Plus the incredible designs by the team! 

Hey I'm back!!!  CYCI has a great color challenge and

DTM Terri Takashige selected this weeks colors. 

Here's my card for the challenge

I started with the Be The Best stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. The Dragonfly and sentiment were perfect for this weeks challenge! I used the water color paints I picked up from Walmart :)  Of course I've got some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Butter and Ocean on my card today!!!

Keeping it short and sweet this week... Take care

Until next time

Red and Kraft Challenge USC

Okay... so I was thinking tag.... so ta da!!!
My tag is made from a Ranger kraft tag and a Jillibean Soup acetate tag.
I used the KOM from January for my sentiment and stamped image, which is the heart of butterflies!
I layered on Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Gold, and Ranger texture paste mixed with Red ink.
I added a simple piece of thread in a neutral color!
I used my heat tool to dry the color and create waves in the tag.

Up next is my card... cause I had to make a card! It's what I do...

I started with my Craftin Desert Divas Fancy Frames die set, and lots of Heidi Swapp Color Shine Gold, and lots of red ink from a reInker.  I used the same butterfly heart stamp from the January KOM from Unity for the image and another sentiment from the kit!!!
I decided to go on an angle for the positioning of the sentiment and ran it back through the big shot with the die. 

You can check out the awesomeness of mine and other cards/projects by joining their fb page

An InLinkz Link-up

CYCI#107 A Color Challenge

Elizabeth picked the colors for this week! They are epic!!!

I love this kraft paper... which is from the small craft dept at my local Walmart... of all places. But it was affordable, and I needed some. It's actually every nice to stamp on and held up very well to the splatter of white that I added using Mister Huey's. 

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a smart ass! This design shows that fun side of me.
The first thing the hubby did after seeing it was to give me a funny look, which is awesome!
I've got lots of little bits in my design which made it perfectly perfect in every way (Mary Poppins).

Craftin Desert Divas fancy frame dies and Pixie Dust Sequins

Hugs Die from Simon Says Stamp

Little B White Corrugated tape cut with Sizzix circle dies

American Crafts neutral thread double bow

My cardstock for the hugs die is called Grape Jelly, from MFT Stamps. My stamped sentiment "you're the SHIT" is from Unity Stamp Co. and under my kraft paper layer I used fun foam to lift up the layer to add some support and build it up, rather than leaving it flat.

I hope you will join in the fun this week at Can You Case It?

Until next time,
Eva

For my card today, I started with my stamped images. Hello Love is from Unity Stamp Co. it has three stamps to the set, and along with Stitched Circle dies from Craftin Desert Diva's I had the main area plotted out! Then I went to grab some paper to do the strips in the back, I selected Authentique Everlasting collection and Doodlebug Rainbow assortment, I chose Ruby as the color red I needed for the project today!  I used my Prismacolor pencils to color in the main image...

I've got a Simon Says Stamp Black, 120# White in my card!

The last thing I added was some Sprinkles by Doodlebug in White.

PCC Two Week Challenge!

Well now... I hope you love to play tic tac toe as much as I do...

This week at Paper Craft Crew is a two-week challenge and a little break for the design team during the holiday!

I am very much looking forward to the break to get ahead in my reading for my Human Resouces class at SNHU.  Butter and I have lots to do during the Christmas break, yesterday we had lunch at Red Robin, and it was very nice to have lunch just me and him.

On to my card! 

AS you can see I went with the Reindeer option, my stamp is from Unity Stamp Co. and my Dies are from Lawn Fawn and Crafting Desert Divas. For my paper, I used Authentique Collection; Natural.

I love the blues and greens I used on the watercolor paper tag!

I added some Droplets from Pretty Pink Posh and some thread from Michaels.

My card base is 120lbs white from Simon Says Stamp.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

PCCC174 Sketch Challenge

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our house. 

The tree is up, the presents are stacking up and the house smells of cookies.

I hope you feel blessed, like I do! 

Well now... I got some time to join the rest of the design team over at Paper Craft Crew this week!

We have a fabulous sketch for you and incredible ideas from the DT cards!

When I started this project, I wasn't happy with how things were coming along, and managed to get through several ideas, before finally coming up with this one!

Unity Stamp Co's Snowglobe Wonderland was the stamp set I used for today's card

I took the sentiment, which kind of says it all for this time of year, and the snowman which couldn't be any cuter!  I took colors from my stash from Simon Says Stamp (red & Black) and Doodlebug (green).  Along with my 120lb white cardbase.  I used a small black thread bow, and lots of Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine!

Well I've got to get back to the books, and prepare for another large paper due tomorrow!

Until next time!

CYCI#98 Tag You're It Sketch Challenge

Okay... I've got to admit... taking college courses with everything I've got going on is different! In a good way! This coming week is going to be even harder than the last week, but I am looking forward to it! Getting a good grade in the class is my goal, and moving forward and starting a career is the end game!  Thanks for all of the support from friends, family and followers! 

Hey its Sunday at that means it's time for a new challenge at CanYouCaseIt? dot com!

I did this sketch a while ago, and loved the idea of a tag on a card this time of year!

This is a super simple card to do, I started by selecting my sentiment from the November Monthly Kit from Unity Stamp Co. I love the way it pops in Stazon Black, and snowflakes from ...like a Snowflake (USC) in the background in a light blue to go with my Echo Park paper pad Hello Winter, along with matching enamel dots!

A few of the other things on here is polka dot washi, black and white thread, and some mittens from an old punch I have made again using more patterns from the Hello Winter paper pad.

I did add a piece of fun foam under my tag to help support it! The cardbase is the 120lbs white from Simon Says Stamp.

Until next time,

Eva 

CYCI#97 Be Inspired Challenge

This week we are doing something really different over at Can You Case It?

We have a holiday picture that folks will use as a guide in the challenge, instead of colors or a sketch!

I took the golds, whites and a touch of red and black for my card today!

I used Mr Huey's, Heidi Swapp and Wink of Stella for my splatter effect.
Along with the sentiment of Winter Wonderland from Unity Stamp Co. ...like a snowflake stamp set!
As you can see I've got some retired black ribbon from SU and Gold Thread that I picked up from Walmart.  For my cardstock, there's Doodlebug Red, and Simon Says Stamp 120lbs white.

Until next time
Eva

CYCI#96 A Sketch challenge

On a white  120lbs cardstock from Simon Says Stamp!

I added a few stars, in plain cardstock, which I colored using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.
