CHEF'S BIRTHDAY

 

This sweet image is from Digi Doodle Studios, which has unfortunately closed.  It was originally part of the Bon Appetite Pairables set.  I have used this character twice before.  You can see those cards here and here.

I have coloured the image with Copics and used a set of Poppy Crafts dies to frame the image and sentiment.

My papers are from the Echo Park A Slice of Summer paper pack.  My only embellishments are Dress It Up buttons.

Thanks so much for popping in for a look today!

FOR AN ARTIST

 

When I first saw this image by Elvi's Design Studio, I knew exactly who it needed to be for.  It's just perfect for a digital artist's birthday card, right!

I've added one of her own images to the iPad: Lovey

I have coloured the image with Copics and used papers and stickers from the Carta Bella Gather at Home paper pack, for this card.  I've added a strip of lace and flowers from I Am Roses.

The postal service is so unreliable these days, that I'm not sure when this will reach it's destination, if at all, so I'll be keeping this one secret until it gets there.

Thanks for popping in for a look!

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS CAMELLIA CLOVER

This will be my last post as part of the Digi Doodle Studios design team.  I have had some changes in my personal life, leaving me with less time to craft, and I've had to restructure my schedule.  I have loved every moment of being on this team.  It has been an honour to showcase Dina's glorious art and wonderful to be part of such a talented team of designers.  

Today I'm showcasing Camellia Clover, and giving her an Autumn vibe.

I've gone with a brand new card design for me: A Theatre fold card.

This is the card closed:

As you can see, I didn't quite manage to line up my doors properly.

And from above:

I watched several YouTube video tutorials.  You can find my favourite here: Tutorial Video

Now I must be honest, I made many mistakes along the way, mainly because I had to adapt my card for the fact that my image has a portrait orientation, rather than a landscape orientation.  I had to cut virtually every piece twice, before I managed to get it right.

My paper and the little sentiment tag are from the Echo Park I Love Family collection.  I've added a little pre-made bow from my stash, and Green Tara flowers.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS NEW RELEASE PERRY

I have a brand new image to share with you today.  This gorgeous little guy is called Perry, and he's one of the New Release images available at Digi Doodle Studios this week.  

I have coloured Perry with Copics and used a Creative Dies wonky stitches oval die to cut him out.  I've then used the same die to cut an offset oval.  Behind that, I've used a Creative Dies wonky stitches circle die twice, to do the same with the paper.

My papers are from the Echo Park Fall is in the Air paper pack.  The tag and heart banner are from the Echo Park I Love Family collection.  

I've added a few Echo Park enamel dots, and Prima Autumn leaves.  I've had these leaves in my stash for quite a while, and I'm thrilled to finally have them on a card.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS CHALLENGE #42: SHAKER/SHAPED CARD/GIFT BAGS/BOXES

We have a fabulously fun theme for you this month, with lots of options!

Our theme for the month is:

SHAKER OR SHAPED CARDS / GIFT BAGS / BOXES

I've decided to go with a shaped card, and the easiest way to do that, is to let my Silhouette Cameo do it for me!  I chose an Autumn basket of leaves, offset the image, doubled it up and welded it, for my base card and then cut out the different elements in the different colours.  

To keep with the Autumn theme, I chose Heidi Autumn.  I absolutely love the joy of this image!  I coloured the image with Copics, then used a Creative Dies wonky stitches die to cut it out, and inked the edges.  I've mounted the image panel so that half of it is overlapping the Autumn basket.

My sentiment is made up of two stickers from the Echo Park Fall is in the Air collection.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS NIXIE MERMAID

This gorgeous image is called Nixie Mermaid.  I have coloured the image with Copics, and then used Distress Ink and a Creative Expressions stencil to create the sun rays through the water.

I've used a Craft Emotions scalloped rectangle die to frame the image.

My paper is from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Collection.  It's such a pity so much of it is covered up, because it's SO pretty!

I've added a sheer ribbon and tied off a bow; KaiserCraft and Green Tara flowers; and KaiserCraft wood ebllishments, which I've sprayed with while Gesso. I've also wrapped the image with a string of pearls and  added a few pearl swirls.
