THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #430: THANK YOU CREATION

Good Morning crafters!

We have a fun new challenge this week. The theme for the week is:

THANK YOU CREATIONS

It's always good to have a thank you card on hand. You never know when you'll need one.

I have used Circus on my card, and added the sentiment to her balloon.

I've used a Creative Dies tag die to cut her out and allowed her balloon to extend beyond the die.

My papers are from the Authentique Glamour paper pack. I've added a ribbon to match the shape of the banner across the card and then added a bow in the same ribbon. I've also added 4 Echo Park enamel dots.

We have our usual super prize up for grabs this week! You can win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product (it could be the black and white digi, the pre-coloured image or the digital paper), or 3 digis of your choice, if you've used another brand. You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

Over to you now!

Thanks for popping in for a look!

WHITE WEDDING

I'm not terribly thrilled with the photographs of this card. It was an urgent make for someone heading overseas for a wedding, (back when we could travel overseas) and my lighting was terrible.

My papers for this wedding card came from the DCWV French Whites pack. I have distressed the edges and mounted the smaller one onto puffy pads. There are 2 strips of tulle between the 2 paper layers.

I've use 2 Prima resin hearts, a wide ribbon and a strip of heart lace. My flowers are 49 and Market and Green Tara. The Congratulations was cut using an Impression Obsession die.

Thanks for popping in for a look!

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS CHALLENGE #545: A CELEBRATION

Good Morning Promarker lovers!

Our lovely Karen has chosen your theme this week. She's looking for

A CELEBRATION

We have a fabulous prize up for grabs this week!

are offering 3 digi images to our lucky winner.

I have used Stanley - Happy Days on my card.

I used the following Promarkers to colour this image:

Brown: Caramel; Dusky Pink; Satin

Pink: Dusky Rose; Cocktail Pink; Pale Pink

Green: Mint Green; Pastel Green; Tea Green

Centre label: Satin - I intend to add the initials of the couple receiving the card, when I know who will get it.

Teddy nose: Cool Greys 4 & 5

This theme immediately brought to mind this wonderful Celebrate die from Creative Expressions. I have used it before, but always extended it beyond the borders of the card. This time I wanted a contrast inside the borders of the card.

My papers are from the Stamperia Little Girl paper pack. I've inked all edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, and added KaiserCraft pearls. The paper has such pretty details, so I didn't want to add any more, that could cover it up.

Time to show off what you're celebrating this week! It's a great opportunity to win this fabulous prize from our sponsor!

Thanks for popping in to see mine.

MORGAN'S ARTWORLD JUNE CHALLENGE: ANYTHING GOES

Goor Morning fellow crafters! June is here and I am loving Winter! Our new challenge has kicked off on the blog, and we're showcasing a beautiful set of images this month!

I have used Kitten and Dragonfly on this card. I am a kitty lover, so I obviously adore this image.

I have coloured the image with markers and then cut it out with a blade.

With the image being so detailed, I wanted to keep the background card as simple as possible. I've chosen 3 papers from the Simple Stories Wood & Gingham Basics paper pack. I've added 49 and Market flowers and 3 little KaiserCraft pearls. The gorgeous strip across the middle is actually a repurposed band from a jar holding a candle.

The team have more beautiful creations to show you, so visit the challenge blog to have a look.

You can head directly to the Morgan's ArtWorld store here:

Or pop over to our FaceBook group, where we share all our Morgan's ArtWorld creations. We'd love to see yours there too!

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS CHALLENGE #28: ANYTHING GOES

Good Morning fellow crafters!

It's June, one of my favourite months of the year, and we have a new challenge on the go at Digi Doodle Studios. Our theme this month is:

ANYTHING GOES!

I've made a simple easel card using Taylor's New Job. I decided to make a slight change to the image, so I could head in a crafty direction, rather than an office direction. The image comes with 'Boss Lady' on the desk sign, and I changed that to 'Creative Genius' instead.

I've coloured the image with markers and used a Tim Holtz stencil and distress inks to make the wall behind her.

My papers for this card came from the Stamperia Little Boy paper pack.

Now, the frustration making this card came with the lack of embellishments aimed at a crafty/cardmaking/scrapbooking recipient. How is it that you can find stickers, buttons, brads, charms and miniatures for every other theme imaginable, but a card maker can't find a single embellishment for a card for a fellow card maker??? It's ridiculous!

The best I could find was a Simple Stories paper pack with a sticker sheet, called Hey Crafty Girl! I've used the two pink sentiment stickers from that sticker sheet.

I then had to add little embellishments I would use on any other card - a few little charms from my stash, Papermania little buttons, Doodlebug Design little heart stickers, Queen & Co glitter dots, and Jenni B flowers. I then twirled a ribbon across the bottom.

For the inside/base of the easel card, I used a Spellbinders die to create the panel for writing on, and a Paper Rose die for the sentiment anchor. The fabulous sentiment is an Art Impressions rubber stamp.
