Krafty Chicks Week 4 - Triple Flowers Card

This is my last week as a guest designer for the Krafty Chicks challenge. It has been a lot of fun! 

The fourth challenge in the month is an all occasion challenge. I chose to create a card with a happy message. 

The flowers and leaves were stencilled and die cut. I based the colours on the patterned paper that I used for the corners. The corner pieces were cut and adhered along with a strip of very light pink shimmer trim and a thin strip of cardstock. The flowers were arranged in the centre and the sentiment was placed at the bottom. I coloured some white enamel dots and added then around the flowers. I brushed the centres of the flowers and the lines in the petals with a clear shimmer brush to finish off my card.

Come and join us at Krafty Chicks and show us your all occasion cards.

You have until 2pm ET next Wednesday to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create! 

Enjoy,

Krafty Chicks Week 3 - Feel Beautiful Today

This is my third week as the "Guest Chick" at Krafty Chicks Challenge. The theme this week is CAS - clean and simple. 

I have a lot of alcohol ink backgrounds to use up - and this was a good opportunity to do just that. This alcohol ink background was created using various shades of teal and turquoise ink and adhered to the card front. The stitched panel was die cut and the sentiment was stamped in the lower right corner. I die cut a circle from the card front and also die cut a white leaf design. The leaves were adhered on the left side, overlapping both the open circle and the left edge. I aded craft foam to the back of the stitched piece and foam tape to the leaves that sit inside the circle. No extra embellishments were added. 

Come and join us at Krafty Chicks and show us your clean and simple (CAS) projects.

Krafty Chicks Week 2 - Poinsettia with Snowflakes

I am honoured to be the "Guest Chick" at the Krafty Chicks Challenge for the month of October. This is the second week of challenges and the theme is Christmas. 

I love the Spellbinders Blooms die sets - and this is the Holiday Blooms. The possibilities with these images really are endless. 

I cut a triangle shape from a piece of turquoise cardstock and again from white. Once those pieces were aligned, I layered them onto a snowflake patterned paper piece and then onto the white card base. The images were die cut from various shades of turquoise cardstock and were arranged along the left side. A sentiment was stamped in two shades of turquoise on the centre triangle piece. I added a few gems and brushed the flower lines with a clear shimmer brush. 

Come and join the challenge at Krafty Chicks and show us your Christmas projects!

Krafty Chicks Week 1 - I Smiled Today Card

I am honoured to be the "Guest Chick" at Krafty Chicks Challenge for the month of October. There are four challenges during the month and this is the first one. 

This week, a stamped image is required. 

This card has a lot of elements - alcohol inked backgound, hot foiled border, stamped and stencilled images, multi-colour stamped sentiment and it is also a shaker card! 

The background was created using turquoise and teal alcohol inks and die cut with a hexagon shape to create the shaker. A hexagon shape was hot foiled and die cut to create the shaker border. I die cut a stitched background for inside the shaker as well. The flowers were stamped, stencilled and die cut and arranged at the bottom. The sentiment was stamped in two colours (it looks like three since the pink and teal mixed to create purple) and that was added to the side of the shaker. The inside of the shaker was filled with tiny silver stars, purple sequins and some "snow". I added a few silver gems around the card and used silver Stickles on the centres of the flowers.
