Lady Bird

This week at Crafty Sentiments, our challenge is Spring Is Coming.

I used Lady Bird and Butterfly for my project.  She is a digital stamp so I cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo.  She was colored using Copic markers.  I had a little fun making the flight trails for the lady bugs.

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiments prizes for playing along.

Halloween Flip Card

Wow!  Another Rubbernecker Sunday!  I cannot believe how fast this month has flown by!  I am featuring one more Halloween card using Rubbernecker stamps for the team post this week.

I decided to make a z-fold flip card this week.  I bought a die ages ago that makes this a simple task and I have never used it.  I figured it was time!

I used the spider and web from Halloween Set One for the front of the card.  I had this paper that was the perfect complement!  

On the inside of the card I used the witch, also from Halloween Set One.  The sentiment is from Halloween Set Three.  When you open the card all the way, the sentiment is below the witch, so it is two cards in one!  I added a bit of lace to the inside, because I love my lace and ribbon, but there was no way to add it to the front!

This was a lot of fun to make and I am sure it will not be the last time I use that die!

Lady Bird

Hello!  I have an inspiration project for the Crafty Sentiments Designs challenge blog for you today.  The theme is use pearls or gems.  Those are two of my favorite things!  I used the image Lady Bird and Butterfly.  Here in the US, we call them lady bugs, but I love lady bird so much more!

Isn't she just the sweetest?  You can find Lady Bird and Butterfly in the shop.  She is a digital image and so it is always fun to use the out of the box technique.  I love the Silhouette Cameo for that job.  That machine makes it so easy!  I felt that a red, black and white color combo was a great choice for this image.  I wanted to add some lady birds, so I left a border on the side so I could doodle a few trails and add my lady bird stickers.  You can't tell in the photo, but the black mat is a glitter card stock.  I couldn't get it to show in the picture.

Three digital stamps of your choice are on offer as a prize, so pull out those pearls and gems and get to work.  You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments Designs stamp, but if you have some, we would love to see them!

Witches and Ghouls and Goblins! Oh My!

Welcome to another Crafty Gals Corner challenge!  This one may have you seeing things that go bump in the night!  The theme this week is Witches, Ghouls, Goblins.  As Halloween gets closer, you wouldn't expect anything else.  Would you?!

I used Witch and Whiskers from Sami Stamps for my project.  The stamp is colored with Copic markers.  The frame is a Silhouette cut file.  I cut the stamp using the shape from the cut file so that it would fit perfectly.  If you hadn't noticed, I used paper straws as part of my embellishments.  I wish I could take credit for this fabulous idea.  I saw it somewhere online and loved the idea.  I wish I knew who it was so I could give them credit for the inspiration!  Whoever you are...thank you!!

We have two fabulous sponsors this week.  You can click the badges to pop over and see all of their wonderful art.
