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.  

You have a chance to win a $12 gift certificate for the shop just for playing along.  Click the badge below to check out everything available.

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.

You have a chance to win 3 images from Star Stampz for playing along.  Click the badge below to check out her shop.

Sweet Piggy

 This week at Creative Knockouts our theme is lots of layers.  I used my layers to create a fun scene.

This A Piggie's Happy Place from The Paper Shelter.  It was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  I had so much finding fun prints to make the hills and sky. This is one of my favorite ways to make lots of layers.  The Paper Shelter images also come with a background paper.  I loved the paper, but wanted to create this scene.
