I created this card using In the Nest Chick, how cute is she!  I used Copic markers to color the image then used circle die cuts to cute and frame the image.

I pulled out my stash of Easter papers and my Lots of Dots embossing folder by Taylored Expressions and went to work assembling the card.  The sentiment is from the Window Scene: Spring stamps set by MFT (no longer available).

This little frog brought a smile to my face, it's My Pad by SheepSki Designs.

I used Copic markers to color the image except for the inside of the flower where I used a yellow gel pen.  After fussy cutting the image I dug through my paper stash and found the floral pattern (Wonders), green background (MFT Wildflowers) and B&W polka dots (Simple Stores) that matched quite nicely.

Have a very mice BIRTHDAY

Lots of Layers 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 a NEW sponsor, Streamside Studios!  If you haven't checked the store out yet, make sure you do - so many adorable and fun images to choose from!

The images and sentiment are from the Mice at Play collection. I used the Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the images although  I was having issues with the blade not cutting thru the paper on the mice so I had to do a bit of fussy cutting (which I really don't like doing).  I used distress inks (Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade) on the block of cheese and Copic markers on the mice.  Added a few touches and lots of foam tape to create the layers.

Cozy Christmas Fireplace

LOTS OF LAYERS is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

Our challenge will run until DATE so make sure to upload your creation by then for your chance to win a special prize from our fabulous sponsor Mirtellamente Digital Stamps!

I loved working with the Christmas Fireplace image, so much so that I created two cards. For my layers I decided to do a lot of fussy cutting (I really don't enjoy this part!) and made layers of the stockings, gifts and candles.  After coloring with Copics and all the fussy cutting, I picked out some "wall" paper, along with "flooring" for the backdrop then went to work with foam dots.  

I really love how these cards turned out even though this wasn't my first vision!

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

 It's time for another fab challenge at Creative Knockouts and our theme for this challenge is Lots of Layers!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Pretty Cute Stamps and the lucky winner will receive a $15 gift certificate towards digital products!

I've used a Pretty Cute Stamps image, Pumpkin Spice.  Tis the season for pumpkin spice I figure!  The digi set comes with a number of images to mix and match - it's definitely fun to play with.

I used Copic markers to color the image and will admit, the colors in the picture seem a bit mis-matched but I promise you, the colors match closer to the coffee cup than what you see here! After putting the card together I played around with adding some embellies but all that seemed to work was one button.

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!

Lots of Layers

Welcome back for our next challenge at Creative Knockouts.  For this challenge, we want you to layer it up, that's right - show us lots of layers.  This is always a fun challenge and a great way to showcase those background papers.

Our sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Shelter and they graciously provided me with this image,  A Piggie's Happy Place, how cute is this little pig!

I colored piggy with Copic markers then added Wink of Stella to the black spots, glossy accents on the flowers and stickles on the butterflies.  The "Thanks" die-cut is a no-name brand that I picked up probably over a year ago and have never used it until now.  I like how it looks and hope to use it more often.

For the banners I decided not to stick them down flat with tape, I just used tape on the top portion and slightly curled the ends up for a little more added dimension. The background papers are from the Summer Fresh collection by Simple Stories and the Kraft paper flowers are from Michaels.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your creations!
