Challenge #140

Easter!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

The Paper Shelter - http://www.thepapershelter.com

For my project this week I'm using the super cute Little Easter Bunnies digi stamp from The Paper Shelter. I decided to grab my coloured pencils to colour in this sweet image that I cut out with a stitched circle die.

I heat embossed a Lawn Fawn Happy Easter sentiment on black cardstock and cut the ends to create a banner before layering it over the circle. I think it looks a bit like a snow globe! Seeing as it is actually snowing... boo... here, maybe that's fitting, lol. I'm really hoping we get some lovely warm spring weather soon. Maybe these bunnies will bring it 😉

Inside, I stamped another Lawn Fawn sentiment in black ink. I've really loved using this sentiment this year!

I used Distress Oxides on the cardbase to create a rainbow effect and then layered a Your Next Stamp looped stitched die across each colour cut with Tim Holtz Metallic Confection Cardstock. I love this stuff!! A few pretty sequins and gems from a Buttons Galore mix finish off the card, and it's ready to pop in the mail.

Kitty Bee Designs - #136 Love & Valentines!

Challenge #136

Love & Valentines

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

Beccy's Place

For this week's challenge I decided to use the Love theme to create a wine wrap and gift tag set that could be given as a housewarming gift. I used the cute blue house from the My Neighborhood digital stamp set with the sending love sentiment. This set is full of awesome neighborhood images, and you get the precoloured images along with black and white digis and several sentiments. 

I diecut the preprinted house with a Sizzix oval die and layered it on a tag cut from a Paige Evans paper pad. These cool We R Memory Keepers brads added a neat element to the front.

I used some pretty embellishments from Buttons Galore to add some bling and added a little heart stamp on the door. I was able to colour the 'sending love' portion of the stamp by opening it with the Paint 3D program on my PC and clicking on the colour I wanted. A bit of Distress Oxide Ink around the edge adds some interest.

I was easily able to customize the red and green houses by opening them in Paint 3D as well and simply clicking the colours I wanted. I then saved each individually and printed them out side by side in the word processing program I use. 

I diecut a border around the house label and layered it on some papers from a Paige Evans Pink Paislee Paper Pad cut to fit around the bottle. I used a strip of double sided score tape to secure the wrap in place and added some more pretty bling from the Buttons Galore pack. Now I have a gift ready and waiting to deliver to a friend!

Star Stampz


and

Scribbles Designs

For this challenge I'm using an adorable image from Star Stampz - the Cup Of Cocoa digi stamp. She's so cute bundled up in her sweet little jacket and looks so cozy drinking her yummy cup of steaming cocoa! I coloured her up with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor Markers and layered the image on oval stitched diecuts. 

An older Simple Stories collection, Snow Fun, was just perfect to for a wintery feel for this card! I added a couple Studio Katia snowflake sequins and some pretty SpiegelMom Scraps sequins and stamped a little red heart, adding Glossy Accents for a pop of red.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment with a Concord & 9th stamp set and added a few more SpiegelMom Scraps sequins (don't forget to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% in the SMS Shop!)

and 

Di's Digi Stamps - https://www.disdigistamps.com/

For this challenge I decided to create a cute Christmas card using the adorable Snowman and Friends Digital Stamp from Kinda Cute by Patricia.  He looks so happy surrounded by his little animal friends! I coloured the image with an assortment of Copics, Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers to match the Heartfelt Creations Paper Pad I've been using lately! I just love the pinks and teals for a little change up to the regular holiday colour scheme. 

I used a stitched square die to cut out the image and then layered it on top of the papers, ribbon, and an embossed piece of matching teal cardstock. Some Stickles and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins  add just a little extra bling for Christmas Cheer! (PS be sure to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% at the SMS Shop!)

Just Me Digital Stamps - https://www.etsy.com/shop/JustMEdigitalstamps

and

Polkadoodles - http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/

For this challenge I'm sharing the adorable Winnie Wednesday Skull digi image from Polkadoodles! You can purchase her as a digital image either coloured or uncoloured. I decided to colour her in myself, but the precoloured image is really cute too!

I used some Prismacolor and Hobby Colour markers to colour her in after printing the image on regular white cardstock. I always print in 'fast draft' to lay down a lighter amount of ink and since the lines are fairly fine this resembles a no-line colouring technique, which is always fun to try!

I used some Lawn Fawn and Simple Stories papers and grabbed diecuts from Your Next Stamp, Kaisercraft, Waffleflower and Sizzix to cut out various elements for this card.

Inside, I stamped a cute greeting from a Lawn Fawn stamp set with Distress Oxide Ink.

I popped up some of the elements with foam tape and used the Simple Stories Vintage Halloween papers to add sentiments and those cute pumpkins. A bit of gel pen highlights adds some detail to the image to finish it off.

Bugaboo Stamps - http://www.bugaboostamps.com

and

Fabrika Fantasy - http://www.fabrikafantasy.com/

For this challenge I'm using the adorable Sweet Unicorn digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps! I decided to colour him up with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour markers, which are alcohol based, in a light pastel colour scheme. I added some glitter to the clouds and painted on some sparkly wings as well as adding some white gel pen highlights. I used a Your Next Stamp scalloped stitched rectangle to cut out around the printed and coloured image.

I pulled out my September SCT Sampler pack and used a piece of pink paper from the Vicki Boutin Field Notes collection along with the fun sentiment paper from the My Mind's Eye Well Hello collection as a base for the card. I popped up the cute unicorn image with some foam tape to give some dimension.

I added some thread loops on the bottom and tacked them under a cork heart that I embossed with one of Emerald Creek Craft Supplies new embossing powders - Magical Mysteries Kiss of The Fairy and then glued on some gorgeous SpiegelMom Scraps Sequins (don't forget to use the code KARLA15 at the SMS Shop to save 15%)

Inside, I used sentiment stamps from Hello Bluebird and added some Your Next Stamp stitched cloud diecuts.  This card is ready to send to a friend to say hi or for a special occasion!

Sparkle N Sprinkle - https://sparklensprinkle.net/

For this week's challenge I'm using the super sweet Puppy Love digi image by Limited Runs. Is he not the cutest?!!  I coloured him in with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers, both alcohol based, and added a few white gel pen details. 

I used a Hello Bluebird die set that comes with the stitched frame and the hello diecut along with that tiny heart and layered them over the background sponged with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink. The SMILE and 'You've got mail' sentiments are also from Hello Bluebird Stamps and I love how they fit with the Happy Mail feel of the card.

Inside, I stamped a thank you sentiment with another Hello Bluebird Stamps set using Archival Ink and adding a tiny flower diecut, also in the die set above.

 I'm going to send this card to my daughter's teacher to thank her for a wonderful first week of school! Both girls have been over the moon about their teachers and starting a new year - so what could be better than that!
