Have a Magical Birthday - Double Trouble Challenge #80 "Something, Anything, Everything"

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #78 "Something, Anything, Everything" using Twisted Sister's optional twist to celebrate National Crayon Day and include an image on your project that you have colored.  Again, went through my container of unfinished Copic Class card kits and found another Whimsy's wizzard images... much to my surprise it didn't even need a touchup.  

The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #414 had a window box which was perfect to set my frog on.  Pulled out my Wood Grain paper pack and selected one of the design papers to die cut the window/window box and also used as the background.  Fussy-cut my frog image and glued to the window box with froggy's foot on the edge and the other items in the box.  Made my window into a shaker with the sequins and then adhered to the background paper.  Using 3D foam tape put the window box and image at bottom of window.  The sentiment was layered with the wood grain and adhered to background with 3D thin for tape. 

 

At Double Trouble Our Things 1, 2 and 3 sure bring on some wierd combinations but I like to challenge them all; however, you have the flexibility of doing just Thing 1 "Something, Anything, Everything" and be eligible for our random draw.

For those that really like more of a challenge may want to include Twisted Sister's optional twist and/or enter at our previous partner's challenge if you have met their requirement... and you will be rewarded additional chances for the random draw. List of previous partners in Double Trouble post. Please join us for this fun challenge.

You Must Be Kitten - 2021 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

Some of us from Our Little Crop Group attended many Copic Coloring Classes before the Pandemic at a local scrapbook store. The coloring packets were included in a plastic bag with all the cuts and trimmings and instructions to assemble a card.  

These packets are stored in a plastic container beckening to be used... so below my card is the packet I chose for the 2021 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop.  There are times I used them just as is; however, I prefer to create my own card using some of the cuts and/or changing the sketch and/or colors.  

 

 

Jennifer Dove's Copic Card Class packet changes:  Only used the plaid paper and image from the card packet.  Metal die used to cut the cup from the plaid paper and fussy-cut the bath cat image in two.  Pieced them together using tape and the bubbles and rubber ducky with 3D foam tape. My intial coloring was so much lighter so touched it up a bit for more dimension.  

My background was totally different from the pieces in the packet... selected from my stash a background paper to use as wallpaper, added a die cut window with the outside view of another design paper with clouds.  Adhered the bath cat image with 3D thin foam tape in front of the window, scattered a few bubbles and sporadically added liquid glass to some of the bubbles. I was pleased with the new scene for bath cat... hope you enjoy it too.

Hey Chickie - 2021 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

Some of us from Our Little Crop Group attended many Copic Coloring Classes before the Pandemic at a local scrapbook store. The coloring packets were included in a plastic bag with all the cuts and trimmings and instructions to assemble a card.

Nicolette's Copic Card Class Packet changes:  One of my chicks were scrapped because of a pen leak.  The large egg was cut using a steel die to make a cup and another oval die to change the size to fit the cup. Used most all the other papers and embellishments in the kit but changed the initial sketch.  So I now claim this as my own creativity... but each as cute as the other.

Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

This is a card I made for the 2021 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop using the colors from ColorMyHeart Color Dare #436 "TicTacToe" and combining it with the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #498.  Chose a tea cup die and cut it with one of the design papers from the CTMH Daisy Meadows.  The images, flowers and eggs were fussy cut from the same design paper and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  A border die was used for the lace and the eggs replaced the bow in the sketch.  Two mint embellishments were added to the left-hand upper corner.   

Please visit Coffee Lovers Hop, ColorMyHeart Color Dare and Try Stampin' on Tuesday for inspiration and create something for Spring/Summer.  Looking forward to seeng what you have created.

Here is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #436 "TicTacToe" which is the Color Palette for Daisy Meadows CTMH paperpack and I chose to use all the colors.  The Sketch used is from Heart2Heart and perfect for a variety of design papers. 

The floral design paper was used for my background, the other panels were cut to size using one of the other design papers and zip strips and placed as in the sketch.  The bunny in the basket and flowers were all fussy-cut from another design paper and adhered to the panels with 3D thin foam tape. Finished with a sentiment stamped in black in the upper left-hand corner.   

Color My Heart Color Dare challenges are carried forward for two weeks so if you didn't share your project the first week you still have another week to enter that challenge... both of these challenges are on the side bar of the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog.

Sending You Get Well Wishes - AHSC #412

I love this stamp set from CTMH and just needed to create a card. The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #412 was perfect for my butterfly.  

Aside from coloring more time was spent on getting a good full print of all the detail.  Stamping with Versa Mark you can't really see whether it's covering all the detail until you shake on the  embossing powder to see some detail missing. Not sure whether this is a defect in the stamp or my stamping.  Misti or a brush for even pressure, nothing worked.   

After several attempts, and being persistent, I stamped it again (3 times using the Misti) and Memento "Black" ink so I could clearly see all the detail, let it dry and then stamped with Versa Mark.  When the heat embossing was completed if embossing powder was lacking it didn't show because of the black stamping.  

Usually I'll pick out my paper before coloring my image for a closer match of colors but had decided I would use a white background with a black strip.  So picked up my Sketch brush pens and completed the coloring of the butterfly and then fussy-cut.  Unintentionally I put it down on the plaid that was sitting on my desk from Daisy Meadows paperpack which I had just used on a previous card... it made me happy. 

Now, I wasn't undecided of the solid black strip... so went to my border dies and found a die that wasn't solid and decided to tone down the black and cut one in the Peacock color that was in the plaid and another cut in yellow... made me happier.  Stamped the sentiment on white cardstock, layered with peacock, and also layered my plaid with peacock and assembled on my card base.  And unusual for me; no thin 3D foam tape used and still pleased with the demension.

Create Your Own Magic - Double Trouble Challenge #79 "A Magical Day"

This is my Design Team Card for Double Trouble Challenge #79 "A Magical Day" partnering with Dies R Us, using at least one steel die.  I was also able to include this in ColorMyHeart Color Dare's Challenge #435 "Green + 1 Color... I chose blue as my additional color.    

Before the Pandemic I attended many of the Copic classes offered at our local scrapbook store given by Jennifer Dove. I knew the magic I wanted to create so went to my Copic cards that were not completed and chose one of the Wizard cards.  Her kits include all the pieces for her design... however I like to make it my own layout and choose only to use some of the items so that it's not the same as those attending the class.  

The Wizard frame was cut using a Square Stiched Die.  I needed to complete the coloring of the frame and wizard, and then choose some patterned paper and embellishments. In CTMH Mix-In I found a perfect green plaid match for my background and layered it on black cardstock, added the stars and sentiment and done.  I have two more wizards that I need to complete so you may see them later this year. 

      

At Double Trouble Our Things 1, 2 and 3 sure bring on some wierd combinations but I like to challenge them all; however, you have the flexibility of doing just Thing 1 "A Magical Day" and be eligible for our random draw.
