Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #261- Anything goes with 3+ layers

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner. This month the challenge is Anything Goes with 3+ layers.  I received this adorable digital stamp titled "Ginger Hot Tub Image #230, from SheepSki Designs to create with,

I immediately got my Copics out and started coloring this adorable image. 

I used the Authentique "Rejoice" paper pack, so I coordinated my colors with the paper pack.

Copics I used:

Coca: E29, E25, E23

Gingerbreads: E09, E13

Santa Hat: R56, R46

Eyes: E57, E23

Buttons and Cup: G28, G24

Here is a close up of the colored image.

I layered the sentiment boxes that came with the paper pack on the left side.  I then distressed all the way around the card.  

I added my image after die cutting it into a circle shape.  I stamped the sentiment from Taylored Expressions.

To finished the card I added some ribbon and twine and then tied on these cute charms I had in my stash from Stampin Up.

 

I know exactly who is getting this card this year.  Now it is your turn.  Create a project with 3+ layers and share it with us at Crafty Gals Corner. 

I would also appreciate if you would leave me a comment.  Thank you.

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog- Anything Goes

 


Hello Crafty Friends

We are one month closer to Christmas and one more card done.  I love Christmas, so Christmas cards are so much fun to create, I created a simple card this month.


 The card panel is a foil-it from Taylored Expressions with a matching stencil.  I created the image with Gold foil and then stenciled with Spearmint, Cherry Pop and Cilantro.

To finish the card I added some small gold pearls to the little dots in the image.

Clean and simple, yet striking.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog- Challenge- Paper Piecing


Hello Crafty Friends,

Have you ever paper pieced an image before?  I loved creating those paper dolls from the Cricut cartrudge many years back, which I still have, to create cute little people.  Not quite the same thing, but so much fun. If you do, that is the challenge at Mix It Up Challenge Blog this month; Paper Piecing,

 I used the birthday stamp from Simon Says stamps to paper piece the balloons for a cute birthday card.

Here is the card I created:

 

I stamped the image 3 times, 2 times on the card front and one time on a scrap piece of the same blue cardstock.  I then stamped the image several times on different colors of cardstock.  I then cut out each balloon and party popper with the color I wanted.  I glued all the pieces to the individual stamped image.  I then popped this image up on the card front.

To finish the card, I layered the card front on another piece of blue cardstock.  I also stamped the sentiment from Taylored Expressions in black ink at the top. 

I hope you try paper piecing if you have never tried it.  Please leave me a comment and then join the challenge at Mix It Up Challenge Blog.

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #259- Anything Goes with a Twist- Add ribbon

 


 Hello Crafty Friends,

What a whirlwind start to September here in Southern California.  We are having a heat wave, there are fires all over the area and school is in full swing.  The season seems to be starting out on a quick pace, but I hope it slows down because this season is my favorite.

Time is going by so fast that my friends and I have not celebrated our August friends birthdays yet and it is already the middle of September.  

The card I created for this new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner, will be used as a birthday card for one of my friends.

 

 

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:
I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

I used this adorable "Happy Birthday Character Creator Set" from RAM stamps.

 

I first colored the images with my Copics. (First set of numbers is for the girl in pink and the second set of numbers are for the girl in yellow)

Hair: E29, E08, E13 and E29, E25, E35

Skin: E43, E53, E50 and E13, E11, E21 

Dress: R85, R83, RV11, RV10 and Y38, Y19, Y15, BG34, BG11

Hats: R27, R35

The card base is created using the Paper pack from Echo Park called It's Your Birthday.  The sentiment is foiled and is from Taylored Expressions.

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog- Anything Goes

 


Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a card I created using some products from Pink Fresh Studios.

The envelope is a die, which I cut out and then stenciled the outline detail with red ink.

I then stamped the gifts and greenery stamps with black ink and stenciled them with the stencil set.  I then die cut them out and created this arrangement with the images.

I stamped and die cut the sentiment and popped it up on the envelope.

I finished the card by adding the envelope to a piece of pine needle paper from my stash.

I also created a "green" one too.
