Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge #268: Fill in the Blank: Dad's _________

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

June is here and the summer has started.  As a teacher, I can't wait for summer, to be able to relax, read a book......Who am I kidding?  Summer is for projects around the house, cleaning things out and of course crafting as much as I can.

The start of summer for me is Father's Day.  This month's theme at Crafty Gals Corner is all about dad with a fill in the blank: Dad's __________.

I chose to use this awesome digital stamp from SheepSki Designs entitled "Bryan's Baby" for a masculine card fit for the car enthusiast in your life.  

 

Here is my take on Dad's car.

 

I colored the image with my Copics:

Car: B39, B99, B37

Interior and "fan": YR27, YR18, YR02

Tires: C9, C7, C5

Grill and Bumper: C7, C5, C3

Windshield: B00, B000, B0000

Cogs: E09, E97, YG93, YG91

I used pattern paper from Authentique's Anchored collection and some embellishments from my stash. The sentiment is foiled and is from Taylored Expressions. 

It is your turn now,  Create something for Dad and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.  Then leave me a comment letting me know what you will create with Fill in the Blank: Dad's ________.

Crafty Gals Corner- For the Boys

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

For the Boys is the theme of this month's challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  I was drawn to this beautiful digital stamp by Pattie's Creation Digital Images and couldn't want to color it up. 

 I colored the image with my Copics.

 

Flowers: Y19, Y15, Y11

Leaves: YG13, YG11

I then cut out the one side of the image and mounted the image on a piece of Authentique Classique: Elegant pattern paper and then matted that on cardstock from my stash.

I die cut the sentiment from a die in my stash (not sure where I got it) out of Black cardstock.  

To finish the card, I added some black enamel dots to the corners.

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new Anything Goes with no twist challenge at Angie's Digital Stamps.  I got to play with the True Love hearts digital stamps.

I did something a little bit different with the digital stamp this month.  I printed the stamp onto pattern paper and then fussy cut them out.  

I then created the card base using solid Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey and pattern paper from Authentique.  I added some washi tape from my stash and an organza ribbon bow.

I finished the card by adding some pink pearls to the card front.

Get Creative Challenge Blog: Anything Goes with a Pink or Red Twist

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Get Creative Challenge Blog and the theme this month is Anything Goes with a Pink or Red Twist.  I received this adorable image from:

This Virtual Bear Hug image is too cute and perfect for the times we are in and the season of the month, with Valentine's Day.

I started the card base with Whip Cream and Bubble Gum Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then layered a piece of Authentique pattern paper.  The pink solid strip across the bottom was actually the strip on the piece of pattern paper that most people cut off. I liked it for another color added to the bottom of the card.

I added some washi from my stash to the bottom and the top of the paper piece, wrapping the tails around the card front.  I then tied the white organza ribbon around the card front and tied a knot.

I then colored the bear with my Copics.

Bear: E29, E27, E23

Bow: RV17, RV34

Heart: R56, R37, R35

I added the fluffy bear texture to the bear by tapping my colorless blender on the colored areas.

I then die cut this finished image with Journey Oval die set from Fun Stampers Journey and added the image to the card using foam squares.   

To finish the card, I added the red heart embellishment from Authentique, included with the paper pad I used for the card.

Merry and Bright

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I am loving the Forever Fern Bundle from Stampin Up and today I am sharing a Christmas card I created with this bundle.

I stamped the green leaves and the speckles onto the Whip Cream Cardstock.  I then stamped the red berries on Whip Cream cardstock and die cut them out.  I then die cut the leaves from the same bundle with Fresh Forest Cardstock.  

I then layered everything on to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from a stamp set from Kindred Stamps with Cranberry Bliss ink from Fun Stampers Journey.  

The pattern paper strip is from Authentique.  I finished the card by adding a few red rhinestones.

Fall Trees and Being Thankful

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today, I have a very simple card with a great message to share with you.

 

To create this card I started with cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey and pattern paper from Authentique.  I then die cut the circle from Journey circles from Fun Stampers Journey, the tree from Spellbinders and  the leaves from Rubbernecker Stamps.  I then attached everything to the card using glue.

 

 

I then stamped the sentiment from the Thankful Friends stamp set with Hazelnut Blend ink, both from Fun Stampers Journey.

To finish the card, I added a Cocoa Powder Gingham ribbon and Twine bow to the tree.

I am thankful to all those that support my paper crafting.

Bitten by The Bug: Thanksgiving

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is time for a new challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2.  This two week challenge is Thanksgiving.  I couldn't help but make this fun turkey from Dreaming Tree.

I used pattern paper from Authentique to create this turkey.  

Here is a close up of his face.

 

 

Here is a close up of his feathers.  I added some liquid pearls to the feathers.

 

 Last, but not least, he is a treat box.  

 

He was a ton of fun to make and really not that hard.   He will be the star of the table on Thanksgiving Day!

Please create something with your Cricut for Thanksgiving and share it with us on the blog.

Give Thanks

 Hello Crafty Friends,

November always brings the sense of thankfulness.  I am thankful for so many things in my life.

Today I have a simple but fun thankful card.

 For the card base, I used Butter Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey and pattern paper from Authentique.  I then embossed the background with the Barn Wall embossing folder from Fun Stampers Journey and then swiped some Hazelnut Blend ink over it to bring out the grains.

I then used an apple die from Spellbinders and die cut three apples from Pumpkin Bread, Pomegranate Splash and Summer Days cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then stamped each apple with the Flannel background and Hazelnut Blend ink, both from Fun Stampers Journey.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from the Bountiful Thanks stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey with Hazelnut Blend on Whip Cream cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

Happy Halloween Pumpkins

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I have a fun card to share with you today.  This one is a half front card.

The front is made with pattern paper from Authentique and then a crop of cute little jack o' lanterns, which I stamped and cut from Fun Stampers Journey.

The half part comes in when you open the card.

The pumpkins are anchored to the front flap and leaves the whole back for a message.   I stamped the sentiment from the same set from Fun Stampers Journey called Jack O'Lanterns. 

A fun and easy card.

Angie's Digital Stamps- Anything Goes

 

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge at Angie's Digital Stamps, with a theme anything goes.  September is the month that students are going back to school after a great summer.  In my classroom, I use an owl theme, so I knew I wanted to use Angie's Owl on a limb digital stamp this month.

Here is the card I created.

 I used Bountiful One collection from Authentique for the pattern paper and Butter Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey to create the card base.  

I then cut out a Badge Label die from Butter Cream Cardstock and detail cut the owl out and popped him up on the card base.

I colored the owl with Copics:

Owl: E39, E37, E35

Branch: E59, E57

Leaves: YG67, YG63, YG61

Beak: YR18

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from the Inside and Out stamp set with Black Licorice both from Fun Stampers Journey.

Please create your own creation and share it with us at Angie's Digital Stamps.
