Party Time!

This week at Creative Knockouts, our theme is Birthday Wishes.  I had a little extra crafty time, so I decided to be a bit ambitious!  I made a shaker card!  I almost scrapped it a few times during the process, but I am so happy I persevered.

I used Penguin Party from Hetty Clare for my project.  I colored the image using Copic markers and cut it out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I ended up fussing with a lot of the pieces for the shaker element and don't really have a clear idea of how I ended up where I did.  I know it involved a craft knife and multiple attempts at cutting the foam though!

Since the shaker element is kind of hard to see, I took a close up of it while it was flat.

Winter Scene

This week at Crafty Sentiments, our theme is Winter.  We want to see your depiction of winter.

I used New Winter Skates for my project and colored it with Copic markers.  I created this scene with vellum for the ice and glitter cardstock for the snow.  The sky was made with a paper with a pearl sheen to it.

Inside Job

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge to you is to finish the inside of your card.  I almost never finish the inside of my card when I first make them.  I usually wait to see what I am going to use it for.  So this was a challenge for me.

I used Cupcake Mouse from Mo Manning for my project.  He was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette cameo.  He has some silver Wink of Stella on the stars of his cupcake for a little extra shimmer.

For the inside, I repeated the image but just in black and white.  I also repeated the silver Wink of Stella.  I used some of the papers from the front and a glittery star to finish.

Winter Fun

The theme at Crafty Gals Corner this week is Winter Fun.

I used Snowboarder Girl from The Paper Shelter.  She is colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I cut some snow from a white glitter and an Astrosilver cardstock.  The clouds are from the Bo Bunny Sun Kissed collection available digitally on Snap Click Supply.  It is one of my favorite papers to use for the sky.  The sentiment is stamped on a cloud left on a scrap of the paper.

Warm Cuppa

At Crafty Sentiments our theme is Anything Goes. 

I used Jasmin - Warm Cuppa for my project this week.  We don't really use the word "cuppa" in the states, but I love that word!  I colored Jasmin with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from the Silhouette Design Store.  I just filled it and printed it rather than cutting it out.
