____________________________________________

For my project, I created a card for my son.  He is a huge donut lover! One of his favorites is a sprinkled strawberry donut from Krispy Kreme. 

I used my Silhouette software and Dr. Digi's Coffee Time.  I took the the two donuts and created a background panel for the card front.  

Once printed and cut the panel with my Cameo.  Then I used a Simon Says Stamps Stitched Rectangle die and Distress Tea Dye ink to give it a finished look.

I cut a larger donut twice, glued them together to give the shape more strength/thickness.  Then I popped it up on foam squares, and tucked it just behind a banner.    

For the inside of the card, I added two donuts to a rectangle and cut it with the same die as the front panel.  

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp - Sentiments for You, stamped in Versamark Onyx Black ink.  

Be sure to head over to the Crafty Gals blog and link your creation.  

Good Luck!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge

It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner blog.   Our theme this month is Buttons and/or Bows.  

And our wonderful sponsor is MoonFlower Digistamps. 

      

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

I used MoonFlower digistamps' Gigi Little Mermaid Gigi for my card today.  

I printed the image onto drawing cardstock.  I colored her in with Prisamcolor pencils.  After trimming the panel down, I inked the edges with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide.  The panel is layered on dark purple cardstock, then onto a grey card base.  

For the button, I added a Gina K Designs button from my stash to the flower in her hair.  I also added Stickles to the bubbles.  

I printed the image, a bit smaller, on an aqua card panel.  I stamped a sentiment from CardzTV Summer Fun stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  

To coordinate with the front image, I added Stickles to the bubbles again.

Spring - Crafty Gals Corner Challenge

 Happy Wednesday!

Today starts a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.    This month's theme is Spring/Easter.

We are so thankful for our sponsors.....

The Paper Shelter

Prize ~ 3 Digital Stamps

............................................................

For the challenge, I created a card....isn't it cute?

I used Paper Shelter's Spring Elves file.  I planned my project in my Silhouette software.  I created a print n cut for the image, flower heads, and sentiment.   I printed the images on Gina K's Luxury White cardstock.  I love how vibrant the colors are on this cardstock.  The sentiment was colored with Copies R02, R11 and R14.  

I layered the images on Bazzil Icy Mint cardstock, that I lightly inked the edges of with Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass ink.  Then, I used a few grey Copics to ground the image a bit.  

I added some Spectrum Noir glitter pen to the flowers, and some white signo gel pen to the pink flowers and the wheelbarrow for some added interest. 

I couldn't leave the image flat...so I popped the flowers up on foam squares.  

I finished the inside of the card with a few more flowers, with glitter pen, to match the front.  

Crafty Girls Blog Challenge

 Happy Wednesday!  

It's time for a challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner.    This challenge's theme is Add A Flower.  Our wonderful sponsor is Beccy's Place. 

I used Beccy's Sunflower/Gerber image.  

I placed the image in my Silhouette software and added a sentiment underneath vertically.  

I colored the image with my Copic markers.  I cut the panel with a Simon Says Stamps die and layered it on MFT Pink Lemonade and Raspberry cardstock, from my stash. 

I added some Spectrum Noir Sparkles Glitter Pen to the flower for some added interest.  

I added a blank panel on the inside for a personal message for the recipient.

*******************************

My first project with the paper and die pack is a mini album.  I used a project sheet from Graphic 45.  I have been wanting to make this  album for a while.  And this paper pack/die cut set was perfect for it.  

*******************************

My next creations are layouts.  I have three children who have lifebooks that we like to add to as the years go by.  

The inspiration for my layout is Sketch 5 from this TSR challenge. The Easter egg was used instead of a circle to help ground the layout and establish the theme.  The egg is perfect peeking out from all the great papers.  The flag is a piece from a theme park svgs file of Miss Kate's.  I didn't use a traditional title.  I took a word form the Easter Word Art File.  When it was adhered, I curved it slightly to fit the egg shape.  Ice Stickles were added to give the whole layout a bit of something.  

*******************************

The inspiration for this layout is from Sketch Savvy #153.  I added a title from the die cut pack, adhered with foam tape, and an Easter egg from Miss Kate's Set of 4 Easter eggs.  

*******************************

For this layout, I use sketch 1 from Creative Memories.  I cut all the patterned paper with my Silhouette Cameo and Miss Kate's blade.  I added Easter eggs, in place of the flowers from the sketch.  Some of them I stamped with a Peachy Keen background stamp and Unicorn Pigment Ink.

MKC April Facebook Challenge

It's challenge time for Miss Kate Cuttable FB group.  The theme is Bunnies. 

For my project, I created two box cards. A girl and boy version.  

I created the base card with a Lori Whitlock Silhouette file and an ivory card stock.

The layered inserts I created using Boy Bunny Holidng Carrot, Girl Bunny Holding Egg, Easter Borders, and Easter Eggs Title.

I added Stickles to the title, bow of the boy bunny, and the large Easter egg of the girl bunny card.  

The greeting and the eggs were adhered with foam tape.  I didn't like the way they looks flat on the patterned paper.  

I look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.  

Thanks for spending time with me. 

Baby Boy Card

Hey!  Today is my day to post for the MKC DT design inspiration.  For my project, I created a baby boy card.  

I have a grand son due in a few weeks, so I thought I'd make a card for him.  

I love, love, love how this card turned out.  

I used 3 MKC cutting files, Baby Mine - Boy, Baby Mine Title Boy, and Valentine Elephant.  All pieces, but the elephant, were cut from MFT card stock.  It cuts like butter with MKC blades in my Silhouette Cameo.  The elephant was cut from a Simple Stories paper pad.  The base panel paper is from an embossed DCWV paper pad.  

I put the elephant on pop dots for some dimension.

And added Spectrum Noir glitter pen to the letters.

The inside of the card was simply decorated to allow for a handwritten message.  

Thanks for take moment to visit me.
