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) .

Cardz 4 Guyz - Anything Masculine #350  (July 8) .

Those Summer Nights

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

Our theme this month is SUMMER NIGHTS. 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.

On those hot summer nights we often visit a "cool" ice-cream shop just up the road from us, Duke's Fine Ice Cream.  They make the most amazing flavors, one of my faves is Rose Pistachio.  There is always a line up but it's worth the wait!

I came across a fabulous tutorial from Lisa at Lisa's Stamp Studio and I had to try it.  This was my first attempt and since then I have revised it slightly and lengthened the inside flap so the card will stand on its own.

There are a lot of "moving" parts but it came together quite nicely and since the images were strictly done using stamps and inks, it went by fairly quickly.  The stamp set is Share a Milkshake by Stampin Up!

Birthday Balloons

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

Our theme this month is MORE THAN ONE FOLD - show us your creativity and put those folds into play!

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.

To showcase the many folds, I used a double easel fold to create this birthday card.  I followed Gloria's instructions here and they are easy to follow. The papers are from the Magical Birthday Boy collection by Echo Park and the Birthday Balloons die-cuts are by Pretty Pink Posh.  To create the "Happy" I used a die-cut and ran it thru my Big Shot multiple times and glued them together to create a stack and heat embossed "birthday" on black cardstock and used a banner die-cut.

Dennis with a Sling Shot

FUN FOLDS 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 StarStampz!

This image is Dennis and is one of my faves as it so reminds me of my boys when they were young.  I used Copics to color the image and set to work on the Dutch Door Fold I found while scanning through Pinterest, Kim Williams has easy to follow instructions here.

  

I used oval die cuts and patterned paper from Hello Spaceboy collection by Prima Marketing however it's old stock and no longer available. This fun fold is super easy and super quick and will definitely be using this fold again.

Fun Fold with Popsicles

It's time for another fab challenge at Creative Knockouts!  Our theme for this challenge is Fun Folds, ooooh the options are endless!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Twinkle Lane Designs and the lucky winner will receive an £8 voucher code to be used for digis of their choice!

 

To create this card I found a couple of cards created by Connie and thought would give it a try.  The popsicle image is only one of the images from the Mini Ice Cream collection. Connie's post is easy to follow and I had no problems other than trying to decide what paper to use.

I used copic markers to color the popsicles and used my Cricut Joy to cut out the scallop rectangle then went to work assembling the pieces. I'm looking forward to playing with this fun fold a bit more with different color papers and patterns.

I'm so glad you stopped by and make sure you check out the amazingly creative creations from our Design Team then it's your turn to start creating!

Polar Hi

Fun Folds is the theme for our November challenge at Christmas Craft Creations! I love this theme because I get so used to creating rectangle or square cards that things can get stale - fun folds is a great way to get your creative juices flowing.  

During my many hours of Pinterest I came across a fun fold card by Queen B Creations.  Not only did I love the stamp set she used (will be a purchase of mine) I fell in love with her fun and easy fold and she her instructions are easy to follow.

For my rendition of Lisa's card, I used my Polar Bear Pals stamp set by MFT Stamps.  What I love about this fold is you get to use more than one image and using the polar bears, not much coloring is required which makes this a fast and easy creation.

I'm super excited about this card and I hope you have as much fun with the fold as I did.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to jump over to CCC and check out the fabulous creations by our Design Team.
