Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 322

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 322

-Baking-

Here's my card for the challenge!

First of all, let me say, I LOVE this little Gingerbread
gal! I printed two of these digis so I could cut out an
extra bow for my cute ginger gal. I picked out my
papers first so I could decide how to color the image. 
Sometimes I do things really weird when I'm creating.

I colored the image with Copics. I added sparkle pens 
to the white on the gingerbread gal and my little dots 
on the cardstock. I colored the extra bow, making a 
checked design. I added a pop dot to the back to raise it 
up for added dimension. 

I die cut her into a circle before adding the bow so it

would overlap the green part of the circles. I added

some funky Christmas twine, popping up my sentiment

on top of the twine. I made a twine bow and glued

it down to complete the card.

CYP Challenge 341

Craft Your Passion Challenge 341

always

Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge 341

I decided I needed to do a Pop-Up card with this

adorable digi image from Crafty Sentiments Designs.

I cut my main card, the long way...4 1/4 x 11. I 

folded it in half and cut a "wave" about 1/2 way down 

the front, to make a snowy hill appearance. I colored

my snowman using Copics...I made the bird a Cardinal. 

Then I fussy cut the image out and that certainly

took a bit of time. lol. Boy, I love die cuts...when available.

I used a tree stamp from A*muse Studios to create my

woodsy background. I stamped, and stamped off, 

many times. I used a sponge to fill in the greens and 

 sponged some colors to the sky, as well, but it didn't 

show up in the photos decent. Oh well. After my

image was cut out 

I made the pop-up piece. I took a strip of cardstock

cut about 2" by 3/4" and folded it in quarters, making

a square. (Similar to the pic) I attached the square, on 

the fold and top of my card. attached my snowman to

the front of the pop-up square accordingly. I used Stickles 

to add the sparkly snow to the trees, snowman and the hills. 

The sentiment was added to the front using mounting tape.

Boom, done!

CYP Challenge 339

Craft Your Passion Challenge 339

always

Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge 339

First thing I did here was cut out a mountain line. 

I used it for my mask so I could take FSJ Pan Pastels

and create my colorful sky. I removed the mask and

then used it for a layer of raised mountains in front.

You can't really see the dimension but it's there. :-)
I used Stickles to make my snow on the mountain peaks.
I colored my Polar Bears (Two Cubs and Momma) from
ADFD. I'm a HUGE Polar Bear lover and these cuties
are awesome!! I used pop dots to raise the bears and I
stamped my sentiment and put together my layers. 

Here's a big THANK YOU to this week's sponsor!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 319

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 319

-All About The Words-

Here's my card for the challenge!

Obviously I wanted to highlight the words in some way so

I thought that using the Thank You sentiment as a framing

border was a decent idea. I just stamped the words and 

my delicate floral center with black ink. I just wanted a

hint of color so I used my Copics to color the tiny

 flowers and leaves. FSJ Glaze was used on the leaves 

and flowers. 

The glaze added a nice shine and pop. Naturally I had
to add a few crystal gems before I began putting my
card layers together. It was a really simple card 
but I think it the simplicity is what makes it lovely.

Craft Your Passion Challenge 337

Craft Your Passion Challenge 337

always

Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge 337

 I basically made this card white on white. I die cut the
sweet tree line and added some layers of "snowy hills". 
I used Fun Stampers Journey Pan Pastels for the 
sky and snow colors. I used a pale blue and lavender.
I colored my cute little snow guy using Copic markers.
I took a silver pen and colored the buttons and the 
band on the ornament. Some puff and Stickles to his cap. 
Naturally, as long as I had the Stickles out I made use
of it all over my snow. I fussy cut my snowman and 
raised him, and some of the snow layers, using pop
dots and mounting tape. I nice little "Peace on Earth"
sentiment (A*muse) stamped in black and DONE!

MFP Stamps Challenge 44

MFP Stamps Challenge 44

 Great news! 

ALL of MFP Challenges are now 

ANYTHING GOES!

Here's my sample card as a design team member 

for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

I started this card by sponging inks onto 

GLOSSY cardstock. I used die base inks. After I
let the ink set/dry I stamped 3 images with
VersaMark and black embossed them. I stamped
my sentiment using StazOn. Journey Glaze was
used on each flower for some dimension and shine.

After the glaze dried I added my ribbon and black

twine. I put my layers together and completed the

card by adding a few "dots" embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by and consider following my blog.

Now my card for Day 4

For this card I first picked out my designer

paper and cut it at an angle and attached it to a

piece of white cardstock, leaving a space between

the two so I could stamp my sentiment, 3x, through

the space. I added some ribbon and bow along

edge of the lower piece of designer paper. Then

layered it all on a matching rose colored 

cardstock and then onto the main white card.

I used the stamp set Dogwood Blossoms from MFP.

Now my card for Day 3

This was a fun card to create. I found my cute little turkey

and decided that I needed to paper piece him. I did color

his hat, feet and beak area with Copics. I cut him out and

set him aside until I made my hills, sponging the edges 

with brown ink. I was trying to decide what to do 

with the sky when I found the leafy designer paper. 

I thought that the sky around my house looks like that 

a lot in the Fall. :-) I used a word bubble die cut for the 

Thankful sentiment and added the main sentiment right 

to the "hill". lol THANKS for stopping by! 

I used the stamp set I Am Thankful from MFP.

Now my card for Day 2

Any card that requires my coloring "skills", and I use

that term loosely, it takes me lots of time. This rose

was no exception. I fussy cut it out and raised it up

on my pink checked designer paper, after I added

my sparkly green (yes, it's green) ribbon. I just

added my sentiment to the lower corner and that was it!

I used the stamp set ROSES from MFP.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 317

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 317

-Add a Border-

Here's my card for the challenge!

Our sponsor, Conie Fong Art has some super cute 
images. Be sure to go visit them and check them all out.
I picked "Joy To The World" to create my card. 
I just wasn't sure what border, or type of border 
I wanted to use with this cute little penguin. I finally
settled on leafy vine border adding a couple of 
poinsettias in the corner. I colored my little icy 
friend with Copics and embossed the main white
piece of cardstock. The rest was all just different
layers of cardstock. I added a dotted edge/border
around the penguin. I used a sparkle pen to bling
up the snow, furry hat trim and the "JOY".
