Guesting for the Tag You're It Challenge

If you missed my Bellarific Friday post today, you can find it here and if you missed my Mo's Digital Pencil post, you can find it here.

     I was honored to have my tag with the chicks decorating the tree win the challenge at the Tag You're It challenge.  As winner I was asked to be their Guest Designer for one of their challenges.

     So I am guesting for challenge #36 which is to create a tag inspired by this super cute tag by Joyce Mehrberg.

     I told you all that you would be seeing my night sky again.  LOL  For my tag I masked off the edges of the die cut tag up to the stitching lines and then inked my sky with Distress inks.  Next came the splatters of white acrylic paint.  Instead of Santa and the moon I used stars and an embossed white sentiment.  The buildings and trees were cut with a SSS die set, colored with Copics and outlined with a Copic Multi-liner pen.  A sprinkling of stars and a snowy hillside complete the scene.

     A huge thanks to Tracey and the ladies at the Tag You're It Challenge for having me as there guest.  Hope you'll join in the tag making fun.
     Be blessed!

Hi all!  I'm back with my third card as Guest Designer for Creative Inspirations Challenge.

     This weeks challenge is "Going Dotty" and our wonderful sponsor is Time 4 Tea Designs.  I've used their adorable "Catching Snowflakes" on my card.  I have some dotty green paper on there, but I also used my favorite dotty stamp to add some falling snow to the two green panels and the main image.  I get questions about this stamp all the time.  I don't think it's in current production but you can find it sometimes on EBay.  It's a wood mount red rubber stamp.

Nerds Rule!

     Hope you all survived your Labor Day celebrations and are having a great week.  

     A while back I was asked by my favorite stalker, Rene of Simply Cute to be a Guest Designer for Creative Inspirations Challenge for the month of September.  Since she does such a fantastic job of stalking I just couldn't say no.  LOL

     The first challenge for September is "Back to School".  I just love this sweet little nerd "Harvard" from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I am crazy about stencils and embossing paste so I was excited when I got the idea to use this great Tim Holtz stencil and add a bit of ruler to the card.  I think you can see it better in the second photo below.

Just a swingin'

     Everybody having a great weekend?  I've had the cleaning bug so the trash can is full.  LOL  I did take a little time to create this card with one of the new images, "Daisy", from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I was one of the winners for the last challenge at the Catered Crop and was invited to play along with their Quickfire mid-challenge post for tomorrow.  Some of you may remember that I used to be on this team.  Linda is such a sweetheart.  I wasn't sure if I was going to get the card made.  Hubby took me out birthday shopping yesterday and like I said today was apparently cleaning frenzy time, but here it is.

     The card is layered with some gorgeous Webster Pages papers that I won from my sweet friend Ivonne.  The flower is an old Prima one I've had for ages.  I added some fern and leaf die cuts colored with Distress inks.  The butterfly was stamped on vellum with Versamark and embossed in white then hand cut.  The fun sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Oh by the way, the Catered Crop challenge theme is "Summer Lovin'".

Copics Used:

skin E000, E00, E11, E13, R20, R30

Guesting for My Sheri Crafts

     Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card with you that I created as a Guest Designer for the My Sheri Crafts Challenge.  I was lucky enough to be asked to be their Guest Designer for challenge #133 which is "April Showers Bring May Flowers".  Thanks for having me Sheri!

     Sheri and the team want to see at least three flowers on your card.  Please excuse my glaring ones.  My blooms were sprayed with Glimmer Mist and all that sparkle seems to have grabbed the light and bounced it.  I created them using a Nestabilities Dahlia die set, the spray, and a bit of water.  They're the icing on this sweet birthday card made with Art Impressions Stamps "Cupcake BFF's" stamp set.

     I don't think there could possibly be a crafter out there without flowers in their stash so grab at least three and come join in the fun at My Sheri Crafts!

Supplies:
Paper--Crate Paper "Party Day", Bazzill, Recollections, Copic XPress-it Blending card
Stamps--Art Impressions "Cupcake BFF's"
Ink--Memento Tuxedo Black, Candlelight Glimmer Mist
Tools--MFT Die-namics Fancy Flourish and Fishtail Flag Stax, Memory Box Tender Leaves die, Nestabilities Dahlia dies, sewing machine
Miscellaneous--Recollections pearls

Guesting at My Craft Spot

     A couple of months back I was blessed to win the challenge at My Craft Spot.  Then I received a double blessing when owner Kim asked me to do a guest spot.  Today's projects are what I created using a great stamp set from My Craft Spot called Pattern Blocks.

     The first card I created was this CAS design.  I started with a card base of white and a matting of black.  For the patterned piece I used three of the stamps from the Pattern Block set and stamped them quilt style in three colors of VersaMagic ink.  I added black faux stitching between the blocks with a pen.  For the focal image I stamped a flower and colored it with Distress inks and watercolor pencils on watercolor paper.  A little bit of Stickles was added to the center.  Using a circle die I cut a hole in the quilt pattern and framed it in black.  That whole quilt piece is raised up on foam dots above the image.  The sentiment was stamped onto white.  It comes from the With Deepest Sympathy set.  Lastly I added a bit of ribbon, a bow, and a couple of black buttons.

     CAS design is not my strongest suit so I decided to try for something a little more elaborate and came up with this card.

     The card base is kraft with a mat of cream.  The Pattern Block set works so perfectly for creating a quilted look that I tried that again with a twist.  Using hexagon dies I cut the larger size out in kraft and the smaller in the cream.  Using two colors of VersaMagic ink I stamped the cream pieces with two of the patterns from the stamp set.  I used a plain sheet of copy paper as a base to piece together the hexagons in a quilt pattern.  I thought it made a lovely background for Kady and her dolly from Mo's Digital Pencil.  As embellishments I've added lace, a ribbon bow, some diecut flowers, pearls, and vellum punched butterflies.

      You can find this next card in a separate post here for today.  It uses the  My Craft Spot Small Alphabet dies dies and Tiny Banners and Toppers dies.

     A huge THANK YOU to Kim for inviting me as a Guest Designer.  The products from My Craft Spot are top quality and I know I'll use them over and over again---and be adding lots more to my collection.  I hope you enjoyed the cards.
    Kim has generously offered to let me give away a stamp set from My Craft Spot, so if you'd like to throw your name in the hat for a drawing to win ONE FREE STAMP SET leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite My Craft Spot stamp set is and I'll choose a lucky winner.

Guest Designer at City Crafter Challenge Blog

     I have been playing along with the challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog when I can since I first started making cards several years back.  I was blessed to be asked to do another Guest Designer spot for Kirsty and the girls for this weeks challenge.
     Did you think you were at the wrong blog?  No Copics in sight...well, I did color the pearls with one.  hee hee  I wanted to keep my card more in keeping with the general style of the CCCB DT so I went with a more clean and simple design and the chipboard bird instead of something colored.  The initial card concept was drawn from this great inspiration pic for this weeks challenge which is birds and blue.

     You might be looking at my card thinking, well she didn't use any blue.  The background mat is a blue gray that doesn't show up very well in the photo.  It's much bluer IRL.  The bird is from Michaels.  I covered the bird cage in gesso then sprayed it with gold Glimmer Mist.  I finally got around to buying the 18 kt. gold leafing pen my sweet friend Katie is such a wiz at using and gilded the edges of the base mat and along the edges of the bird cage.
     I hope you can hop over to CCCB and play along with this weeks challenge.  Thanks so much for having me girls!

Paper--My Mind's Eye "Lost and Found--Portabello Road", Georgia Pacific

Guest Designer Day 2 for the Crafty Sentiments new releases

     This is the final day of new releases from Crafty Sentiments.  Hope you've checked out all the designer creations over at the Crafty Sentiments Inspirations Blog.  There are some truly amazing cards to be seen there.  Those ladies are embellishment geniuses!
     This is the second stamp I was given to work with, "Princess Mask", and I've also used the "Fancy Banner" die.  Isn't she lovely in her party dress.  I added a bit of embossing around the image along with some distress ink.  Gauzy curtains, music in the background, banners hung from the ceiling, and a clock to dance the minutes away.  I think she's going to have a lovely time.
     Once again I'll say it was an honor to be asked to join in the release.  Thanks so much Suzette!
     Don't forget the stamps go on sale August 22nd!

     This card uses Isobel the Lilly Fairy and the Tab 2 die.  I think she has such a sweet face.  I've colored her with Copics and added some white gel pen dots to her dress.  I die cut the flower from burlap using Tim Holtx Tattered Florals die.

Sparkle and Shine for Card Mania

     Quite a while back I was asked to be a Guest Designer by one of my favorite challenge blogs, Card Mania.  This is the week and new challenge that was selected for me and this is my card for the "Pearls and/or gems" challenge.  This particular challenge is being sponsored by Bearly Mine Designs and I was graciously supplied with some of Donna's gorgeous digital papers to use on my card.  All the designer papers used on this card are from the "Lacey Vintage Dreams" collection.
     This was definitely another of my kitchen sink cards and I really enjoyed making it.  I pulled out lots of goodies I don't normally use.
     It's hard to tell in the photo but the dark mats are the same deep olive green I used for the leaves and photo corners.  The second mat of designer paper was edged with sparkly gold embossing powder as were the photo corners.  I edged the two tabs with a gold ink pad and added some fancy crystal brads.  The leaves and photo corners were sprayed with a mixture of Gold Perfect Pearls and water for some nice shimmer.  The roses were also sprayed and then edged with Diamond Stickles.  The butterfly punch was covered with sticky embossing powder and covered with copper glitter.  It then got a gold pearl body and pretty pink bling trail.
     The image is a lovely Saturated Canary called "Roses are red, violets are blue".
     Hop on over to the Card Mania blog to get all the details on the new challenge and play along.

Here's the scoop

     I'm very honored to be featured at Delightful Challenges today.  I was chosen as one of the Top picks last week and was asked to be a Guest Designer.  I got to play with this little cutie who is one of the new summer release images.  I'd like to thank Leslie and the powers that be for putting me in the spotlight.  I thought I was going to be playing along with the DT for the new challenge.  LOL
     The image is called "Ice Cream Roxy" and you can find it in the Digital Delights by Louby Loo shop.
     I got lucky and found the ice cream paper in one of my paper pads from American Crafts.  I colored Roxy and her summer accessories with Copics and added some white gel pen dots to her umbrella and Glossy Accents to her shades.  I did a bit of texturing with a terry cloth and some colorless blender solution but it didn't work as well as I would have liked.  I think I need to find a cloth with a bit more fluff to it.

Deep Ocean Challenge Guest Designer

     I was so excited a few weeks back when my friend and Mo team mate Franz asked if I would like to be a Guest Designer at Deep Ocean Challenge.  Of course I said yes.  ☺
     The challenge theme is "For a Boy" so I decided to use this wonderful Mo Manning image called "Dream".  You can get this image in a girl form too.  I colored him up with Copics and then decided to try to do a little out of the box and out of my comfort zone card design.
     I love these Simple Stories papers for boy cards.  They have full sheets of patterned paper and then some in the back of the pad that can be cut apart for tags or whatever.  One of the back sheets had the mat with faux washi tape tabs and I thought it would make a great background for my little pilot to be.  The second panel was cut on one side using TH's File Folder die for a fun tab.  I embossed and inked the strip of kraft and every piece got a trim of black.
     The banner pieces were cut from the tips of the largest star from a Sizzix die.  I used an 1/8" hole punch to make holes for the hemp cord.  The gears are from a TSG stamp set.  I printed them out on cardstock then adhered them to grunge board and cut then out.  Next I covered them with silver chunky embossing powder.  After that was melted I added a sprinkling of Vintage Photo Distress ink to age them.  My Crop-a-dile does not like the American Crafts eyelets I used.  The top two as you can see are rather misshapen, but at least they match.  LOL
     Hope you like the card.  It was a blast to get to play along with Franz and the rest of the Deep Ocean Team.  Thanks so much for having me as your guest.
