CRAFT Challenge Blog #784

 Hi there friends,

The latest challenge over on the CRAFT Challenge Blog is "Thank you" or anything goes. The sponsor is Doctor Digi's House of Stamps. 

 I printed the design out to fit on an A2 card base. I colored with alcohol makers. I added some sparkly sequins. The sentiment is from Spellbinders Weekender kit. It is pricey and the sets will not be released individually but let me tell you, I love every piece of it. The sentiment is heat embossing in white. It has a die to cut it out but I just used scissors. Lastly it is mounted on a solid cardstock in green and then an A2 size card base. 

 I thought this would be such a fun thank you card to give to a host of a summer cookout. So funny. I will attach it to a bottle of BBQ sauce from a local restaurant. It's just the little things to enjoy in life.

Craft Challenge Blog #772

 Hi there friends!

This week's challenge on the CRAFT Challenge Blog has a theme of: Christmas. The sponsor is: Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and I using the design called: Last Tree in the Shop. 

 I decided to use a Color Cube card to guide me with the color choices.

I brought the design into Silhouette Studio.  I sized it to fit onto an A2 sized card and a little smaller. I used the trace tool to trace the design. It had a very jagged result and would not simplify to my liking. Therefore, I used the Offset tool to make slight offset around the shape and that did the trick for a smooth outline. I cut the design on my Silhouette Cameo.

I colored it with pencils.  

I chose pencil colors and background papers to fit The Color Cube card I am using: 

 I added silver splatter.

 

I then added sequins for sparkle and a sentiment outside and inside. I am bad about finishing the insides of my cards as I make them. One goal for the new year is to stop making cards with blank insides! I think I met the color challenge.

 

Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.

CRAFT Challege Blog #747

 Hi friends! I will be doing some catch up on some blog entries so they might be out of logical order. It's really okay. I had considered participating in Creative Fabrica's 28 Days of Love for February by making something each day with what bundle they highlighted but I took a step back for two reasons: 1. I've had some health things going on that took center stage and 2. Most of the bundles have been fonts and that's okay sometimes but I just wasn't up to making a card most days highlighting a font especially when I wasn't feel all that well. 

Today I am highlighting a card I made for CRAFT Challenge Blog #747. The theme for that week was Christmas and the sponsored designer was Doctor Digi's House of Stamps The design I received is: Christmas Chaos. I was thrilled to work with this design because it is how December goes around my house. 

I colored the image with colored pencils. I added a sentiment, embossing in white. I added some border detail with a white gel pen and some sequins for sparkle.

Craft Challenge Blog #726 - Graduation

 Hi Friends!

This week on the CRAFT Challenge Blog the theme is Graduation or Anything Goes. 

The sponsor is Doctor Digi and the design I am using is called Alchemy. 

I started by printing and cutting with the print and cut feature within Silhouette Studio and cutting with my Silhouette Cameo. 

I then colored with pencils and Gamsol.

I prepared a background by stenciling graduation caps and pairing with a yellow gold panel. 

 

I added a congratulation sentiment.

 

 I used adhesive foam on the image to pop it up and add dimension.
