Merry Christmas - Cardz 4 Galz #135

Thursday November 19, 2020

Hello.. I have a card to share for a new challenge over at 

Cardz 4 Galz #135

Our theme for these two weeks is 

CUTE CHRISTMAS

This is my card.. I really wanted to keep it simple and I am pleased with how this came out. I stamped the Your next stamp deer and using Prisma colored pencils colored it in.. (I ended up having to do twice as I put it back in the misty to re-stamp after it was colored and obviously didn't have it in the corner as I had a ghost stamping. least it was a small image to color and I learned a lesson.. make sure you tuck that image in the corner)  I then used Simon says dies and cut a frame out of Teresa Collins scrap. I used SS snowflake and Stampin up ink and added a few to the background. I stamped the SS sentiment and banner and fussy cut out. I used again SU ink. I added some Nuvo clear drops to the eyes, jingle bells and snowflake centers. I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle brush to his red nose.

I went around the edges with Quick Quote chalk ink.  I went over the buttons with Nuvo drops. I added a tiny bit of stickles to the flames and some Spectrum Noir sparkle brush on different parts of the scene. I added the Art Impression sentiment and added a little twine bow to the corner.  Looks like a fun party to me.. Let's see your party card over at Alphabet challenge.

May 2020 Journal Divider - Do-Al (l) Creative #35

Friday November 15, 2019

Mid-month reminder for our Month long challenge over at

 Do-Al(l) Creative #35

Our theme is Anything But a Card

Our sponsor is Simon Says

Since I was making my pages and did January and all the rest of the year for 2020.. I thought instead of the pages just being pretty papers as all the rest are.. I'd add stamps/dies to this May page.. I will probably do some of the other months too. But since I needed this for this challenge I picked May.. I used an old die I have and gray scrap of dp.. and did the foliage piece. I then looked at my Reverse Confetti stamps and I had some strips that came out of a die and stamped some encouraging words. I then went around the edges with Ranger ink. I added them to the page. The divider is designer paper from Teresa Collins and the page is made using Stampin up tab die. The Jan-Dec. is an old 15 yrs. + stamp set that is kinda distressed font.  Like I said for the Nov. 1st. inspiration .. this journal is for me and to keep track of my design team cards I make and when they need to be posted and what sponsor and all.. It's just info to keep me on track that I write in.

Challenges:

In my opinion PC stands for - Bugaboo New Release kinda

Tuesday September 18, 2018

 

Welcome to New Release (kinda) at Bugaboo

Check out the design teams creations at Catch the bug.

 

 

This is an oldie image that no one has used for some time and with Jodie still working on the store she thought it best to show the fun cards that can be made with this image.  She's CCPC.. Crabby Cathy PC is her name.. I used some scraps from Basic Gray and Teresa Collins and just pieced a background. I then colored the image with copics. The top left hand corner looked so bare so I cut it off and used Washi tape to tape it down so there was some texture to it.
