Winter Fun

This week at Crafty Sentiments, our challenge theme is winter.  We don't get much in the way of winter and snow where I live, and I don't really miss it!  I do still love to make winter cards though.

I used Snow Ball for my project and colored it with Copic markers.  I kept it pretty simple so it would be suitable for anyone.  I have a container of little puffs from back when chalk was so popular.  They were used to apply the chalk so it would look soft.  Now they make great snowball embellishments!  I just got these awesome pierced dies from Rubbernecker Stamps.  They add a great detail without taking away from the image and I love the rounded corners!

Happy Blogaversary!

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner we are celebrating our third blogaversary.  How do we celebrate?  Well with a blog hop of course!  We have ten amazing sponsors for this challenge so there are a lot of prizes to be won.  The theme is anything goes so it is really easy to play along.

This sweet Snow Penguin is from Kitty Bee Designs.  I know Christmas is over, but a co-worker requested a Christmas card using this image when she saw me coloring it at work.  So he got to go to someone special.  He was colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is a Silhouette cut file that I filled and printed rather than cut.  The snowball is actually a puff from EK Success that is intended to be used for chalking.  It made the perfect snowball embellishment!

Dude!

I hope you all enjoyed the Crafty Gals Corner hop last week and meeting all of the new design team members!  But all good things must come to an end and we start a new challenge this week.  Our theme for you this week is Do It for the Dudes!  We want to see your male themed projects.

I used Pilot Duck from Sasayaki Glitter for my project.  I thought he was perfect for a little boy's birthday.  This sweet duck was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The background paper is from the Bo Bunny Sunkissed collection that is available digitally on Snap Click Supply.

Do you have that one tool that you just had to have and have never opened the package?!  Or opened it and used it once?!  Ages and ages ago, I bought one of the Fastenators from EK Success.  I finally cut open the package and used it on this project!  I wonder how long it will be before I pull it out again! =P  I have included a picture of one below in case you have no idea what I am talking about.

We have two awesome sponsors for you this week.  You can click the badges below to be magically transported by balloon to the shops to have a look around.  Please keep arms and legs out of the aisle and wear your seat belt!

Jewel

So...I have been doing this for a while now.  When I saw that Emerald Fairies was sponsoring the Creative Knockouts this week, I was surprised to know there was a digital stamp company that I actually hadn't heard of yet!  I popped over to the shop and immediately fell in love!  These stamps are so adorable!

I would like for you to meet Jewel.  Isn't she just the sweetest?!  She was colored with Copic markers.  She has clear Wink of Stella on her wings because a fairy named Jewel MUST sparkle!

The theme for this week is Winged Wonders, so anything with wings will work: fairies, bugs, birds...heck even an airplane!  If you play along, you have a chance to win a prize from Emerald Fairies.  Click the badge below to pop over and see the rest of Jewel's darling family.

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!
