Little Miss Muffet - Challenge #76

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you are starting to settle into your new year routine after the holidays! I know I still have some organizing to do and a few "resolutions" to get started on, but so far, all is well.  I am here, as on every Thursday, with my Little Miss Muffet DT project.  After a couple of weeks of inspiration posts, we are back with a new challenge for you this week.  We have a sketch challenge this time.  I don't know about you, but I love sketches for jump-starting a card project.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned paper is from the We R Memory Keepers Winter Frost 6x6 pad. The fun image is Luna Bitterfrost Winter Rocks by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics and added some white glitter to the trim on her hat and coat.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few punched snowflakes with gems and a chevron-striped bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Little Miss Muffet Inspiration

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  It's been unseasonably cold here, but hopefully we will see a touch of Spring at the end of the week and over the weekend.  Since it's Thursday, you know I'm here to share my Little Miss Muffet DT card.  This week was "anything goes" for the DT.  We wanted to share some of our favorite images and designs for your inspiration. I needed one more Easter card, so that is where I went with my project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Lavender and Mint Green from a retired Spring Assortment and the patterned papers are from the Best Creations A Walk In The Park 6x6 pack.  The cute Easter image is Celeste Amberglow Egg Hunt from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the eggs in her basket and some polka dots to her top, socks and hair bows with my Sharpie White Paint pen.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  The banner was cut with Little Miss Muffet Party Banner Die.  A lavender satin bow and a few Wild Orchid Crafts Roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Here is my creation:

My card base and mats are SU Rose Red and the patterned papers are from the Prima Annalee and Madeline 6x6 pads.  The beautiful image is Lady of the Roses from Rick St. Dennis.  You can find her in Rick's Etsy shop here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Lime Green and Aqua Stickles to her jewelry to make those pieces sparkle.  The background circle was cut from Lucky Limeade with my Cameo using a cut file from Pam Ramesh.  She generously shared the free file on her blog here.  I painted some Ornate Corners (chipboard) from Make it Crafty white and added them to the panel behind the image.  Some Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Copic/ProMarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  Take care all of you in the path of yet another big winter storm.  It's been raining a lot here, but at least it's not snow!  Before I head out for the day, I'm here to post my DT card for this week's Copic/ProMarker Challenge on the The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is the ever-popular "anything goes".  As always for the last challenge of the month, we are offering a Christmas twist.  If you'd like to get a jump start on your Christmas cards, this is a perfect way to do it!

Here is my card:

I decided to do a fancy fold and settled on a center step card.  My card base is SU Soft Sky and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye All is Bright 6x6 pad.  My beautiful image is In The Manger from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I cut it out with my Cameo and popped it up on foam tape.  I added a bunch of stars that were cut from GKD Good As Gold with my Cameo.  The cut file for the filigree stars is from Krewella Kreations and the star border file is from Bird's Cards.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  To finish my card, I added a couple of musical notes cut with my Cameo using a file from the Silhouette store (I think).

Here is a side view of the center step card:

And finally, a close-up of the image:

Birthday Chick

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  If all is right with the world, I am sleeping while Mr. Blogger posts my DT card for the new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog.  The challenge theme this time is "winter birthdays".  We want to see a birthday creation with a birthday sentiment on the front!  Easy peasy, right?

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park So Happy Together 6x6 pad.  My fun birthday image is Luna Bitterfrost Birthdays Rock from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I used the digi version, but she is now available as a red rubber stamp.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles and Liquid Pearls for extra sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  The banner was cut from red glitter paper with the Little Miss Muffet Layered Party Banner Die.  Large and small stars punched from the same red glitter paper finished my card.

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday - the first one in January!  Hope your new year is off to a great start!  I am still trying to get in the groove, but my routine is slowly coming back to me.  I am happy to be crafting a little again.  This morning, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  The theme this time is "new beginnings".  We are thinking new baby, new home , new relationship, new year, you get the picture!  Just don't forget you must have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

I decided to go with a  new baby theme for my "new beginnings" creation.  My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 Little Darlings 8x8 pad.  My adorable image is Butterfly Baby from Saturated Canary.  You can find him/her in Krista's store here.  The image was originally shared by Krista as a freebie during her wonderful Butterfly Fund Charity Drive.  I printed the image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added White Opal and Bisque Liquid Pearls and Baby Blue Stickles as accents.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A striped ribbon bow and a handmade heart button (made from punched cardstock and patterned paper) finished my card.

Cozy Christmas

Hello!  Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe I've got another post already?  That's two so far this week!  I am happy to be finding a little time to finish up card projects on my desk!  Definitely not an easy feat these days!  Anyway, I'm here with a quick post to share another Christmas card I made to add to my stash.  It is for a bunch of challenges that all had a similar theme - snow or snowmen.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Red Hot and the patterned papers are from the Recollections Bright Christmas 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Snowman Scene from QKR Stampede.  I won it when they were sponsoring a blog hop I participated in recently.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Liquid Pearls to the falling snow, Crystal Snow to the pom pom and brim of his hat, Red and Aqua Stickles to the ornaments on the tree and Gun Metal Stickles to his buttons.  The sentiment is from Bird's Cards. It was a freebie I picked up last year.  I added red gingham ribbon from my stash, some aqua and white fabric trim (Webster's Pages) and a few snowflakes punched from glitter paper to finish my card.

Here is a close-up of the snowman scene:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Photo Inspiration

Hello!  Happy Thursday!  Sorry I haven't been around much.  Still a lot going on for me.  My thoughts are with everyone impacted by the enormous storm that hit the Northeast.  Since I come from the area, I still have many friends and family in the vicinity .  I pray that everyone is OK and the effects of the storm are not too long-lasting for any of you.  Being that it is Thursday, of course I am here with my DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a new challenge starting today!  It is a photo inspiration this time, with a theme of "fireworks".

Here is one of the photos shared on the blog for inspiration:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Taken With Teal.  I used a combination of sparkly patterned papers from my stash.  Some are from Recollections and some from the DCWV Spring Glitter Matstack.   My adorable image is Celeste Amberglow Fairy Special from the recent new release from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.   I added some Stickles here and there for some extra sparkle.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I cut the banner from glitter paper using the new Party Banner Diecut from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I added the little stars leftover from the banner diecut to the image corners and a little heart from the diecut to her top.  I punched a few more stars from green glitter paper and popped them up.  A sparkly teal rhinestone flourish finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

When All Else Fails...

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you're ready for a fun weekend!  For me and the "good week" part, not so much, but I'm definitely ready for the weekend to be here. Before I get on with a busy day, I'm here to post my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz site. This week's theme is "desserts" in honor of National Dessert Day on October 14.  Fun theme, right?  Can't wait to see all the yummy sweets!  The only requirement besides the theme is that you color with alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Buckaroo Blue and the patterned papers are from the Prima En Francais 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Frenchie Claudine from Make it Crafty.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Liquid Applique to the whipped cream and different colored Liquid Pearls to the sprinkles on the ice cream.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the When All Else Fails set in Paulette's store here.  A few pearls and a triple-loop satin bow finished my card.
