Halloween fun with Daisy doodle

Good evening everyone!  I made a bunch of DT cards today!  Trying to keep ahead... Don't like to be last minute because life happens... and sometimes I don't get as much craft time as I would like.

So my special treat for doing all this was to create something with the wonderful digis that I won at Daisy Doodle this past week.  I got some specifically to play again :D

So for this card I used Li'l Drac.  There's 2 digis that come with this set.  The coffin and the little Dracula.

I used paper from DCWV - Midnight spell and from Authentique - Glowing.  I used my grand circle and classic square from spellbinder.  

I colored the digis with my copics and used black soot distress ink around the circle.

I also distress the edge of the sentiment that comes from... you guessed it Create with TLC  I added a button that I found at my local fabric store and a little charm that I thought was just perfect for this from my stash:

To make this card I followed this sketch:

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

1. Daisy doodles creative challenges - One for the boys
2. Sketch saturday - Sketch
3. Delightful sketches - Color combination (purple, orange and green)
4. Sentimental Sundays - Recipe 3-2-1 (3 design paper, 2 digis, 1 charm)
5. Sweet n sassy digis - Hip to be square

So this is it for me for tonight!  It's off to bed I go!  With the antibiotics I now feel better!  So big week of work ahead for me :D  But then long weekend in perspective next week since we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada!!!!

Hugs and goodnight!

For this card I used My mind's eye paper - Lime twist.  I used my EK border punch for the little holes that reminded me of water.  The digi was cut using Label 19.  The ribbon is from the dollar store and the charm from my stash.

Gingerloft Challenge - In Stitches - Faux or real

This week at Gingerloft challenge it's all about Stiching.  Real or faux.

Well... I haven't used my sewing machine for real sewing with fabric in forever!  What I've been using it with is for cards.  And this is one that was definitively worth it.

For this card I used the wonderful digi from Gingerloft called Panda Lunch.  I did nothing to the image beside a bit of distress ink because it's so fabulous.

For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - from the Olive collection.  I use also for the flourish MS paper punch pad where there was the wonderful kraft paper.  The die is from Memory box, it's called whimsical flourish.  I used my Tim Holtz distresser on all the paper to distress the card.

Here's a closer look at the digi to which I added vintage photo distress ink:

The sentiment is from Create with TLC and I thought it was perfect for this card.

Bed of Rose

So this is my other card that I wanted to show to you guys.  I used a wonderful digi set from Create with TLC  you can find it here.  There's lots of wonderful digis with this set:



So here's my card with one of the wonderful digis.  I just had to choose one that wasn't done already by my fellow DT :D

To make this card I used paper from My mind's Eye - Honey cake.  The lace ribbon is from my stash and so is the button and little ribbon in the button.

Here's a closer look at the digi.  I colored it using my copics.  I also used festive berries distress ink around the digi.

I used the following sketch to do this card.

Since my card had already text with the image I used a button instead of that little text box...

And this is also a great inspiration with a song :D  Bed of roses, I added the link to the video for those of you that would like to hear it one more time.

Got to love Bon Jovi :D

Dutch Dare Challenge - Challenge #184

This week at Dutch dare card challenges our wonderful sponsor for the week is
 

For this challenge you have to make a CAS card!

For this challenge I got to work with the fabulous image Caroling Snowmen from The Stamping Boutique!  What  wonderful Christmas image.

I used the paper from Basic Grey - Nordic Holiday.  I also used some shiny paper from The immortal Love.  I used scalloped and standard circle dies from Spellbinder.

I didn't know how dangerous card making was until I made this card.... I wanted to use my MS snowflake punch to cut out some snowflakes out of some felt... well... I broke the punch and ended up punching my finger!  Big time hole in my middle finger!  Blood everywhere and no more punch...   Luckily for me I had a spellbinder snowflake border.  I used the snowflakes from that to finish off the card when I had finally gotten the blood mess under control... yikes... dangerous activity crafting lol :D

I added some Robin's  Nest Dew drops on top of the snowflakes.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics.  I added some stickles to the snow and snowmen as well as the lamp and the star.  It doesn't show all the sparkles in the picture but it's really sparkly!

And here's a look at the sentiment from Create with TLC.

I really hope you will be inspired to join us this week for our CAS challenge at Dutch dare card challenges.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

1. Love to create challenge - Anything goes
2. Great impressions stamps - Sentiment
3. Just keep on creating - Christmas

For my card, I decided to make a get well card.  I just love using the little monsters from Paper Make up stamps, they are so adorable.  So here's my card using BooBoo:

To make this card I used some paper from Basic Grey - Olive paper pack.  I used lots of fun dies : Label 1, Scalloped Label 1, gromet tag all from Spellbinder.  The flourish was made using Dee's Distinctively - Flourish #3 the paper was from Martha Steward punch pad.  The ribbon was purchased at Omer De Serres.  

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics.  The edge was done with Peeled paint distress ink.  I used glossy accent to make the tears.

And here's a look at the sentiment that I used a wonderful sentiment from Create with TLC.  It reminded me of when my kids were small and a kiss and hug could make it all better... yeah... they no longer believe that... The tag is held with some brads and I added a little charm that I thought was perfect for a get well card.  You still have time to enter my giveaway!  It ends on Thursday.
