. . . I'm collecting wrinkles

It's time for a new challenge with us on the

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog

Penny's Challenge 470

as always, the challenge is Anything Goes

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:

   
   Bugaboo Stamps                Di's Digi Stamps

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Gus Birthday - Collect Wrinkles digital stamp and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a fun birthday card.

My card started in Silhouette Studio.  I opened the digital image and sentiment and sized them to fit on a 6" square card based on a sketch (details and link below).  I "sliced" the sentiment in half, so that I could stagger it on the sides of the image panel.   I printed the image and sentiment panels on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers and trimmed to size.  I had some sprinkles patterned paper in mind for this card and do you think I could find it?  Next best thing was to use a digital version, so I printed a  square panel on textured cardstock and trimmed down to 5 3/4".  I cut a 6" x 12" cardstock strip, scored at 6" and created the 6" card base.  I cut two 1" strips from the same cardstock for the sentiments.  The image panel was adhered to the same cardstock then trimmed to a 1/8" mat using a Perfect Layers ruler.  I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers on the card base.



I finished off the card by colouring some clear rhinestones with Copic markers to match the image panel, adding several layers to build up the colour, with darker shades around the edges.

Here are some more pics of my wrinkled cutie . . .

Today I have used the Cindy digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101, one of the generous sponsors, to make a birthday card.  I thought it would be fun to make some magic happen with this sweet Cindy "Cinderella" image by combining it with some shimmering gold foiling, pretty patterned paper, a flourished sentiment, a touch of sparkle and a special message inside.

I designed my card in Silhouette Studio.  I combined the image with a quote (details & links below), adding some extra stars to the image panel so that the two panels would coordinate.  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut to size (3.9") with my Cameo then coloured with Copic markers.  I used my Cameo to cut a circle (4.15") out of cardstock to mat the image panel.   I printed the sentiment panel and manually trimmed to size, matting with the same cardstock, trimming to a 1/8" border with a Perfect Layers Ruler.  I used a fancy font (details & link below) and an image of a dancing princess (details & link below) to create a sentiment panel for inside the card, printed on smooth white cardstock, trimmed to size, matted with cardstock, trimming to a 1/8" border with a Perfect Layers Ruler.  I used an A4 panel of heavy smooth white cardstock to make the top folding card base, trimming it to 7 7/8" wide x 5 7/8" high.  I matted the card front with pretty patterned paper, the golden foil accents perfect for a princess.  I adhered the matted image and sentiment panels in place with liquid adhesive.  I used the same adhesive to secure the paper roses in place, adding some sparkle to the petals with Stardust Stickles.

Lucky last came the sentiment panel for inside the card
. . . Cindy in now a Princess.

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge

Anything Goes with Team Lou

Our generous sponsors for this challenge are:

Auzz Trinklets N Crafts

Jenoviya Art Shop

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Cute flower bud (image 38) digital stamp by Jenoviya Art Shop, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight, to make a fancy birthday card.



As soon as I saw this cute image, I remembered a cut file design in my stash that would work perfectly to conceal the top of the leg.  It's a new-to-me fancy fold that I have not made before.  I opened the image and cut file (details & link below) in Silhouette Studio, sized the image panel to fit on the main panel and created the sentiment (font details below).  I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set, trimmed to size and coloured with Copic markers.  I cut the card base and layers using my Silhouette Cameo and adhered all the layers in place using liquid adhesive.  I adhered the image panel in place then used a hole punch to punch the holes to match the card base and ornate flap.  I adhered the flap down then added some ribbons and burlap string.  The only string in my stash was a pinkish purple, so I used the darkest purple Copic marker from the flowers on the image panel and coloured it for a perfect match.

The bow is a perfect match for the purple flowers in the image panel.

The sentiment was created using a combination of two different fonts.

I matted the back of the card before tying the ribbons.  This gives me plenty of room to write a message for the birthday girl.

I finished off the card by making a belly band embellished with a layered flower.  I punched four extra large and four large flowers from white cardstock and coloured them with Copic markers to match the flowers on the image panel.  The sparkling rhinestone in the middle of the flower started off clear, so I coloured it with the yellow/gold Copic markers used for the chain and accents in the image panel.

It's time for a new challenge with us on the

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog

Penny's Challenge 469

As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsor for this challenge is:

Stampers Delights

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Mime (without flowers) digital stamp from the Paris Cafe Digi Bundle from Stampers Delights, the generous sponsor for this challenge, to make card filled with love, flowers and fancy folds.



It's funny how a design comes to mind when you see an image and I could not stop thinking about the fancy folds of a centre step card, so I started by opening a cut file in Silhouette Studio.  I sized the image to fit on the front panel, added the sentiment (font details below), printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers and trimmed to size.  It sure takes a lot of markers to colour an image that is mainly white, black and red!

* I have never coloured a mime image before, so I did a little homework by looking in Pinterest.  The images I found were in endless combinations of white, black and red but along the way I saw THIS card.  Although I did not use the colour combination or design for inspiration, I thought the sentiment was perfect for these "troubling Covid-19 virus pandemic times", so I created one using a font from my electronic stash. *

I cut the card base and matting layers using my Silhouette Cameo, adhering them all in place using liquid adhesive.  I punched lots of different flowers, curled the petals and layered them together with liquid adhesive and finished each one off with a sparkling black rhinestone.

The card is 5 1/2" square when folded flat but has
lots of lovely dimension when open and standing on display.

These fancy folds look great, even from the side.
