Chocolate!

This week at Crafty Sentiments we have an anything goes challenge and a new release!  I am using one of the new release stamps for my project today.

This is Love & Chocolates.  It will be available in the shop soon.  I colored it with Copic Markers.  I love brown and pink, so that was my color palette for this sweet image.  I used an older style chipboard word from Make it Crafty.  I have hoarded these for so long, but thought this was the perfect time to use one.  I embossed it with gold embossing powder for just a bit of shine.  I also colored the ribbon on the candy box with a gold Wink of Stella pen for just a little more shimmer.

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiments prizes just for playing along.  You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments product, but if you do, you will be entered in the drawing for the Crafty Sentiments favorite.

Hope you like the new release as much as I do!

XOXO

Our new challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner is to add a heart.  It is the season of love, so we want to see hearts!

This sweet penguin is from Cute as a Button stamps.  He was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The sentiment sticker is from the Spellbinders June 2017 card kit.  I thought it was the perfect match for this background paper that is from the Echo Park Yours Truly kit that is available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

You Got My Heart

As Valentine's day approaches, everyone is thinking hearts and flowers.  So why shouldn't our projects as well?!  At Crafty Sentiments our challenge to you is to add flowers to your project.

I used You Got My Heart and colored it with Copic markers.  I cut it out using a simple stitched rectangle die from Echo Park.  I thought the simple shape matched will with the fancier doily heart.  The paper is from the Echo Park Yours Truly collection that is available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

Forever

It is time for a little love and inspiration over at Rubbernecker Stamps.  I created this card using Lulu for my design team feature.

I colored Lulu with Copic markers cut her out by hand after tracing the circle die I wanted to use.  I wanted to have her pony tail outside of the die cut.  The sentiment is from the Best Friends Etc stamp set.  Some ribbon, lace, and embellishments and it was done.

Our challenges have started back up so be sure you check out the current theme.  You have a chance to win cash to spend in the store.  A bunch of new dies have been released, so cash to spend is a good thing!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  It is my turn to provide a little inspiration on the MoonFlower Digital Stamps blog.  Since I was posting on Valentine's Day, I chose The Longing Princess for my project.

The Longing Princess was part of the Fairy Tale line Andreia drew a little while back.  She is based on the princess from the Sinbad stories.  I was really excited to find a button with a ship on it in my stash!  How perfect!  I colored her with Copic markers and cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiment is also a Silhouette cut file, but I filled it and printed it instead.

A Spell

Welcome back!  It is time for another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week the theme is Sweetheart.  You must use hearts on your project.

When I started working with Apple Queen from MoonFlower Digital Stamps, I just wasn't sure how I was going to work hearts into the project.  Then from out of the blue, this sentiment hit me!  I knew it was just perfect.  Apple Queen is colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  Andreia, the artist behind MoonFlower Digital Stamps, did a recent cosplay of the Evil Queen from Once Upon a Time.  So I used the purple and black color scheme for this card. =)

(This was the costume she based hers on.  It was stunning!)

More Valentines!

It is time for a new challenge at the Corrosive Challenge.  February is the month for love, so our theme is Love Love Love.  Show us the love!

I used Valentine's Girl from Aurora Wings for my project for you.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The frame she is on was also cut on the cameo.  It was cut from printable glitter paper that has some gorgeous sparkle to it.  I found the paper on clearance after Christmas, so had to get a couple of pads of course!

Happy Valentine's...a Little Early

Hello everyone!  I have some exciting news to share!  I was asked to be a guest designer for the Art by Miran blog.  Well of course I couldn't say no!  I love Mi Ran's gorgeous girls and was so excited to get a chance to play along with her team.  Thanks for thinking of me!!

I used Heart Sign and thought I would go a little wild with some pink hair.  The papers I used are by Tracy Wray and can be found in the Art by Miran Facebook Group.  You will have to request to join the group, but the inspiration is totally worth it!  The sentiment is also included with the gorgeous papers.  I colored Heart Sign using Copic markers and used my Silhouette to cut it out.  That machine makes fussy cutting so much easier!

The challenge is always anything goes over at the challenge blog.  You have the chance to win up to four images if you use an Art by Miran rubber stamp or digital image to enter.  What are you waiting for?!  Get to coloring and go enter!

Thinking of You

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week our challenge theme is Love Is in the Air.  Valentine's Day is on the way and we want to see your projects with a little love.

I used Analiese by Nikki Burnette and colored her with Copics.  She was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  All of the papers on this card are from The Paper Temptress.  She has so many amazing papers.  If you are a paper hoarder collector like I am, you need to pop over to her website.  I used a piece of Cryogen White for the base card.  I would normally save this for coloring, but it was too small to fit through my printer.  The shimmer of the Cryogen White makes the perfect background for the Laser Silver Lustre background paper.  I was lucky enough to attend the Kit and Clowder craft retreat in Orlando and received a goody bag of papers from The Paper Temptress.  The Laser Silver Lustre paper was in there!  The red is a scrap of Red Pepper Thick Columns that I had left from previous projects.

We have three wonderful sponsors for you this week.  Click the badges to pop over to each shop to see what they have to offer.
