Feeling a little beachy

SUMMER FUN is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

We have a fabulous sponsor so make sure to upload your creation for your chance to win a special prize from The Paper Shelter!

How perfect is this image for some summer fun and aptly named Very Summery.  I colored the image with Copic markers then dug out some bright papers from my stash.  I used lime green and pink bakers twine to create a banner of sorts and the sentiment is from the Beach Filler stamp set by KLM Designs (the set is now on sale for $3).

Cheers on your Engagement

I was asked to create an engagement card for a couple, one from Canada and the other from Brazil.

I thought long and hard about this and sketched out designs trying to combine their Country flags and couldn't come up with anything that I liked so I decided on using the colors of their flags.

I created this shaker card using Champagne Glass Die Set by Maker's Mark. As Brazil's flag is mostly green w/yellow I used green and gold sequins and for Canada, red and gold sequins.  The "cheers" sentiment was created using the Scripty Cheers die cut by Lawn  Fawn.

It was difficult taking pictures of this card with the glare from the gold background paper so it's a bit hard to see the white stamped sentiment on vellum across the stems of the glasses.  It reads "couldn't be happier for you" and it's from the Charming Floral Border stamp set by Pink Fresh Studio.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Challenges:

Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love - Engagement, Weddings Anniversary #7 (July 31)

Happy Canada Day!

A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges!

Our theme this month is Red, White and/or Blue.  Show us your creativity using those two and/or three colors in your creation!

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will play along for your chance to proudly display our Winner or Top 3 Badges.

I opted to use Red and White since I'm Canadian! How fitting that a Canada Day card features a beaver, our national animal :)  

I used Copic markers to color the images from Just Me Digital Stamps (unfortunately they are no longer in business).  I wanted to keep the cards CAS so I added just a few sequins on both cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you hop over to Get Creative Challenges for some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team!

Challenges:

Halloween and Other Occasions: Challenge #16 (July 31)

Super Fun(tache)tic Dad

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a new challenge ready to go for you!

CBC will feature a new Bingo card for each challenge and while this isn't your typical game of BINGO, you are required to use at least three items in ONE column.

We are a "just for fun" challenge where you will have the chance to proudly display our Winner or Top Pick Badge!

My choice is the "N" column - Masculine, Enamel Dots, Teal and Fancy Fold.

 Assembling the gate fold card I used papers by Max & Whiskers, Elvis Collection and the sentiments are from Dude! by Kelly Purkey and Fun(tashe)tic by The Craft's Meow (both no longer available)

I cut a number of mustache layers using Matey Mustaches die cuts by Echo Park and glued the layers together to make a stack. I glued the mustaches to the lighter panel, added some teal enamel dots and applied the sentiment using foam squares.

So glad you stopped by and I look forward to seeing your creation!

Challenges:

Crafty Gals Corner - ATG w/Fancy Fold #256 (July 8)
