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:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head over to the Copic/ProMarker Challenge and check out the beautiful creations from the rest of the DT.  We hope you will find time to play along with us.  Our February challenges are being sponsored by "yours truly". One randomly-selected participant in this month's challenges will win a $15 gift certificate to use in the Mo's Digital Pencil store.  As always, there are other fantastic site-wide prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz.


I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Have a wonderful day and see you soon!

Little Miss Muffet Challenge

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Sorry I've been MIA again for a few days.  There's lots of stuff going on that's taking me away from my craft room, but it's nothing bad and I hope that I will get back in there shortly.   But it's Thursday and time for my Little Miss Muffet DT post.  This week starts a new challenge.  It's a color challenge this time - we want to see your "blue and yellow" creations.

Here is my blue and yellow card:


My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Renew 8x8 pad.    My adorable image is Marjoram from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  She was one of the cute new releases last week.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.   She was cut out with my Cameo and popped up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  That was popped up also.  A few yellow pearls from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Marjoram:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the fantastic creations from the rest of the DT and our wonderful February Guest Designer, Shelly!  We hope you will play along!  You have until midnight (CST) on Tuesday, March 5 to enter your project.  You don't need to use a Little Miss Muffet stamp to participate.  However, if you do use a Little Miss Muffet or any Pollycraft image, you may enter as many times as you'd like with "anything goes" as the theme.  Otherwise, please follow the color challenge and enter only once.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Friday Sketch Challenge #37 (sketch)
Incy Wincy Challenge (pop it up)
Through The Craftroom Door Challenge (anything goes)

Have a great day and see you soon!

Top Banana

Hi there!  Happy Sunday!  I hope you had a good weekend and you are gearing up for a great week ahead. As I said yesterday, I rarely have time to post over the weekend, but again, I wanted to share  a couple of cards I made with another new set from Create With TLC.  This is a really fun set!

Here is my first card:


My card base and mats are SU Soft Sky and the patterned paper is from the new Authentique Renew 8x8 pad.  The bunch of bananas is an image from the Top Banana set in Paulette's Create With TLC store here.  I printed it on Copic X-Press It and colored it with my Copics.  I cut it out with my Cameo and popped it up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from the same set.   A simple striped ribbon bow finished my card.   Oh, and I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch #178 for my layout.

Here is the sketch:


Here is my second card:


My card base and mats are SU Chocolate Chip and the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Origins 6x6 pad.  I added some bamboo that I cut with my Cameo out of Gumball Green cardstock using a cut file from the Silhouette Store.  The cute monkey is also from the Top Banana set, as is the fun sentiment.  I colored the monkey with my Copics then cut him out with my Cameo and popped him up.  A rhinestone butterfly finished my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great evening!  I'll be popping by to visit later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Bed of Roses

Hi there!  Happy Saturday!  I rarely post over the weekend, but I had a card I wanted to share tonight, so I'm going for it.  My card showcases a beautiful new set in Paulette's Create With TLC store that I am sure you are going to love.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are GKD Fresh Asparagus and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft The Lake House 6.5x6.5 paper pad.  My main image is from the Love is Like a Rose Garden set from Create With TLC.  You can find it in Paulette's store here.  I printed it twice on Copic X-Press It blending card and colored both with my Copics. I cut out the full image and then the rose only with my Cameo. I also cut out a backing mat of Fresh Asparagus with the Cameo using the same trace. I layered everything with foam tape and added it to the card.  The sentiment is from another Create With TLC set called The Rose.  I think the two sets work perfectly together.  A few pink pearls finished my card.

I am entering my card in the One Stop Craft Challenge #216 sketch challenge.  Here is the sketch:

I Love You

Hi again!  Hope you're having a good day! I'm back with my second post of the day and I have to make it quick because I don't want to miss the deadline for one of the challenges I'd like to enter.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Picadilly 12x12 paper collection.  My sweet image is Hugs and Kisses from Saturated Canary.  Krista generously offered her as a freebie on her blog recently.  I don't think she is in the store right now.   I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some white polka dots to the patch on her skirt and one of the hearts in the box.  I added a bit of sparkle to the lace trim on the hearts with Diamond Stickles.  I cut her out with my Cameo and popped her up on foam tape.  The image frame is a heart doily from Saskia.  I found the cut file on one of the online Silhouette forums (Silhouette Plus, I think).  It is cut out of Cherry Cobbler with the Cameo.  The sentiment "label" is from Create With TLC.  Paulette generously shared it as a freebie this past week. I think it's so fun! A bit of white lace, three roses from my stash and a few adhesive pearls finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:
