Daisies

For my featured post on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog, I chose to create a birthday card. I never have enough on-hand, so it is always nice to create one when I can.

I chose Daisies as the focal point of my card. I thought they would make a sweet and simple birthday card.  I colored the stamp with COPIC markers. I traced an oval die around the image and cut it out by hand leaving the flowers outside of the oval shape. I used the Best Friends Etc set for the sentiment and stamped it directly on the white ribbon with StāzOn ink.  A few simple embellishments and it was finished.

Be sure to join in on our current challenge. You can win cash for the store. While you are on the blog, check to see if Rubbernecker Stamps will be at a show near you!

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!

Pretty

It is time for another challenge at Creative Knockouts.  The challenge this week is Sew It Up.  We want to see stitching on your project whether it is real or faux.

For my project I used Spring Flower from Star Stampz.  I colored her using Copic markers and cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I wanted to try something a little different for my sewing detail instead of just stitching around the edges of my paper.  I decided to string stitch some mini flowers together and use them like a banner on my card.  The banner has faux stitching, so it adds a little extra touch for the challenge.

Star Stampz has generously provided a prize of three images for the winner of the challenge.  You can click the badge below to pop over to the shop and look around.

Thank You!

It is time for the Sweet Sunday post over at Rubbernecker Stamps.  I decided to make a cheerful thank you card this week.

I had this scrap of polka dot paper left over from another project and I thought it would be the perfect starting place for this project.  I pulled out sweet little Clare and colored her with Copic markers to match the paper. The sentiment came from the Best Wishes set which is now available in clear.  You can also get a matching die set to cut it out! 

Rubbernecker Stamps now has a challenge and we would love to see you play along.  You have the chance to win cash to use in the store.  All of the new clear stamps and dies have been released, so some extra cash would be an awesome thing!

Beautiful Braid

This week at Creative Knockouts we bring you a dies cut and/or punch frenzy!  I love to use die cuts and don't use my punches enough, so I pulled out some of my favorites.

I have loved this image, Braid in My Hair, by A Day for Daisies for a long time.  I am so glad to have a chance to use it!  She was colored with Copic markers and I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut her out.  I always imagined this image colored in brown and blue and I love the way it turned out.

A Day for Daisies is our fabulous sponsor this week.  You have a chance to win a $12 gift certificate by playing along.  I was just over at the shop and there are some adorable featured stamps right now!  My wishlist just grew!  Click the badge below to add to yours.

I hope you will have a chance to play along with us this week.  I am excited to see all of your dies and punches.

The release this month is called Snowman Friends and should be available now in the shop.  They are all super cute!  Why not pop over to the blog and check out what my teamies came up with.  Their projects are all so awesome!  This was colored with Copic markers, cut out using the Silhouette and her wings have clear Wink of Stella on them. You might think that I printed the sentiment from my computer, but I actually have a stamp that says "frosty kisses"!  I got it a a rubber stamp expo near my house from Endless Creations.  I forgot about it and was I excited to see it!

You have the chance to win Sami Stamps images for playing along.  First place wins a $12 gift certificate and second place gets $8!  Why not give it a shot?!  I hope to see your sparkly creation!

Happy Anything!

Happy Anything is the theme for this month's challenge at Fabrika Fantasy.  You don't have to use a Fabrika Fantasy stamp, but there is always a special prize given from those who do use one.

I used Happy Chipmunk for my project and even though it wasn't intended, the color combo came out a little masculine.  I guess I can put that in the "for a boy" pile!  The little chipmunk was colored with Copic markers and cut out by hand.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Slang Gang set.

I hope you will come play along with us.  Happy Anything is just about as good as anything goes!

Silver and Gold

Hello and welcome to the last Corrosive Challenge post for 2016!  Seems crazy to think about it!
This challenge is Silver and Gold Christmas.

I used Merry Christmas from Mari Digis for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  She has gold and silver Wink of Stella on her Christmas tree.  I have also used a doily cut from gold mirrored card stock.  It is SO shiny in real life, but was horrible to try and photograph.  You can see some of the reflection when you enlarge the picture.  I also brushed some gold Wink of Stella across the petals of a white flower.  It add just a touch of sparkle and shine and helps to tie it all together.

We have two wonderful sponsors for this last challenge for the year.  You can click the badges below to pop over to check out everything available in the shops.

Let's Snuggle

This week at Creative Knockouts, the theme is Snow Much Fun.  We want to see your projects with a snowy theme!  What's more fun when it is cold outside than snuggling?!

This is Benson and Betty from Crafty Sentiments Designs.  They certainly are keeping one another warm!  They were colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the background using the Silhouette and the sentiment is a Silhouette cut file that I filled and printed.  The machine got a workout on this card!

This week you have a chance to win 3 images from the Crafty Sentiments Designs digital line.  You can click the badge below to pop over and check them out.

Are you ready to make it snow?!

Sweet Little Tara

It's my turn on the Rubbernecker blog today.  I decided to take a break from holiday cards and show off some of the other stamps Rubbernecker has to offer.

This is Tara.  Isn't she adorable?  You can find her in the shop here.  She was colored with Copic markers.  I combined some Spellbinders dies to build up a frame for her.  I hope you like her sweet little face as much as I do!

In Love With La La Land

I have finally gotten an La La Land Crafts image.  I have seen them for a while, but never gotten around to owning any.  That changed the other day when I bought Paper Doll Marci.

I colored her with Copics and a few Triart markers.  The flower is one I crocheted myself and I added a vintage button.

Since I can enter multiple times in the Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Guest contest, I am going to link this up over there as well.  Did I tell you I would love to play along?!
