First Day Jitters

Good morning!

I am here today to share a card I created

using a new digital stamp set from

Beccy's Place.

First Day Jitters

What a great set this is that includes

- 9 black and white line drawings

- 6 word images / sentiments

It's perfect for sending well wishes to those 

starting school or a new job, but

the set will really work for any occasion!

Creative Craft Cottage Anything Goes

Hello, hello!

It's the 7th of the month and that means a new challenge at

Creative Craft Cottage!

The theme for this month is

"Anything Goes".

Our sponsor is

Oddball Art 

The Prize for the lucky winner is 3 Digi Images

using Kawaii Valentine Giraffe

I really like this sweet digital and thought it would 

make for a great baby card.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir ColourBlend Pencils and fussy cut.

I punched a tag, dry embossed and matted a piece of white card stock

to place the focal image on.

I printed the sentiment and cut into a banner.

I placed a paper doily behind the tag and sentiment and

on top of a piece of DP.

A pretty green bow was added to the tag as a finishing touch.

I hope you'll join us this month!

We always like to see what you create!

Girly Challenge at Polkadoodles

Happy Friday!

It's time for a new challenge at

Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge!

And this is my first post as a

full fledged member of the

Polkadoodles DT.

I have a Guest Designer for the last several weeks

but, was asked to join permanently and was

extremely excited to accept!

This week the DT is creating

projects with a "Girly" theme,
But the theme is always “Anything Goes” for participants.

I love the Helga images and decided to use one for 

an altered letter project.

Helga Hippo - Sitting Pretty

Helga Hippo Paper Heaven 2

I colored Helga with pencils.

I painted the back of the wood letter with acrylic paint

to coordinate with the pink color scheme I chose.

The paper was printed and decoupaged to the from of the letter.

I had some silk flowers in an old flower arrangement, so decided to repurpose some of them.

I added a dark pink satin bow.

I hope you'll join us for the challenge!

It would be great to see what you create!

Mother's Day Pop Up Box Card

Hi there!

Crafter's Companion!

Most of the products used are from the Vintage Tea Party Collection.

Vintage Tea Party "Tea & Biscuits" Dies

Vintage Tea Party "Toppling Teacups" Dies

Vintage Tea Party "Vintage Doily" Die

Vintage Tea Party 6x6 Paper Pad

The sentiment dies used are from Die'sire Essentials:

"Celebration Words" Dies

The dies from Crafter's Companion are great.

You get such beautiful detail with them.

And box cards are pretty easy to create and fun to put together!

I hope you enjoyed taking a look!

April Challenge at HOC

Hey there!

It's April 1st and that means it's time for a new challenge at

House of Cards!

For this month's theme we would like to see

CAS Floral Corner and/or Colors

I incorporated the CAS theme as well as some of the colors for my card.

I used a Sheena Douglass stamp set from Crafter's Companion

for the gerbera daisies and colored with Spectrum Noir ColourBlend Pencils.

The sentiment is also from Crafter's Companion - "My Sunshine"

Spectrum Noir Colorista Aqua Stamp Set.

I wrapped ribbon around the stamped panel, added a bow

and matted with kraft card stock. All is applied to an ivory 6.5 x.5 inch card base.

CAS is not usually my style, but I love the way this turned out.

I think I'll be playing with some more CAS designs in the future!

I hope you'll join us for the challenge!

We always love to see what you create!

Morgan's ArtWorld March Mid-Point Inspiration

Hello there!

We are at the Mid-Point of the

Morgan's ArtWorld Challenge for March!

I created a scalloped shaped Easter card using
"New Life".

The design is pretty simple, but 

I wanted to put the emphasis on the sweet image.

I colored the image with pencils and die cut in a circle shape.

The card base was die cut in 2 layers

and I added a white paper doily.

I computer generated the sentiment and 

printed on vellum and die cut un a banner shape.

The ribbon bow finished off the design perfectly.

I hope you'll join us.

The theme is always "Anything Goes"!
