Hello crafty friends

New month and less than 6 months till Christmas.  How are you doing on being ready with your Christmas cards?  I am still very much behind, but I wanted to share a card I created recently.

Here is the card created.  I used mostly supplies and product from Lawn Fawn.

 

The card base is a piece of light blue cardstock from my stash and some pearly cardstock from my stash as well.

I then die cut the birdhouse pieces from the Build a Birdhouse die set from Lawn Fawn and the window from the Winter Wonderland Window die set from Lawn Fawn.  I colored the Christmas lights red and green with the Ohuhu markers.

I then colored the birds from the Winter Birds stamp set from Lawn Fawn using my Ohuhu markers.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from the Winter Birds set with Black ink on white card stock and added it to the card. 

One more card completed.  Please leave me a comment and then share with us a new Christmas card you have created at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog

Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge # 256- Anything goes with a Fancy Fold Twist

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Can you believe it is June already?  Today is my last day of work for the summer and I am so excited.  Only a few more hours and then it is all about crafting and relaxing this summer.  

This month's challenge at Crafty Gals Corner is Anything Goes with a Fancy Fold twist.  Since I plan to use this card as a birthday card for my brother, I did not do the fancy fold technique.

I chose this awesome Beryl the Biker from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for this month's challenge and perfect for my brother for his birthday.

 

 

Here is the card I created with this awesome digi.

 

I tried something a little different this time and used  Triblend markers to color the image.

Bike Metal, Tire, Jacket and Helmet: Ice Grey Blend

Skin: Fair Skin Blend

Pants: Twilight Sky Blend

Scarf: Burnt Orange Blend

Hair: Earth Brown Blend

Lights: Sand Blend

I fussy cut the image out and placed it on the card base using foam squares.  I used pattern paper from my stash to create the card base.  I then added some screw brads to the card panel for more interest.  To finish the card, I added the sentiment strip from Taylored Expressions- Simple Strips Birthday.

Now it is your turn.  Leave me a comment and then create a fun fold or fancy fold card and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner.
