Twinkling Birthday

This week at Crafty Sentiments, our theme is Birthday.  I am always in need of birthday cards, so this is a great theme for me.

I chose to use Twinkle Fairy for my project.  Isn't the orange just so fun!  It is a co-worker's favorite color and this will be her card in December!

Baby Bump

This week at Crafty Sentiments we want to see a sentiment on your project.

I used Isobel Expecting and created a baby shower card for a co-worker that is expecting.  My sentiment was created using my new We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill.  It is so much fun and ads a great foiled touch to sentiments and images.

Pastel Birthday

Hello Crafty Sentiments fans!  This week we are challenging you with pastel colors.

I used Isobel - Strawberry Cupcake for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers.  There is some silver Wink of Stella on the cupcake wrapper for a bit of shimmer.  The background paper is from Echo Park's Birthday Wishes - Girl, available digitally on Snap Click Supply.

Tag! You're It!

It's Tag Time over at Creative Knockouts.  We want you to use a tag on your project. 

I used Picked Bouquet form A Day for Daisies for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I wasn't sure how to incorporate a tag, then I remembered I had this tag that was the perfect color for this project.  I pulled out some fun fibers to thread through the tag.  I thought it made a great sentiment as well as fulfilling the theme.

My Heart

This week at Crafty Sentiments Designs the challenge is to create a birthday card.  We always need them in our stash, so it is great when you can play in a challenge as well.

This is My Heart Cake and it was colored with Copic markers.  I colored the image and then found this digital paper that I had printed but not used.  It was the perfect color palette for this card!

Summer Play

Summer is almost here and we are celebrating the arrival at the Crafty Sentiments Challenge.  We want to see your summer projects.

Is there anything better than being barefoot in the summer?!  I don't think so and I think Isobel agrees with me!  This sweet girl is from the Welcome Spring Set 2.  The best thing about this card is I used up three scraps of paper!  One of these days, I will empty my scrap basket.  I colored Isabel with Copic markers and fussy cut her so I could create this little scene.  The cloud paper is from Bo Bunny's Sun Kissed collection that you can purchase in digital form at Snap Click Supply.

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiments prizes for playing along.  If you use a Crafty Sentiments stamp or image and are chosen as the random winner, you win even more!

I can't wait to see your summer projects.

Birthday Wishes

Welcome back to another challenge at the Creative Knockouts!  This week the challenge is Birthday Wishes and we always need to have a stash of birthday cards on hand.  So play along with us!

My project for this week uses Scribbled Floral 1 from Fred She Said.  I know! I know!  Try not to be too shocked!  This one is pretty simple, but I like it!  I knew I had these tags and when I pulled them out I couldn't believe my luck in how well this one matched!  They are double sided, which is just two of them stuck together.  I separated them and have a second one to use another time.  Got to make that crafty stash stretch you know!

Fred She Said is our sole sponsor this week.  You have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate just by playing along and adding to your stash of birthday cards.  Click the badge below to pop over to the shop.

Sparkle and Celebrate

Hello everyone!  It is the beginning of a new challenge at Creative Knockouts.  The theme for this week is sparkle and shine.  Break out all of your fabulous, sparkly papers, embellishments, and inks and go to town!  We want to see it all!

I used Birthday Betty from Art by Miran for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The mat was also cut with the cameo from a wonderful pearly blue paper.  You can see some of the sheen in the picture, but it is so fabulous in real life.  The heart doily is also has a great shimmer to it.  I meant to add Wink of Stella to the ribbon before taking the picture, but rest assured, the ribbon is super sparkly in real life now!  I also thought the metal word sentiment was perfect for this challenge since it is shiny.  I have had a package of them forever and finally got around to using one!

Art by Miran is our sponsor this week.  Mi Ran has so many wonderful stamps in her shop on Etsy.  Click the badge below and check them all out.

You have a chance to win the prize of 3 digis just for playing along.  I hope to see your sparkly creation!

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.

Thinking of You

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week our challenge theme is Love Is in the Air.  Valentine's Day is on the way and we want to see your projects with a little love.

I used Analiese by Nikki Burnette and colored her with Copics.  She was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  All of the papers on this card are from The Paper Temptress.  She has so many amazing papers.  If you are a paper hoarder collector like I am, you need to pop over to her website.  I used a piece of Cryogen White for the base card.  I would normally save this for coloring, but it was too small to fit through my printer.  The shimmer of the Cryogen White makes the perfect background for the Laser Silver Lustre background paper.  I was lucky enough to attend the Kit and Clowder craft retreat in Orlando and received a goody bag of papers from The Paper Temptress.  The Laser Silver Lustre paper was in there!  The red is a scrap of Red Pepper Thick Columns that I had left from previous projects.

We have three wonderful sponsors for you this week.  Click the badges to pop over to each shop to see what they have to offer.
