Crafty Gals Corner- Make it Green!

 

 Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a very Green challenge at Crafty Gals Corner this month.  

I got to play with this sweet image from Polkadoodle.

Here is the card I created using the Dragon Onesie Little Dude image.

 For the background, I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up.  I then die cut a cloud from Jillibean Soup and the sentiment is from a die cut by Spellbinders.

I colored this image with my Copics: 

Dragon Outfit:  YG67, YG25, Y23, Y17, YG13, YG05

Skin: E13, E11, E21, E000

Hair: E35, E33

Here is a close up of the little dude:

I hope you will make something with green and join us at Crafty Gals Corner.

Angie's Digital Stamps

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge at Angie's Digital Stamps, which is Anything goes with a green twist.  With March being St. Patrick's day, green is the perfect color for a birthday card for someone in March.  I got to play with this fun image from Angie's called Daisy May with a Cupcake.

For the card base I used some stickers from my stash on cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then cut the sentiment with the Impression Obsessions die set.

I then colored Daisy with my Copics:

Face: E21, E00, E000

Hair: Y21, YR24

Dress, Socks and Headband: YG25, YG23, YG13

Cupcake and Flower: G40, G20

Heart: R46, R35

Shoes: C9, C7, C5

Here is a close up of her.

Now, it is your turn.  Create something, anything and add some green and join us for the challenge at Angie's Digital Stamps.

Simply Create Too- Wet or Dry Embossing Challenge

 

 Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Simply Create Too!  The challenge this month is wet or dry embossing.  I tried a new technique to me, and I hope you like it.

 This is a very easy card, but I love the way it turned out,

I first took a few different green rolls of washi tape that I had in my stash and I placed them on a piece of White Cardstock.  I then wrapped the ends around the card face.

I then used an embossing folder with leaves on it and ran the whole card front through my machine using the embossing folder.

I then used foam squares to attach the panel to the card base.

Lastly, I die cut the words from an Impression Obsession die and added it to the card base.

That is it. Quick and easy and you could easily do the same technique with scraps of paper or cardstock.

Now let's see your creations.  Create something with wet or dry embossing and join the challenge at Simply Create Too.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a comment.

 

Two Challenges with One project

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It is March 1st and I can see Spring is close.  As a teacher, spring always gives me a sense of nervousness about state testing, but also a renewed excitement for trying new things with my students and to brighten up the days ahead.

I am a teacher through and through and love to share my knowledge with others, as so many of my teacher friends like to do too.  So, today I created a fun project for me for two challenges today.  We have an anything goes challenge at Love to Craft Challenge Blog,

 

and for the Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge of anything goes with your Cricut. 

 

So, I created a T-shirt to share the fact that I am a teacher.   

I used a file I bought from Design Bundles and a shirt I bought from Hobby Lobby.  I used Iron-on Everyday Vinyl and Glitter Vinyl for the red part.

I love it and will be proud to wear it.

Now, it is your turn.  Create something and share it on the Love to Craft Challenge Blog, or create something with your Cricut and share it on the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog.  

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.
