Double Trouble Guest Designer - Something, Anything, Everything Challenge #98

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge at The Double Trouble Challenge Blog.  The theme this round is Something, Anything, Everything and you can earn extra chances in the Random Draw by entering in challenges with previous partners.

I've had a great time guest designing with the team this month and today is my last GDT project.  It's been a true honor!

For my project today, I've created a Christmas Card in non-traditonal colors (which I love) using a digital image from the Cozy Girl Set by Le Petite Market on Etsy.

I've colored the image using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the designer papers are from the "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad by Doodlebug Design.

To finish off the design, I've popped the focal image on craft foam for dimension, addded faux gems from Kat Scrappiness and a sentiment strip that has been embossed with fine detail white power on a snippet of black card.

Please join us at The Double Trouble Challenges, we would love to see your designs!  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Winter Fox and Hot Cocoa

 Hello and Happy Thursday.  Today's make and share features the Lawn Fawn Winter Fox Stamp and Sentiment, designer papers from the Doodlebug Designs "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad.

The focal image was colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and fussy cut, then mounted on a die cut and embossed circle.  A smaller circle was die cut and used for the sentiment, silver mirror card used as a mat and thin accent strip with clear gems added for interest. 

I often forget about the smaller Lawn Fawn stamps sets I have in my stash.  In my continuing efforts to use what I have, I dug deep and came across this set and the Narwhal set I featured earlier this week; both perfect for Winter Themed cards.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Have a Narly Winter!

 Happy Sunday to you!  I hope your weekend has been productive and crafty thus far and you are staying warm and healthty.  Today's make and share features an adorable Narwhal with a sweet Winter Wish.

For this A2 sized card, I colored the Lawn Fawn "Winter Narwhal" image using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  Using the coordinating dies, I cut the Narwhal and Bubbles, mounted on a die cut and enbossed circle which I popped up on foam pads.  

The designer papers are from the Doodlebug Designs "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad and the sentiment is from the "Winter Narwhal" set. I used silver mirror card as a mat and accent strip along with an edge punch for a fun edging on the horizontal panel. For a final touch, I added clear gems to accent the wintery, underwater theme.

Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Bugaboo Stamps

 Hello and Happy Thursday!  Today on the Bugaboo Stamps Catch the Bug Blog, it's Oldie But Goodie Thursday.  I love using the newest images but I also like to go through the older ones and create something fun.  Today I created a Winter Themed Card with the Snowman Set 2 Collection.  This collection consists of 3 images and 3 sentiments, it's a great value and very versatile.  

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, the designer papers are from the Doodlebug "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad.  I used Stitched Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness to cut the matting and focal image.  Lastly, I placed some sequins and added Wink of Stella to the Heart for Sparkle and Shine.

Please stop by the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog to see what's going on....there is a challenge running and don't forget to visit again starting December 12th...Holiday Chaos starts at Bugaboo with lots of inspiration and prizes!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Ornamental Shaker Card

 Hello and Happy Saturday!  I've had a lovely day at the Craft table and I hope you had the opportunity to do some Holiday crafting as well.  Today's make features elements from the Hero Arts October 2020 Monthly Card Kit, Silver Mirror Card, Glitter and Fine Eyelash Yarn. 

I created a shaker card using the Ornament from the Hero Arts Kit.  I die cut the ornament using silver mirror card, die cut 2 Reindeer and put the shaker element together adding 2 types of fine glitter for the inside.  The designer papers are from the Doodlebug Designs "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad, the sentiment and tiny Reindeer are also from the Hero Arts kit, the fine eyelash yarn came from my stash (purchased from an Etsy Seller a few years ago).

I'm pleased with the results as Shaker Cards are definitely not my specialty.  I took an extra bit of time making sure to get every piece of the shaker element correct.  My husband said just the ornament would make a nice gift to include in Happy Mail; I'm not sure I have the patience to create more than 1 of these at a time.  It is pretty though and I like the non-traditional colors of the designer papers.

Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!
