CRAFT Challenge Blog #758

 Hi friends!

Today I have my latest design team project for the CRAFT Challenge Blog. This one is super quick and simple. The theme is Christmas. The sponsor is: Polkadoodles Crafts and the design I am using is: Christmas Tree Fun Theo Penguin. 

 I used the print and cut feature in Silhouette Studio for the design. I used a square die to cut out black and a rectangle die to cut out the patterned paper. I glued them  together as shown and used white splatter for snow. 

 

That easy!

Love Blooms Here with White Spruce Studios

 Hi friends!

Today I have this beautiful card using two designs by White Spruce Studio.

 I used these designs:

Garden of Daisy Doodles 

 Bumblebee

 I start planning the design of the project by bringing both digital designs into Silhouette Studio. I duplicate the bumblebee and make one bigger than the other. 

I set up the page to the print and cut feature by turning on the registration marks. Once I was happy with the sizing of the bumblebees, I chose a sentiment and added to the page also. I printed the page and had my Silhouette Cameo cut out the shapes.

I colored the Daisy Doodle with alcohol markers.

 

I think cut the bumblebees out using cardstock, glitter cardstock and vellum. 

Lawn Fawn vellum has an iridescent finish which is great for wings. They don't seem to sell the pack pictured but they do still have blue in the variety pack I have listed below.

Once all pieces are cut, it is time to assemble. Gluing small pieces is made much easier by using reverse tweezers. They stay closed until you squeeze them and that makes a this task so much easier.

 

Now we have all the pieces of the project and time to assemble it!

I ended up shading the sentiment a blue color to help it stand out.

Craft Challenge Blog #757

 Hi friends!

I am here with this week's card for CRAFT Challenge Blog.

The theme is Cute or Anything Goes.

The sponsor is: The Paper Shelter and the design I am using is: Gnome with a Daisy

 When you download the file, they provide a design already colored and one that you can color yourself. Normally, I color myself but I really loved the colors they chose and used that.

I used Silhouette's Print and Cut feature to print the gnome out and the Cameo cut it out for me. I cut out a hexagon for the background. I stenciled cute shaped on to the background using a metallic ink to give it a little shimmer. I used gold splatter paint over the whole panel. I attached the gnome with adhesive foam for dimension. The sentiment is stamped and set with white embossing powder.
