Happy Happy

It is time for another Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post for me!  This is the time of the week that my entire team gets together to provide some amazing inspiration for you.

This week I have this adorable lad, Mick, to inspire you.  He was hanging out in my craft room just begging to be colored.  I grabbed my Copics and colored away.  I had these scraps of paper laying around from another project and felt they were the perfect background for this kiddo, so colored him to match.  The sentiment came from the Best Wishes Set.  By using just the "happy" from "happy birthday", I can give this card for any kind of celebration.

Come join us for the Rubbernecker Stamps challenge.  You can win cash to spend in the shop.  You don't even have to use Rubbernecker Stamps to play along.  If you win, you can add some to your stash and use them next time!

Just Dance!

It is my turn to bring a little bit of inspiration to the MoonFlower Blog this week.  I chose Gigi Flap Dancer for my project this week.

Gigi Flap Dancer was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I also wanted a mat for her, so I used the Cameo to cut that as well.  She has a touch of gold Wink of Stella on her hair pin, necklace, and waist pin.  Love all of the sparkle that little pen gives!  The pattern on the black card stock is actually foiled.  It was so hard to get a good picture.  Either there is too much shine or not enough.  There never seems to be a happy medium!  I found the sentiment among all of my Stampin' Up! stamps and thought it was perfect!  This could be a birthday card or just a celebrate a special event card.

You should join us in the MoonFlower Digital Stamps Facebook group.  There are so many talented ladies on the team and in the group.  It is a place to get a ton of inspiration and a sneak peek now and then.  I hope to see you there!

Celebrate

Hello everyone!  It's Thursday so that means it is time for a new challenge at Creative Knockouts.  This week we have an anything goes theme to get back into the swing of things after the holidays.

This week I used Party Cats from SLS Lines and colored them with Copic markers.  They were cut using my Silhouette Cameo.  This is the first time I have ever made a shaker card and I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  I learned a few things for next time, though.  I thought this card was awesome for New Year's but it also works for a birthday card.

I didn't have a star die, so I cut the star using a Silhouette cut file.  I used the same cut file to make the star frame as well.  The sentiment is also a Silhouette cut file.  You can't tell in the picture, but the paper is a gorgeous gold glitter paper.  It is a printable glitter card stock, but I don't think I will ever print on it.  It is so sparkly in real life!

SLS Lines is our awesome sponsor this week.  You have the chance to win three digital stamps from the shop.  Click on the badge below to head over and start making your wish list.

With an anything goes challenge, it is so easy to play along.  I hope to see your project in the challenge!

Star Stampz has a New to You challenge.  The Party Cats love their new shaker window and their new home on this card so they are going to play in that challenge. (both the digi and shaker technique are new to me)

Sassy Studio Designs has an anything goes challenge.  These Party Cats would like to play in that challenge.

Quirky Crafts has a celebrate challenge.  These Party Cats are set to go and are going to celebrate in the challenge.

Celebration Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to your next stop on the Meljen's Designs Celebration Blog Hop!  If you have been following along, you know that we are celebrating our 200th challenge!  Isn't that fabby?!

I am so glad you decided to celebrate with us!  All of the design team members have created a project with a celebration theme.  The best part about this celebration is you get the presents!  Each stop along the hop will give you a chance to win the image used on that blog!  Just make sure to leave a comment and an email so you can be contacted if you are the winner.  Believe me, there is nothing worse than not being able to contact a winner!  And as always, there is always the chance to win three images if you enter our challenge which of course has a celebration theme this week. =)

You should have come here from Nancy's blog.  Isn't her project wonderful?  I definitely think it is time to celebrate spring at this point in the winter!  If you just popped by and would like to start from the beginning, or if you have gotten lost along the way, just click the blog hop banner above to go back to the challenge blog.

For my project today I spruced up an old cigar tin that my husband gave me after emptying it.  I plan to use it as a gift card holder in the future.  I am not sure how I feel about cigars, but I end up with a lot of great boxes and tins to have fun with!

I really liked that the tin was gold.  Usually the tins are silver.  But those crazy pirates had to go!!

I used Little Bird's Song and colored it with Copics.  I nearly had a panic attack when I realized that I had put all of the elements on the lid upside down!  The box opened the wrong way!  Luckily, I was able to remove everything and fix it.  Those darn pirates were playing tricks on me.

The inside of the lid had the same picture as the cover so those pirates had to go too!

I left the sentiment oval blank because I am not sure what occasion this tin will be used for.  I will add the appropriate sentiment later.

Okay!  Now it is time for you to hop on to the next blog for even more tasty inspiration!  Next up on the blog tour is Robbie and I just know she has something wonderful cooked up for you!  Before you go, be sure to leave me a comment and include your email address.  You just might win your very own copy of Little Bird's Song!  All of the winners will be announced on Monday, March 17th.
