Style Remains

Hello Rubbernecker fans!  This week I have made a project for you using Fern.  You can see her featured over on the Rubbernecker blog.


I colored Fern with Copic markers and cut her out using her matching die.  Then I cut a panel using the Rounded Corner with Pierce dies.  I also cut the sentiment out and then cut off the edge with the piercing so I could make a mat for it in kraft.  The sentiment is Fashion Fades.  Some embossing and some gems finish this card off.

Don't forget to check out our challenge while you are visiting the blog.  You can win some cash to spend in the store.

Chirp!

Welcome back to another challenge at Creative Knockouts.  This week the theme is doily delights.  Break out your gorgeous lacy doilies and show them to us!


This is Bonnet Birdie by Bugaboo Stamps.  You can find it exclusively in the Sparkle and Sprinkle shop.  It even comes with the sentiment!  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I bought a package of the doily hearts from a shop in Finland.  Luckily I have a huge stack of them!  I can't really pop out and buy more.

You have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate from our fabulous sponsor.  There is more than just digital stamps on their website, so click the badge below to check out the shop.

Smiles

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner our challenge is anything goes.  It is always a favorite so I can't wait to see what you come up with.


This is Sunny Bunny from Oddball Art. It comes with several sentiments as well as the image.  I just thought it was the sweetest!  I wanted to try to make it look like the swing was hanging from the card. It wasn't quite the way I envisioned it, but I think it is sweet anyway.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  I had to fiddle a little bit to get the inside cut, but I finally managed!

Birthday Love

This week the Crafty Sentiments challenge is anything goes.  I decided to add to my birthday card stash using this sweet digi.

Very Best!

There are so many cute new stamp sets being released by Rubbernecker Stamps.  You can see my project using Hippo over on the blog.


Hippo is a new clear stamp set.  These clear stamps make a crisp impression every time.  They clean up so easily too!  I stamped this sweet hippo from the set and then created a mask using a sticky note so I could stamp the flower.  This set comes with a number of little accessories for the hippos.  A little Copic coloring and it was done!  I also used the Nested Stitched Circle dies and the Nested Circle Scallop with Holes.  I bought a package of the heart dies when I was visiting family in Finland.  I lost the part of the package that had the name of the manufacturer though.  The sentiment is from the Best Friends Etc stamp set.

While you are over on the blog, check out the current challenge.  You can win cash to spend in the store! With all of the adorable new stamp sets, that is the perfect prize!

A Mouse for Tea

This week at the Creative Knockouts challenge you need to use lots of layers on your project.


I used Tea Mouse from our sponsor, Sasayaki Glitter.  What a  cute little guy to have over for tea.  I am not much of a tea drinker, so I would be sipping some coffee out of that tea cup while gobbling down those cupcakes.

You have a chance to win one image from Sasayaki Glitter for playing along.  Which one will you choose?!  Click the badge below to check them out and pick your favorites.

Button up!

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner our challenge is for you to use buttons.  I have a million or so buttons, and haven't been giving them any crafty love, so this was a good chance for me to dig through my stash.


I used Isabella Sunny Days from Rick St. Dennis and colored her with Copic markers.  I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut her out.  The sunflower buttons have been in my stash forever.  They were the perfect addition for this card.

Presents!

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the theme is Only for Girls.  Don't worry.  The boys will have their time to shine as well.


This is Opening Presents.  I colored the stamp with Copic markers.  I ended up having to fussy cut because it was just s smidge bigger than my die.  And as you can see, I am continuing to try to increase my stash of birthday cards.  Unfortunately, I seem to be using them as quickly as I make them!  So you will have to bear with me a little bit longer!

You have a chance to win great Crafty Sentiments prizes for playing along.  If you use a Crafty Sentiments stamp or digital image, you will be entered into a special drawing just for the projects using a Crafty Sentiments project.  If you are chosen as the random winner, you will win three images instead of one!

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.
