Under the Weather

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a new challenge ready to go for you!

CBC will feature a new Bingo card for each challenge and while this isn't your typical game of BINGO, you are required to use at least three items in ONE column.

We are a "just for fun" challenge where you will have the chance to proudly display our Winner or Top Pick Badge!

My choice is the "B" Column - Raindrops, Blue, Watercolor and Splatters.

I started with watercolor paper then went to work with different shades of blue watercolors.  Once dry, I used silver watercolor to create the splatters.  The umbrella, heart raindrops and sentiment was created using Rainy Days Stamp Set by Pretty Pink Posh.

So glad you stopped by and I look forward to seeing your creation!

Bee Mine - Finish the Inside

Finish the Inside is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

We have a fabulous sponsor so make sure to upload your creation for your chance to win a special prize from Rachelle Anne Miller!

The image, Bee Mine was colored with Copic Markers and framed with fushia glitter paper. The background was created with Distress Oxide Inks (Fossilzed Amber and Rusty Hinge) sprayed with Gold Shimmer Spray.  Once dry, I used the Honeycomb Backdrop die cut.

For the inside I used the same Distress Oxide Inks and spray and another Honeycomb die using the same fushia glitter paper. The sentiment is computer generated.

Happy Pink, Red and White Day!

A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges!

Our theme this month is Pink, Red and White - show us your creativity using those three colors in your creation!  

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will play along for your chance to proudly display our Winner or Top 3 Badges.

I created the background using Distress Oxide Inks (Lumberjack, Lipstick and Spun Sugar) and Sheery Shimmer spray and once dry.  I used my emobssing folder - backwards I might add but I used it anyways!  After mounting on white cardstock I used the Happy Love Day die cut, cutting out 3 layers of cardstock and the top layer in glitter paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you hop over to Get Creative Challenges for some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team!

Gnome Hello

"Something to Say" is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

We have a fabulous sponsor so make sure to upload your creation for your chance to win a special prize from Polkadoodles!

I created this card using the Polkadoodles image Spring Flowers Gnome.  I colored the image with Copic markers then had the task of fussy cutting (groan).  The image comes with an SVG file but I wasn't at home at the time of making so didn't have use of my Cricut.  

The Hello was stamped in Versamark and heated with white emobssing powder.  The set is How to Say Hello by MFT (no longer available). I added foam squares to the gnome and bee before affixing to the card base.  I would like to add a few more bees and will probably do so once I'm back at home.

Remember Saturated Canary?!  I thought Krista Smith was still selling digital stamps under her how name but I wasn't able to find her images anywhere.  She was on Etsy for a while but no longer, so sad.

I colored the adorable Xmas image with Copic markers and added some Stickles for a touch of glitter.  The papers are from the the Be Merry Collection by Pink & Main and the sentiment stamped in red.

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas project and make sure you check out the Design Team's creations for some inspiration and remember - projects must be Christmassy and have to be Cute!

Sparkle and Shine Underwear

Join me for our new challenge over at Christmas with the Cuties!  Sparkle and Shine is the theme for our MONTH challenge - don't forget, your creation must be Christmas themed and feature a cute image.  

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will continue to play along for your chance to proudly display our Winners or Top 3 Badge.

Back in the day, I purchased a digital stamp from Whimsie Doodles (so sad they are no longer in business) with a similar sentiment and pairs of underwear.  I recently came across a stamp set I Believe by Miss Ink Stamps and had to purchase it!

After stamping and coloring the pieces of under garments with Copic markers I fussy cut each image and applied foam squares to the back.  The sentiment was cut out using Circle die cut and framed using red metallic paper.  

I created the background using Floral Wave stencil also by Miss Ink Stamps along with Sparkle Stencil paste and Black Soot Distress Ink.  For some extra sparkle, I sprinkled some extra glitter on top while still wet and to finish it off, I added some sequins.

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas project and make sure you check out the Design Team's creations for some inspiration and remember - projects must be Christmassy and have to be Cute!

Merry Whatever!

Very excited to be a Guest Designer at CAS on Friday, thank you all so much for having me!

The theme for their new challenge is "Christmas with non-holiday items". Such a unique theme and I love it although I will admit I was second guessing myself! I think a cat with antlers fits the bill ....

I just received this stamp, appropriately named Merry Whatever by Unity Stamps.  It made me chuckle so I had to get it. 

I hope you have the chance to join the challenge!

Sweet Gingerbread Wishes

'TIS THE SEASON is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

We have a fabulous sponsor so make sure to upload your creation for your chance to win a special prize from Polkadoodles!

The image I used for this card is Cupcake Gingerbread Holly.  I colored the image using Copic markers and attempted a plaid design on the cupcake holder (truthfully this was my second attempt!).  After coloring I fussy cut the adorable image and started working on the shaker tag.

The tag was created using Gift Tags Dies by Paper Smooches.  I cut the inside using Labels One Dies by Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from the Snow Globe Sentiments by MFT.

Doh, I took the picture before adding some stickles to the icing .. well, you'll just have to use your imagination!
