Sasayaki Glitter DT reminder: ATG

Hello all!  I am here today to share with you what I made for the Sasayaki Glitter September reminder post for the current challenge:

The lighting in this photo is terrible, so I apologize for that.  I just can never seem to get it right, even with photo editing software!  But anyway, for the reminder post, which is Anything Goes, I went back to the super adorable Winter Bunnies image that I used back in March for this card.  Looking back at that card, it seems that I like to color that second bunny from the left in gray!  LOL!  I went with a red color scheme for this version of the card, and the same layout as the previous card.  I really, really love that Lawn Fawn Merry Christmas sentiment from Christmas Dreams!!  The patterned paper is also from Lawn Fawn, from the Perfectly Plaid Christmas 6x6 pad.  *love*  If I could afford to buy all the stamps and papers from Lawn Fawn, I most definitely would!  Their stuff is just so dang CUTE!!!

CCAYR Christmas Belles DT post time!

Hey all!  I am a bit behind in getting this post up, but I still wanted to share with you what I created for the CCAYR "Anything but a card" challenge:

I decided on an ornament for my non-card project, and for this one, I went waaaay back to an old technique.  I recently bought 3 packs of pretty German napkins for $.25 apiece, so I did some YouTube research, and found a few videos to go by.  I adhered the napkin to my chipboard die cut Spellbinders ornament using an adhesive sheet, smooshed Versamark ink all over it and sprinkled sticky embossing powder on top and heat set.  Then I sprinkled some DecoArt Glamour Dust glitter on top of that, and heat set it again.  This ornament is SUPER DUPER SPARKLEY!!!!  LOL!  As I always do when making these ornaments, I cut a piece of gold shiny paper for the top of the ornament, and also used the same gold paper for the top layer of the sentiment. To cover up the ugly back, I die cut a piece of sparkly white paper and glued that on.   I used my Crop-a-dile to make the hole, and then used some gold ribbon from my stash for the hanger.

Welcome to another Sasayaki Glitter Challenge! :)

Hey bloggers!  How are you doing?  I hope all is well on this Monday...TUESDAY!  That's right, it's Tuesday...having Monday off for Labor Day sure throws me off!  But it's nice to have a short week to look forward to!  ;) 

At Sasayaki Glitter, we are creating school themed cards this month, so here is the card I made:

Christmas With The Cuties---THE CUTEST SNOWMEN

Hello bloggers!  I hope you are having a good week so far, even though it's only Monday.  At least those of us in the US have a long weekend coming up to look forward to!  :)  For now, let me share with you what I made for the Christmas With The Cuties challenge:  THE CUTEST SNOWMEN.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo, and the image I have used is called Eggbert Winter.  I just LOVE Eggbert...he is so stinkin' CUTE!  He is definitely one of my favorite Bugaboo characters!  I pulled out card stock colors that matched my patterned paper, and embossed the green layer with the Provo Craft Snowflake embossing folder.  I backed each of my elements with different colors.  Eggbert is colored with alcohol markers to match.  I happened to have a couple of snowflakes in my stash that were cut from some of the same card stock colors, so I added those with some 8mm sugar dots in the centers.  The sentiment comes from Honey Bee Stamps "Merry and Joy" stamp set.  I love all the different ways you can create sentiments with this set.

Christmas Crafts All Year Round---August Mid Month Challenge Inspiration

I am behind with my post for the CCAYR August mid-month reminder; sorry about that!  Here is what I made for the hot/warm colors challenge:

I created my panel by smooshing Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink onto my craft mat, and spraying with water.  I then used a small scrap of acetate to pick up the ink and add it to my panel.  When I couldn't do that anymore, I just took the watercolor paper to the ink.  I kinda thought I had created a bloodbath at first, but I decided to plow ahead anyway.  I was much happier with it after I embossed the sentiment, which is a Stamper's Anonymous wood stamp.  I finished this off by adhering it to a red panel that is on top of a white card base, and adding some sequins.

August Sasayaki Glitter Challenge: For the Guys!

Hello bloggers!  I hope you are all doing well.  Things here in PA are rainy.  I can't believe how much rain we have gotten this summer!  On the plus side, everything is nice and green...although getting out to mow the grass is a bit difficult!

For today's post, I am here to share what I made for the current Sasayaki Glitter challenge; Male Project:

I used the Christmas Roo image for my cards.  I wanted him to be the star of the show, so I sized him accordingly, and designed the angled edge in my Silhouette program.  I colored the image using alcohol markers, and added some Spectrum Noir clear shimmer pen on the bows of the presents.  In case you are wondering, the presents are in those pinks and purples because they are for his girlfriend!  LOL
