Krafty Chicks Challenge #682: All Occasions

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Welcome to another great challenge week from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. All Occasions is the theme, so pretty much anything goes. Here's my card:

 

Another card I used the paper piecing technique on. It's part of a trio of cards. Here is my first one and you can see the second one here. I didn't even mind all the fussy cutting. I think this is my favourite of all.

A little close up but you can barely tell her clothes are fussy cut, even the throw pillows.

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope CAS, just a little DSP ought to do it.

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for All Occasions week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #681: CAS

 Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? Sorry I'm posting a little late. Wednesday crept up on me, Thursday got away from me, and now it's Friday so I better get it done. I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS, as in Clean And Simple. Here's my card:


 Now how cute is that?? These little critters are just die cuts from the Zany Zoo Crew DSP. Heck, I didn't even have to colour them. Just adhered them to my card. Added a sentiment and a few gems and called her done.

A little close up to show that I popped it up for interest.

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS. This time I used a few more die cuts.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #681: Christmas

Oh yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week!

This card was inspired from another card maker. Sadly I deleted the pic and cannot find them to give them proper credit. It may be hard to see but I punched out and adhered lots of bulbs to help add texture. I even die cut the letters with foam sheet to add dimension. Here's a close up.

I finished off the card with silver ribbon and lots of red gems.

 

 To keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple, I stamped more bulbs to create a string of lights. Quick and easy and done.

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for Christmas week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #680: Stamp Act

 Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

It's the first week of July. That means it's the Stamp Act challenge with the Krafty Chicks. As long as something is stamped, be it an image (digi or rubber) or a sentiment, it qualifies for the Stamp Act challenge. We also introduce a new Guest Designer for the month. So let's welcome Denise from The Crafty Den with open arms and show her some love with comments on her blog. And now here's my card:


I played around with the paper piecing technique and gave this lady a beautiful dress and what looks like a straw hat. I used a Stampin' Blend to outline the pieces and to create a bit of shadow. And now she's styling!


Even in this close up you can't tell there's a bit of dimension, the paper pieces blend in seamlessly. 

 


I kept the inside and the envelope CAS (Clean And Simple) with just a bit of DSP.

Need more inspiration for the Stamp Act challenge, hop on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog to get the details. And upload your project so that we can see what's happening in your craft space.
