Cupcake Layering

Happy Labor Day weekend!  I thought I'd start off my long weekend by doing a little crafting so I'm sharing this little birthday tag I created using another up cycled counter sample and a Cupcake digi stamp from My Whimsical Little World.

I took the cute Cupcake digi and printed six copies on one sheet.  I knew I wanted to layer it so I colored in different parts on each image with my Copics, fussy cut them all, and layered them with little bits of foam tape.  I coated the flame with some glossy accents.  While that was drying, I grabbed my tile piece, added a strip of patterned paper that's cut with a curve (a scrap of some other project!).  Once the flame was dry, I placed it on my tile and added a little shading on the patterned paper with a grey Copic.  To finish it all off, I added a few pieces of bling, some ribbon, and some twine.

I'm playing along with a couple of challenges on this one -

Winter Thinking

Well we got a little more snow today and during my stamp reorganizing I found a set that I haven't used much... Anya Scarves.  So I was inspired!!

I stamped and colored her with some copics.  I paper pieced her hat, scarf, gloves, and sweater.  I airbrushed the aqua around her and pierced around the frame instead of matting her onto another piece of cardstock.  Layered some pattern papers on the stamped background then popped the main image on some foam tape after adding some ribbon.  To finish it off, I added some matching candy buttons.  I loooove the color combo!

Since I was using a dark card base, I wanted to make sure the inside had an easy space to write a message or stamp a sentiment once I find a use for the card, so I mocked the front layout but rotated it to go horizontal instead.

And here's a close up of the image.  I added some shading to the paper pieced pieces with my copics.  I love how that added some more dimension to her.

Since I was inspired by our cold/snowy/icy weather, I'm playing along with the Simon Wednesday Challenge - Ice Inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

Keeping the Mojo Flowing

Back with two more cards today!  CPS's fifth anniversary celebration is really getting me in the crafting mood.  Tonight I created two cards based on their latest sketches for the anniversary celebration.

The first one is for day 5 of the celebration using sketch #38 -

Pin It

Pretty quick and simple... once I saw the sketch the idea hit me.  The thing that took the longest was getting that flower made.  I've only made one of these before and was not happy with the outcome, but this one I like and it's a great way to use up some of my ribbon I have!

This card will be playing along with:

CPS 5th Anniversary Day 5 (#38)

The second card I made was inspired by Day 6, sketch #37 and by all of the pregnant girls I know (I know at least 6 at the moment!!).  Not all of them are finding out the sex of the baby, but the ones who have are all having girls.  So here's hoping one of the others has a boy ;)

Pin It

I found the Giraffe tag from We R Memory keepers in one of my drawers and had to use it.  This card was even quicker to make than the first one!

This little cutie will be playing along with:

Simon Says Stamp - Animal Antics

CPS Day 6, #37

(using Baby Mama with Tina Fey as my movie)

Well, I hope you liked my two quick cards for today.  Have a great weekend!

Copics in Storage

This week, I challenged myself to color images without using my copics.  I love coloring my stamps from Some Odd Girl with those magical markers, so I thought I'd color Gwen in using my Prismacolors...

The card is based on this weeks CPS sketch:

I flipped it 180 degrees and made it a trifold card.  The front image on the scalloped oval flips up to reveal the inside fold and small sentiment...

Then that panel folds down to reveal where a written message would be...

In addition to the CPS challenge, I'm playing along with:

Lily Pad's Patterned Paper Challenge

Anything Goes Challenge

Some Odd Girl's Color Challenge

I'll be back tomorrow to finish up my challenge week with one more non-Copic colored creation!

Happy Birthday, Man!

This week, I'm playing along with YCU's Masculine Card Challenge.  I decided to make a set because I was using some Mister Huey's color mists and the cards were made pretty quickly.

I sprayed the color mists onto white card stock.  Added the black washi tape, a button tied on with twine, and embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment.  Then matted it on a black card base... quick and easy!

Here are the individual cards - 

Bluegrass

Orchard

Bonny Blue

Clover

Challenges this set will be playing along with:

Anything Goes!
