Mix It Up Challenge Blog #46: Birthday Twist Card

 Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here with my post for Mix It Up Challenge Blog, this month we want to see some "fancy folds".  

I tried a new fold from a SVG file for my cutting machine.  This is a Twist Pop Card from Lori Whitlock SVG

My fancy fold is inside the card.  The "wish" panel actually twist sideways to fit neatly in the card.

This is the card completely opened.  Trying something new can be challenging and fun.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #55: Star Anise Spice Bag

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Lots of inspiration today with all the sister challenge blogs going live today.  This is my post for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, where every month is everything goes.  Please show us what you have been creating.

I ordered some spices online, because it's seems like that's how we are living and staying safe these days, and received this bag.  Of course I couldn't leave it black and white ... it needed color.

The Star Anise spice is not the brightest spice, but it is pretty to look at.  The bag is colored with my prismacolor pencils

It's a nice heavy canvas bag and when it's safe, I can take it to the store and it will be unique.

Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog #28: Snowman Winterland

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Not that anyone is counting, but Christmas is 47 days away, time to get busy with all those projects.  This is my post for Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, where we love Christmas projects all year around :o)

This is a cute little card from Lori Whitlock's svg, called Wiper Card Christmas Snowman.  Personally, I think svg files have made it easier for crafters.  No more measuring and making sure each measurement is correct for each fold.  Projects can be made a little faster.  Some files, you have to resize.  Choosing what color of paper for each piece can be challenging.  Just wish the mat would stay stickier longer.

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #139: Happy Fall

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Here's my post for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog where this month is Anything Goes.  

Who doesn't love Fall; the smells, the colors, and the crisp air.  I found this cute Fall bendy card svg design at Lori Whitlocks: Flexi Card Fall Scene.  Picking out the papers can be fun, because you can make it look different based on the colors you pick out.

I cut out some extra leaves to put inside and around.  The Happy Fall is a stamp from Stampin'Up.

Dr Digi Scary Halloween

Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here today with a Dr Digi post. 

Using a Lori Whitlock svg file of Pop Up Box Card Halloween Headstones and just adding some extra details using my Prismacolor pencils, some extra die-cuts, to make my Dr Digi card extra spooky.   The image Scary Pumpkin, backing paper Skull N Bone and the sentiment from Halloween Sentiment sheet; all come from Dr Digi. 

Acetate paper was used for the inner brackets that hold the bats, I thought it looked better than solid paper, almost like they are really flying.  Some glitter scattered throughout the sky to give some sparkle.

Happy Fall Pumpkin

 Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here today with my Simply Crafty post.  

Who doesn't love Fall; the smell, the colors, apple cider, and lots of pumpkins.  

Here is a cute pumpkin double fold card from Simply Crafty.  I use my color pencils and add a little detail to the leaf and stem.  Paper always makes the project too... look for that pretty paper you have in your stash.

Here is the card open and ready for any message.

As you can see the card is held together to keep close, by a wrap.  The sentiment is from a stamp set from Unity Stamps.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #27: Noel Angel

 Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here with my project for Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, the challenge is Christmas projects all year.  

I've had this Holiday Silhouettes stamps from Inkadinkado for years.  They are just beautiful, but wasn't for sure how to use them.  Dark paper, embossing and some gems, this worked.  Even though the Noel is stamped in white ink, the paper is such a dark blue, it looks like light blue, but I like it.  The embossing powder is white with blue glitter, gold and light blue powder.  

Here's the inside

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #42: Distressing Country

 Hello crafty friends  :o)   This is my post for Mix It Up Challenge Blog, this month we are looking for projects with distressing,  This could be inks or with tools.

I used a distressing tool for around the edge of the paper, it's one of my favorite techniques.  Layers really make this technique beautiful.

This image is from Kit and Clowder, it's a bonus coloring class.  Every month, there is a bonus class that teaches a certain technique, that members vote for.  I decided to color the image with my Prismacolor pencils on kraft paper.  

Here is the inside with a stamped sentiment.
