Birthday Flowers

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the theme is anything goes.  I have been trying to build up my stash of birthday cards, because we use them at work for each of our team member's birthdays.  We have 25 people on our team, so that is a lot of birthdays!  So every chance I get this year, you will be seeing a birthday card!


This is Flower Pot and she is colored with Copic markers.  She has already been signed and is ready to go for the next birthday on Friday.

You have a chance to win great Crafty Sentiments prizes for playing along.  You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments image or stamp, but if you have them, we always love to see them.  Also, if you use one, you have a chance to win even more!


I hope to see your gorgeous project this week!

Pizza!

Over on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog is my inspiration project for this week. 


I used a number of products from the shop this week.  The image stamp is Ethel in Leotard and I paired it with Ate a Pizza.  I colored Ethel using Copic markers and used the matching die to cut her out.  I used the Nested Oval Small Stitch dies to cut out a background oval for her.  I also used the same ties to cut the edge of the sentiment panel.  I just threaded the paper through the die so it would only cut one edge. 

You should pop over to the blog and check out the current challenge.  You have a chance to win some cash to use in the store just for playing along.

Fairy Sweet

This week at Creative Knockouts we have an easy challenge for you.  It's anything goes, so we want to see your beautiful projects!


This is Fairy Scilla from Crafty Sentiments.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  Since she looked like she was sitting, I thought a nice lace border was the perfect thing for her to sit on.  She has a touch of clear Wink of Stella on her wings and gold Wink of Stella on the beads in her hair and on her shoes.

XOXO

Our new challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner is to add a heart.  It is the season of love, so we want to see hearts!


This sweet penguin is from Cute as a Button stamps.  He was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The sentiment sticker is from the Spellbinders June 2017 card kit.  I thought it was the perfect match for this background paper that is from the Echo Park Yours Truly kit that is available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

You Got My Heart

As Valentine's day approaches, everyone is thinking hearts and flowers.  So why shouldn't our projects as well?!  At Crafty Sentiments our challenge to you is to add flowers to your project.


I used You Got My Heart and colored it with Copic markers.  I cut it out using a simple stitched rectangle die from Echo Park.  I thought the simple shape matched will with the fancier doily heart.  The paper is from the Echo Park Yours Truly collection that is available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

Wish Big

As a kid, dandelions were so much fun!  Little did I know, I was spreading those seeds to all of my neighbors' yards and causing them grief!  But I loved making a wish on a dandelion!  I used this sweet image from Polkadoodles for my project for the new challenge at Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.


This is Dandelion Days from Polkadoodles.  I thought she would make a great birthday card!  It is starting to warm up, so I thought some spring colors would be in order for this card.  The sentiment was computer generated.

You have a chance to win great prizes from our sponsor, Polkadoodles.   Just click the badge below to pop over an have a look at the shop.  They have added some awesome dies as well as individual digital stamps and digital collections.  You will have a wish list a mile long when you get done!

You're the Best!

For my Rubbernecker Stamps project this week, I am bringing you a look at one of the new products that is available on the website combined with one of my favorite stamps, Clare.


Clare can be used for so many occasions.  This week I have combined her with lots of hearts and a sentiment from the Best Friends Etc set to make a Valentine's card.  Pink and brown is one of my favorite color combos, so I used it for this project.  This die set, Nested Circle Scallop with Holes is now available on the website. 

Don't forget about our challenge.  You have a chance to win cash to spend in the store and with all of the new products, you won't want to miss out.

Flower Power

Our theme at Creative Knockouts this week is flower power.  We want to see flowers on your projects!


This sweet image is Picked Flowers from A Day for Daisies.  I think she fits our theme nicely!  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I plan to add a sentiment, but I didn't know what I would use the card for.  I will add it later.

You have a chance to win a gift certificate for $12 to use in the shop.  If you click the badge below, you can start your wish list.  It won't take long!  I know mine is a mile long!
