SSD at Creative Knockouts

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the new challenge at 

Creative Knockouts.

The theme is "Dry Embossing".

I used one of Lindsay's newest zodiac images for my creation.

"Cancer Portrait"

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers before fussy cutting
and popping on the embossed panel which was
created with a Darice embossing folder.
The DP and enamel dots are from Teresa Collins.
I stamped the sentiment a cut with a Taylored Expressions die.

I hope you'll check out this image and the others available in the store at
Sassy Studio Designs.
Oh, and be sure to check out the challenge at
Creative Knockouts too!

Jack the Pirate

Hey there everyone! Today I'm on the blog at

C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps

sharing a card I made using Charlene's newest stamp set.

Meet Jack!

I stamped Jack on white card stock with black ink and colored

with Spectrum Noir markers before fussy cutting.

I created the back ground with a pirate ship digital

image I found on the internet and colored with

Spectrum Noir markers. The treasure chest was also

found on the internet and colored with markers and gel pens

before fussy cutting. Jack was popped with foam dots.

I love the way it came out.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers.
The ovals and sentiment were cut with Sizzix dies.
The DP and enamel dots are from Recollections.

She was fussy cut and popped on an embossed panel with foam dots.

Happy Wednesday!

We have a fun theme for this week's challenge at

precut, electronically cut, manually cut, any kind of die cut!

Our sponsors this week are:

STAMPlorations

Prize: $10 Gift Certficate

My card uses precut die cuts that came with an Artful Card kit 

from Hot Off the Press. These kits are great as they come with

the die cuts and matching papers.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.

One large die cut label is backing the image and I added the

rose and flourish die cuts. The sentiment is 4 separate die cuts

included on the die cut sheet in the kit which I backed with one

of the printed papers included.

Love this cute image!

I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.

The background panel was embossed with 

embossing folder from Paper Wishes. I die cut 2 circles with Sizzix dies
before stamping with an Inspired by Stamping 
sentiment stamp and placed in the center of the embossed panel.
 The ribbon and bow were added before
"popping" the image with foam dots.
The tiny flowers were punch with a Marvy punch,
randomly added and finished off with tiny pearls.

We can't wait to see your Anything Goes creations at

Christmas in July Release

Today I wanted to share one of my DT cards for the

Beccy's Place

Christmas in July Release.

Beccy created 3 new Christmas sets that are available in her store now.

This card was made with the

Simply Christmas set.

Just think of all the possibilities for putting this set to use!
I used the pudding image for my card, which was colored with
Spectrum Noir markers. Then I added stickles for a little shimmer.
The "Happy Holidays" sentiment was printed and die cut.
I hope you'll check out this set and the other two new ones as well at
Beccy's Place.

Stamped the greeting, added some pearls and the bow.

CGC Christmas in July

It's Wednesday and that means another new challenge at

Crafty Gals Corner!

"Christmas in July"

Using "Christmas Shopping"

Our sponsor this week is:

Kenny K. 

Prize: 3 Digital Images

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir, fussy cut and popped on 
some die cut ovals cut with Sizzix framelits as were the banners.

I seem to be in a mode where I'm stepping away from using traditional
 Christmas colors. I kept some red but added in
 some pink and sort of a minty green.

My DP is from Recollections, as are the poinsettias and sentiment sticker.

We can't wait to see what you come up with and show us over at

Crafty Gals Corner.

Christmas in July

Happy Saturday!

So I've noticed this week that there are a lot of

"Christmas in July"

challenges going on this week.

What a perfect opportunity for me to share

a card I created using one of the new image sets available at

Beccy's Place.

Beccy is also running a Christmas in July challenge on her blog this month.

You should check it out and join in here.

I used the "Fin and Molly" set.

I loved coloring up this sweet couple using my

Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cutting.

They were popped on several layers of die cut squares.

I printed the sentiment which is included in the set and die cut.

The poinsettia stickers were added as the finishing touch.

Beccy has two other new Christmas sets available this month also

so be sure and check them out.

Happy Friday!

It's a happy Friday for me! I took the day off work!

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge at 

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards.

This should be a fairly easy one.

Create a card using 1 button & 1 bow.

Here's what I came up with.

Using Pretty Little Sailor

from our sponsor this time,

The Paper Shelter.

I love this image!
She was colored with Spectrum Noir markers, fussy cut
and popped on the ovals cut with Sizzix dies.
The DP is from Carta Bella's "Ahoy There" 6x6 paper pad.
I layered the flower button on 2 flowers punched with a Recollections punch.

What will you come up with?

Under the Sea

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another fun challenge at 

Crafty Gals Corner!

This week we would love to see your creations with an

"Under the Sea" theme!

 Our sponsor this week is

                                                 Sweet Pea Stamps

                                             Prize: $20 Gift Certificate 

Using Teresa Sherman's Marina

I really loved working with this image.

She was colored with Spectrum Noir markers and gel pens.

The frame was cut with some old Sizzix originals dies.

I placed the frame on top of the printed DP, which I have had

so long I can't even tell you what it is or where it came from,

but I had 2 sheets and cut some of the fish out of the 2nd sheet and

popped with foam dots on top of the 1st sheet on over the frame

for a little dimension. The mesh is from Offray and was

kind of an after thought. You know what I mean?

 I looked at what I thought was the finished product

 and then remembered I had this and thought it would work well.

The bling I added is from Recollections.

 Now take a look at what the rest of the DT

came up with and then link up your own creation with us at

Crafty Gals Corner!
