Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #279 Anything Goes with a twist- Summer Vibes

 

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Summer is coming to end.  This can be a good thing if you are like me and do not like the heat.  Or if you like the heat you may be a little sad.  Either way, we still have a few more weeks of summer and a few more weeks to craft those summer projects.

This month's theme is Anything Goes with a twist of summer vibes over at Crafty Gals Corner.  I invite you to create summer projects to celebrate the season a little while longer.

I created a sweet summer card using La La Land Stamp that I stamped awhile ago and is not available on the website anymore. 

 I colored this sweet image with my Copics:

Skin: E13, E11, E00, E000

Hair: E49, E47, E57

Flowers, Lips, Shirt and Anklets:  R85, R83, R81

Skirt: G99, G94, G24

Lei: E23 

 The card base is made from cardstock, pattern paper from Kindred Stamps.

I created the shape that she is standing on with a label die from Fun Stampers Journey, that I folded, to make a flap.

The sentiment was cut from cardstock using the die from Erin Lee Creative LLC.

I finished the card by adding some palm leaves I cut with my Cricut and added a Baker's Twine pink bow on the left side.

Aloha to me is summer.  Luaus and BBQ's and water are summer to me.

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge # 278- Anything Goes with a Twist- Sweets for Dad

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Summer is upon us and the weather to match is here in Southern California.  I am not a summer girl, but love the break from teaching.  I fill my summer days with relaxing, crafting and sleeping.  This summer will be no different.  

Today we have a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner- Anything goes with a twist- Sweets for Dad.  Summer always starts with celebrating our Father's and sweets for my dad is about all he wants. 

Here is the card I created using a shaped die from Sizzix.

 

I first created the base of the donut using cardstock from my stash.  I layered the "frosting" on with dimension to build the layers up.  I then added sprinkles using Stickles in yellow, blue and green.  I then stamped and die cut the letters from the Outline Bet Die Set from Fun Stampers Journey on yellow cardstock.  I added these to the card using dimensions too.

The inside of the card, I added the sentiment from the Annual Celebration, also for Fun Stampers Journey. 

I think my dad will love this card.   Now, we would love to see what you create.  Create a new project and maybe put the twist on it and then share it with us over at Crafty Gals Corner.

Also, please leave me a comment, letting me know your thoughts on my "paper" donut.  

***Just as a reminder, the Crafty Gals Corner design team will be taking the month of July off, but we will be back with a new challenge in August.  Have a very crafty summer! 

 

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #277- Anything goes with a twist- Flowers for Mom

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

May is here and the end of another school year is quickly approaching.  I always love the month of May with it's anticipation for summer, but all the pretty colors of flowers that spring up this time of year.  When I saw the twist this month for Crafty Gals Corner, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

I have had this paper in my stash for awhile and I thought what better time to color this panel up but now.

Here is the card I created:

 

I loved coloring this panel with my Copic Markers:

Greens: YG61, G82, G19, G24, YG09, G03

Yellows: Y08, Y13

Pinks: RV17, RV55, RV66, RV55

Purples: V25, V22

Blues: BG02, BG01

Oranges: YR14, YR02

Reds: R29, R14, R59, R29

I finished the card by adding the sentiment from Taylored Expressions, stamped in black ink on white cardstock and die cut out.  I then added a few pearls to the center of the pink flowers.

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's day and have an even better May.  Get out and smell the flowers. 

Thank you for stopping by,  Please leave me a comment and then share your flower projects with us at Crafty Gals Corner.  

 

 

Crafty Gals Corner-Challenge #276- Anything Goes with a "Spring" twist

 

Hello crafty friends,

We are starting the fourth month of the year and we are speeding right through the year.   I can't believe that Easter was just this past weekend and as a teacher we are getting ready for state testing and then the end of the year.  

Spring is always a time that is full of bright colors and fun animals.  For the new challenge this month at Crafty Gals Corner, I brought out this cute ladybug girl stamp from Stamp Anniething, I believe.

Here is the card I created:

 

I colored the image with my Copics.

I then made the card base and background with paper from Echo Park "Little Ladybug" paper pack.  I die cut a few different sizes of circles.  The ladybugs and the sentiment is from the Echo Park paper pack. Simple but so cheerful.

Please leave me a comment and then join the challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  Can't wait to see what yu create.  

Craft Gals Corner- Challenge 275 Anything Goes w/twist: Make it Green

Hello Crafty Friends,

Can you believe it is March already?  Where is the year going?  We are soon going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and then Easter.  The days are flying by.

Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, the challenge this month at Crafty Gals Corner is to create with a Green twist, so let's see those St. Patrick's day cards.

I went a little different with my card and went green toward the "Wicked" theme.

Here is the card I created using stamps from Kindred Stamps.

I could not come up with an appropriate background to create, so I used the powers of the internet and I searched fro a background from the movie.  I liked how one side was pink and one was green, perfect to place the two girls in front.

I then set out to color the girls with my Copic markers 

Elphaba:

Hat, cloak, dress and shoes: N7, N6, N4, N2

Broom Handle:  E47, E44, E42

Broom Bristles: E34, Y15, Y13

Skin: G17, YG07, YG05, YG03, YG01

Lips: G29, G12, G14

Hair: T8, T5, T3 

Glinda

Skin:E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R22, R20

Hair: E47, E44, E42, Y00

Lips: RV34, RV32, RV10

Crown and Earrings: C3, C0

Scepter: C3, C1, C00

Dress: RV14, RV13, RV10 

The sentiment is from the same set as the images.  I stamped it with Versamark and embossed with white powder.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my contribution to the challenge.  Now please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

Then, please plan to share with us over at Crafty Gals Corner, you "green" projects.

Crafty Gals Corner- Challenge #273- Anything Goes with a Snowman twist

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to 2026 and a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  I hope you are crafting the new year in and loving every minute.  I have big goals this year, crafting wise.  Stay tuned.

Today we start the year at Crafty Gals Corner with a new challenge "Anything Goes with a Snowman Twist".  Snowmen are my favorite, so I had a hard time coming up with just one project to share.  I could fill a whole month of Snowmen projects.

I chose this stunning card I created.

 

I used the Lawn Fawn set "Snowball Fight" and went out of my comfort zone and used pink as the theme for this card.

The background was created using Distress inks and splattered some sparkle silk.  I then colored the image using my Copics, cut them out and layered them to create this fun scene.  I love the sentiment that goes with this set, "We have snow much fun together".  These mice really do know how to have fun in the snow.

Now it is your turn.  Leave me a comment  and then create a project and try adding a snowman to it and share it with us over at Crafty Gals Corner.  We would love to see your creations.
