Winter Friends

Welcome back to another challenge at Li'l patch of crafty Friends.  Our challenge is always anything goes.

Love this sweet duo of Winter Friends from Lemon Shortbread.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I took my color inspiration from the background paper which is from the Echo Park Winter Park collection available digitally on Snap Click Supply.

You have a chance to win three images from our sponsor for playing along.

Best Friends

This week at Creative Knockouts, our theme is Fancy Flourishes. 

I used the image Best Friends from Fabrika Fantasy for my project this week.  The nice thing about Fabrika Fantasy images is that you always get a colored image as well as black and white.  The colored images are great for when you need a quick card.  I used the colored image for my project today because work has been crazy!  I also pulled out a die that had the most flourishes possible!

Too Long

Our challenge at Creative Knockouts is to create a funny card.  I love puns, so I thought this was the perfect image for this challenge.

I used Long-Necked Giraffe from JustMe Digital Stamps for my project.  This is a new artist for me, and I am totally sold!  There are so many punny and adorable images in the shop!  This one comes with 4 different images and two sentiments.  I colored the image with Copic markers and used the silhouette to cut it out.  I oversized it to give the illusion of height.  With that long neck, the punny sentiment is perfect!

Friend

This week at Crafty Sentiments, we have a shaped card challenge for you.  No square or rectangle cards for this challenge!

I used Isobel from the Friendships Set 4 set and colored her with Copic markers.  I used a Silhouette cut file called Nested Stitched Fancy Labels to create the card base and the background layer.  I thought this was a super fun shape.  I had to get more creative with my layout though!

You have a chance to win some great prizes for playing along.

Hope to see you there!

Bunch of Bears

For my project on the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog, I pulled out a stamp I have had for a while but didn't ever get around to inking up.

This is Bunch of Bears and it was colored using Copic markers.  Thank goodness there are so many varieties of brown!  The stamp was cut out using the matching die and matted with one of the Nested Oval X Stitch dies.  Then I cut out another mat using the Nested Oval Scalloped dies.  It just didn't have enough detail behind the cross stitch die so I used one of the Nested Oval Small Stitch dies and ran it through my Cuttlebug on top of my embossing mat.  It gave the perfect embossed detail!  The sentiment is from the Freehand Border Phrase set.  I stamped just the word "friendship" from one of the stamps onto a banner tag.

Don't forget to share your Rubbernecker Stamps projects in the Facebook group.  We love to see them!

Springtime

Wow!  I cannot believe it is time for another post over on the Rubbernecker Blog.  It feels like I just did this! 

This week I used one of the sweet stamps from the Fox set.  It was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the matching die set.  The butterfly is also from the set as well as the sentiment.  I used the Circle Scallop with Holes dies as well as the Stitched Banner dies.  Some bling and lace finish it off nicely.

Come join us in the Rubbernecker Stamps Fans Facebook group.  We would love to see you there.

No Lion!

This month at the Fabrika Fantasy Challenge Blog, our theme is anything goes with the option of love.

I used Happy Lion and colored him with Copic Markers.  He was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. The sentiment is from the Fox set from Rubbernecker Stamps and the Banner die is as well.  This card was quick and easy and I kept the embellishments to a minimum.

You have a chance to win some great prizes for playing along.  You don't have to use a Fabrika Fantasy image, but if you do, you can win even more because you will be entered in a drawing for the projects that used a Fabrika Fantasy image.

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!

Thankful Thoughts

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner our theme is Thankful Thoughts.  We all have that one friend that would do anything for you no matter what.  We are thankful to have that friend and that is what inspired my card.

This is Autumn Girl from All Dressed Up.  She was colored with Copic markers and I kept the card simple this time.  The papers are from the Nitwit Collections On a High Note digital collection.

Colorful Place

Hello!  It is time for the Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post.  I have a sweet project that is quick and easy.

I used Be Yourself and colored it with Copic markers.  I cut out the image and mat using Echo Park Stitched Rectangle dies.  You can find a similar set at Rubbernecker Stamps.  The sentiment is from the Freehand Border Phrase Set.  I put a piece of scotch tape over the word "colorful" and inked the sentiment with black ink.  Then I pulled the tape off and used a marker to make the word "colorful" colorful!  I cut out the sentiment using the Nested Squares Small Stitch Die Set.  A bit of lace, a flower and tiny banners and it was done!

Autumn Friends

It is time for the new Crafty Sentiments challenge.  This week the challenge is anything goes!  That is everyone's favorite and we get so many wonderful entries.

I used this sweet stamp from the Teddy Jack - Father's Day set and colored it with fall colors.  This time of year is my favorite, but it is so very different in the south.  I miss the fall colors and the cool temperatures!  The leaf paper is from Dee Dee's Digis, which sadly has closed.  I colored this with Copic markers and fussy cut so I could get rid of as much white as possible to make this little scene.

You have a chance to win Crafty Sentiments images by playing along.  You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments product on your project to win, but if you do and you are chosen, you win even more!  Plus, you can be considered for the Crafty Sentiments Favorite which also has a prize of 1 image.

I hope to see you there!

Friendship

This week for the Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post, I decided to make a sweet friendship card.

I used Daisies and colored them with Copic markers.  I also used a bit of clear Wink of Stella on the circles blowing by.  The sentiment comes from the Create a Garden 3 set.

Come join us for our challenge.  You could win a gift certificate to spend in the shop.  You don't have to use Rubbernecker products to play along, but if you have them, we always love to see them.

Best Friends

This week for my Rubbernecker Stamps Sweet Sunday post I pulled out Owen & Jeter.  I decided to make a little scene for this pair.

I colored the stamp using Copic markers and fussy cut it.  The paper I used for the sky came from the Echo Park Celebrate Spring collection that is available digitally from Snap Click Supply.  Digital paper is so much easier to store!  The hills are all scraps of different green papers I had in my basket.  The rain drops are actually petals of a rhinestone flower that I broke off because they were the perfect raindrop shape.  The flower only had three petals left since I had used the other half for the same thing on a different card.  This scene was just perfect for the rest of it.  I used the Best Friends Etc set for the sentiment and just stamped it directly on the patterned paper.

Don't forget to join in on our challenge.  You have the chance to win a gift certificate to use in the store.  With all of the new stamps and dies, you will have plenty to spend it on!

Hello!  Welcome to my day to be featured on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog.  I have some bright, cheerful colors on my card for you today.

This is Clare and I thought she would look so adorable with these colors.  The are as bright and cheerful as her huge smile!  She was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I have really got to make some time to figure out how to use the PixScan mat for my Cameo.  It would make life so much quicker and easier.  I used the Best Friends Etc set for the sentiment.  I layered some lace and ribbon and popped on this doily heart and called it done!

Don't forget to have a play in our challenges.  You have a chance to win cash to spend in the store and with the new dies and stamps being released, you don't want to miss out!

Sami has such an adorable new release for you this month!  I am so in love with these sweet digis!  You can find them in the shop.

Aren't they just the cutest?!  I just had to color up Summer Flower Bee right away!

I think this card would make the sweetest friendship card.  Who wouldn't want to receive that swee smile in the mail?  This sweet bee was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I printed the sentiment.

The challenge this month is anything goes.  So easy to play along, but make sure you use a Sami Stamps image to be eligible to win.  You have all month to play!
