Creatalicious Challenges #48

Hi Everyone!

It's challenge time again over at Creatalcious Challenges again and this time Vanessa has a recipe for us all to play along with - 

Who likes to FOLLOW A RECIPE??
So, let's use at least these ingredients in our crafts this month:

- 1 ribbon/bow

- 2 buttons

- 2 flowers

- 1 clip/stitch/fastening

- 2 patterned paper

- glitter (any kind)

Here's what I came up with-

I coloured in the Sassy Studio Designs - Sock Hop Sweetie 2 image with my copics. It's a bit hard to tell in this photo but the black background card has been embossed with some sheet music and I've used that as one of the patterned papers. 

This challenge is sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the prize is 4 digi images for the winner to choose!

I love reading your comments! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Creatalicious Challenges #44 Armour ......

Hi Everyone!

It's challenge time over a Creatalicious Challenges again and this month we are celebrating love! "Love is in the air..... Just yesterday we had Valentine's Day and I dare you to create a beautiful piece about LOVE! That includes weddings, hearts, cupids and everything that makes you think about this warm feeling." 

This month is sponsored by StampFairy who are kindly giving one looking winner a $10 Gift Certificate to be used in their store.

For my card I have used the very cute StampFairy digital stamps Barry Angel in Love and the sentiment is from Stuffed with Love.

I printed him out on some X-Press It blending card and then die cut it using Spellbinders Labels Fifteen. After I coloured him with my Copics, I placed the die back onto the cut out and sponged some SU! Crumb Cake ink around the image with my Inkssentials blending tool and foam. I love the effect it gives!

The aqua coloured paper and the piece with the sentiment is from a Kaisercraft Homemade Collection 6" paper pad and the pretty pink paper is from a Prima Fairy Belle Collection " paper pad. I used the MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flag Stax for the banners down the bottom.  I purchased the doily from a discount homewares shop. They came in a pack of 100 for only $3.95, so I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of them! :)

The ribbon is SU! Crumb Cake seam binding. Tip- I love the look and feel of seam binding but I don't really like how you can see through it when you lay it on the card. To fix this, I layer two pieces on top of each other. Problem fixed! 

Here's another angle- 

Did you know that Creatalicious Challenges is now offering fortnightly challenges instead of just once a month? So, now you can can have twice the fun playing along with us! Challenges are posted on the 1st, a colour palette challenge and the 15th, a theme challenge. Both challenges will go for a month each, so there's plenty of time to play along :)

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges -
Addicted to Stamps and More - Time for Bingo! I chose Digi, Free (colouring, of course :) and Love

365 Cards Day 45 - let's see a "Love" theme with lots of overlapping elements - (overlapped banner flags and layers)
Milk Coffee Challenge  - Make it Cute!
Moving Along With The Times - Love is in the air
Paper Crafting Journey - love
Crafting by Designs - here's my heart - make a project with hearts but not a Valentine

You Make My Little Heart Happy.....

Hi Everyone!

There's a big storm rumbling in so I have to make this one quick :)

I had some time to craft today but sadly my mojo went missing. I ended up joining three challenges so I didn't have to make too many decisions myself :)

Freshly Made Sketches #72 - sketch 

Inkspirational Challenges #6 - colours (I am absolutely LOVING kraft at the moment!)

and Crazy 4 Challenges #172 - have a theme challenge of hearts "Let's make some cards with hearts on them, but with a twist. Do NOT use red or pink on your cards." (heart is in the sentiment)

This is what I come up with 

and here's a different angle

Kaisercraft Note Cards.....

Hi Everyone!

I just thought I'd pop in and share some little note cards that I made for The Stamp Spot using some cute Kaisercraft animal stamps.

These gift cards measure 7 1/2cm x 7 1/2cm, just perfect for those smaller gifts. They would make great little lunch box notes for the kids or even for hubby! 

I've used a combination of colouring with Copics and paper piecing on each of them so it's great way to use up those little scraps of paper we all having lying around.

Here's a closer look at each of them-

The Hippo 

Frog

Elephant

Owl

Kind of cute, aren't they? :)
