DT CCC "Movable Parts"

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a spectacular day! Time sure is flying; Can you believe we are in June already?!? Course maybe I feel this way cause I turned 60 yesterday; it sure does not seem that long. Yikes! Lol...

We have some Wonderful  sponsors for our "Movable Parts" challenge. And here they are...

Stitchy Bear is offering digi stamps

Crafty Individuals is offering stamps and papers

B-CRAFT-E

Kim Sutton is offering card template packs

For this fortnight's Challenge we were asked to create movable parts on our project, made with Stitchy Bear Stamps. I love all the artists at that store but this sweet image is created by Stitchy herself and I adore it!.

 I chose not to use a sentiment on the card so when I actually use it, it would be could for any occasion like, a new baby,or a new sibling, or love, the possibilites are endless.

The little ones are colored with copics and have been pop dotted on the over lapping paper doilies I got at Joanne Fabrics. And the doilies are mounted on a blue and cream stripe DP by K&Company

and that inturn is mounted on white then blue Bazzill cardstocks, respectively. 

The dual colored 1-1/2 " ribbon I purchased out of the $1 bin at Michael's; it looks like raw and refined silk and it is yummy. I should have bought more...lol. The narrow organza ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and I used it to string the baby bottle charm on to and attached it to a small bow (this is my movable part). All of the pearls are also from Hobby Lobby [they have 50%sales off a lot in the summer...it's called the "Bridal Event"] in the floral/bridal dept. That's were I also get a lot of my flower rhinestones and sheets of singles as well.

Here is my second card. "Scarlette" is also from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps and is by Beary Dust Stamps.

I usually don't do goth but this was fun.

The digi was already black with a hint of purple, my favorite color btw so I chose Black Bazzil  and an unknown Purple Pearlized Swirl cardstock. It looks gorgeous in person, I wish my lighting was better.

Thebase of the card is the Spellbinder Grand Cailbur Label One die and the focal image and other mattings are Label

I made the focal image hinged and it swings open to reveal a hinden message "what's up?". the handle was punched with the Stampin' Up word punch.

The swirl flourishes are from Want2Scrap and the purple rhinestonesare  "Recollections" from Michael's.

Since I had so much fun creating these cards now it's Your Turn...be sure and go to the  Creative Craft Challenge Blog and enter your creations to randomly win some terrific Prizes! 

I am so old and ...I mean jazzed.... that you came by to visit. Be sure and leave some loving, it is ALWAYS appreciated. The best to each and everyone of you.

God's Blessings and Hugs.

SAS4KIDS DT Challenge Cats & Dogs

Good Morning! I can not believe two weeks has past and it's time for another Challenge at Send A Smile 4 Kids Woo hoo!!

I would like to welcome aboard our new DTs.... Hilde, Aly, and Lisa....Yeah!!
I can not wait to see all the beautiful creations they will be making for the Kids.
Of course I want to remind everyone that we do this for the children who are in the hospital. The more entries the more exposure and hopefully the more cards donated to Children's Hospitals. I know everyone wants to bring Smiles of joy to those kids, so tell your friends to join in the fun and come play with us! We have many wonderful sponsors lined up for the year and you don't want to miss the chance to win some great prizes

 I would like to thank all those crafty people who participated in our last challenge; we had terrific entries and we are hoping to see even more 4 this challenge. But first I want to thank our Fabulous Sponsor...

                                           Digi Doodle  who is offering
                                            a $10.00 Gift Certificate. YIPPEE!

Digi Doodle also gave the DTs Digi images to play with and I just loved coloring these cute kitties with copics.

I used blue and cream Bazzill cardstock and the stripe DP is from Making Memories.

The base is 5-1/2"  square, matted 5-1/4"  square, and DP is 5" square.

I trimmed approximately two thirds down with Making Memories cream paper lace.

The images is so sweet and I printed a second copy of it so that both the valance and the kitty were colored and pop-dotted to give dimension

I added Lt. blue dew drops to each corner and also to the lacy trim to create the look of railing running along the "wall"

The sentiment was created in MicroWord and cut into a freehanded banner.

My Second card is all about Victory!

I used a 5-1/2" Bazzill cardstock as the base and matted with white 5-1/4" Bazzill cardstock and then  a 5" Sky DP by Paper Pazzaz. I forgot to measure the next group of matting, but it is the same paper; the DP I embossed with the Cuddlebug branch folder and it shows better in the next picture.

The digi once again is from Digi Doodle Shop and was colored with copics. I used Glossy accents on the flowers and the kitties eyes to add some shine to them. I used my Spellbinders Label No.

     to die cut the image and mounted it at an angle.

I die cut the sentiment, which was created in MicroWord, with my Spellbinder Circle dies.

Before removing it from the die I distressed the edges with Stampin' Up Buckaroo Blue ink. The matting is blue Bazzill cardstock diecut with the next size Spellbinder circle die.

To create a better balance I put pearl white dewdrops at the two left corners and one on the sentiment circle.

This view shows the embossed panel much better

I certainly hope you enjoyed my Kitty cards and that you also visit my teamies blogs to see the deets for their creations too. And Remember JOIN in the fun at Send A Smile 4 Kids Challenge Blog "Cats and Dogs" 4 Kids!

As always God Bless and Hugs to you all!

Creative Craft DT Challenge Blue/Brown/Cream

Happy Day to all of you!! The weather here in NW OH has been sunny with rain and possible tornadoes. My heart goes out to all those in the world who are being so badly effected by all the natural disasters cropping up. 'Course I think it has been these disasters that prompted that religious group to predict the end of the world for this past Saturday. That too is sad cause if they read their Bible it clearly states NO ONE knows when, only God . I just thought it interesting, so just saying.

Well the DT's have been busy getting ready for today's challenge at Creative Crafts Challenge and the theme is "Blue/Brown/Cream" Yum! But first I want to thank our generous sponsors for the lovely prizes they are offering to the lucky winners. Be sure to visit their stores and see all the wonderful images they have for sale! (click on the pic...each is linked)

 is giving this stamp called "Refresh" by Sara Burrier

Top 3 prize(s)

Simply Angelic Crafts

Embellishment packs

The DTs were giving these great designs by Stamping Dragon, this one is called "Rupert Plays Rock n Roll".  I knew immediately that I wanted to put him on a stage. My card stock is Bazzill, the DP I unfortunately scored, pleated, and attached without writing down who made it...oops! I colored him with copics, and added a little Stickles to his chest, he is a Rock Star after all. His guitar is made from pearls you know so I used Glossy Accents to give that effect. I embossed the back wall with a Cuddlebug folder and attached the cornice of the curtain with Paper Studio Fancy Brads. The floor boards were masked and inked so it appears 3D but is not, then I pop dotted him on the stage...ROCK ON!!!

This master fisherdragon is called "Rupert Fishing", isn't he a sweetie, I mean isn't he manly....lol.

I colored him with copics and made him to appear to be at waters edge....he's going for the Big One....you know the one that's going to get away...teehee. Nothing fancy, cause it's for a manly man...lol.

These digis were loads of fun and I hope all the samples the DTs worked so hard on have inspired you.

Be sure to visit their blogs for all the deets, just click the pic of each DT to go to their blog.

So, grab you Blues, Browns, and Cream stash and join us at Creative Crafts Challenge. See you there! And remember....Have Fun!!!

Hugs and God's Blessings to All.

And now for my Sweet Treats.  I used two different digis from Meljen's Designs. I love their stamps, they are whimsical and great for Kids and adults.

I used Bazzill cardstock and Lighten Up paper to mat my cards and colored with copic, I then used Cuddlebug folders for embossing, Hobby Lobby Ribbon and Glossy Accents to create shiny "wrappers", also Stickles was used on the gumdrops to make them look sugary (is that a word lol) and on the rest of the suckers to add some sweetness.  Some elements have been pop dotted for dimension. And the red brads I added were from the dollar store.The sentiments on both cards I created with Word.

Here's my second card
