Celebrate You

 This month at Crafty Gals Corner, our challenge is For the Girls.

For my project I used Gigi Flap Dancer from MoonFlower Designs.  She was colored with Copic Markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. Her jewelry was colored with gold Wink of Stella to give some great sparkle and shine.  The background paper is foiled, but it is so hard to capture in a picture.

Summer Fun

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the challenge is Anything Goes.

For my project, I used Teddy Jack - Bucket and Spade.  In my neck of the woods, summer has arrived and it is time to hit the beach!  I colored this sweet bear with Copic markers.  I didn't have a sand castle embellishment, so I used a Cuttlebug Embossable and an embossing folder that kind of looked like sand.

Walkies

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is Embossing Delights.  Use some type of embossing on your project.

I used Walkies from SheepSki Designs for my project.  Love this gnome walking his caterpillar!  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  Looking at it now, I wish I had cut out the extra white.  I used different embossing folders to create the scene for these two.

My Heart

Our next challenge at Crafty Gals Corner, is to add a heart to your creation.  It is the season of love, so what better theme?!

I used Anime Ava from Scrapper's Delight's for my project.  She was colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I used the Silhouette to cut her out originally, but made a miscalculation and had to fussy cut instead!  The glitter paper is from Dollar Tree.  This is the best glitter paper I have ever used.  It is smooth and does not shed!  If I ever find it again, I will definitely stock up on more!  The sentiment was the negative scrap from the card I made here.  It was laying on my counter as I was working on this card.  I thought it was the perfect finish!

Sending Smiles

Our new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner is embossing.  We are transitioning to a once monthly challenge, so you have plenty of time to enter.  Unfortunately, I forgot to look at the challenge theme before making my card.  Luckily, I was able to add some embossing without having to start over!

I used Happy Mail Panda from Kitty Bee Designs for my project.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The background paper is from the Bright Travels collection from Jenni Bowlin Studio.  You can find the collection digitally on Snap Click Supply.  The sentiment stamp is from DeNami Designs.

Love Is In the Air

It is almost Valentine's Day and love is in the air.  So that makes it the perfect theme for the new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  All you have to do is use a heart on your project.

I used Byron and LeAnn Winter from LeAnn's World 101 and colored it with Copic markers.  I used the Silhouette to cut it out.  I cut a scarf using a die from the Spellbinders Die of the Month club in a color to match the scarf in the image.

This week at Creative Knockouts, the theme is Embossing Delight.  Your project must have embossing, wet or dry.

This is Hauntly.  She is one of the Polka Dot Pals from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  As soon as I saw her I fell in love!  Of course I had to color her in my favorite Halloween color combo!  The background paper is from Carina Gardner's Halloween Haunts collection available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

Relax

This week at Crafty Sentiments, we want you to add a sentiment to your project.  The sentiment I chose for mine was "relax" which is something I haven't had a lot of time to do lately.  Work has been very busy and I can't wait until there is time to relax again.

I used Isobel Cool and colored her with Copic markers.  The sentiment came from a monthly kit from Spellbinders.  It is a vellum sticker so it didn't stand out against the background.  I stuck it to a piece of white cardstock and cut it out.  It stood out much better once I did that.

Hope to see you play along!

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.

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!

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.

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.
