THE CREATIVE CRAFTERS CHALLENGE #1

Hello There My Crafty Friends!

 I am so excited to share the news with you today!

My dear friend Mary at Ameera Crafts and I have started a challenge blog together and today is the first day of the challenge. We would love for you to come and join us!

The Creative Crafters

All our challenges are 'Anything Goes'

I want to share with y'all my first project for the challenge. 

I have been working on this on and off for awhile and finally (after I was happy with it) 

I am finished, yay!

I wanted it to look kinda fairy like, though not sure I accomplished that, lol.

Do ya think a fairy would like to live there? :)

It can hang up too. :)

I sure had a lot of fun making it. :)

...For This Project - Step By Step...

Cut a piece of cardboard off of a box.

Took most of the top layer off to show the corrugated part.

Using dies I cut out the window and fence with white cardstock. 

Then used the distress ink pad on the window and fence.

Attached them to the piece of cardboard using Ad-tech glue.

Stamped the sentiment on white cardstock with distress ink.

Cut out the sentiment and added distress ink around it.

Poked a hole in each top side of it, put twine in it with a knot on each end. 

Attached the twine to the cardboard with glue and a pop-dot behind the paper. 

Cut out grape vine leaves and other greenery with dies.

Glued all the greenery on using Ad-tech glue.

Then glued the flowers and curled flower stems on using Gem-Tac glue.

Glued a string of pearls in and around the greenery on the top using Gem-Tac glue. 

Used a dark brown marker on the cardboard inside the window.

Glued two pieces of lace in the window with Ad-tech glue.

Cut two pieces of green cardstock to go across the bottom.

Folded the green cardstock in half and cut small lines across it to make grass.

Used a wet napkin on the grass and twisted the top of each blade with tweezers.

Glued one strip of grass across the bottom of the cardboard and fence with Ad-tech glue.

Made a fold line on the bottom part of the second strip of grass.

Then glued the grass a little lower, folded the bottom behind the cardboard, glued in place.

Added flatback pearls with Ad-tech glue on the top greenery and on the grass.

Cut a piece of twine long enough for hanging, wrapped a string of pearls around it.

Glued the ends of the string of pearls to the ends of the twine to keep it together.

Then glued an end on each side of the top part on the back of the cardboard.

DIGISTAMPS4JOY CHALLENGE #145

Hello Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge starting today over at

Digistamps4Joy

  The theme for this challenge is...

Anything Goes with a Twist "I love you"

...Here's my inspiration card for the challenge...

I think this image is so beautiful! She looks like she is waiting for her love.

I had already made a tag with the image. But then I saw a beautiful card someone had made with a tag on it that had an image, I just had to try it. The die cut I had made previously with the butterfly and flowers matched the die cut roses on the tag, so thought it perfect for the card. I tried putting patterned paper behind the die cut but it just took away from it and made the images hard to see. But I also didn't want just plain paper, so got out my favorite distress ink pad 'Tea Dye' and went around the front of the card.

As for the tag, I cut it out in a color that worked with her flowers. Then I fussy cut the image out, added coffee stained gauge on the tag, then glued the image on.

 I enjoy working with the rolled die cut flowers. After I roll the flower and glue it together, I use my tweezers to curl the edges of the petals downward.

The flowers where already cut out, so rolled them up and glued the end to the roll.

LOVE TO CRAFT CHALLENGE #19

Hello Crafty Friends,
There's a new challenge starting today at

Love To Craft Challenge Blog

The theme for this challenge is...
Anything Goes

 I have seen different ways of using a napkin on a card and have been wanting to try it. I found a tutorial with a way of doing that is so easy. I had a lot of fun with it, so I created two cards.

I won blog candy from Carolina Cards By Mary H. She sent me this beautiful napkin along with a few other napkins that I will for sure be using. I still have half of this napkin to use next year. :) She also sent me the die that I used for the sentiment 'Warm Thoughts'.

 I wanted to try and make the napkin on my second card look quilted, so I used an embossing folder that I also received from Carolina Cards By Mary H.

I have to admit it, I goofed and debossed it instead of embossed. A 'duh me' moment, lol. That's the second time I have done that and no doubt there will be more. 

I have to say though, that I have never used one of those double sided embossing folders, so will blame it on that, lol. You know, confusion, hehe. :)

I think maybe you can see it better with a side view.

 ...For This Card - Step By Step...

To see how to do this -  Tutorial By: Craftie

 First...it's the same thing for both cards, except for the debossing on the one.

Cut my napkin in half, then half again, to where there are four parts.

Using one part of the napkin I measured a piece of white cardstock and cut it to fit.

Using a glue stick added glue all over the white cardstock.

Then attached the napkin to the cardstock.

Used a paper trimmer to cut off the excess napkin around each side.

 Made the card with white cardstock a little larger than the napkin cardstock.

Added tape to the back of the napkin cardstock then attached to the card.

 Cut the sentiment 'Warm Thoughts' out and glued it onto the card using Ad-tech glue.

I had the 'With Love' sentiment already cut out so glued it onto the other card.
