Sweetie Pie

I hope you like doilies, because our new challenge at Creative Knockouts is Doily Delight.  Stop hoarding them and throw one or two or even three on your project this week!

This is Sweetie Pie from All Dressed Up Stamps.  She was colored with Copic markers and I fussy cut her by hand.  The sentiment is attached to the image, and I wanted to use it.  The Silhouette did not like it, so rather than fuss, I just fussy cut!

Two Little Mice

This week at Creative Knockouts, our theme is for the kids.  We want to see your projects for kids.

What a sweet image this is!  This is Two Little Mice from All Dressed Up.  I have two girls that are grown.  When they were younger, they always thought the other was my "favorite."  Now that they are grown, they know better, but it is still a joke with them.  My original thought for a sentiment was "Today, you are my favorite."  And on the inside it was going to say, "We will have to see about tomorrow."  Instead, I just thought a mother's love was the important thing for a child.

This image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.  The background is  gorgeous piece of copper vellum from Stampin' Up! that has been in my scrap box forever.  I love how you can see the pink through the open parts of the design.

Fairy Woodland

This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge to you is to finish the inside.  I never take the time to do the inside of my card when I do the card front.  Then when it is time to use it, I have to search for the paper that matches what I used on the front.  One day, I will give myself enough time to do both while I am working on my cards!

This is Magical Woodland from All Dressed Up.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  There is a bit of clear Wink of Stella on her wings because fairy wings should always sparkle!  Because I had four images on my sheet, I used the Silhouette to cut her out so I would have to cut the sheet apart.

I kept the inside simple and sentiment free because I never know for sure what I will be using the card for.  Some matching paper and embellishments and I called it finished! =)

All Dressed Up is our sole sponsor this week.  You can click the badge below to pop over and check out the shop.  Wendy always has a few freebies on offer and you can use them to play along in the challenges at the All Dressed Up challenge blog.  You have to use an All Dressed Up image to play, but freebies make it fun and easy.  Maybe you will win a few more!

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week the challenge is to use buttons on your project.

I used this sweet image from All Dressed Up called Hot Air Balloons.  It was colored with Copics and I fussy cut it by hand.  I was digging through my stash of papers for another project and came across a pad that had this paper in it.  I just knew it was the perfect backdrop for this image.  I pulled my colors from the paper.

Warm Hands...

This week at Creative Knockouts we have an anything goes challenge for you.  A great way to get back into the swing of things after the holidays.  When I am chilly, I love to warm my hands on a good cup of coffee! So using Warm Hands Warm Heart by All Dressed Up Stamps makes sense!

I also love using pink and brown together!  This little cutie was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiment comes with the stamp.

Love

Hello everyone!  It is time for another challenge over at Creative Knockouts.  Our theme this week is Love Is in the Air.  Time to get to work on those Valentine's projects and enter them in our challenge.

For my project, I used Love Is by All Dressed Up Stamps.  This cute little couple was colored with Copics and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.  The background is a Silhouette cut file and so is the sentiment.  I cut additional layers for the sentiment so that it has some dimension and thickness.

All Dressed Up is our sponsor this week.  Wendy has so many wonderful images in her shop.  Click the badge below to pop over to check them out.  You have a chance to win two images, so make a wish list while you are there.

Winter Wonderland

Welcome back to another challenge at the Creative Knockouts.  This week the theme is Winter Wonderland.

I used Christmas Post from All Dressed Up colored with Copics for my card.  This is the only way I want to see snowflakes, to be honest!  The snowflake paper is by Nitwit Collections and came from the gorgeous Winter Wishes bundle.  This is one of my favorite papers to use for winter themed cards.  The best part is it's digital so I can never use it up!!  The blue and silver papers have a metallic shimmer that I think makes for a great wintery effect.  The stamp was cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.  The garland, icicles and notebook page are all cut files as well.  I have had the snowflakes around the sentiment for ages.  I made a bunch of them for Christmas cards one year.  Vellum by itself was too transparent, so I finally came up with these.  I made them by crumpling a piece of aluminum foil and flattening it out again.  Then I ran a piece of card stock vellum through my Xyron and stuck it to the foil.  I ran the entire piece through the Xyron to make it self-adhesive and punched the snowflakes from the stack.  The foil makes the vellum opaque, and the wrinkles give a bit of a frosty effect.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.  I think it is from their Warren collection, but it is retired now.  I won a package of goodies from Enfys at Going Buggy, and this sentiment was in that package.

Our sponsor this week is All Dressed Up and you have the chance to win two stamps of your choice.  There are some wonderful stamps in the shop, so start your list now! Click the badge below to pop over to the shop.

Thankful for You

It is time for another challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  This weeks's theme is Thankful.  Your project can be anything you are thankful for.

I used Love Is from All Dressed Up for my card.  I colored the image with Copics and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I love using the Cameo for the out of the box technique.  The background paper is digital and is from the  Through the Year collection from Echo Park. You can find digital collections from Basic Grey, Echo Park, Carta Bella and more on Snap Click Supply.  I love having them digitally because I don't have to worry about my favorites getting discontinued!
