Finally Friday - Chicks with an Attitude with Christine Pennington

Finally Friday for Chicks with an Attitude. I do believe that my

chick card has an "attitude"!    Rather sassy, I would say!  
This is the stamp set, T3353 Tail Feathers.

The image is stamped on Premium White cardstock and layered on

Emma SWIC collection and cardstock using

Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 9.  I colored with Copic markers.

To finish it off I added the sassy saying and some red buttons with Yellow Scrapper's Floss.



Tune in Tuesday - Black and White (with a touch of color) with Holly Mays

It is Tuesday again, and I am glad you have tuned in for our Black & White day.

For my card I used TAC's stamp T2667 Cars and a piece of the

free download black & white printed paper. For the touch of color

I used red cardstock from the Miss Moxie SWIC cardstock collection,

and of course Premium White cardstock to stamp the car. 

My card is embellished with some lines using the Scor-Bug, a black button with

Red Scrappers Floss, and a printed birthday ribbon.

DDH4 Challenge - Paper Piecing - Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of our DDH Challenge Paper Piecing. 

My card this week is DDH stamp set called Country Jar.  I paper pieced the jar

lid and ribbon on the lid with Miss Moxie SWIC cardstock from The Angel

Company.  The background cardstock on the card is also Miss Moxie. 

The stamp is placed on yellow cardstock from the Miss Moxie cardstock collection,

cut from the Spellbinders Labels Five Nestabilities.  The jar of chocolates is colored

with Copics E13, E15, E47, N0, N1, N4.  The saying is a SU set called Oh So Sweet.

Golden Egg Cardmakers' Challenge with Kerry Urbatch

An Easter challenge - how fun is that!

For the Golden Egg Cardmakers' Challenge we had to include the following

items on our cards: glitter, 3 layers, 3 colors, ribbon/scrappers floss and flowers.

I used Coluzzle oval cutters to make an egg card from the golden Miss Moxie cardstock. 

Then I layered over the base card some of the printed Miss Moxie SWIC papers. 

The lamb and egg image from R2041 Hoppity Skippity is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Premium White cardstock and colored with Copic markers. 

For the required embellishments I added a bow, a flower from Bitty Blossoms, and Stickles Glitter glue in purple and orange and green.



Tune in Tuesday - Kraft Cards with Heather Scott

Tune in Tuesday - Kraft Cards

A piece of TAC's free download paper Robin seemed perfect for my Kraft card with
T2700 Good Timber. I stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on
Premium White cardstock and layered it on the Kraft base card.

I added eyelets from the Hemingway hardware collection.

It doesn't show much but I colored lightly with

Copics YG93 and E55 on the trees and grass.

DDH4 Challenge - Paper Piecing - Week 1

The Digi Design Challenge for this week is Paper Piecing.  This is a little more tricky with digital images than with rubber stamps because the printed or colored paper to be used for paper piecing has to be run through the printer so that the image can be printed on it.  Then it can be cut out and pieced on to the main printed image.

I chose the DDH stamp Quilt for my project.  It had so many different colored pieces that I ended up printing several times to get all the pieces covered.  But I am pleased with the outcome

I used a Cuttlebug Embossing folder to make the background piece and then found a ribbon that had a similar swirl in it to tie around the cardstock piece.  The cardstock is Bazzill.  There was no coloring on this card since it is all  paper-pieced.

Be sure to check out all the DDH Dream Team Designer's blogs and see their creations. 

You can find them all listed at the DDH blog, so be sure to go there and you can also link your

paper piecing card to the blog for a chance to win a free DDH stamp set of

your choice.  And if you use a DDH image on your card, your name will

be entered twice in the drawing for a free stamp set. 

All the submissions would love to have you visit their blogs and leave

some love and comments for them there.  We do hope you will

play along and join the fun. 

Finally Friday (Easter Favors and/or Treat Holders) with Michelle McDaniel

What fun to make special treat favors for Easter! Today we are showcasing our stamp creations designed to hold those sweet Easter goodies.  Michelle McDaniel is leading this challenge on the Savvy Projects blog, so be sure to see what she has shown us.

I created an Easter basket from a 6"x6" square of Emma SWIC printed paper.

Here is a tutorial for construction this little basket.  (This same pattern works for the Easter Basket Bonanza basket I did last Friday on the blog hop, except in that one I used a 12x12 piece of cardstock, and therefore the basket was larger).

Score a 6x6" piece of double-sided cardstock (I used Emma) every 2" in both directions.

Cut into the center on two sides of the middle panel on each side, as pictured.

Make a pointed tip of the middle section that was cut.

Then cut the side panels into three strips each, stopping at the center.  I did not measure but just estimated a third of the section when I cut.

Now you are ready to fold the strips to meet in the center, using Scor-tape or a strong adhesive.  Leave the pointed center on the outside to glue last.

Add a 1/2 or 3/4" by 7" handle to each side of the basket with brads, and fill it with grass and candy.  I also added a stamped image on the front from T3304 Easter Bunny and a saying from R2041 Hoppity Skippity. I punched them out with an Oval Punch and matted them on a piece of cardstock punch from the Scallopped Oval Circle.

I can't wait to see what treat holder you link to show what you do with Easter favors.
