Winter Birds

2019 is here and this is our first challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers  and our theme is Winter. 

I made this winter card using a card die set called Pop Up Circle Accordion  by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Thought the die set went well with my winter birds and Let it Snow sentiment die. 

For my winter birds I used 2 winter birds by Bugaboo.  I thought they suited the frame of the cards. I also used white glitter, Nuvo Crystal Drops, Gel Pen, and copics to colour the card.

Meowy Christmas

Come and Get It Challenges this week has a great challenge.  The challenge is just to use a ribbon and/or twine on your project.  I used an image called Christmas Cat Toppers by one of my favourite sponsors Bugaboo.  The images makes me smile .

This so glad we are friends care was made for the Polka Dot Challenge at Come and Get It Challenges this week. I used this cute image from Bugaboo Stamps called  Bug Brat Sister2

To make my card I used a background embossing folder from We are Memory Keeper, I thought the background went well with the card.  I coloured the image with Copics, added some dots in the background with a rubber stamp by JRL Design.   The sentiment is by Stampin Up.  I added a flower, gem and glittered corners to complete the card.

Welcome to Another Great Not Just Cards Challenge.

Thank you for stopping by, these are my projects for this weeks Not Just Cards "anything goes" challenge.  Lots of great sponsor this week with a lot of great prizes for the winners.   I am a snowbird and travelling California and Arizona with our 25 foot trailer so sometimes crafting can be a challenge especially getting a good picture of your project. Please note that the greener behind my pics are orange and lemon trees and they are loaded with fruit.

House Piggy Bank

My first project I created was this fun piggy bank with Whimsical House digital stamp by Bugaboo one of our sponsors this week.  My inspiration for the box was a pottery piggy bank I saw at the craft show a few weeks ago.

To make the piggy bank I used a  empty coffee filter box I had in my recycle box and wrapped the box with the image.  The image did not quite fit the box so I printed the image a couple of times and cut out some on the houses on their own to complete the penny bank look I was wanting to achieve.   I then took the extra plant pots for the roof of one of the houses and added them around the bottom of the project.  The houses were coloured with Copic Markers, a gelli pen and Panpastels. I created the top of the box in coordinating papers and die cut an opening to for the coins to be put in.

Bicycle Rider Planter

My second project was made with an image from another one of our great sponsors, A Random Fan, called Monet's Bike.  I think she is just so cute.  I found this  cute little fence planter at a garage sale, at least that is what I think it is and decided that it would be a great way of displaying the image.   I coloured the image with my Copic Markers and attached her to the planter, I then added a ring of paper inside the fence area to hide the yogurt container I used to hold the greener.  The greener came of a tree in the yard which I added some paper punched flowers to to give the project a little more interest and colour.            

Remember to pop over the Not Just Cards Blog to see the projects of the other design team members.  Hope you will join us this week.  Have a creative day.

Christmas Elves

I am hosting the the challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week  and I chose a Christmas Elf Challenge.  Bugaboo is the sponsor this week and I used their cute Elf Pocket for my card. 

I paper pieced my little elf,  I liked the paisley pattern paper of his pocket.   I added some glitter and bling for Christmas sparkle.  

Hope you will join us this week.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. 

Christmas Calendar

This altered clip board was made for this weeks Not Just Cards challenge.   I used a Bugaboo Christmas image called Ava and Deacon Christmas Sign.  Bugaboo is one of our fabulous sponsors this week.  Check out Not Just Cards and see the beautiful work of the design team and the great sponsors and prizes we have.

I coloured my image with Copic Markers and Distress Ink, found a calendar on a google search and added some Christmas bling.  I hope you enjoy the project and will join us this week at Not Just Cards.  

Fairy Christmas

Thank you for stopping by, this  is one of my projects for Not Just Cards anything goes challenge this week. I thought I would make a Kleenex box cover for Christmas.  I think it would look cute in the bathroom.  I used a digital stamp from Bugaboo one of our sponsors of the challenge, called Fairy Christmas. 

Once I figured out the dimensions of my box I constructed it and covered the box with some very pretty Designer Christmas paper.  I also used the paper on the back panel.  The image was coloured with a gelli pen, glitter and Copic Markers.  I used Tim Holtz's Holly dies for the holly and used glitter on the leaves and berries to give the project some Christmas sparkle. 

Hope you will join in our challenge. Have a creative day.

Swapping Fun

My yahoo group Inky Fun Stampers has an upcoming cards swap with a theme of what does “L” stand for.  L is for live, love and laugh of course.  I found this pretty digi image on the web site of Bugaboo digi stamps.  Thought it was a great match for the swap.

 The butterfly is one of my new Hero Arts stamp and die cutters. I coloured the images with a combination of Copics, distressed inks and glitter, then added a couple of layers of co-coordinating paper to finish the card.

This cute pocket tag card was also made for an upcoming Inky Fun Stampers tag  swap with the theme “anything goes”.  The tag fits in this cute matching envelope that is small enough to fit into a size A2 envelope for mailing.  The hummingbird is by Stampendous.

Remember to do something creative for yourself and have a wonderful day.

Card Sketch Time At Come And Get It Challenges

I created this card for the card sketch challenge at Come and Get It Challenges this week.  This is the challenge sketch card. 

And this is my card.

I used one of our sponsor Bugaboo digi stamps for the card along with a Italian poem rubber stamp by Hero Arts  from my stash of rubber stamps.  The digi stamp is from Bugaboo’s series of block stamps.  They are a wonderful idea.  You can use part of the stamp or the whole stamp as a background and size them as needed.  I can see where you could get a lot of use out of the one image.  

Check out Bugaboo's collection of digi images at

I also used a die cutter butterfly, dimensional pearls, a sentiment and some bling to complete this sketch card.  Come join the fun at Come and Get it Challenges.
