Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog #32: Bunny Stockings

 Hello crafty friends :o)  This is my post for Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog, where it's Christmas all year long.

Who doesn't love cute little bunnies?  This image Christmas Bunny Stockings from Whimsy Stamps, comes in digital or clear rubber.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is from STAMPlorations (looks like that stamp set is retired).  It can't be a Christmas card without snowflakes.

Here's the inside.

Mix It Up! Challenge Blog #47: TLC Birthday

 Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here with my Mix it Up! Challenge Blog post.  Time to take out your die-cuts and make something fancy, with inlaid die cutting. 

I'm finally using some new die cuts from TLC Designs.  This is the Celebrate Frame Die, it's a 6 piece die set, so I got to use many of the pieces.  For this challenge, all those tiny pieces, made it a challenge itself.  

Here's the inside.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #56: DayDreaming Fairy

 Hello crafty friends :o)  Here's my post for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, where every month is Anything Goes.  We want to see what you have been crafting up.

This beautiful image is from Janna Fairy called Daydreaming.  The image was colored in Prismacolor pencils following the monthly pencil coloring class of Kit and Clowder  from March of 2020 class.  (I'm a little behind on my coloring classes ...sssshhh).  Even if you know how to color, just doing classes can help you keep in practice and maybe pick up some new tips.  Maybe even new color combos to try.

After the coloring is done, it's time to figure out what to create with each image from the class.  I decided to make a canvas with this fairy.

Several layers of stencils, paints, distress inks, embossing powder, micro beads, tissue paper, chipboard, flowers, twine, crystals ... voila !   Maybe an old button or two I had laying around.

These sentiment tags are actually from my tea bags.  Yes, I saved my tea bag quotes, because I thought they were beautiful statements.  

The leather label ...seem fitting with the image.

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #143: Flower Box

 Hello crafty friends :o)  Here today with my post for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, this month Anything Goes.  Make sure you also visit the sister blogs for extra inspiration.  

Here is a cute box from Simply Crafty SVGs, called Tulip Candy Box.  It's a free file, if you are a little tight on cash after buying an expensive gift to go inside :oP    I did take color pencils to the cutouts to add extra color and some sponging on the edges.  

The "for you" is a stamp from SU.  A little more color from the design paper used on the sides.

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.

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.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

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.
