TTCRD Challenge - May 7 to May 13

Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!  Today is my first post as a DT member for Through The Craftroom Door and our challenges are always "Anything Goes."  We are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and I used "Gus the Birthday Reaper" image to create a free standing pop-up card.

Hee's my creation...

I followed the tutorial found here to create the free standing pop-up card.  I started out using grey cardstock and layered on dp.  I designed the tag using my Cameo and colored the image using Copic Markers.  I finished it up by going over the image with gel pens.  I cut the lettering out on my Cameo and used the grey and some red cardstock.  I punched a hole through the top of the tag using my crop-a-dile and colored string using my Copics and ran it through the top.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #29: Create a Kid's Card

Greetings!

Happy Monday!  I hope that your week will start great and end fantastic! This week over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner challenge we are desiging "Kid's Cards."

Our generous sponsors for this challenge are Bugaboo Stamps and QKR Stampede. I chose to work with QKR's "News Boy." I created this birthday card using the tutorial I shared with you last week.

"Newsboy Easel Card"

As previously mentioned, I used my "Oober Easy Easel" card tutorial to make this card.  I covered the card with dp from various 6 x 6 paper pads (these cards are perfect for these pads).  I also layered some black cardstock as well.  I used my Spellbinder's die to create a newspaper.  I used Copics to color my image and added sentiments from Create with TLC. 

I hope that you will come play with us this week!

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #25 "Lots of Layers"

Greetings!

I would like to first of all thank everyone for their well wishes. This week over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner challenge it is Lots of Layers!

This week our generous sponsors are Digi Darla and Bugaboo Stamps.  I chose to use Digi Darla "Sweeping Fall Leaves" image for my creation.

Here's my creation...


I colored this image using Photoshop.  I used Leelou digital paper and elements to create this page.  The sentiment was found online.  I used 6 different different papers to create lots of layers for this layout.  I love creating this little scenes, because they make awesome scrapbook pages, card covers or you can frame them and use for wall art.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #17: Celebration/4th of July

Greetings!

Happy Monday! It's that time of the week for another challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner. This week's theme is Celebration/4th of July and our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps. I chose to do a card to celebrate the birth of a new baby using the adorable "Hand in Hand" image from Bugaboo Stamps.

Here's my creation...

Hand in Hand

The base of my 6x6 card was created using SU cardstock.  I layered on a scrap piece of dp I had in my stash.  I used MS punch to cut out a brown piece of SU cardstock to put across the middle of the card.  I then layered on a diecut that I cut using my Cricut.  I used a Spellbinder's Lace diecut to mat my image.  My image was colored with Copics E01, E11, E21, E13 and R29.  I used a SU punches to cut out my sentiment which I created.  I finished my card off by adding some pearls.  The sentiment reads...

Hold on to me sweet little one,

and I will guide you

through life's storms.

Well, I hope that you will join us for the challenge this week.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #15 Ribbon or Bows

Greetings!

Happy Monday!  It's that time of the week for another challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner.  This week's theme is Ribbon or Bows and we are once again sponsored by Bugaboo's Stamps.  I chose to work with the Silhouette - Hummingbird image this week.  I tried a new technique on this image that allows me to blend colors without using a marker.  I also created a three tiered card by making 3 easle cards in one!  This creation is full of new stuff as you will see.

Here's my creation...

Card Opened

Card Closed

Well, I started out using some yummy purple (and olive) cardstock from SU.  I cut them out using the Spellbinder's Mega Nestibilities Label #8.  I layered dp from Jodie Lee designs Nature Garden Collection.  I added ribbon from SU and added flowers from Wild Orchid Flowers.  The leaves are from Crealies Creative  dies and the flourish behind the image is from Spellbinders. 

The image...
The Bugaboo Silhouette image comes in black; however, using MS Word I changed the colors and blended in other colors.  I used a Copic E41 to color around the trim of the image.  I finished the card off with eyelets. 

The layout of the card...
Basically I created this card by using the basic techniques of an easel card.  I will put a tut together on how I actually made it later.

Well, I hope that you will join us for the challenge this week.  Also, below you will find a posting for some yummy blogcandy from me that expires June 30th, so you don't want to miss out!

I created this card using 6x6 craft paper and layered SU red and blue cardstock.  I also stitched designer paper from MME's Miss Caroline "Dolly Up" collection.  I used Spellbinder's "Circle Butterfly" and "Circle" diecut for the image and mat.  I digital paperpieced the girl's dress and shaded it with R89 Copic.  I also used Copics to color the butterflies as well as a white gel pen to added dots and stripes.  To finish the card off I added some buttons and bling. The butterfly is a SU diecut.
