QKR Stampede Challenge #149 Swimming

QKR Stampede has a new challenge and this week the challenge is  "Swimming."  I have used "6701 Sailor" and colored with Copics & fussy cut, then mounted on some paper that I will pretend look like waves or bubbles in the water.  I used some spellbinder die cuts and a SU greeting. I think it looks like the manatee is talking to the sea horse.

Brown Sugar Challenges Anything Goes

This will be my last post for Brown Sugar Challenges.  I find myself being pulled in to many directions. But the challenge this week a new challenge  is  "Anything Goes" and is sponsored by Crafty Sentiments I have used a  called "Summer Breeze" and colored her with Copics and cut her out with an oval die from Spellbinders.   I did 2 cards with this image since I have needed so many birthday cards lately. Hey she actually fit in the die this time, I have a habit of going with the flow and never planning before hand. I have a strip of paper with a daisy print and 3 small daisies that were clipped from a ribbon strip that I received in a ribbon exchange I participated in a while back, and I added a small gem to the center of each to match the paper.  The Happy Birthday stamp is one I have had forever and the name has worn off.  I added a quick bow and I have another birthday card for a young girl.  I have been needing a lot of these lately.

For the second card I used the same greeting, a piece of ribbon and a pretty brad, otherwise prett much the same.

Eureka Stamps Challenge #

Eureka Stamps has a new challenge and this week it's "Christmas in July."  I have colored this great image  from QKR Stampede  5201 Santa Bear's List & 15710 Name Ain't There with Copics and then cut it out.  I mounted it on paper that looks like a Christmas sweater and used an oval cut using a spellbinders die for the background. The greeting is punched out using a SU punch and layered using the same punch. I don't think this card even needs anything extra.  I like it just the way it is.

Happy Birthday To You Sir!

Today I have some sample cards I have made using a little card kit that I have put together, in hopes of selling to mkae a little bit of money to help pay for some of the vacation expenses this year. I had purchased a paper pack a while back from Paper Studio called "Happy Birthday to You Sir." Since I hadn't used it yet I decided to try to make a kit with it.  After making the kits I decided I had better make a few samples using it, so here is what I have come up with.

This first card used the turquoise cardstock as the card base and black cardstock to frame a couple of pieces of the patterned papers, then used the hello die cut and just 3 of the gems.

The second card used the other piece of turquoise cardstock as the base and then I used some of the red cardstock to frame one of the word sections.  Then I used the dad die cut and a mustache brad to finish it.

The last card has the black cardstock as the base and a couple strips of the red cardstock a small piece of patterned paper and another section of printed words & image. I used a few more gems and another of the mustache brads to accent the tiny mustache the image had.  This is only a small portion of the papers in the kit, so there are plenty more to make several more cards.

 

Kit Includes:
   6 - Card stock (5.5" x 8.5")
  14 - Patterned Papers 5.5" x 5.5"
   3 - Patterned with Words &/or images
   2 - Die Cut Words - (hello & Dad)
   1 - Bling pack - (mustache brads & gems)

You can get this kit for $10.00 plus $3.00 Shipping.  You can comment below or find me on Facebook and send an instant message.  I only have a few.  I had fun putting these kits together and making a few samples for everyone to see.  You can also enjoy this kit.  If your interested please let me know.

Eureka Stamps Challenge #149 At The Beach

Eureka Stamps has a new challenge and this week it's "At The Beach."  I have colored this great image  20102 Beach Boy with Copics and fussy cut him out. Then set him in the sandy beach made of kraft paper and 2 colors of glitter and too much glue. I had glitter and glue everywhere.  I should have gave in and went uptown for some sandpaper.  I have plenty of glitter on the card, but it's also all over me and everything close. I added a die cut hello from Lil Inkers to finish it.  I love this hello die, it cuts with 1 pass every  time.
