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

Thankful

 This month at Crafty Gals Corner our theme is thankful.  

This is Teddy 1 from Morgan's ArtWorld.  I colored the image with Copic markers and used a Queen & Co die to cut it out.  I cut out a matching die panel and cut it diagonally to offset behind the image for a pop of color.  The embellishments are wooden but were covered with some adhesive and then foiled with some Queen & Co fun foil.  It was a little fiddly, but SO worth it!  The sentiment is from My Favorite things from the Birdie Brown Greetings Galore set.

Tic Tac Toe

 This week at Creative Knockouts we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge for you.  Your project must contain items to complete at least one vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line from the table below.

I used the color blue, die cuts/punches, and ribbon or twine (lace works...I think!) and bling - glitter/sparkle/pearls, image, and die cuts/punches.

I used Umbrella Teddy from Bugaboo Stamps for my project.  I colored the sweet teddy with Copic markers and fussy cut the image.  There were so many fun accents on the image that would have been lost if I had used the Silhouette!  The background paper is from the Celebrate Spring collection from Echo Park available digitally at Snap Click Supply.  The raindrop is a petal from a rhinestone flower from the Michaels dollar bin.

Sparkle and Shine

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is make your card sparkle and shine.

I used Lady Sierra from Star Stampz for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I used a product that was new to me from Queen & Co for the gold foiled pieces.  It is called Fun Foil and it only requires adhesive to add the foil to a surface.  No heat, no toner...just adhesive.  Just make sure that you put the correct side on the adhesive...not that I am speaking from experience or anything. =P  I added clear Wink of Stella to her head piece, cape, and dress embellishments.  You can't see it in the picture, but it all has a great glittery sheen.
