Birthday Balloon

This month at Fabrika Fantasy, our challenge is to create a shaped card.  No square or rectangular cards this time around.

I used Cute Bear Cub 1 for my project and made a balloon shaped card using my Silhouette Cameo.  I colored the bear with Copics and also cut him out using the Cameo.  I plan on stashing this card to be used for one of my male co-workers, so I kept it relatively simple and frilly free.

You have a chance to win Fabrika Fantasy prizes for playing along.  You don't have to use a Fabrika Fantasy image, but if you do, you will be entered into a special drawing just for those projects that have used one.

Card measures approx. 4.25" x 5.5"

Celebrate!

We have another new challenge starting at the Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  It is always anything goes and we love seeing your beautiful projects.  You may have noticed I have been making a lot of birthday cards recently.  I provide a card for each co-worker for their birthday.  That's a lot of birthdays as we have 26 people on our team.  I have to keep a supply going or I will have to scramble!

This is Girlz Celebrate from Bugaboo stamps.  That is quite the cupcake!  How would you feel about a a cupcake like that one?!  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. 

Bugaboo is our sole sponsor this challenge.  You have a chance to win 4 images from the shop.  Go take a look by clicking the badge below.

Forever

Welcome back to my Rubbernecker Stamps feature for this week.  I am featuring one of the new clear stamp sets. 

I used the Wedding stamp set and colored the stamps with Copic markers.  I stamped the dress first and then masked it using a sticky note then stamped the tuxedo.  I used teal accents because that was the color of the dresses in my wedding. =)  I cut the image out using the Nested Oval Small Stitch Dies but there is a matching die set so you could use that as well.  The stitched oval was then matted with a Nested Scallop Oval die cut from some gorgeous gold paper.  The sentiment is from the Best Friends Etc set and was stamped with gold ink.

Spring Swing

This week at Creative Knockouts, our projects take on the outdoors.  Our theme is Outdoor Fun so show us what you've got!

I used Spring Swing from our sponsor The Paper Shelter.  This sweet girl and her friend were colored with Copic markers.  I wanted to make the swing look like it was hanging from the die.  I added a touch of grass so that it didn't look like she was floating.

You have a chance to win a great prize of three images from The Paper Shelter.  They have some gorgeous designs and almost all of them come with a colored image and background paper to match.  You can click the badge below to check it out for yourself.

Lots of Ladybugs

The new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner is anything goes.  I know how you all love an anything goes challenge, so I am limbering up my fingers in anticipation of all of the commenting I will be doing on your lovely projects.

I used Ladybug Stack from Bugaboo Stamps for my project.  I colored the image with Copics and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I bought the flower embellishments ages ago.  They are from Jolee's Boutique and are sort of flexible.  The kind of smell like crayons.  I have no idea what they are made of, but it was the perfect embellishment for this card! 

We have several sponsors this week, so lots of chances to win prizes.  Click the badges below to go to each shop.

Primrose

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the challenge to you is anything goes.  It is always a favorite and I love to see the variety of projects that get entered into the challenge.

I used Primrose - Garden Flowers and colored her using Copic markers.  I added a little bit of white gel pen to her boots and gloves to add a bit of pattern. 

I bought the watering can charm ages and ages ago.  I didn't have a project in mind but it was on clearance and I knew one day I would find the perfect project.  I pulled one of my colors from the can so that it would be the perfect match.  I also used some silver Wink of Stella on her watering can and planter for a great touch of shimmer.

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiments prizes for playing along.  You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments image to play, but if you do you have a chance to win even more great prizes!  Plus you can be entered into the Crafty Sentiments Favorite prize drawing just for projects using a Crafty Sentiments product.

Who Run the World?!

It's my turn on the Rubbernecker Blog.  Time flies when you are having fun, doesn't it!  Or when you have a lot of stuff going on!  I can't believe it is time for a new post already!

For my project this week, I used Daniella, who seems to like to shop until she drops!  I cut her out using her matching die and paired her with a sentiment that seemed perfect to me!  Right Pair of Shoes just seems to fit Daniella!  I used the Rounded Corner Rectangle with Pierce dies to cut out the sentiment and a panel to pop Daniella on.  I wonder what other goodies she has in those bags!

Don't forget to check back for more inspiration from my design teamies.  They always have something gorgeous happening.
