Dragon

Dragon - Today's challenge at Creative Card Crew is to use punches and Dies. We all have those, so come on out and join us.

We are sponsored by Delicious Doodles. Isn't this image amazing? It is Delicious Doodles, Endless Love. I really enjoyed coloring the dragon. 

At first I was intimidated by it, but it really colored up nicely. Now I want to try coloring him in different colors and in different ways. Maybe two-toned or in black. 

Do you like the stripling I gave him? I really like it.

My DP is World Traveler by Teresa Collins. My border punch is MS and the vine is Cheery Lynn.

Cake

Cake - Here is today's card for Seems a Little Sketchy. We are sponsored by Whoopsie Daisy.

Here is our fabulous sketch made by Tess.

I went with a pre-colored image this time. I added the clouds and ground with distress inks, then some Stickles on her bow and the hem of her dress.

My flower was made with SB dies and distress inks, with a gemstone in the middle. The swirl is another SB.

My sentiment is SU. 

Tornado

I live in Moore Oklahoma and we were hit pretty hard on Monday. My family are all alive, but have horrific stories to tell.

This is the first time that I have been able to get on line and I have only a few minutes to let everyone know anything.

I will be writing a post on my blog, when internet is restored to my home, giving a full account of what happened.

Please pray for us and the community of Moore.

Robot

Robot - Here is a very simple fun card. Everything, image, sentiment, border and papers, came from the same paper Pad by Kaiser Craft. The paper pad is called Technological. I liked it for male projects.

Here is our new sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp.

I edged everything with silver Acrylic paint.

Shape was cut with a SB. Everything else was a punch out in the paper pad.

We are sponsored by the awesome Kenny K Downloads.

My Designer papers are Kaiser Craft Jungle Bug Collection. I like the bright colors in the pad.

My image is Kenny K's Anime Drummer. My brother, Don, recently took up the drums and this image made me think of him. I will be sending this card to him.

I colored him with Copics. I stamped a little star collage from Hot Off the Press around the image, then roughed up all my papers with my Zutter Distrezz machine. It distresses everything really quick.

My stars are a QuicKuts die.

Cupcake Fairy

Cupcake Fairy - Today's challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge is glitter. A product that I use on almost all my cards. 

Case in point - I got my images confused and I actually did this card thinking it was the sponsor's image from 2 weeks ago. That challenge was buttons and bows. You can see that I had lots of buttons. When I went to post this card, I seen that everyone else had used a different sponsors image and I had to check things out and to my horror, I had confused my images. But as you can see, my glitter on this was very useful and I am glad that I did not have to make any changes to it, in order for it to work for this challenge!

Our sponsor is Milk and Cookies. This little fairy is so cute!! I really love her cupcake. I colored Fiona and cupcake with Copics and added Stickles to her wings and the sprinkles on the cupcake. I also put a pearl in the center of the flower in her hair.

My DP is Kaiser Craft, Miss Nelly.

The image and frame were cut with a SB, then I added buttons around the frame.

My sentiment is SU. The 2 punches for the sentiment are also SU. 

I finished off my card with one of my favorite embellishments - a stick pin.

Magnet Board

Magnet Board - I have a really fun Altered Art project for you today. 

This week is teacher appreciation week at my grandson's school and I was tasked with coming up with little gifts for his really awesome teacher.

Alison, my Stampin Up demonstrator,  had made a really cute magnet board and several of us at my Wednesday crop group were really taken it. You can see Alison's magnet board here.

Alison was really great about helping me to figure out workable solutions to some of the challenges in creating this. It was her idea to look at the Dollar Tree for something metal that would be a good foundation. 

This project is my DT project for 2 teams. 

Alphabet Challenge Blog challenge is G for Gemstones and glitter. I used lots of gemstones and my black Spica pen for some glitter on the image.

My other team is Crafts 4 Eternity and we are sponsored by Floppy Latte. The challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity  is a fun Tic Tac Toe board. 

I used center across line of Inking, Use Scraps, and 3 of something. All of these can be found in my flowers. I also used the diagonal line of ribbon, scraps and bling or you could go down with pink (in image,) 3 of something, and bling.

My image is Saturated Canary's Starla. She was colored with Copics and my black Spica pen.

My designer paper is Paper Studio.

My blue flowers were made using this wonderful tutorial from Norma Lee. Her flowers are amazing. I encourage everyone to pop over to her blog and spend some time drooling.

I used Peacock Feathers distress ink. It looks really blue. If you look close at the middle flower, you will see some yellow that separated from the blue on the tips. 

The flowers were made with scraps. I made almost all of my cards 5 1/2 by 5 1/2  and I cut off 3 inches from my foundation card stock that is 11 by 8 1/2, so I have lots of those 3 inch strips. There is also a blue gemstone in the center of each flower.

I used a very pale aqua lace for the outer trim of my plate. I used a row of black rose ribbon on the inner rim. It is on a inward curve and doesn't really show up with the camera, but IRL it is lovely.

I used my SB to make the swirls and added a ribbon rose to each side of the aqua flowers. 

The blue butterfly has been in my stash for quite a long time. My grandson really liked it and he was allowed to put it where ever he wanted on the project.

Tyler also placed the wire butterfly. 

The hanger is a ribbon that the white stitching was colored with a Copic, so that it would match.

The magnets are card stock punched several times and built up to add some strength and glued to a magnet. Tyler then added the gemstone embellishment.

Tyler really wanted this butterfly as one of the magnets. 

I hope that you and Tyler's teacher like it!

The card was finished off with some flowers.
