Berry Best

 This week at Creative Knockouts our theme is anything goes.

I used Spring Strawberry from Star Stampz for my project.  The image was colored with Copics.  The sentiment is from the Silhouette Design store and I just colored it and printed it instead of cutting it.  I colored a white flower using the matching Copic marker.

You have a chance to win 2 images from Star Stampz just for playing along.  The badge below will take you to the shop for a browse.

Say Cheese

 This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is Birthday Greetings.

I used Birthday Cheese from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project.  While I was working on it, I had the idea to make the picture into a shaker element.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it took me four tries to get it right!  When making a shaker, be sure your frame is pointing the correct direction as you are gluing on the acetate and foam!

Time of My Life

 This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is love/Valentine's Day.

The team used The Time of Mine Life from the Paper Shelter.  I was pressed for time this week but every image from The Paper Shelter comes with a colored version and a background paper.  I used both for my project.  I am not sure how the image ended up being so small, though.  I must have mis-typed the size, but I didn't want to print it again.  

You have a chance to win three images from the paper shelter for playing along.  Check out all of the amazing images in the shop.  You get two black and white, two colored, a paper, and a composite with the paper and a colored image.

Snow Boardin'

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is to use die cuts or punches.

I used Snow Boardin' from Sheepski Designs for my project.  I colored this cute little guy with Copic markers and cut him out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I used a variety of landscape dies to create the hills of snow behind him.  Rather than having it completely white, I mixed in some sparkly blue glitter paper and some shiny silver paper.  It isn't mirror and is textured, but it has so much shine!  I considered using a sentiment but I couldn't decide what to use.  I think I am leaning toward winter wooshes. =P

Hug in a Mug

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is something to say.  Add a sentiment to your project.

I used Le Pine Margaret Coffee from Mirtillamente stamps for my project.  The sentiment is a Silhouette cut file that I have had rolling around in my craft space for ages.  I printed it and it didn't fit my project, but knew it would work someday!  I colored the image with Copics and cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo as well.

Winter Wishes

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is Anything Goes.

This adorable image is Huddle from SheepSki Designs.  I decided to try my hand at making a slimline card since it is the newest trend  I thought this group of penguins would be the perfect image for my first try.  I colored the image with Copic markers and cut it out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I used a little silver Wink of Stella on the sunglasses.  The background paper is from Echo Park Winter Wishes that is available digitally on Snap Click Supply.  My favorite part of this card is the sentiment.  It was made using a manual Dymo label maker.  You know the ones with the dial and the squeeze handle?  It had the exact look I wanted!  If you have one laying around but don't have any tape, you can also use it to emboss the letters on paper.  Just cut a strip the right size and feed it into the label maker!

This is Air Fairy from our sponsor Fabrika Fantasy.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  Her wings have clear Wink of Stella because a fairy's wings should definitely sparkle!  I cut some clouds from some glitter cardstock and the die from some shimmer paper to add tons of sparkle and shine.
