DT Post Challenge # 55 - Anything Goes

Hello and welcome back to another CWLC Challenge.  This week it's ANYTHING GOES!  So that can't be to hard for you to come on over and join in the fun, right??  Our sponsor this time around is Digi Darla,  they one of my favorite companies too.  I picked this relaxing digi called "Beach and a book".  I made a card base from the spellbinders die (grand ovals)  and also used it for cutting out the image on.  Colored the image with Copics, ran it through my Grand Cali bur and before taking the die off image I sponged on some Desert Sand ink from Momento.  Attached image with glue runner and added 3-d dimensionals to top and bottom.  And of course you all know I have to have some Bling somewhere on my cards..........So here is the finished card.

Until next time,

DT Post - CWLC Blog Challenge #54 - Something Sweet

Howdy and Happy Monday everyone.  Thanks for stopping by today to see my newest DT Post for CWLC Blog.  This week's theme is "Something Sweet" and our sponsor this week is Limited Runs.  The image I used from them is called Cinnamon Swirl. I decided to print the digi on the larger side and make it the actual card. Colored the straw and cup with Copics then added some blue and red Stickles to the topping.  Then I made a small tan bow from ribbon and added to cup with glue dot.  The inside says "Have a sweet birthday".
This one has been mailed off to a sweet male friend in a card group I'm in, who  makes awesome cards, for his Birthday.  I think he will like it, at least I hope so.  Now here's the card:

I hope you decided to join us this week for this fun, fun challenge and for a chance at a great prize.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.  Now pop over to the CWLC Blog for some more sweet inspiration from my other team mates. 

Until Next Time
Have a Sweet Day.......

Washi Tape Cards

Hello there crafty friends.  I have 2 cards to share with you all, that I made with WASHI TAPE.  Now I have a whole basket of these rolls of tape, but do I use them enough, NO.  Is it just me or do you all have things you just plain get and forget about.... why is that??  Well any way I need a couple more Thank you cards so I pulled out that basket of washi tape and here is what I came up with.  The green and red card is for Card Camp an Online group I'm in and our challenge this week was to make a card (not a xmas card) using traditional christmas red and green with a touch of gold or silver. And here they are........

DT Post Challenge #53 - Back to School

Hi there all you crafty peeps in blog land!  It's me, Chris, back again with another DT challenge card for CWLC Blog.  Challenge #53 is "Back to School" and our sponsor this week is Cedar Chest Designs.  This cute little girl image I used is named "Shy Alice".  Don't forget to pop on over to the Created With Love Challenge Blog to see all the fun things my design team mates have come up with to inspire you to play along.  

This was a fairly easy card to make, just colored the digi image with copics.  Glued some scrap polka dot paper to bottom of Kraft card base and then added some school type dimensional stickers from Recollections and the digi too.  And as you all know I have a very hard time not using bling, sooo had to add some lite pink pearl swirls. I also added some faux stitching around card edges with red copic marker.  And there you have it a back to school card.  This one will be going to a dear friend, Laura, who is a elementary school teacher along with a baggy full of box tops for the school to send in........Hope you feel inspired enough to join in the challenge this week. 

Thanks for stopping by today and viewing my cards.


Until next time,
 Keep Crafting

OK, now here's my card for the Hop!  The image is from Ginger Loft and it's appropriately called Musical Clown.  Printed and colored digi with colored pencils.  Embossed the back ground on plain red paper with a Cuttle bug folder. Edged the white card base with red Marvy ink pad.  Glued musical background and digi image down with glue stick.  Then I added the music note sticker and black bling, all from recollections.

Made me think of someone singing Happy Anniversary...........

Birthday Card for a friend

Morning all.  Made a quick card yesterday for sweet dear friend's birthday, she loved it.... I used a pocket template from another dear friend, Deloris, in my card group and printed it on Denim look paper added some faux stitching and glued to card base, cut small denim square and stamped Happy Birthday with some more stitching and glued in place.  Then glued the flowers and feathers as if popping out of the pocket.  And of course some bling on the pocket and card corners.  Touched up the card edges with blue Marvy ink pad. There you have it......

 Afraid that's all I have for today. off to do a bit of house stuff I have neglected, YUK house work, but someone has to do it right!  Thanks for popping by have a great day.

Until next time,

DT Post for Challenge #51 - All About Dogs

Hello everyone.  Soo this week's DT post and Challenge over at CWLC Blog is "For dogs".  Your creations need to have something to do with dogs. Our wonderful sponsor this week is Stamp N Doodle.  And the digi image I used from them is called "A dogs work is never done."   I colored the image of the mice and dog with colored pencils and then backed with some bazzill paper to match then attached this onto a white card base.  Made the sentiment with a Spellbinders tag and used yellow chalk to highlight a bit around the words. attached with foam dots then I sprayed a very light layer of pearl shimmer mist all over card front.  After it dried I put on the cute summer beach accessories with foam dots.  And that's it all done.  Hope you like it and hope your staying cool where ever you are today.   Hope to see your creations over on the challenge site.

Have great Monday.

Unitl next time,
 Stay Cool......

Summer Birthday Card

Happy Monday all.  Just popping in to share a card I made for a friend in a card group I belong to.  I am unsure where I got this digi from.  I know a card making friend sent it to me but when I filed it it away a managed to forget to mark who sent it and where it was from. Sorry.  I do love this cute cat though....

 

I am entering this card in a few challenges too.
