September With The Creative Crafters

  The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made Snowman Card as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I made a simple house with this die set.  I looked at one of the dies and wondered what it was for until I actually die-cut it.  See those lovely curtains.  I didn't realize the thin die was for two curtains.  I used a manilla folder for the creamy house and curtains and changed the colors of the door, roof and curtains by adding E11 Copic marker to the manilla folder die cuts.  Raising the sentiment with double sided foam made the sentiment a great stopper for the house. 

Supplies:
Poppy Stamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set

Brass & Bliss Christmas Christmas Inchies stamps  - sentiment from set
Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss - Red Berry - red dot on door for door handle

Copic marker E11
Vagabond die cut machine

Card Chain Challenge Reveal for August

It's time for a new challenge from Card Chain Challenge 

I chose Stenciling and used a new die set and stencils at the same time. I didn't use the entire stencil on the book.  I wanted to see if I liked it and I think I'll be making more of these.  The Drips and Splatters were certainly fun to add.  I used a manilla folder as I didn't want a "white" book.  I do like how this turned out.  Something different and new.  

Supplies:

Waffle Flower Open Book Poinsettia stencil
Waffle Flower Open Book Die
Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments Combo
Waffle Flower Hello Friend Sentiments 
Waffle Flower Hello Friend Matching Die 
Waffle Flower Shader Brush 1+Double-ended Rainbow pack

Anything Goes with Birch Press Design in September

You're Going To Love This Challenge at Die Cut Divas!
Yes!  Anything Goes.  I have an extra project to show you!  (TAGS)

If you've never visited Birch Press Design, you should. I have found some unique designs that you won't find elsewhere.  I have used the "String" background often and I thought it would create a beautiful background for this flower.  You know I love my Copic markers, but none were used on this card.  However Distress Oxides were.  I haven't had my Squeezed Lemonade very long, but have used it quite a lot. I don't know why I was drawn to yellow and brown, but I do like the way this turned out.

The Die Cut Divas' sponsor will be giving away a $20 gift card to the winner of the challenge.  Our sponsor will be giving away a $20 gift card to the winner of our challenge.  *Note: Challenge winner must have US address.

Altenew Has A Little Bit of Everything

It's Fun Time with Altenew in August

 The Challenge at Die Cut Divas ends today at 9:00 p.m. Pacific time. The challenge this month is to make a Z Card.  

I again made a "Z" card by simply folding the front of my card in half.  I don't know why I chose this cross-word pattern card to work with.  I was only looking for a card that would have some kind of pattern on it.  I turned the card inside out and said, "that's what I'm going to use".  Why?  It was just whimsy, I guess.

Combining mail with snowmen is again something out of a dream or nightmare.  It's just how you look at it.  I do think its funny to see snowmen on mailboxes.

Card opened up to show the Z fold.

Supplies:
Altenew Dynamic Duo: Snowy Delight Add on die set (includes sentiments)
Altenew Postal Heroes die set (no longer on Altenew web site)

Copic markers
