July 4th Wall Decor

Hi there!Today I'm sharing a 4th of July project created for Clear Scraps!

I am using 4 products for this project. 

Blank Wood Card

6 “ Fireworks Splash Stencil

Stars Chipboard Embellishments

Rocket Chipboard Embellishment

Start by painting the wood cards with white acrylic paint.

Paint the chipboard embellishments.

Stencil the fireworks onto one of the wood cards. I used acrylic paint.

Stenciling and painting is complete.

I tied the 2 wood cards together with baker’s twine.

Add star chipboard embellishments to top. A die cut star was also added. I created a bow with ribbons and adhered.

Complete the project by adding the rocket and a few die cut stars and July 4th.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope I’ve provided some inspiration for your crafting.

Celebrate in Style with Tori the Dragon

Hello there!

Today I thought I would share some inspiration for

Conie Fong Art & Design!

using Tori the Dragon - Up

I love this cute little dragon!

And, wouldn't a little boy love this card!

Tori is colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I fussy cut, surprise, surprise! It'd not very often I don't fussy cut.

Stamped the sentiment onto one of the balloons.

Popped the image on a simple background of a couple of rectangles,

a strip of card stock and a few enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you all have a great weekend ahead!

 

Pajama Crafters Sketch Change

Popping in this afternoon to share a card I created earlier today.

Pajama Crafter Stamps has a new Sketch Challenge going on

in the Pajama Crafters Stamps and Friends Facebook Page .

You have until June 30th to submit your creations using

Pajama Crafter Stamps products and this sketch.

The ink to enter is

https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=oa.704267138991212&type=3

Here's my take.

I pretty much used the sketch just as it is  but

if you've played with sketches before you know

there's a little leeway for creativity.

You can turn the sketch, use a different shape other than the circle, etc.

I used Dinomite Birthday Stamps for my card.

One of the cute dinos was stamped, colored with pencils and fussy cut.

The background was stamped with music notes from the same stamp set

and colored in with a glitter gel pen.

The sentiment is from the stamps set.

I added Opalescence Confetti Embellishments.

I added a music staff die cut using a die from my stash.

My 1st Craft Roulette Submission

 Hi there!

Do you watch Craft Roulette on Friday nights?

If you like challenges and have never checked this out,

you may want to give it a try!

I tuned in to Episode #270 this past Friday and

decided to create and submit a card.

Pajama Crafter Stamps is one of the sponsors for this month and

being on the design team, I used the

Lady Bug Gift Card Holder Dies for my card.

For each Craft Roulette challenge a wheel is spun in

4 categories: Project, Colors, Element and Random.

This challenges parameters were

Project - A7

Colors - 1980's

Element - Interjection!

Random - Include an Arch

My black card base measures 5 x 7 inches.

I used brightly colored card stock.

My Hi! sentiment is the interjection.

I created arches by cutting circle frames and adoring together.

Thanks for checking out my latest card project!

Birthday Celebration Card

Hello there!

Today I'm sharing my latest inspiration card for this month's

Polkadoodles Card Making & Craft Challenge.

The theme is

ANYTHING GOES.

  This card was created with 

Birthday Celebration Party Bundle.

I colored the cake digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

One of the patterned papers was used on the top part of the card.

The tag digi from the printables included in the bundle was printed and colored.

I printed one of the sentiments included in the bundle onto the tag.

The tag was fussy cut and added to ribbon and a bow.

Pearls were added.

Won't you join in this month's Challenge?
