Mix It up Challenge Blog- Fancy Folds Challenge


 Hello Crafty Friends,

New month and a new challenge at Mix it Up Challenge Blog.  We want to see your Fancy Fold cards.  I found this pattern on Pinterest and so had to create it.  I used pattern paper from my stash to create the base of the card. 

This is the front of the card.   I used a stamp from Pink and Main stamped in blue ink for the front of the card.


 There is a total of 3 panels and 2 folds.


 This is the final panel where you would write your message.  I used the ice cream cone stamp from Doodlebug and the sentiment from My Favorite Things.


The middle panel features a die cut ice cream cut with dies from Pink and Main.  I also used an embossing folder from Stampin Up to create the background.


 I finished the card by adding some rhinestones to the front, 

Now it is your turn.  Create a project with fancy folds and share it with us at Mix it Up Challenge Blog.

Love to Craft Challenge Blog- Anything Goes

 


Hello Crafty Friends,

New month and that means a new challenge at Love to Craft Challenge Blog.  This month I want to share a card I created for a "Childhood" swap I participated in.

Among the cartoons I used to watch as a kid was the Carebears.  I loved the show and when this set from Kindred Stamps titled "All the Feels" came out I had to have it.


Here is a close up of a few of the bears

I had so much fun coloring these little guys using my Copic Markers.

Pink: Rv66, RV55, RV52, R46, Y15, B02

Orange: YR27, YR68, YR15, R05

The background 2was created with Distree oxides and a cloud pattern I created.  The sentiment was stamped with black ink from the stamp set.

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #251- Winter Fun


 

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is the winter season and it has been pretty chilly here in Southern California.  I think the high's have been in the high 50's, low 60's and at night around the 40's.  That is cold, but I love it.  The new challenge at Crafty Gals is all about fun- winter fun!

 

I received this cute image from Poladoodles titled "Build a Snowman- Theo Penguin", and I had so much fun coloring it, 

 
I colored the image with my Copic markers:
Snow: BG75, BG72, BG11
Carrot: YR09, YR16, YR15, YG07, YG05
Sticks: E25, E23
Penguin: C9, C7. C5, C1, C00, 100
Cardinal: R59, R46, R35
Scarf: V17, V15, V12

The card base is made with black cardstock, a white pattern from Lawn Fawn's Knit Picky 6 x 6 paper pad and stripes cut with dies from Taylored Expressions.
To finish the card, I added some snowflake stickers from Jolene's.

Thank you for stopping by. Please leave me a comment and join the challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog- Anything Christmas

 


Hello Crafty Friends,

It is hard to believe that we are upon a new year.  This past Christmas I attended a retreat where the theme was gingerbreads.  I created this card using dies from Doodlebug,


To add some depth, I cut out a frame with a die from Taylored Expressions and a piece of Doodlebug's Gingerbread Kisses line of pattern paper.  

I dies cut and sponged the sides of the gingerbread and tree cookies to give them some depth.  I also added some pink ink to Santa's cheeks.

I know Christmas just past, but to be ready for next year, start working on your Christmas cards now and share them with us over at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog

Then please leave me a comment.
