Hey - Double Trouble Challenge #48 with AHSC

Here is my DT Card for Double Trouble Challenge #48 "Say Cheese", something to make you smile with Twisted Sister's Optional Twist "comfort food" and using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #352.  

Circle Die was cut in the center of the Cranberry background and then the two spotlight cuts were made from a collage die, a patterned paper was placed in the back of the cranberry panel and then layered to Honey Cardstock and adhered to my card base.  

The Drive Thru cuts (cheeseburger, fries and drink) were cut with different colors of cardstock and pieces layered and finished foods were then adhered to the circle with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Sentiment was cut two times in the cranberry cardstock and adhered to background.

It's Your Day - Color Dare #377

This is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #377 using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #351.  The color palette for this challenge is CTMH paper pack "Spruced Up" and pretty much used all the colors in this palette except for Gold. Love all the design papers and zip strips in this packet and it was just easy to select the designs papers for each weave. Design strips were weaved and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.     

Curved the stamped sentiment directly on the woodgrain background, fussy-cut the Bird on branch from one of the design papers, adhered bird above the sentiment with 3D thin foam tape and finally used Novo drops on the branch berries and along sentiment.

You're the Beary Best - Double Trouble Challenge #47 "Hot or Cold"

This card was created for the Double Trouble Challenge #47 "Hot or Cold" embossing to include Twisted Sister's optional twist "Something Warm" and inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #350 changing the sketch to portrait and sharing with Double Trouble's partner Stinkin' Inkers January Challenge "Warm Up".   

My stack of bears/penguins were stamped on white cardstack, masked to create each level, colored with Copic sketch pens, fussy-cut and adhered with thin foam tape for dimension on the embossed background.  The adorable penguin snow fairy was stamped, colored, fussy-cut and adhered above the stack with thin foam tape.  The large paw print was embossed fussy-cut, colored and adhered to the embossed background in the same space as the background.  A small sentiment was directly stamped on background.

Hello World - Color Dare #375 Blue Monochromatic

Here is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #375 "Blue Monochromatic and All Neutrals Free" using the different design papers from CTMH "Into The Wild" paper pack, PML and complements to create a backdrop scene for the adorable hippo.    The hippo was stamped on a linen design paper from the packet, fussy-cut and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for more dimension.  The sentiment was taken from the PML sheet, layered with cardstock and adhered to star background.  

I was really pressed for time to get my card done and this prooved to be a project that took approximately an hour.

Welcome Baby - Double Trouble Challenge #45 Something, Anything, Everything

This is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #45 "Something, Anything, Everything" using the Twisted Sister's optional twist of "Something New". I decided to go with a new 5 x 7 Box Die, a Christmas gift from my daughter, and included the second optional twist of "New Baby".

This is a 5 x 7 box card which has an array of several items hidden; but when pulled open it creates a dimensional box full of baby items. Started out using die cuts from Cricut since I didn't have any stamps or dies of baby items.

Since we were doing a family weekend at my son and son-in-law's cabin I was restricted for time on my Cricut and asked my daughter if she had any stamps and/or dies on baby items that could be borrowed. She did...and can you believe it, this adorable set had not been used yet, and no longer available because they have gone out of business. So my Cuttabug made our trip to the Cabin, along with a few items to finish my card.

The morning before breakfast, started to cut some of the cute dies; but my son had other plans for me...curtains. Sooo, my project will have to wait until we get back home.

Still another delay because we decided, upon return home, to pick up our new adopted kitty (Cleo); however, she was an adorable distraction throughout the rest of the day so wasn't able to finish my project until 11:30 Sunday evening, and just completed my post this morning.

Here are additional photos that open up to the pop of all the baby items used for the box.  Let me know what you see. 
 

Please join us at Double Trouble for this fun challenge "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" 

THING 1:  Trouble Maker

says, "It's time again to grab your bone folder and other stuff, and create something new. We think this is easier than folding a fitted sheet! It's time to use the 'stuff' you have in your stash (new and/or old)."

You can stop here...

OR, you can choose to include Twisted Sister's Optional Twist below to earn additional chances at our random draw.   

THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Out with the old! In with the NEW!  Use a new crafting item you either found under the tree, in your stocking or a fairly new item you purchased but have not used, and don't forget to let us know what it was you used; 

OR create a project about something new - New Year, new baby, etc.  

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw if you include either of these twists in your project.

THING 2: Double Trouble 

dares you to multiply the fun and link up your project with any of our previous partner(s) listed below for extra chances to our Random Draw. Make sure you read their guidelines carefully and observe their dates. We don't want you to get into Trouble with them.

This means: each time you link to a previous partner with the same card, you gain an additional chance for each partner challenge you entered. Please make sure you identify them in your blog along with our Double Trouble link.

My Share with Previous Partnering Challenges:  Sharing with a previous partner was a real challenge due to the holiday and the only previous partnering challenge was 2CraftyCritterCrazies; but they had closed before our challenge went live. I will try at the The Crafter's Café even though there were no noticeable C's in the project I did have "I spy with a little eye something starting with C" (Cheek on elephant, Circles on Balloon and maybe the "c" in Welcome).  Let me know if you C more than I C with your little eye.

Holly Jolly - Elf Christmas Cards

These cards were made from the CTMH Christmas Cardmaking Workshop which included 16 card bases and envelopes, instructions for the cuts made for the layouts using the Holly Jolly designs papers and stamp set which were also included. Some of the layouts were modified but all the cuts were used as in the manual and with additional cuts was able to make 20 cards.

Several gift and signs were stamped on white cardstock, cut using the Brother Scan & Cut and colored with Copics. Used the thin cut for the Eft and then stamped, colored, adhered with think foam tape to the background created and then layered the signs or gifts with thin foam tape for additional dimension.

My first Elf card was made for the Coffee Lover's Fall and Winter Blog Hop back in November (Click HERE); but just this past week completed the other 20 for my Christmas mailings. I started addressing and mailing them before taking photos so these are just the last few cards made from this bundle. This was a fun project.

Let It Snow & Warm Winter Wishes

Here are more of the Arizona Sunshine "Warm Winter Wishes" but in portrait and in a variety of colors. 

Snowman and cactus were stamped in Black, cut with my Brother Scan and Cut, and colored with Copic Sketch Brush Pens in a variety of colors. Changing to portrait, stamped a sentiment across the bottom of my card base, added a design paper frame and adhered the snowman, cactus and a die-cut sun with 3D thin and regular foam tape. Easy and fast layout; but the coloring was very time consuming. Made eight more of these cards but put in mail before a photo was taken.
