DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #125


THEME: 
Thank you for the Music (you have two choices thank you or music, or add the two)

For the base I used American crafts Black and white, The designer paper on top and inside the piano is Basic Grey,"lime ricky" the sheet music is from PTI "holiday prints" 

 .

I made this at Christmas for the worship pastor at our church, He was moving from being the worship pastor to being the Pastor of Care. He started this week with the new position, so I gave it to him on Tuesday.  You will never guess who got a hold of it during the holidays before I gave it away. I think Hope thought it was hers.

Fits her pretty good, Don't you think?
Don't you just love how  this opens ?  It is a gift box and a nice size for a gift card or more.

Hi Friends,
Everyone loves Hello Kitty Right?

So I thought I would make a couple of HK cards and make them look totally different from the same image- I challenged my self.

The first one I made was a birthday card for my grandniece and the second was for Valentines day -  not for anyone in particular - I may just put this one in my ETSY store.

For the top one I used copic markers to color the patterned paper balloons to make them look different. The background paper is lavender moon dots.


challenges
MY CRAFT SPOT

I finished off the inside with   a stamped image from some of my old stamps (sorry I can't remember which brand. either stampendous or inkadinkadoo)

For my second card I used Carte Bella devoted  I just love this paper. The base is kraft card stock with a layer of burgundy Bazzill under the patterned background paper. The be mine sentiment is from My Creative time 100% sweetness. Did it ever stamp great, even on textured card stock. I added the striped twine to three of the balloons for some added texture

Happy Monday Everyone,


I think I got some of the bugs worked out of my computer. I am able to comment on some of the blogs that I could not before.

For my Monday card-
I used PTI "happiness in bloom" stamp set and die along with "ruby reprise", for the ribbon I used Tim Holtz Lavish- I have had this for awhile, but could not think of what to use it on, I think it really dressed this card up  for my inks I used Classic Kraft and dark chocolate, and winter wisteria.  The card stock is vanilla cream, classic kraft and lavender moon. I used a punch for the window and topped the flower  off with viva pearl pen.

I bought this stampendous sentiment stamp awhile ago and decided I better pull it out and make a card. Isn't it adorable I have not used CAC in a long time and it should fit a few challenges.

I hope you like it.I got the paper in MI., while I was there, it was someones birthday and I had to make them a card. I think I got this paper at Walmart when my BFF and I did our midnight run.  The stamp on the dotted paper looks out of focus, but it isn't-- I don't think I will stamp on dotted paper again.

I got a chance to get another card made, this mojo sketch was fun to work with I took artistic license and changed the circle to a heart, because of the season.


I used a mix of companies  products the card base and the heart are PTI basic white. The silver scalloped heart is DCWV. The Black and white patterned paper is from studio calico darling dear collection

Here is the mojo sketch I used-- Love IT!!!

 For my pink I used Jenni Bowlin "chewing gum" ink and pink petal liquid pearls

The stamp set is from Docerela creations.

Good Morning Friends,

I am thick into getting ahead of spring "Get rid of stuff in the house", I am not even to the cleaning part yet, I thought I would take a break and make a card. If I get  through this purging quickly, I may make another card later. I hope you like this. I just got these dies this past week, Funky florals, Frame, and  the envelope die.  My card stock is from PTI vanilla cream, basic white, classic Kraft, lavender moon print. The stamp set is "ruby reprise", it was a freebie if you spent a certain amount of money. The embossing folder is Sizzix, but I threw the packaging out so I have no idea what it is called, but with the flowers it looks "Spring" My ink is Jenni Bowlin and PTI Classic Kraft. Faux stitching is from a white Sakura gel pen.

Have a blessed Saturday, Diana

Hi Friends,

It seems like forever, since I have been able to get a BBTB2 challenge done on a Monday.  I would have had it done sooner, but I lost the X-ray. Then I found it. It was on the bottom of my foot -- so I made another one, just FYI.
I hope you are having a great day, I am trying to get organized today-- huh, funny, it always looks worse when you pull everything out until you put it all back together.  My goal is to get it all back together by Sunday, well not all, but I will have  a handle on it.

Here is my fun card. I just love Teddy bear parade (cricut cart). I think this is only the second or third card I have made from this cart. I actually made a bunch of naked bears so they are just waiting to be dressed, which made my card come together pretty easily. The sentiment is from My Creative Time, chunky jar accessories, the DP is from Crate paper.

I gently put the mask on that way if anyone wants to see the bears face it is easy to remove.

Good Morning friends,


Here is a valentine card using  PTI base card stock and the gingham DP is also PTI. The die cut hearts and stamps are from MCT I used Creative inspirations regal red resplendence and angel dust for the glitter

  Here is a close up of the heart. If I make this card again, I will not add the angel dust, because it looks like the red did not stick in the picture, but in person you can see the glitter. I love the little tic tac toe board stamp.

Here is my question for you. Do you have any Valentine traditions- (PG answers only).
I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful day.

Diana

I needed another birthday card.  I went with the generational stamping again in the three tones. The birthday and girl are from "Beautiful Blooms"----and the flower and leaves are from "Embroidered Blooms"--- I used purple stickles for the center of the flowers. I used the viva pearl pen on top of the BG purple paper. My card base is PTI vanilla cream

The inks are Jenni Bowlin and PTI

Hi Friends,


I kept making cards and projects for the Die Cuttin' Divas only to realize I kept forgetting one of the elements. One time I forgot the old, another time the new, the next time the die cut, Now I got it just right I would call this Goldy locks.

I love this tag I have had the sweet sentiments pad for a couple of weeks ( which I consider new) and I just had to use it.

I punched out 4 different size circles and turned them into hearts I used flowers that I have had for a while from my friend Karen. I used viva pearl pen (gold) and liquid pearl (pink). The keys and the butterfly are from my new MCT die cut, "chunky jar accessories", I used a sheet of free bird paper that I have had for a year or more. The ribbon is from my stash and the crochet thread is antique, which was left to me by my aunt that passed away 7 years ago.  I also used TH distressed ink in antique linen on the banner sentiment and the angels

I am loving the viva pearl pen , check it out for yourself  and let me know what you think. Do you think the pearl pen or the liquid pearls look more realistic? The pearls on the mini valentine cards that were posted just before this post -- Click Here-- were made with liquid pearls. The pearls on this card were made with the viva pearl pen.

I used vintage cream PTI card stock and the patterned papers are Basic Grey Plumeria the twine is Lilac from the Twinery. I used glossy accent to hold it in place. The stamp set is up up and away PTI and the inks are PTI and Jenni Bowlin

These balloons are meant to be out of focus, I am still experimenting with the generational stamping.

I just love these colors

Hi Friends, 

Welcome to second week of  the  first  DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge of 2014.  We are off to a good start this year I have really enjoyed seeing all the fun projects that have been entered into the Linky party and the Thankful Thursday  challenges. Here is a new challenge for you, I hope you will have fun.



DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #124


THEME: 

Heart, Hearts, Valentine's day, love etc. 

The challenge will be open until 11:55 PST  January 21, 2014.


I made a set of 4 valentines cards

.

Don't you just love these cute little cards? The heart guy and gal are from the Cricut Imagine cartridge "Enjoy the seasons and so are the DP.  I think rounding the corners gave it a softer effect and adding the ribbon and the liquid pearls just pulled it all together. These cards were so fun to make.
The base is PTI kraft card stock and I added the stitching with a white gel pen

The prize: 

6x6 MME paper pad and 

creative charms flower embellishments

 AND

 Hi there Friends,

It is definitely flu season I hope all of my bloggy friends (you) are all doing well and staying healthy.
I got a bit busy this morning to try and get a post out, but in the middle or sooner I decided I am too tired to carry on for now so I will work on this and post it in the morning.

  Here is the TIP: When you put the liquid pearls on the paper, do not let go of the squeeze on the bottle and do not keep squeezing, just gently and slowly lift there will be a peak at the top. gently tap underneath the drop and it will form a perfect circle and look like a real pearl  be patient give it time and walk away. When you come back an hour or so it will be perfect.

I hope you like the card. I used  PTI lavender Moon for the card base. and  Smile stamp set from PTI. The inks are Jenni Bowlin bubble gum stick candy and seed packet and PTI classic craft.
Please let me know if this tip helped you.

Have a wonderful and blessed day, Diana

Hope your day is going well.
I got a lot of things done today, so I thought I would get my nieces 16th birthday card done ahead of time. Great timing on my part, it fits the BBTB2 challenge, to use a number. I love my imagine machine, so I looked through my cartridges and thought the colors in BLAST OFF were very cheery and perfect for a 16 year old.

The BIG 16

Don't you just love those pearls

The number and the pattern paper are all from that cart I used foam tape to pop it up, the ribbon was a gift from my friend Karen at Little Scrap pieces and the pearls are liquid-white opal.
I will make another one of these to have in my ETSY store.
