Twisted Tuesday Challenge #71 - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Are you having a good week so far?  Hope so!  I've been busy already, but today I have something exciting to share with you!  After winning a challenge a few weeks back, I was invited to be a Guest Designer for today's new Twisted Tuesday Challenge.  Fun, right? You bet!  The theme is "live a clean, green life".  The challenge is to keep your project clean (no distressing or inked edges, etc.) and the twist is to use green.

Here is what I came up with:

My card base and mats are SU Certainly Celery and the patterned papers are from my scrap bag.  I think the top one is GCD Studios Happiness and the bottom one is from Kaisercraft.  The fun image is Uptown Girls Madison Has A Margarita from Stamping Bella.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the trim on her dress and her hair ties and Glossy Accents to the glass.  I left off the sentiment until I decide on who will get this and for what occasion.  A simple punched border and ribbon and bow finished my clean, green card.

 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the new Twisted Tuesday Challenge!  I'm sure the team would love to have you play along!

I am entering my card in the following challenge:
7 Kids College Fund Challenge #94 (anything goes)

Have a great day and see you soon!

Sending You A Hug

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway to the weekend!  Yay!  It's been another busy week so far, but I did manage to sneak a little crafting in, so I'm here to share the card I made for a couple of challenges.  My card is for The Digi Bells DT April Blog Hop (spring flowers), the new April/May Challenge on Elizabeth Bell's World (spring is in the air - spring colors and flowers), 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #46 (make it cute) and Sweet Sketch Wednesday #151.

Here is SSW-151:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Lovely Lavender and layered with soft, flowery papers from the Prima Meadowlark 6x6 pad.  My Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Happy Mail.  You can find it in the 7 Kids store here.  I definitely think this qualifies as cute!  I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  I added White Opal Liquid Pearls to the daisy centers and Buttercup Liquid Pearls to the scalloped frame.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Some yellow sheer ribbon and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose finished my card. I think I covered all the bases - the sketch, the cute and the spring colors and flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  See you tomorrow for another fun Mo's DP2 Challenge!

Kindness

Hi again!  I know...first I'm not here at all and then I come twice on the same day!  I managed to finish a card for a few challenges I like and figured I'd go ahead and get it posted.  It's for Just Magnolia and hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge #151 (anything goes), Bunny Zoe's Monthly Challenge (ribbon or twine) and 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #45 (diecuts and/or punches).

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Vintage Violet and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks 6x6 pad.  I machine-stitched around all the panels.  I used Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs and Parisian Accents diecuts for my frame and corner accents.  I added Buttercup Liquid Pearls to both.  My sweet Magnolia image is Tilda Holding Daffodil from the Butterfly Dreams collection.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bit of Yellow Stickles to the daffodil.  I cut her out and popped her up on the motif frame.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A ribbon bow and button and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished up my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  That's it for me for today.  See you tomorrow for another fun Mo's DP2 Challenge!

Spring Tilda

My Heartfelt Creations Design Team Alumni post is HERE.

Hi!  Hope you are having a good week so far!  I can't believe it is Wednesday already!  It's sure been busy for me.  We have some dear friends coming to visit from out of town tomorrow and I need to have everything ready before they arrive. I can't wait to have some crafty time with my buddy, too!  It's been too long since we've gotten together!

Anyway, I'm popping in now to share the card I made for a couple of challenges.  It's for the Just Magnolia Challenge #149 (more than one fold), Midweek Magnolias Challenge #4 (sketch) and 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #44 (Shades of Spring).  It's rare that I pull out my Maggies these days, but I knew this cutie was perfect for what I wanted to create.  

Here is the Midweek Magnolias Sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I decided on an easel card for my multi-fold creation.  I started with a card base of Papertrey Spring Moss and layered with patterned papers from the Prima Annabelle 6x6 pad.    My darling Magnolia stamp is Tilda Loves Flowers from the Sweet Crazy Love collection.  I stamped her on Cryogen White and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the bouquet of flowers for a little sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the You Bring Sunshine set.   Check it out in Paulette's store here.  I added a few pink gems and three Wild Orchid Crafts roses to the front panel to finish it.  I created the easel stop with a border cut with the Cheery Lynn Border Carnivale die.  I punched a couple of butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch and finished them off with a few more pink gems.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great evening and see you soon!

Walking On Sunshine

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a good day so far!  I managed to finish another card I was working on, so I thought I'd pop by and share it here.  It is for the Belles 'n Whistles Monthly Challenge (use butterflies), the Digi Bells March Release Blog Hop (use flowers), the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #43 (anything goes) and the Aud Sentiments Challenge #50 (sentiment that represents a song).

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of some pink cardstock from Archiver's but I failed to write down the color when I got it.  I layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Hello Luscious 6x6 pad.  My Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Patches and Braids.  I stamped her on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored her with Copic markers.  I added a little Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Encore set which can be found in Paulette's store here.  I thought it would be perfect for the Aud Sentiments song title challenge.  I added a bunch of flowers from my stash and three rhinestone butterflies to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day and I hope to see you soon!

Sweet Friendship

Hello, there!  Hope you're having a great week so far!  It's Hump Day and we're halfway to the weekend!  I'm popping by to share a card I made for a few challenges I enjoy doing when I find the time.  It is for this week's Just Magnolia Challenge #143 (pink, pearls, and lace), the current Our Creative Corner Challenge (card for best friend and include a flower), Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #15 (pretty in pink) and the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #41(monochromatic).

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of GKD Innocent Pink and layered with patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6.5 x 6.5 pad keeping everything monochromatic in pinks.  My cute image is Tilda With Hawaii Flower.  She can be found in the 7 Kids store here.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White Iridescent and colored her with Copics.  The ornate frame was cut with the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die.  I added a flourish cut with the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and some Wild Orchid Crafts roses.  My sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  It can be found in her store here.  Some ivory lace and a few pink pearls from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Card For a Few Challenges

Hello!  Have you had a good weekend?  It was relatively quiet here and I even managed to get in a little crafting time.  I made a card for a few challenges I like to do.  I combined them this time because I wasn't sure I'd get to them all otherwise and I hated to miss out.  My card is for the January Sketch For You To Try on Jen Del Muro's blog, Elisabeth Bell's World December/January Challenge (Tic Tac Toe), 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #38 (try something new), Basic Grey Challenge #60 (something new) and the Corrosive Challenge #140 (use something brand new).  There were a lot of similar themes so it was easy to put them together.

Here is the January SFYTT:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a 5 x 7 card base of SU Certainly Celery and layered with Almost Amethyst and patterned paper from the Basic Grey Sugar Rush 6x6 pad.  My main "something new" (and still unused) item was my new Elisabeth Bell Belles 'n Whistles stamp, Patches 'n Braids.  It can be found in the 7 Kids store here.  I stamped her on Cryogen White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her with Copic markers.  I added a bit of Stickles here and there for some sparkle. The image was cut out and matted with Spellbinders Petite Ovals Nestabilities. For the Elisabeth Bell's World challenge, I chose Column A of the tic tac toe - flowers, lace and pearls.  I added some new flowers with pearls that I picked up in the $1 bin at Michael's yesterday.  A bit of crocheted lace and some adhesive pearls finished my card.  Phew!  I think I covered everything!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy what's left of your weekend and I will see you tomorrow!
