MOJO Monday 381 - Warm Winter Wishes

Having more fun again and this time joining a few challenges with this card using this cute MOJO Monday 381 sketch designed by Teresa Kline and photo inspiration of the Curtain Call - Soft Scarf. Plus Sugar Pea Designs is celebrating their 1st Birthday celebration and wanted to join the fun in celebrating.

Here is my card:

I did switch the MOJO Monday sketch upside down as you can see by having the strip across at the bottom verses at the top, but I suppose that's obvious enough. Than I saw the Curtain Call Challenge with these adorable colors and thought of winter and Bo Bunny's Altitude Collection of papers I had.

Than I saw the Sugar Pea Designs was celebrating their 1st. Birthday celebration and after viewing the wonderful blog hop, it inspired me to pull out this cute set called: Have an Ice Day and come up with this Birthday Card.

Here is the inside of the card where I kept it simple with the sentiment using Rich Razzleberry ink and stamped this cute penguin again using Memento black ink since I wasn't sure if I was going to color the inside or not.

Lots of fun stuff on this card and it gave me a chance to play with these cute papers from the 

Bo Bunny Altitude Collection and once again play with my Copic Markers, but better yet, pulled out this cute stamp set that I've been wanting to color in and use some Never Before Used Stuff as part of my goal this year.

Used some Sno Cone ink to add a sky background using my sponge dauber and added some snowflakes using the Simon Says die called Abby and silver glitter enamel dots to add some sparkle to finish the card off. Foam Mount was used under this big circle to add some dimension. 

Again, don't forget to stop over at the challenge sites and see all the wonderful inspiration.

Here is my card:

The Diva Dare challenge this month is to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card.

To continue on the inside, I stamped the flower using Daffodil Delight and than used the Island Indigo for the sentiment on top. The key with any challenge is to have fun, so make sure to stop over at the Curtain Call challenge and the Diva Dare if you haven't yet.

SPDSS05 & Curtain Call- Thanks A Bunch

So happy to get some crafting time in and wanted to use one of my new stamps from the Sugar Pea Designs called: Love You Bunches and join in the challenge over at the Curtain Call with this cute inspiration photo. Here I used the sketch from the challenge SPDSS05 over at the Sugar Pea Designs.

Here is my card

I used one of my favorite papers called: Chantilly and went on to color this cute little girl for a Thank-you card for my niece along with some of my favorite dies from MFT using the inspiration photo for colors.

This was so much fun coloring and I used my prisma pencils to add some more details with her hair and cheeks. With the inspiration photo, I decided to create a flower using the Hybird Heirloom Rose from MFT and used stampin dimensionals to pop her up.  

Here are the markers I used:

Hair - FS4, TN9, TN7 

Skin - FS2, FS4, FS7, CR3

VLVApril2014 & Curtain Call - Welcome Little One

Saw this fun sketch over at Viva La Verve, week2 and thought it would be perfect to create a little baby card and also join the Curtain Call - Confetti Crush which I've been wanting to do and saw I still have some time to join the fun.

Here is my card below:

I needed to create a baby girl welcome card and since I had the stamp set: To The Moon (Verve) out on my desk, I thought perfect!! Now looking at it, it could be for a little girl or boy with the colors. Also, my idea was to only use the Crumb Cake and Pink color scheme, but I just couldn't resist but to add in some more color.

Sequins seem to be in a trend right now and when I saw the challenge of Confetti Crush over at the Curtain Call Challenge, I knew I had do use some of my pastel sequins mix (Verve) for this card. Plus got inspiration from the cute photo and incorporated polka dots using the Seeing Dots embossing folder and the DSP paper stack - Subtles (SU).

Here are the markers I used:

Giraffe - CT2, CT3, CT4, TN7
