KBD Thanksgiving/Turkey Challenge

Hey Crafty Friends, it's my turn to host the challenge at Kadoodle Bug Designs Challenges page on FB for the next week!  The theme I chose is anything Thanksgiving/Turkey related.  I love funny cards and I had seen something like this somewhere on the internet with a chicken and thought this would be perfect!  Hope it doesn't offend anyone! :)  I used Thanksgiving Dinner, Gobblers & Merry Christmas Bear  (for the window) patterns.  For the sky background I used a cloud stencil and Tim Holtz's distress inks.  The speech bubble is from Craftin' Desert Diva's Mix It Up dies.

I hope y'all are able to come join the challenge over at our KBD Challenges page on FB for your chance to win your choice of a KBD pattern!

Don't be a Grinch!

Hello Crafty Friends!  Today I am over at Craftin Desert Diva's blog sharing with you a card I actually dreamed up!  I used the newly released Rudy & Tis the Season stamp sets.  For the present I used Owl-idays stamp set, the white stitched layer the image is stamped on is from Pocket Pieces HI Dies, the striped layer and banner are from Mix It Up dies.  I colored Rudy with my Spectrum Noir markers, I paper pieced the present with pattern paper.  I added Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to Rudy's hat and bow on the present.  I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder, scored the banner so that it folded to make it 3 dimensional, and mounted it with fun foam to pop it up.  Without further ado here he is.....

Craftin Desert Diva's Linky Party-Sweet & Yummy

Happy Monday my Crafty Friends!  It's time for a new Linky Party over at Craftin Desert Diva's blog and the theme is Sweet & Yummy!

I created a card using the Got Coffee stamp set, which is a super cute set for all the coffee lovers in your life, the newly released Chilly stamp set for the heart, the white stitched rectangle cs the image is stamped on is from Pocket Pieces HI Dies and I used the straight stitched die along the black and white striped cs and blue polka dotted cs from the newly released In Line Dies.  I colored the donuts with my copics using the no-line coloring technique.  For the sprinkles on the donuts I used some pens I have had forever in my stash but never used- Sakura's Souffle gel pens.  When the ink dries it is raised and shiny, very cool affect!

The black striped pattern paper is Heidi Swapp's Sugar Chic 6x6 pad & the polka dotted paper is Simple Stories' Vintage Bliss 6x6 pad.  Pink CS is Stampin' Up! and the ribbon is from my stash.

Merry Elfin Christmas!

Hey Crafty Friends!  I am over that Kadoodle Bug Designs blog today!  This is probably the quickest card I've ever done and I love how it turned out!  I did get my inspiration off Pinterest.  That is a great place for all kind of ideas and I love it.  Anyways, for the card I used the pattern Christmas Feet.  I embossed the white layered paper with the Cricut swirls folder. The scalloped layer, white stitched layer and banner are from Craftin Desert Diva's Fancy Frames dies and Mix It Up dies. The saying is from Jaded Blossom's Bah Humbug stamp set.  I hope y'all enjoy!!

Fe-line Spooky?

Hello and Happy Friday!! I am over at Craftin Desert Diva's blog today.  I finished my card from last week's tip on masking. (go here to see the post) To finish off the card I cut a 3" circle for the moon, covered the cat with it, masked the pumpkins so that I could make the background.  I used my Tim Holtz distress inks to sponge the background.   I colored the moon with a soft yellow then went over it with Perfect Pearls, I also splattered the background with this too.  I cut the speech bubble from the new Mix It Up dies.  I cut some bats from the stamp set and popped dotted them.  I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the images.
