Craft Your Passion #95 - Beary Sweet

We're Beary Sweet this week at Craft Your Passion with Crafty Sentiments as our sponsor.  It's my last week as a guest designer.  Thank you to Jenn and Lisa for a great time!

I made two projects this week.  My first uses Mushroom Bear, but he's hidden inside.  I made a gatefold card with my Ultimate tool and used Happy Birthday paper over the center.

I thought it would be cute with the image hidden inside.  I used the same birthday paper to keep the theme inside as well.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:

1. Sweet Stampin' - animals

For my second project, I tried something totally new.  I started with a candle card using my Ultimate tool and Boxer Board.  I kept the design really simple and added a thank you sentiment.

Then I made an Envelobox to hold my gift.  I decided this wouldn't be an Envelobox to mail, but would act more like gift wrap.  I decorated the front with Henry and Poppy from Crafty Sentiments.

I'd like to enter this project in the following challenge:

Fairy Fun Fridays #71 - anything but a card

Craft Your Passion #94 - Color Bingo

This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is Color Bingo. We're sponsored this week by Limited Runs Digis.  I'm so happy to have another week as guest designer!

For my card, I chose the bottom row of the color bingo and I used Sunny Mug. I printed the image on Make It Color paper and colored it with Copics. I added fiber frames around the image and flowers in opposite corners.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Secret Crafter #169 - food and drink

Craft Your Passion #93 - In the Bag/Box

This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is In the Bag/Box. Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps. When you're guest designing and you'd like to make a good impression, it's good idea to read the directions! Turns out, the challenge was to MAKE a bag or box. I decorated a bag for my project, and then looked more closely at what I was supposed to do. So I made a box using my Ultimate tool - super easy, by the way! I thought I'd go ahead and share both of them with you.

I'm going to share the project that I should have made for the challenge first. I made the box using my Ultimate tool. This was my first box with the tool and it was super easy. I made it out of two pieces of 12x12 cardstock - minimal cutting and NO measuring! I printed the Scene It Ava Deacon Birthday image on Make It Colour paper and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. Here's the top:

Here's the front:

I'd like to enter the box in the following challenges:

1. C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #137 - celebrations

2. Sweet stampin challenge - all that glitters
3. The Crafty Pad #153 - glitter and gems

Now for the project I did first, which would not qualify for the challenge.  I've been really enjoying decorating plain white gift bags (dollar store 2 for $1) and turning them into something special. I used the same image as for the box. I printed the image on Make It Colour paper and colored it with Copics. Then, I let loose with the Stickles. I think a birthday bag needs lots of sparkle. I added a sentiment and some embellies to finish it.

I'd like to enter this bag in the following challenges:

1. Whimsy Inspirations #21 - happy birthday
2. Charisma #1 - Happy birthday
3. Card Crafter's Circle #5 - happy birthday
4. Sentimental Sundays #85 - ribbon
5. ABC Challenge - H is for Happy Birthday

Craft Your Passion #92 - Mythical Creatures

Mythical creatures will be spotted this week at Craft Your Passion. The sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies. I am in love with ADFD images. They're so whimsical and beautiful. I was so excited, I asked to play with two for this week.

The first is Sweet Dragon. I like making gate fold cards with the Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool. I thought this image would be a fun one for that kind of card. I added lots of sparkles to the image and frame.

Here's the inside:
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
1. Sweet Stampin' - spots and dots
2. 2 Sisters #73 - things with wings
3. ABC Challenge - G is for green

For my second card, I used Tucking in My Bugs. I just couldn't resist. There's something about this little girl that reminds me of Peanut. I tried something different with her hair and used lots of yellow Copic dots, which didn't turn out quite like what I'd expected. I'm wondering how to color curly/wavy hair when the lines aren't there to guide you. Ah, well, something to work on.
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
1. Magical Monday - anything goes
2. Crafts and Me - anything goes
3. Dream Valley Challenges #23 - anything goes

Craft Your Passion #91 - Anything Goes + Distressing

Please scroll down for my first Crafter's Companion DT post.

I've been asked to GDT at Craft Your Passion this month! I'm so excited and honored. I'm a little late with my post as I was supposed to do it last night and it totally slipped my mind - so much for my new to-do list :-)

This week's challenge - anything goes + distressing - is sponsored by Delicious Doodles and The Paper Shelter and Stitchy Bear Stamps. I got to play with Rosalee from Delicious Doodles. Now, you may have noticed that distressing is outside my comfort zone, but I gave it my best effort. I distressed the edges of my papers and added Distress Ink to the sentiment and the edges of my image. I was really pleased with the way it turned out.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Sketch Saturday #188 - sketch

2. Crafts 4 Eternity #52 - include a quote

3. Winter Wonderland - Red and White

Happy Crafting!

Essie the Kitty

This card features Essie the Kitty. She's a new digistamp (available for free in August) that I made as a friend for Posy. The stickers are from Creative Memories. The green paper is from DCVW's Glitter Stack.

I colored Essie with Promarkers. Still not totally sure about them. I put glitter on her bow because a little sparkle never hurts.

I'm entering this card in two challenges:

1. Craft Your Passion #11 - sketch challenge

2. Pile it On #24 - stickers

Happy Scrapping!
