One Cool Babe - Slinky Tart

I know it's July and it's probably very hot where you are (it is here), so I thought I would cool things down with this fabulous image called Snowman CPR.

I printed her out and colored her with my copics. I cut her out using a Spellbinders Oval die and added some snowflakes punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. Of course, I added a little bling to the centers and also along the edges of my card. Just a note - the cardstock actually matches the copic colors much better in real life. I'm not sure if when I edited the picture the colors became a bit darker.

Please be sure to visit the Slinky Tart Blog for more inspiration from the other talented DT members or check out the Facebook Group and join me again in two weeks for another inspiration piece.

Very Merry - The Stamping Chef Challenge #61

It's Christmas Eve! Are you as excited as I am? Today is the last challenge of the year for The Stamping Chef and it's also the last month FOR The Stamping Chef as Tamara has decided to close up shop and start fresh in the new year with a new brand (details to follow so stay tuned).

Anyway, for my last card, I used Alyce. I printed her and colored her with my copics. I used the clear Wink of Stella pen on her wings after I colored to add some glitter.

I made the poinsettias using a Spellbinders die and edged the petals with some stickles.

As usual, the challenge is Anything Goes so feel free to use any digital image you like but you get bonus entries if you use an image from The Stamping Chef. All the rules are on the blog.

I hope you'll join us and in the meantime - MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sugar Pea Designs - Thanks Snow Much

It's time for the last challenge of 2014 at Sugar Pea Designs and the theme is ...

I decided to make a quick an easy thank you card, perfect to mass produce and send once the Christmas festivities have calmed down and you want to send a special note for a thoughtful gift given over the holidays.

I used the snowflakes from Merry Christmoose and Have an Ice Day to random stamp a background using white pigment ink and then went over it with some Perfect Pearls in white to give it a shimmery effect. I added a pearl to the center of each snowflake using a pearl pen. I stamped the sentiment from Have an Ice Day onto the die cut from the Gift Tag Die set and then used dimensionals to attach it to my card.

Digi Choosday - Last Minute Christmas

It's our final challenge for 2014 at Digi Choosday and the theme is Last Minute Christmas Gifts.

For my project I made a bottle tag and a little gift bag using paper, sentiments and the bow from the Festive Hollybobs Collection and from the pre-colored Winston Bear Celebrate from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection. This image is also available uncolored seperately HERE.

I printed several three of the bear images and cut out different parts of the bear and added some dimensional foam. I also added some glitter to their champagne glasses and to her pearls. On the gift bag, I added some stickles along the edges for added sparkle. You'll notice the bow was printed in two different sizes and then cut out and I added an added an adhesive-backed gem to the center for some holiday sparkle.

Sparkle Pink Peace

It's time for the last challenge of 2014 for In the Pink and the Pink Ladies have some beautiful inspiration for you so be sure to head over the In the Pink Challenge Blog and see for yourself. This week's theme is Pink Christmas and usual, your card needs to be primarily pink.

For my card, I used two die cuts - a Christmas tree from Memory Box and the Peace One-Liner die from Papertrey. I cut them from pink cardstock and then sprayed them with adhesive and doused them (and me) in pink glitter. I then sealed the glitter with a matte acrylic sealer and then sprayed the backs with adhesive and applied to my cardstock. The gems were the finishing touch.

I hope you will make a project and join the challenge by adding it to the linky. Thanks for stopping by.

Digi Choosday - Christmas Decor

This week, the theme for the Challenge at Digi Choosday is Christmas Decor and so I took the opportunity to make my yearly ornament for my daughter using this adorable little guy from the the Festive Hollybobs Collection. You can also get him separately HERE.

I printed him and colored him with my copics and then used a Spellbinders Oval die to cut him out. I used one of the Flower Soft Display Globes and added some chunky glitter along the edges and up along the sides to make it look like it was frosted.

I mounted it onto another decorative Spellbinders die and then added a couple of red adhesive pearls and silver cord for my hanger.

Baby It's Cold Outside - Sketch 17

It's time for a new sketch at Sugar Pea Designs and I hope you'll join us.

For my card this week I used the Frosty Friends stamp set but I masked off the little girl with a piece of tape and only stamped the snowman. I colored him with copics and then cut him out using the tag from the Gift Tag die set.

I used a little circle punch and some glitter to make the snow balls and some glittered felt for the snowbank.
