Use a digital stamp

The newest challenge at Melonheadz Friends is...Use a digi! Digi is also short for digital stamp or digital image. 


For this card, I used some of Melonheadz cute food images found in the "Death by Chocolate" digital pack.  I colored the cupcakes to look fall festive and had to add a piece of pumpkin pie, my favorite this time of year!


 Two warm cups of hot cocoa, a sweet sentiment, glitter paper and a bow finish this card.  I plan to use it as a thank you card during the holidays.

Paper Crafting Tic Tac Toe!

The newest Challenge at Melonheadz starts today and we are playing Tic Tac Toe! 



How do you play? Glad you asked! Using the board below, make a creation using 3 items in a row. (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) My card, for example, uses Ribbon, Die Cuts and Pearls/Bling to make a diagonal row.


The owls were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and coated with Glossy Accents. I adore this "friend" word die cut from Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval 1st Edition Box!


The papers used are from My Mind's Eye 12 x 12 paper pad called Sparkling Sleigh Ride. The ribbon was a wonderful deal at 0.39 cents for an entire roll at Canton Texas Trade Days!! (It was sun bleached, but the off white color still matched my papers beautifully!)


The sentiment is from Paper Pumpkin's September Kit with StazOn ink in Saddle Brown. I used a die from Spellbinders Labels and Tags Die set and finished off with tiny half pearls from a nail art kit.

My First Christmas Card of the Season!

Today marks the start of Challenge #51 at Creative Craft Cottage! The theme = Anything Goes! With Halloween over, I'm now in full on Christmas mode!


I'm using a darling image by our sponsor: All Dressed Up
 
Sponsor

I colored this digital image using Prismacolor Pencils and a colorless blender marker. She was carefully fussy cut leaving a small white border.
 
  
I used a flower petal punch by Fiskars to create the poinsettia.  The petals were punched from glitter card stock found at Tuesday Morning and adhered with glue dots. The three leaves were punched from vellum, adhered with a single glue dot and then outlined using Stickles. The edges started to curl while drying and I just adore this unintended effect! (Love happy accidents!)


Gold Stickles make up the poinsettia center with small half pearls found in a nail art kit. This beautiful sentiment is stamped in StazOn Opaque White on vellum and the stamp is by Unity Stamps.
