CRAFT Challenge Blog #775

 Hello friends! This week's challenge with CRAFT Challenge Blog has a theme of Spring or Easter. The sponsor is The Paper Shelter. The design i am working with is Adorable Easter Bunny Digital Stamp.


 Supply list is found below. 

Instruction: 

  1. Open an egg design in the electronic cutter software. I am using Silhouette Studio with a Cameo.
  2. Size the egg to be about the size of the card that you would like. I am using A2 size; 4.25" x 5.5".
  3. Duplicate the egg shape. You don't need the stripes, just the egg as it will be the inside/back of the card. Move all shapes off to the side of the on-screen mat.
  4. Open the Easter bunny design in the software.  I am using the colored PNG file.
  5. Size the bunny to fit the egg including the little butterflies. 
  6. Turn on the registration marks for the print & cut feature.
  7. Print the page on to cardstock.
  8. Cut the design using the cutting machine.
  9. Choose the colors of cardstock for the egg and the stripes.
  10. Cut all egg pieces out.
  11. Score a line 1" from the top of the egg piece that will be the inside of the card. 

  12. Add glue above the scored line and attach to front glue. Let dry. This is your card base. 
  13.  Assemble the egg and adhere the stripes. 
  14. Using ink and a blending brush, add a soft touch of ink on the edges. I did for all 3 colors I used. This just adds some dimension. 
  15. Adhere the bunny and butterflies to the egg.
  16. Embellish with sequins or gems.

Enjoy! I would love to see your version of this card. I used papers I had on hand.

CRAFT Challenge Blog #770

 Hi there friends!

There is only one challenge on the CRAFT Challenge Blog for the month of December and it is live now!


 This month the sponsor is The Paper Shelter and the design I am working with is Snowmen Singing Carols. I opted to use the pre-colored design to make this card. I chose a dark blue background and used a "let it snow" stamp from my collection to express that they are singing a song with those words. I added some while splatter for added snow. Simple and so cute!

Craft Challenge Blog #757

 Hi friends!

I am here with this week's card for CRAFT Challenge Blog.

The theme is Cute or Anything Goes.

The sponsor is: The Paper Shelter and the design I am using is: Gnome with a Daisy


 When you download the file, they provide a design already colored and one that you can color yourself. Normally, I color myself but I really loved the colors they chose and used that.

I used Silhouette's Print and Cut feature to print the gnome out and the Cameo cut it out for me. I cut out a hexagon for the background. I stenciled cute shaped on to the background using a metallic ink to give it a little shimmer. I used gold splatter paint over the whole panel. I attached the gnome with adhesive foam for dimension. The sentiment is stamped and set with white embossing powder.
