CAS357 - HELLO

Hey there, this week's CAS challenge has to do with a color wheel.  My birth color on the wheel is red and the surrounding colors are pink and orange.  Kind of unusual color combo, huh?  I decided flower die cuts would be the easiest way to combine the colors.

STAMPS:  None
PAPER:  Neenah Solar White; Bazzill
INK:  None
ACCESSORIES:  Sizzix Big Shot; MFT Blueprints; PTI flowers; PS Hello Words; Doodlebug Designs Beetle Black Sprinkles; SU Dimensionals; Art Glitter Glue
SIZE OF FINISHED PROJECT:  A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")

I had some white flower die cuts left over from the first card, so I put together a second with the leftover pieces.  Another easy peasy die cut card!

CAS356 - SNOW WILSON

Hey there, it's time for this week's CAS challenge, Some People are Worth Melting For, to use a snowman on your project.  I've had Tom & Jerry from Whipper Snapper Designs for a while and have been hoping to ink it up.  Do you remember that old tv show, Tool Time?  This stamp totally reminded me of when Wilson, the neighbor, would peek over the fence to talk with the Taylors'.  *grin*  The fun layout is Freshly Made Sketches #217 and was perfect for this image!  I'm also entering this into the Color Throwdown #373 ~ Any Christmas Creation, Any Colors.



The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut and set aside.  The bottom portion of the background panel was masked, liquid masking fluid was spritzed and after it dried, Summer Sky was sponged then the liquid mask was removed revealing a snow-filled sky.  The snowman/bird were glued to the back of the fence then popped up on foam.  A Copic Multiliner was used to complete the snowman's mouth because it showed behind the "dog-eared" fence.

CAS355 - HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hey there, today was a perfect (stormy) day to stay indoors and color!  Even better...my son and his girlfriend stopped by for a little visit!  That makes me a happy girl!  *grin*  Today's CAS challenge, Trim the Tree, is to use a tree image.  I took some liberties for the "tree" and used Savannah Has a Star from Stamping Bella.  Oh my, that dress was so fun to color!!!


She was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic Markers.  Clear Wink of Stella was used on the star, glass and ornaments.  A clear glaze pen was used on the glass and garland for a nice, subtle shine.  The fun layout is this week's Stamping Bella challenge.

CAS354 - SNOW FUN

Hey there, back with card number two for the Evergreen CAS challenge at SCS...this was the layout I was telling you about.  I created it by spritzing the panel with masking fluid, letting it dry then sponging Pistachio and Bamboo Leaves over the top.  The snow-filled sky pops after the mask is gently rubbed off.



The adorable Snowflake image is from C.C. Designs.  Don't you love her rosy cheeks?  She was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut.  The snowflakes have Clear Wink of Stella and a silver rhinestone in the center.  The layers were all popped up on foam.

CAS354 - JOLLY HOLLY-DAYS

Hey there, I've got two cards to share with you today.  They are both for this week's Evergreen, monochromatic greens, CAS challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  I actually made a different background for this cutie pie, but it was too much white and I just wasn't feeling it.



Frosty is from C.C. Designs and is so much fun to color!  He was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut.  In keeping with the "green" theme, the snowman suit was colored with my favorite snow combo...green...blue green to be more precise.  Mask It was used to cover the bottom portion of the panel then a liquid masking fluid was spritzed with a toothbrush.  After it was dry, Pistachio was sponged over the top then I used my finger to rub off the masking fluid after it was done.  I actually got this idea for the layout from a card that Kim O'Connell recently made.  Love it!  I left off the sequins and added a die cut element in the corner.  Well, I guess that's about it.

LLLC - PEACE GIFT BAG

Hey there, it's been a quick last couple of months and all good things must come to an end.  This is my last post as La-La Land Crafts Guest Design Team member.  Thank you, Debbie Pamment, for inviting me to be a part of such a super nice group of ladies...so flippin' talented!  Today's challenge, Add Roses.  I really, really LOVE making flowers, so this was right up my alley!  *grin*  Kick back, I've got a handful of pictures to share with you.  I decided to make a gift bag using Winter Princess Marci.




Here's a close up of just the colored image and die cut pieces.  LLLC's Lattice Doily Border is absolutely perfect for adding bling!  Check out all those rhinestones!  What you can't see in the photo, is all the shimmer!  All of the white parts of Marci's dress, the doily die cuts and the white flourishes are covered with Clear Wink of Stella.


Here is an angled view...such dimension with those flowers!  The sentiment was cut directly from the Copic colored banner.  I cut 4-5 sentiments from white cardstock then "inlaid" the sentiment.  Cool effect!
OMGosh...how beautiful is that Mini Hybrid rose from My Favorite Things?  *swoon*  The rose was colored to match Marci's dress.
This one is a tad bit blurry, but you get the gist.  The veins of the poinsettia were colored with Copic markers then it was shaped.  The rose is just the center part to the MFT Mini Hybrid Rose.  It has the perfect hidy hole for it to peek out!


COPIC COLORING:
SKIN:  E11, E00, E0000, R30  HAIR:  Y23, YR30  DRESS, CROWN, SCEPTER:  BV29, BV25, BV23, BV20, 0  FLOWERS:  BV23, BV20, 0

CAS353 - POINSETTIA ORNAMENT

Hey there, it's the fifth week of the month for the CAS challenges at Splitcoaststampers...so that means it's Anything But a Card!  With that, we decided to go with Christmas ornaments and/or holiday decorations.  Fun, huh?


I made snow by grating styrofoam.  Seriously quick and easy...and it looks great inside the glass ball!  The poinsettia was die cut then shaped with Susan's Garden Took Kit.  More styrofoam was glued to the poinsettia and greenery for added interest.  A little twine and a tag complete the ornament.

LLLC - THANK YOU

Hey there, just popping in with this week's La-La Land Crafts challenge, Thanksgiving or Thanks.  I did a little of both by using Pilgrim Luka on a thank you card.


Luka was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam.  The background panel was sponged with Toffee Crunch then Peanut Brittle.  Peanut Brittle was splattered onto the panel with a paint brush, and a Sizzix die cut sentiment completes the card.

CAS352 - SHINE BRIGHT

Hey there, it's time for this week's CAS, Christmas Critters, challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  I've been dying to color Nacho-deer from Stamping Bella...too dang cute!  I totally CASED this layout from MFT's Stephanie Klauck.  I changed the image, sentiment and pattern paper.



The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers.  A clear glaze pen was used on the ornament and the dog's eyes for a subtle shine.  The nose has a couple coats of clear Wink of Stella then a nice glob of Glossy Accents for added dimension.  I just LOVE the new sentiments from My Favorite Things...just perfect for this image!

CAS351 - INLAID THANKS

Hey there, I'm back with card number two for today's Fall Foliage CAS challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  I'm using another super cute Whipper Snapper Designs image called Thurston.  Seriously cute squirrel, if I do say so myself!




The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers.  "Thanks" was die cut right over the top of the image, and the pieces were set aside.  Thanks was die cut four more times, layered and glued into place.  The original die cut pieces were glued over the top of the others to complete the "inlay" process.

LLLC - IT'S YOUR DAY!

Hey there, La-La Land Crafts challenge for this week is Here Comes the Bride.  This is actually perfect timing...my hubby's long time bachelor friend is FINALLY getting married!  I never thought that would happen.  LOL!  He's a super nice guy, and I'm really happy for him!


Marci was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers.  The frame was cut five times then adhered together for added dimension.  LLLC's Wrought Iron Fence was cut in half...I'm not sure if you can see from the picture, but the opening was bent outwards to mimic a gate.  A few My Favorite Things flowers were cut from Neenah, colored with Copics, shaped then adhered to the fence.  LLLC's Flower banner adds a little more festivity and a single bloom ties it all together.

CAS350 - LITTLE SOLDERS

Hey there, it's a fun CAS challenge this week...we're supposed to create a project that reminds us of Grandma's house.  I was going through my stamps when I came across this Stamping Bella image.  It totally took me back to when I was little!  My Grandma (pretty sure I get my craftiness from her), used to love to make Christmas ornaments.  One year she made little soldiers!  This is the perfect stamp for the challenge!  *grin*



The soldiers were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers.  The panel was die cut with a My Favorite Things edge die...love!  The gold panel was created with Copic markers, as was the poinsettia.  Prills were used for the flower center, and instead of bringing in more colors, I opted to color the flower's leaves black instead of the typical green.  I'm not sure if I love it, but I don't hate it either.

This card fits into the following challenges:

ADDICTED TO STAMPS ~ #169 Clean and Simple

Hey there, happy Monday!  Time for La-La Land Crafts Take Two challenge, to use two images.  Christmas Lantern Marci is a cutie pie, for sure!


Marci was stamped with Tuxedo Black, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut.  The sky has masking fluid spritzed on it then dried before it was sponged with blue inks.  The mask was gently removed to reveal a cool, snow-filled sky.  The trees were colored, fussy cut then glued onto the background.  The snowdrifts were lightly sponged between layers and Marci was popped up to complete the card.
