Hoppy Easter "You are Somebunny Special" Color Dare #339

This bunny image was from one of my Copic Classes; however, instead of using the card kit I decided to do my own card design and change some of the colors to meet the ColorMyHeart Color Dare TicTacToe Challenge #339.  I chose a tutorial "How to make a flip/swing card" by The Frugal Crafter by Lindsay Weirich.  These colors were perfect for a Easter card.

A variety of Copic Sketch Brush Pens were used for the bunny image...the pants were thistle with polka dots using Row 1 colors: Fern/Raspberry/Carolina and the bunny using Gray Neutrals, Sugarplum on the paws and Carolina for the eyes.  

There was a lot of layering and piecing of all the florals using the same colors, adding pearls to the center and then randomly placed white Nuvo drops around the florals and the bunny oval frame on the inside.  Two great sentiments were added to finish the card.   

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #312:  Maybe a little out of the box; but I think the front and inside both take on this sketch challenge.  

Please stop by and view the DT's inspiration for the Color Dare's TicTacToe Mix-up Spring/Easter Inspirational Board and join us...we would love to see the projects you create. This Color Dare Challenge will be open for (2) weeks. Please make sure you use only the colors that are on the Board and use neutrals as identified for each challenge...this weeks challenge "all" neutrals free.

Double Trouble Challenge #24 "Metallic" with Brown Sugar "Transportation"

This is my DT card for "Double Trouble Challenge "Use Metallic" adding the twist "my favorite mode of travel" which then qualified me to enter in the Brown Sugar Challenge #288 "Transportation".   

This image was colored at one of my first Copic Classes.  A Card Kit is supplied to include all the materials needed to put the card together; however the only items used were the image and sentiment.  And, to be perfectly honest had difficulty in putting the fold card together.  To add the twist used a metallic gold background paper layered with black cardstock, layered the colored image with black cardstock and adhered image to the background.  Found some metallic brads (which has been in my stash for at least five years), adhered them to the side mirrors of the van and then adhered both panels to the card base.  Sentiment was layered with black and adhered with 3D Thin Foam Tape in bottom corner.    

Thank you to Jenifer Dove (Just4FunCrafts) for being my first Instructor, at The Paper Collage Copic Class, a local scrapbook store in Peoria Arizona.

Hello Pumpkin - H2H Oct Week 5

This card was made for Heart2Heart "Pumpkin Spice" theme using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #287.  Ohhh, who doesn't like Pumpkin Spice Latte. It wasn't difficult for me to pull out one of my coffee cup dies and piece together with kraft and one of my design papers from Hello Pumpkin paper pack.  Die cut three different size pumpkins and adhered the smallest one to the coffee sleeve along with a sentiment.  

Chose the plaid for my background and for the largest pumpkin placing the pumpkin and matching the pattern of the background to make it appear like an eclipse card.  Leaves were placed on each pumpkin, and another sentiment stamped on bottom.   

Oooops, I went to post my card in the challenge, but I was a day late and a dollar short, but still enjoyed using their sketch for my Pumpkin Spice card.

A Treat For You - Double Trouble Challenge #12

My project for Double Trouble "Halloween and Fall Season" and partnering with The Paper Girls #162 Halloween.  The tutorial that I used for my Halloween Treat Box is below in my Products List.  Chose three of the design papers from "Hello Pumpkin", cut several panels for the sides and top while layering each with black.  Selected several dies from my stash, starting cutting and adhered throughout my box panels. Added some candy in the inside pockets of the gift box for my husband.  

I had forgotten that Twisted Sister asked for an optional twist "a frame".  Since I already had my sweet witch adhered and didn't want to cover up the pretty design paper, I improvised.  Die cut an oval frame using  the same paper, tore off the witch and applied the oval to the 3D thin foam tape used when layering the witch, die cut two more witches, layered and applied with glue to the oval.  I'm sure this will make her very happy and I want to keep Twisted Sister happy, or who knows - she may come to my home and unwrap her costume and place it in my tree.  

In addition to entering your Halloween card at The Paper Girls, please find your way to my daughter's challenge "Three Amigos Challenge #19 Autumn/Halloween" and enter there too for eligibility to random draw gift at the end of the month.

Boo - Let the Witching Hour Begin - Color Dare #314

This card is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #314 using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #285 and theme from Three Amigos Challenge 19 "Autumn/ Halloween".  Well, my first thought was a Halloween card so selected "Hello Pumpkin" for my design paper and pulled out one of the PML cards, die cut a Halloween Village border and adhered with 3d thin foam tape above the sentiment.  

The background was a design paper from "Oh What Fun" and layered with Clover cardstock.  The only thing left where I could pull in the Lagoon was another design paper for one of the banners and made a banner from the other two designs I used on the card.  For the banners just picked another design paper to pull in the third color and added a sentiment "Boo".  Wink of Stella added to the Boo Sentiment and the Halloween Village border.

First Day - You Add Color to My Life

DAY 2 PM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP

My Friend just became a Disign Team Member...so this card is made for Brown Sugar Challenge #268 "Back to School" theme, combined with Try Stampin' - or not - On Tuesday Sketch Challenge #339.   

It took me a lot of thought and time on how I was going to do Back to School card to include coffee.  Since I wasn't coming up with any ideas just went to my stash and pulled an image that was already cut, colored and trimmed up the fuss-cut.  Next I had purchased a stamp set at a scrapping flea show over a year ago and never used and there was an apple on it. First and last time that stamp will be used, it just crumbled apart.  I was on my way and just cut pieces, of design paper from "Magical" paperpack, according to the sketch and it was starting to come together.  CTMH Artbooking had a "First Day" die cut.  

Thought I was finiished but remembered there was a challenge going on with an inspirational picture of a basket of apples "Paper Sweeties".  I didn't have any of their stamps on the card, but did remember I had some crayons and paint brush stamps.  So stamped, colored, and fussy-cut.  And the sentiment on the same stamp set was perfect.  

Now I had to put it all together...that was the easy part because The Outlawz asked for 3 pop-ups and these items were perfect...adhered with different thicknesses of 3D foam tape to give it a lot of dimension as you can tell from the pictures below.  

The inside of the card stamped on the border "Back to School" and added a strip of Design Paper
