Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - sparkle (card 2)

This is my second card for the Cupcake Inspirations 300th Challenge - Sparkle - see my previous post for all the challenge details.  You may not know this about me, but I have a thing for cats.  So this cute image from Bugaboo spoke to me :-)  I focused on the clothing coloring on this image and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.  My skin color Copics all need new ink or replacement nibs so I'm waiting on a shipment! I used embossing powder and double sided tape to create my own glitter paper.  I really like the way it turned out.

Here's my card with a cute digi from Bugaboo stamps.  I thought he was so cute he'd be able to make the card all by himself, so I didn't use any papers.  I love the little banner sentiments.

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
