K Andrew Designs Preview Week Day 2

Hi again.  Are you excited for todays project, if not you should be.  I went completely out of the box with this card.  You think of Winged Things, and it is butterflies and bees, but I wanted to do something different.  A friend of my husband's is in Afghanistan, and we are making him a care package.  I wanted to send him a special card. 

I used all scraps for this card, the image is from MelJen's Designs, and I used Eye-lets Etc eye-lets on the card.  All the stamps are from Winged Things I just had to mask the word "the" because in the set the stamps says "are the".   I cut the image out and then ran it through my sticker maker so it would stay on the card.

I am  also going to enter this into the MelJen's designs Anything Goes Challenge.  I will see you tomorrow for the Link up with Love and project number 3.

K Andrew Designs Preview Week Day 1

Hi!
I am super excited about this weeks projects. We had a challenge in the Getting Cricky Design Team to pick one set of stamps and use it all week for projects.  Just to see how many different ideas we could come up with. Friday's project will be a Valentine's project, and everyone has such fabulous things to share this week.

Without further delay...
I chose the set Winged Things. 

 

Here is the project I made.  The red cardstock, and striped paper is from Eye-lets Etc, and so are the heart eye-lets.    I embossed the red background paper and then added a little stickles for some glitter.  The hearts are chipboard from Maya Road.  I painted the red and the pink kinda splattered and I decided I liked that look.  I glued them together and added some liquid pearls on the hearts.

I am loving the versatility of the set.  I can't wait til you see my other projects. :)  This is also my entry for the Simply Sunday Challenge.

Have a fabulous day!!

Fishing Tom Cat

Hi!

I loved working on this challenge.  MelJen's Designs had a challenge to use stars.  I thought it was a fun challenge.  The love this kitty fishing I think he is so cute, he minds me of the old tom cats from Tom and Jerry :)

I colored him with colored pencils and then blended with odorless mineral spirits.  I picked all striped paper in orange, green and blue.  I wound around the card with my homemade twine.  The stars were cut from a die at Archivers.  I added some stitching with some pens, added some bling to the stars, and then stamped Thanks on it with purple ink.  The thanks is from K Andrew Designs Winged Things set.

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge "Its a celebration"

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge. This really was a challenge for me. We had to make a card for a celebration. I couldn't figure out what to do for it, but as soon as I saw my new stamps, I realized this is what I wanted to do.

I used yellow sparkly cardstock to cover the frame. Then scraps to punch the purple and green scalloped circles. I stamped the sentiment, frame and butterflies in purple ink.  I used the set K Andrew Designs set Winged Things.

 I glittered the butterflies and frame in clear stickles, then used gold stickles to dot in the scalloped circle, and finally I used silver stickles to dash the inside and outside of the frame.
