Flamingo LOVE

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

As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.
Three to five random winners are drawn and
each get to choose 3 set of papers from the Paper Pick Tab

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Hearts Again digital paper by Lozzy at A Bit More Time To Craft to make a special 50th Anniversary card.


As seems to be the norm lately, I started by opening the Hearts Again digital paper and Valentine Flamingo Pop Up Box card cut file in Silhouette Studio.  I enlarged the card elements to make a 5 7/8" square card.  I sized the digital paper for the matting panels, printed on white textured cardstock then manually cut.  I cut the card base and design elements from textured cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used the "50" and sentiment using a digital font (details below).  I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers together to complete this fancy fold card then decided it needed a little "more", so dragged out a bundle of my favourite flower punches and started punching, curling and layering.  I added a sparkling black rhinestone to the centre of each flower then adhered them in place and my special anniversary card was done.





Here is the card extended out fully open and flat,
a grand 11 3/4" wide and 5 3/4" tall.


Here is the fancy fold in action.


I used assorted fonts to make a sentiment panel for the back of the card.


The card folds flat for mailing but my dimensional flowers added dimension,
so it was lucky that this card is to be hand delivered.


Digital papers like Hearts Again look amazing on textured cardstock.


I have another one from Hearts Again printed and ready
for some creative fun, the teal and pink look gorgeous.

People are my favourite because I MISS HUGS and I find them easier to colour, animals are also my favourite because they are cute, fun and, when I don't have to colour them, they make for cheery cards too.

more Anything Goes at the Crafty Gals Corner

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This week we are letting our creative juices flow with
Crafty Gals Corner Challenges are bi-weekly.
Each crafter may only submit 3 projects per challenge.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:

Twinkle Lane Designs
Prize: Two Digital Stamps & Two Digital Paper Packs 

Digi Doodle Studios

Prize: 1 Digital Image

Mari's Digi's

Prize: 1 image used by the DT

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Couple Clipart image and the Happy Anniversary sentiment (one of several included in the set) from the Couple Clipart digital stamp set and several of the patterned papers from the Love Hearts digital paper set from Twinkle Lane Designs, one of our generous sponsors this week, to make a pair of anniversary cards.

~~~*~~~*~~~

 My first card is a tall A5 CAS side fold.
The soft pink hearts inside the stitched diamonds are so pretty.

For this card I used the Love Heart Paper 5 digital papers from the Twinkle Lane Designs Love Hearts digital paper set.  Using my Silhouette Cameo design mat, I added the patterned paper panel to an A5 sheet.  I made a panel for the top of the card using the same pink, cropped the image panel into a circle shape and layered it over the digital paper panels to make a card front.

I printed the card front on A5 X-Press It blending card, heat set, then coloured with Copic markers.  I scored an A4 sheet of heavy white cardstock to make the card base then adhered the front panel to complete the card.  ... oops, nearly finished, the final touch was a pink rhinestone for her necklace.


~~~*~~~*~~~

Next comes my twist pop-up card, such a fun interactive fold.

I used a cut file purchased from the Silhouette Design Store (details below) to make the mechanism and base.  I added an offset to the smallest heart and created some extra layers to decorate the front panel of the card.  I also added an extra card base to give it more strength to handle the weighty embellishments inside.  I used the "Love Heart Paper 6" (for the four smallest hearts inside the card) and the "Love Heart Paper 3" (for the two patterned panels matting the base inside the card), two of the six digital papers from the Twinkle Lane Designs Love Hearts digital paper set.

To make the layered letters for the LOVE sentiment inside, I used the Lori Whitlock LW Sweetie Pie font, cut them in red, added an offset, cut them in white, then adhered them together.

I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers, then trimmed down to size, matting before adhering to the card front.

The card stands 6" tall.

Here is the closed, front view of the twist pop-up card.

such a fun surprise and the mechanism works so smoothly for opening and closing

A Valentine Anniversary

We have some friends celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day this year and what better way to celebrate their special day than with a lovebird shadowbox card!



The cool thing about shadowbox cards is that they fold flat for mailing and open up into an exciting dimensional scene - WOW!





I used my Silhouette Cameo and the 
cut file by Daniela Angelova from the Silhouette Design Store

Here is the back of the card

I used my clear Wink Of Stella to add sparkle to the red panel, to all of the hearts in the patterned paper and the sentiments on the back of the card... the sparkle really is quite lovely but quite challenging to photograph, all I can say is I AM ADDICTED to Wink Of Stella SPARKLE!!!
It was such a PLEASURE to colour the sentiments and cut panel using the LUSCIOUS brush tip.
PS - I have to confess that this would have looked much better
if I had used smooth cardstock, so I will remember for next time.

Ingredients:
SPARKLE - ZIG - Clear Wink of Stella

I have entered my card in the following challenges:

Here is the magazine cover for this week's inspiration
Papercrafting Challenge: Magazine Mondays - Week 132 Inspiration Piece (image)  
Apart from being inspired by the magazine photo, in honour of Valentine's Day, this challenge also requires the papercraft project to include the colour red and / or a heart.
I was inspired by the mainly white with a pop of red and the snake-like scrolls of the swirling armbands.  Her folded arms on top of her head & the red stripes the magazine name are mimicked by the red arches the love birds are sitting on.  The red hearts are actually the negative space of the white front panel, there is a heart in his wing and I also added some tiny white hearts.
Love this inspiration, hoping to get some doodling action happening this weekend too.

~~~*~~~*~~~

Grab Our Badge!
This week the challenge is "Love is in the air!" - just add a heart to your project, it doesn't have to be a Valentine's.
My entry is a Wedding Anniversary card for some friends who were married on Valentine's Day thirteen years ago and it has several hearts, both cut out hearts and heart shaped negatives.

The Daily Marker
Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge
#thedailymarker30day
It's probably stretching things by calling my Wink Of Stella SPARKLE "colouring", but it is the first colouring I have done for the month and I look forward to using it to add finishing touches to stamped & coloured images over the coming days, now that I have some Versafine Onyx Black Pigment Ink Pad ready & waiting for a watercolour workout.  I was excited to see Wink Of Stella used for ink blending recently and I'm looking forward to giving it a try too.
