Hybrid Chick Card Caravan - Clean and Simple

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's time for a new challenge at The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan.  This week the challenge is clean and simple.  I used Star Spangled - the new release from Bella Gypsy - to create my card.  I digitally paper pieced Lollipop (did you see Pollycraft stamps are now available at Little Miss Muffet!!!).  I'm thinking about a tutorial on digital paper piecing - leave a comment if you'd be interested in such a tutorial.  I hope my card is clean and simple enough.  I couldn't resist adding some glitter!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
1. Creative Craft Challenges 2 - patriotic colors
2. Simon Says - I chose patriotic
3. Do You Stack Up #75 - paper piecing
4. Crafty Catz #136 - summertime
5. Raise the Bar #107 - Hello Summer!

Spring Garden Collab available at The Digichick

I made this fun garden journal as a gift for my mother-in-law.  I love the little seed packets.

It was super easy to make using the Spring Garden Collab from Michelle Batton Designs and Paper Garden Projects available at The Digichick.

Card Caravan Challenge - Using the Negative Space

This is my third post for today - please scroll down for my Crafter's Companion monthly challenge and the Cupcake Inspirations challenge.  

The challenge this fortnight at the Card Caravan is using the negative space.  I thought looking through a camera would be fun for this challenge and Magic Photos by Etc. by Danyale had the perfect camera.  I printed two papers with the elements placed on them and cut out the center of the camera.  I aligned the yellow paper on top and secured it with pop dots.  I also cut out a second crown and pop dotted it over the printed crown on the bottom paper.  I added silver glitter to the crown and buttons to the camera to finish it off.

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

1. Crafty Purple Frog #37 - anything goes

2. DYSU #65 - sew it

Card Template Challenge at The Digichick

Have you seen the card template challenge at The Digichick?  You can download a great template and use it to make your hybrid card with digital scrapbooking products.  I used  Hop, Skip Jump by Jenn Barrette for my card.  I layered the papers digitally and printed out the front, word banner, and center element.  I added yellow flowers and buttons. 

Happy Scrapping!

Card Caravan Challenge #14 - Lucky Green

It's time for a new Card Caravan Challenge.  Our theme this week is Lucky Green.  I used a great kit by Sherwood Studio - At the Pub.  It's perfect for St. Patty's day cards and has an old fashioned, Irish pub feel.  I printed the papers, postcard, shamrock, and Celtic knots.  The image is Foxi Sprite from Make It Crafty and she's colored with Copics.  I added black ribbon and glitter on the shamrock.  The Celtic knots are popped up with pop dots.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:1. Card Makin Mamas #40 - green + colored image2. Crafts 4 Eternity #61 - digital delights3. Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #175 - green for go4. Sparkles Forum Challenge #29 - things with wings

Color Card Caravan Challenge at The Hybrid Chick

Please scroll down for my Cupcake Inspirations card.

I'm so excited to have my first card for The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan!  This week we have a color challenge.

I love the color palette and Affirmation from elise's Pieces was a perfect kit to use.  I printed papers and elements.  I paper pieced Canary Love by Saturated Canary using the papers from the scrapbook kit.  I cut out the printed elements to embellish my card.  I love the way the banner looks folded, but it's really a flat piece of paper.  One of the great things about the digi kits is that you can add complicated stitching to your project very easily.  I added stitching to the journal card and printed it out.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:1. Fussy and Fancy Friday #56 - with all my heart2. Craft Your Days Away #39 - paper piecing3. 2 Sisters #79 - stitching4. By the Cute and Girly - love is in the air5. Joanna Sheen Challenge - love is in the air
