image with one of the card layer dies, and then used an old technique that I learned about five years ago to create gorgeous sparkle over the entire image. OMGoodness, what a fun technique that yields absolutely gorgeous results! And it’s easy – simply apply Versamark over the entire image (all the way out to the edges), apply a sparkle embossing powder and heat emboss it. Tip: If your sparkle embossing powder releases tiny bits of sparkle after it’s embossed, you can apply more Versamark and clear embossing powder, and heat emboss it again. I’ve also done this technique with bridal tinsel embossing powder in the past and needed to use the clear embossing powder over it.

I created a computer-generated sentiment for the inside, cut it with a card layer die and embellished it with coordinating paper from the same paper pad.

One more look… isn’t this just yummy?! Love, love, love! The sparkle is amazing!

I love hanging with you

Hello again! As stated in my last post, I’ve joined the Paper Funday Challenges DT for this term and our new challenge is live this morning! I’m sharing my second DT inspiration project for this month’s Anything Goes challenge and again, the optional twist is Valentine’s Day! Our sponsor is Cute As A Button and I was provided the most adorable I’m Hung Up On You digital image to create my second project. OMG, isn’t this guy (or gal) just the cutest?!

I used some pretty red and white patterned papers to create the background for this Valentine. I printed the digital image and a computer-generated sentiment on white cardstock. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, trimmed it and layered it on black cardstock. I added Glossy Accents to the hearts.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover paper and cardstock used on the front. The inside sentiment is computer-generated as well.

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

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day – hope you’re having an awesome week! I’m super stoked to be sharing my first DT inspiration project for Paper Funday Challenges! I’m so happy to be joining these ladies this term! Our challenges are always Anything Goes with an optional twist each month, and this month the twist is Valentine’s Day. Our sponsor this month is Cute As A Button and I used the adorable Mopsy Molly Rag Doll from my stash to create a Valentine.

I stuck with a clean and simple design for this card. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and cut it with matting dies, then cut two more pink layers with slightly larger matting dies.

2020_0108002a

I created a computer-generated sentiment for the inside and cut the panel with a matting die, then added a piece of skinny Washi Tape. I cut two more pink layers with slightly larger matting dies like I did on the front.
