TINGO Tuesday!!!

Well first off I owe everyone an apology.... I know I did not post at all last week after the scheduled Monday post. Unfortunately I caught the nasty evil bug that had attacked my family.  Anyone who has had Norwalk or any or the Noro virus variants will understand when I say....There was nothing I could do, it hits like a Mac truck and you are down and there is no doing anything else until its had its way with you. So needless to say I will be catching up on the missing posts this week. Thank you everyone for your understanding in this. 

This Tuesday it is TINGO time at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  Make us a sample using at least one line of this Bingo sheet..(make sure you go through the middle) then share it on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog for your chance to win! I look forward to seeing your creations!

Here is my creation using Shine Bright-Flapper Couple.   I used all of the Bingo board...how could I resist.

 

The patterned paper is Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate 8 inch pad and they are matted with Tim Holtz Cardstock.  The embossing folder used is an older Stamping up one.  The Die Cuts used are Heartfelt Creations Blossom Corner.  The Buttons and Lace are vintage , and the Pearl trim is Prima Marketing. The ribbon is vintage Harmonie and the covered brad is vintage Stampin Up. 

The papers on the card were all gently distressed with my Prima Distressing tool and Vintage Photo Tim Holtz Ink Pad.  I then touched up the edges with Diamond Stickles.

I hope you enjoyed the card and I look forward to seeing the creations you make for Tingo Tuesday. 

Happy Crafting!

Now back to the Chi Chi Memories Monday post! This is Cute Little Girl... she was a new release for this month.

I kept the card simple. The paper and die cuts are from the Candy Shop paper pad by Best Creations Inc.  I cut out the frame and paper peiced it on to the yellow background paper print.  I then took the scallop circle Sweet diecut and mounted it on brown card-stock  and trimmed to create a border. Then I mounted Sweet Little girl on top after coloring her to coordinate with the papers.  A simple sweet easy to create card... no embellishments needed!  

Colors used:

Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

It's Monday again so time for another creation featuring an image from Chi Chi Memories . This week I chose Joyful Season Girl from the Joyful Season Value set.  She is a sweet image perfect  for scrapbook pages, cards and 3D projects.  

I was clearly influenced by the unending Frozen Music playing in the background when choosing my sentiments and colors.  Doesn't she look like a toddler Anna !

The papers used are from the BoBunny Avalanche collection, and they are mated with Black Soot Distress Cardstock. 

She was printed on Cryogen White paper by Curious Metallic using my Kodak Inkjet Printer.  I love this paper because it has a subtle sparkle to the paper and it lets my copic markers blend really well. 

Colors used:

Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E33, E35, E37, E47, 

Clothes: B00, B01, B02, B04, V01, V04, V06, V09, C3, C5, C7, C9

The final touches to this card were some extra sparkles from Stardust Stickles , and some mettalic Snowflake embellishments that actually came off my broken Christmas garland. 

I hope you have enjoyed the card and we will see you next week for more Chi Chi Memories creations! 

Its a simply Steampunk kind of day!

Well its been a crazy weekend around here. The horrible events of the last 48 hours have hit just a little to close for comfort.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the officers and their family who have been injured in this tragic event. But also to our dear friends whose family home has been violated and their lives forever changed. 

So everyone give those you love that extra squeeze next time you see them!

Today I decided to showcase one of the cards I made before Christmas. It features La-La Land Crafts Top Hat Marci she is available in both Digital and Rubber versions.  I made this card to showcase that you can make an elaborate card without a bunch of expensive embellishments or die cutting machines. This also makes it easier to mail and you do not have the extra charges associated with very thick cards.  

Most important step is to make sure to pick a paper set with lots contrast and interest. The top paper from the BoBunny Somewhere in Time  paper pad had clocks and gears on it and I just cut and positioned my La La Land image to allow them to appear as embellishments.  I made sure to mat each layer of the paper with black cardstock. This allows the eye to focus on each paper individually   and make them appear important like framed artwork . Try and keep the rule of mixing up the pattern sizes of the paper  a contrast of colors as well as small ,medium, and large prints helps make the individual pieces stand out and not become a blur of images. 

Try to chose colors when coloring you image that both coordinate with the paper but also allow the image to "pop" on the page.  For this image I stuck with the blue and grey theme but made the grey a purplish grey and the brightened up the blue shade in order to make it pop out and you eye to focus on it. 

The colors used are :

Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E15, E18, R89, C6

Clothes: B02, B04, B05, B06, C00, C1, C3, BV11, BV13, BV17, Y32, Y35, Y38

Also on the Hat/shoes: BV23, BV25, BV29

The only final accents  were the "gears" which I traced out and cut out on paper. Some Glossy Accents  on the clock and circle letters for contrast, a hint on Wink of Stella clear glitter for some sparkle. And some small rhinestones in the corners on the papers just for fun.

I hope you have enjoyed this project , make sure you keep checking back throughout the week for new projects from me. 

Happy crafting!

So as you know my Design Team term ended January 1st with Tiddly Inks Stamps....and I was heartbroken to leave....even my little girl was upset!  This hands down has been the best team I have worked on!
