Squigglefly - Living on the Edge

Squigglefly challenge #82 is to have some edges to your creation. I used the Fiskars Border Punch and punched out the front of the card. I used the Squigglefly image Singing in Rain. I had seen Dawn McVey use this pink and orange combo a few times and wanted to try it out. It looks much more pink than I would have liked, but still..

Stamp - Squigglefly Digi - Singing in Rain
Paper - PTI White and Raspberry Fizz CS, My Minds Eye Patterned paper

Moxie Fab World - Signs of Peace Challenge

Moxie Fab World - Signs of Peace challenge was to use the Peace Symbol creatively in your project. I am not sure if my card is very creative...I have to say it was fun creating it.

I used this Groovy Gus (Turtle) image from Squigglefly and the sassy gal patterned papers from MyGrafico. Somehow the coloring on the turtle is not my best. The colors bled a little..but oh well. I really like this image because the peace image is part of Sun or Sun looks like peace image :) It is good either ways.

I used the card patterns sketch #74 for this card.



I decorated the inside of the card with another image from Squigglefly. I had fun making this card.



Here is the sketch,

Stamp - Groovy Gus and Peace Love Groovy digi Images from Squigglefly

Squigglefly challenge #58 - Beautiful Blooms

Squigglefly Challenge #58 - Beautiful Blooms. I have so many cool Squigglefly Digi's with flowers that I had to play along with this challenge. I used the Pretty Window Box image for this card. I love the clean lines of this image.



I printed the image, colored it with copics and then cut it out. I then just layered it on top of some BG Patterned paper and added some brown ribbon. I used the FTL100 Sketch from clean and simple blog for this card. I really liked how this card turned out and will probably used this layout again.

I wanted to try out some new Digital Stamps :) to use with Copic Markers. That is how I found out about Squigglefly. They have some real neat images. I bought this image April Showers from them and it was so much fun coloring with copics. There were minor mishaps with ink smearing....but overall...it was fun.

Holiday Cards

I wanted to share some Holiday cards that I have been working on. So, sorry in advance for the long post :)

1) I found this real cute ginger bread man stamp in Michael's dollar stamp bin. I had not bought PTI's Holiday Button bits stamp set but have been ogling all the neat cards made from that set and this stamp reminded of the gingerbread man from that set. So here is my card from that stamp,



It is not as cute as the image from PTI Set, but still was a fun card to make.

Supplies:
Stamp - Generic Gingerbread Man stamp
Paper - Fa La La Collection from Making Memories, Generic Card Stock Base, GKD Pure Luxury 120lb White CS, PTI Smokey Gray CS
Ink - Memento Brown
Other - Generic Golden Satin Ribbon, Nestabilities, Buttons

2) This is the card that I did for the Squigglefly Monday Sketch Challenge. They have a new challenge on their blog every Monday. I also used another Digital stamp from Squigglefly. This is their latest release - Mr. Snowman. There are some wonderful samples out there with this stamp. I kept my card pretty simple.



Here is the sketch,


Supplies:
Stamp - Mr.Snowman - Digital Image from Squigglefly
Paper - Fa La La Collection from Making Memories, GKD Pure Luxury 120lb CS, GKD Metallic Gold Paper, Generic Card Base

3) The last card I am sharing uses a stamp image from Gina K Designs StampTV Kit - Holiday Cheer and it also uses a technique called Split Negative - showcased by Gina on StampTV. Here is a link to the video that has the tutorial for this technique. Mine of course has not come out as Gina has showed..but I am quite happy with the outcome considering this is the first time I am doing it.



I used the bow easy (sold at Gina K Designs) to create this beautiful double looped bow. I cannot tell you how easy it was and how professional and neat it looks. This is one of the best purchases I have made. Gina also has a tutorial on how to use the bow easy on stamptv.

Supplies:
Stamp - GKD Holiday Cheer StampTV Kit
Paper - GKD Black, GKD Metallic Gold CS, Martha Stewart Christmas DP, Generic Card Base
Ink - Versamark
