Welcome to our Church

Today is my last time posting as DT member at Through the Craft Room Door. Our challenge is sponsored by Doodle Pantry. I'm so amazed by the amount of things you get with their digi's. I decided to print out the crosses already colored in and die cut it out with a Lawn Fawn die. I took a small flower and placed it in the center of the cross which gave my image lots of dimension because if you take the wire of the flower it will fall apart. So I pulled the wire through to the back and used foam adhesive around the rest of the die cut. It works for this card because it is part of a welcome to our church basket and therefore won't be going through the mail.

My patterned papers are by Basic Grey and Jillibean Soup. The border die is by Spellbinders and the sentiment die is by Stampin Up. The welcome stamp is by TPC Studio that has been stamped with Versa Color pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder by Stamp N Plus. The cardstock in my card and card base is by Recollections.

Cupcakes Galore

There's a new challenge at Through the Craft Room Door and we are sponsored by
Pickled Potpourri Designs

I received this fun cupcake image and went colors galore with my Copics. The image was printed onto Croygen cardstock and then after I colored it in, I die cut it out with a Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink. The yellow embossed cardstock is by Recollections. The blue ribbon is by My Mind's Eye and the pink by Recollections. The sentiment sticker is by American Crafts and the epoxy stickers by Cloud 9 Designs.

Thanks for looking.

First Place Phil Masculine Card

 

The new anything goes challenge at Through the Craft Room Door starts today. 

We are sponsored by Dr Digi House of Stamps

I had a really hard time choosing which image to use for my design team card. I selected 

Dr Digi's First Place Phil

because I have lots of NASCAR fans that receive birthday cards from us.

I printed Phil out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored him in with Copic markers. I die cut him out with a Sizzix oval die and while the image was still in the die I inked the inside with Ranger's distress ink. The patterned paper is from yesterday's POST and it is by Creative Imaginations. The other side is fun for guys too and is really the reason I bought the paper. 

The checked border on the left side is a rolling stamp by Stampin Up (old school). The sentiment I believe is a stamp by Close to my Heart on white Recollections cardstock with Stampin Up Real Red cardstock behind it. 

That's all for now. Thanks for looking.

I used glitter paper by Recollections, Cryogen cardstock with Copic markers, Ranger watercolor paper for the background stamp by Hero Arts that was stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with Ranger embossing powder.

The sentiment is by myStamp Box on Recollections pearl paper with Stampin Up red ink.

Through the Craft Room Door

Today there is a new Through the Craft Room Door  which is Anything goes.

I'm a new DT member to this challenge and here is my first card. We were sponsored by Little Claire and here is this fun elephant image that I got to play with. I printed it out onto HP photo paper and used Ranger's alcohol inks to create this color over the elephants. It took a ton of practicing to get the right color to match the DCWV patterned paper. I matted the image onto black Recollections cardstock and finished it off with some Tim Holtz jute and a button I had on hand.

Thanks for looking.

Guest Designer at TTCRD

Happy Tuesday to everyone. I was selected to be the guest designer at 

Through the Craft Room Door

They are a Tuesday weekly challenge of Anything Goes with a 2 entry limit. I love to see what crafters post on their blog. 

For my project I made a standard 4x5.5 off white card. The fairy image is by 

Fitztown

and I love that she could be used for any season. I love her in fall colors but in the spring she might make an appearance in pastels. For this card I printed her out on Strathmore watercolor paper and then colored/painted her in with Ranger distress inks and markers with a water pen. I love coloring images this way for something different then the Copic markers that I'm not really that good at:) After she was colored in and dry I fussy cut her out and adhered her to a Spellbinders die that had been inked with distress ink and using an ink blender.

The background paper is by Pink Paislee and the dry embossed piece of brown cardstock is by Bazzill. The embossing folder is by Darice. It's really too bad that all my card elements are over the embossing because it really is quite beautiful with a fall flourish and leaves. 

The flowers and leaf are by Prima and the centers of the flowers are from my LSS. The flourishes are cut out using my Cricut and the Cricut Craft Room. These flourishes are for an upcoming card class I will be teaching and my Cricut doesn't cut the greatest on these tiny intricate shapes. The flourishes I used on this card were the poorly cut ones of the bunch that I cut and carved to embellish my card. I love to recycle:)

The sentiment is a stamp by K and i Memories/Hampton Art with ink by Stampin Up.

Thanks so much for dropping by and checking out my card. Be sure to join in at Through the Craft Room Door for Anything Goes sponsored by Fitztown.
