Cut it Up Challenge #99

Hi Crafty Friends,
Cut it Up Challenge #99 is a 3-D project.  My Jaded Blossom dies made this an easy one for me.  I made a cute little birthday treat/gift bag using the Goody Bag Die and added a fun digi stamp from our challenge sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps.

I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the Goody Bag and front panel.  I colored the image using Prisma water color pencils blended using the Tombow blending pen N00.  I also added some Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle to the balloons and frosting.  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Sweet Birthday Wishes set which I stamped and then heat embossed.  The twine and sprinkles are from Doodlebug Designs.  The patterned paper is from PhotoPlay and is part of the Party Boy set.

YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS OUR NEXT CUT IT UP CHALLENGE #100.  MANY OF OUR PAST DESIGNERS WILL BE JOINING US AND WE'LL HAVE LOTS OF PRIZES!!!  LOOK FOR IT ON JULY 8.

For a Special Friend

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for Delightful Challenge #11.  You'll have four weeks to enter our challenge!! For my project, I've used the new Peggy Legz set from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

Isn't she cute?  I colored her using Copic Markers.  The mats were cut with stitched rectangles.  I added some ribbon and a cute little clothespin that I found at Target.

I hope you'll join in our challenge.  You could win a Digital Delights voucher and maybe be asked to join us as a guest design.  Just click the Challenge link above.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Dad Rocks!

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to post at Paper Crafting World.

Today I have a cute Father's Day card using the Dinosaur Babies cut file from PCW.
I've used only one of the four dinosaur babies in the set.

In order to have the dad and baby match, using my Silhouette. I copied the image, reversed it and then sized it down to make the baby.   I chalked the edges with VersaMark Chalk ink and used dimensionals to pop up the daddy dino.  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Father's Day set.  The papers are from my stash.

Have a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by. 

You're a Tough Cookie

Hi Crafty Friends, My daughter asked for a card to give to one of her customers who is scheduled for surgery soon. We decided to make a lollipop holder since we found the perfect Jaded Blossom sentiment and SVG Cutting Files cut file.   We love the way it turned out.

Jaded Blossom:  Lollipop Die, Mini Tag Dies, Get Well Stamp set, Milk and Cookies Stamp set SVG Cutting Files:  One Tough Cookie card which I altered in Silhouette studio cutting off half the card base and sizing it to fit the Lollipop holder I think her customer will get a kick out of the treat  and appreciate her thoughtfulness.

Cut It Up Challenge #98

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for another Cut it Up Challenge. Challenge #98 is Sand and Surf and don't forget to use a die cut.
Our challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps who provided this cute crab digital image for my project.

I used a sticker that I found in my stash from a Shop Hop that I went on about 4 years ago.  I just added some mats.  I used Jaded Blossom's Card Mat dies and Tropical dies as well.  The crab was colored using Prismacolor pencils and cut out with my Scan n Cut.  I decided not to use a blending agent but rather let the tooth of the paper show through.  I have a lot of experimenting to do using color pencils to determine what techniques and papers I like best.
I hope you'll join us in this challenge.  Don't forget to use a die cut.

The papers are Carta Bella Sew Lovely.  I colored the image using Prima Water Color Pencils.  I used a Lolliz gel pen for the thimble and needle and filled in the "N" with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.  The button and twine is from my stash. I cut the image out using my Scan n Cut.
Here's a look at the entire character collection.

For Dad

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to post on the Paper Crafting World Blog.

With Father's Day a little over two weeks away I thought I'd share Father's Day card.  My daughter laid claim to it before I even got it assembled!!!

I used Paper Crafting World's Tag Chevron - Dad cut file.  Right now it's on sale for only $1.  I was going through my masculine papers and found several that I thought would look good on this card.  I cut everything on my Silhouette.

There are lots of wonderful Dad's Day files in the PCW store.  Be sure to check them out.
