Winter Friends

Hello everyone. For my inspiration post at LeAnn's World 101, I chose this sweet image called "Winter Friends" for my focus.

The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and framed with a piece of green designer paper. This was adhered to the snowman designer paper. I cut 2 trees from another piece of designer paper and used pop dots to give them dimension. While looking for ribbon to add to the top, I found this beautiful organdy ribbon with reindeer embossed on it and tied it into a knot.

I hope you till stop by LeAnn's World Challenge Blog and join in on this fun challenge.

Hugs,

Terri

Winter Drive

Brrrr! Well, winter has arrived here in Northeast Ohio.  In the hopes of a white Christmas, I decided to create a card that gives the feeling of a beautiful winter day for the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge beginning today. Our hostess for this challenge is Vickie and her theme is:

"Create a Winter Scene"

The image for my card is from a set of digi stamps given to the members of Richard Garay's Facebook group RG Studio360.

The base card is Navy Blue card stock. The background paper is from a DCWV Christmas pad. After printing out the two trucks, I colored them with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut around them. Two pieces of white card stock were torn to make the hills of snow. The trucks were adhered with pop dots to add dimension. I used a Fiskars small punch to create the snowflakes and added clear gems to the center. The sentiment panel was included with the truck digi stamps.

Be sure to stop by the Sisterhood to check out the design team's beautiful inspiration projects and join in the fun.

Happy Holidays!

Matt & Molly Rockin'

Hello everyone! The new challenge begins today at Leann's World 101. I am definitely in the Christmas mood and wanted to express the fun and excitement around this time of year.

I chose this sweet image of Matt and Molly dancing for my focus. Looks like they are having a great time and makes me want to party.

The base card is white card stock and the designer paper is from a pack of Stampin' Up paper I had purchased quite a few years ago. This was one of my favorite packs of paper and thankfully I had enough left to create this card. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencil and after threading the green satin ribbon through the button holes, I tied them in bows and ahered them with a heavy glue.

I would love for you to join our challenge at Leann's World 101. Why not stop by and check out the design team's inspiration projects and enter for your chance to win.

Leann is also having a 12 Days of Christmas Event on her Facebook Group page. Check it out if you have a chance.

Lavender Bouquet

The Sisterhood of Crafters begins a new challenge today with Debbie as our hostess. The theme for this challenge is:

"Stitched Dies"

When I found a pack of 3D decoupage flowers, I knew they would be perfect for this challenge.

The base of the card is a piece of Recollections lavender card stock. Next I added this beautiful piece of lace, then the oval stitched die panel. Then I began layering the 3D flower pieces and added white pearls to the corners. I did not add a sentiment because I am not sure how I will use this card. It would make a beautiful Birthday, Sympathy, Thinking of You, Get Well or Encouragement card.

If you would like to take part in this challenge, just head on over to the Sisterhood, check out the other team members inspiration projects and enter your own creation.

Have a wonderful day!

Angel Music

Today at LeAnn's World 101, I shared a project for my inspiration post using the image "Musica" found here.

I started with a base of white card stock and added a panel of Christmas Reindeer designer paper. Next I cut a 2 1/2" square, cut it in half diagonally and added a piece to the top left and bottom right corners. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and I used a gold glitter gel pen for the harp. Using my Cuttlebug, I cut the mat and the image panel with cross stitched rectangle dies. The image was adhered to the mat with pop dots to add dimension. The sentiment was stamped with India ink onto a strip of white card stock and adhered to a strip of the Reindeer paper. The sentiment strip was also adhered to the bottom right hand corner with pop dots. The gold metallic ribbon was added to coordinate with the gold on the harp.

I hope you will stop by LeAnn's World 101 and join in on the fun. This is a month-long, "Anything Goes" challenge. The design team has created some gorgeous projects for your inspiration.

Darlene is the hostess of the next challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters and the theme is:

"Mood Board"

Create a card or project using the photos below as your inspiration.

 

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and so I chose this beautiful photo found on Pinterest to create my Thanksgiving card.

The base card is medium brown card stock, then I created a mat with Pumkin card stock.The leaf stems were created using a Sizzix die. The leaf stem is actually bigger than the pieces on the card, but I cut a few leaves off each stem so it would fit better. Then I added the pearls for dimension. I love the verse. It reminds me to always be thankful for God's blessings.

Why not stop by the Sisterhood and see the inspiration projects the team has to share and then enter your creations?

 (front)

 

(inside)

The card base was created using white card stock and adding the striped paper by DCWV. SU's scalloped punch was used to create the black mats and SU's circle punch was used to create the gray panel for the sentiment and face stamps. Wiggle eyes were adhered with clear glue.

Wanderer

For new challenge at Crafting With An Attitude, I wanted to do a fall scene. My husband and I love to hike in the wood's when time permits so for the focus of my card I chose this image from Sheepski Designs called Wanderer.

After coloring the digi of the Wanderer and squirrel with prismacolor pencils, I fussy cut around them and adhered with pop dots for dimension. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of white card stock and adhered with a glue runner. Last a I added the flowers that have been in my stash forever and added an ivory pearl for the center.

I did not add a sentiment inside, because I'm not sure if I will use this card for a retirement or birthday card. It would work well for either.

Fall Leaves

Studio 71 markers from Pat Catans were used to color the image. I just love the bright colors. I don't remember where I got the sentiment stamp, but I thought it fit perfectly with the flourish around the image. After adhering everything to the tan card base, I splattered Fun Stampers Gold Silk in onto the card.

"Printed Page Background"

The background for my card is a piece of card stock from DCWV that fits the theme perfectly.

 

Before adhering the printed panel to a white card stock base, I used a sponge to add gray ink to the panel. Then I stamped the flower silhouette in gray on a white square of card stock and added 3 black gems. This panel was matted with a square black panel. The sentiment panel was created in the same way. Black organdy ribbon was added to the image panel, then adhered to the base with pop dots for dimension. The sentiment panel was also adhered with pop dots.

Steamed Heat

A new challenge has begun a the Stinkin' Inkers and the theme is:

"Steamed Heat"

Create a card or project using an image that reminds you of summer.

I love anything vintage and retro, so when I found this image on Pinterest I knew it would be perfect for this theme. The printed background reminded me of sand dollars found at the beach and was adhered to a white card stock base. I cut the doily in half and attached it to the back of the card, then adhered the panel to the designer paper. After stamping the sentiment in black ink onto a strip of white card stock I fussy cut around it. I attached the sentiment panel to a strip of kraft paper and fussy cut again. I used pop dots to give the panel dimension. Next I added the white ribbon tied a knot. Last I stamped the sea star and sea shell with light brown ink, attached to the card with pop dots and added a pearl center.

This is where I would like to be right now. Sitting beside the sea, reading a book, with an ice cold drink.

Stampin' Up "Blue Bashful" card stock was layered onto a white card base.  I then tore a piece of light brown card stock and added it to the blue for the sand. The clouds were fussy cut and adhered with pop dots. I stamped the sentiment with black ink onto the largest cloud.

Star Congrats

The new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters, hosted by Darlene, is

"Favorite Color"

My favorite color has always been blue. Any shade of blue. So for this challenge I wanted to make a card using different shades of blue with just a touch of white.

 

I used a star embossing folder to emboss the light blue panel and layered that onto a navy card stock base. I then used navy ink to stamp the image onto a light blue strip and adhered that to a navy blue strip and glued to the top of the card. After cutting 3 narrow strips of navy blue card stock, adhered them to the front of the card, cutting the extra that hung over the edges. Next I cut 3 medium white stars and added small navy blue stars to the center and glued the to the center strip. Then I cut 2 medium navy stars and added 2 light blue stars to the center and glued them under the narrow strips.

This would make a great graduation or retirement card. Especially for the guys.

Head on over to the Sisterhood and check out my sistahs inpiration projects and enter you creations. Limit of 3 entries per person.

Flyin' High

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by for a visit. The new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters begins today and Darlene is our hostess. The theme is:

"Something you might see in the sky"

I always loved to take my girls to the park and fly kites. It was great seeing other families out flying their bright colored kites. Unfortunately, that seems to be a long lost activity. 

I decided to try my hand at creating a kite. First, I cut the diamond shape and colored with Marvy markers.

I found this paper in my stash and that gave me the idea to create the kite. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I purchased it.

Once I created the kite I added black cord and knotted gingham ribbon to create the tail and adhered it to the background with pop dots. Then I added the red gingham bow.

I used the fancy label punch to create the sentiment panel and stamped the sentiment in black ink.

The sistahs would love to see your creations, so why not head on over to the Sisterhood and check out the inpiration projects, then enter for your chance to win.

Have a great day and as always, Happy Crafting!

My project for the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge beginning today is a card featuring punch art tulips.

Birds & Daisies

Hello everyone! I am excited to share my newest creation with you for the new challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters, hosted by Darlene.

Dar has chosen the theme of "Birds" for her challenge today. I can hardly wait for all the beautiful Spring birds to show up. Last month, I did catch a glimpse of a beautiful cardinal against a background of freshly fallen snow on some of our warmer days.

Just think before long, the chickadees, goldfinches, bluejays and robins will be singing their songs to announce Spring's arrival.

So with that in mind, here is my creation for this challenge.

The background paper is from DCWV and features daisies. The image is from a pack of images by K & Company. The sentiment is from one of the Hampton Art stamp sets that I told you about last month and once again the beautiful gold edged green satin ribbon is from Reasonable Ribbon. My friend, Judy, gave me the blue and yellow card stock that I used to mat the image.

So why don't you head on over to the Sisterhood and join in the challenge? My sistahs have some gorgeous inspiration projects to share with you.

Have a great day and Happy Crafting!

Sunbonnet Bouquet

The new challenge at Crafting With An Attitude began today and for my inspiration project I chose this adorable image called "Sunbonnet Flowers" from Bugaboo for my focus.

 

The image was colored with Spectrum Noire colored pencils. I chose this polka dot designer paper from the Paper Studio basic pad for the background and then adhered a piece of orange lattice designer from the same pad and cut with label die. (Sorry, I forgot to write down the name & company for the die.) After fussy cutting around the image, I used pop dots for dimension and added some silk flowers to the  flower pot with white pearls for the centers. Then using my 

1 1/2" scalloped circle punch and a 1 3/8" circle punch, I created the mat for the sentiment. Last I wrapped some green twine around the card twice and tied in a bow.

I remember when I was a little girl anything with sunbonnets was in style. For example: quilts, pillowcases etc. I am so glad to find digi stamps such as this.

That's my project for today. Why not head over to the Crafting With An Attitude challenge blog and enter? You could be our next winner.

Until next time,

Hugs from Ohio,

Terri
