Ribbon Weave A Happy Birthday, Twinchie Style!

Remember that ribbon weaved twinchie I made for Technique Tuesday, using ribbon scraps, at Shelly's Images, earlier this week? I promised to show you a card that I made using the twinchie, and today is the day.

I've used the sketches from Happileigh Scrappin' and at Priscilla's Styles. for my card layout. The Happy Birthday and Make A Wish graphic sentiments are from Shelly's Images. Shelly gave these away earlier in the year, as freebie, for her big First Birthday Celebration. I used Promarkers to color in the balloons and cupcake, and add color to the text. The twinchie in the center is made with ribbon weaving using two patterned ribbons from my stash. (See above, for link to the tutorial on how to make your own ribbon weaved twinchie). The flowers are from recollections. Punched greenery made with a punch by Martha Stewart. I've used foam mounting tape to attach the sentiments, for dimension and 3D effect. These pretty pastel papers are also from my stash.

My First CDAC Swap Card

Another new card to show you today.

I made this card for my first swap at CDAC. The challenge was a Birthday card challenge, sponsored by Shelly's Images. Now that all the cards were swapped and mailed back, before I'm able to show you a pic.

I chose to go with a male birthday card, since those are something that people usually need more of. I used the Here's Looking At You image, by Shelly's Images, and is colored with Promarkers. The birthday patterned papers are from my stash. The border is punched with a border punch by Fiskars. The sentiments, "another year," and "another birthday" are punched using the word window and modern label punches by Stampin Up.
The inside says: "And You're Still Looking Good!" I attached the image and sentiments with foam mounting tape for 3D effect and dimension.

Thank you to all the ladies who participated in this swap and sharing their beautiful work!!

Dude Time

Here we are, with a new challenge for you at Craft Your Passion! This week, our theme is to make a male card. Not easy for some of us, but an easy challenge for some of you! I hope you'll play along with us this week!! You could win some great prizes!

Oh, and of course, we have a fabulous sponsor for you this week! This week it is Dude Time Doodles (Bonniebleux Designs)! Bonnie generously gave the DT some of her awesome images to work with, and she is offering $10 in digi images from her store, to one lucky winner! You don't want to miss out on your chance at this fabulous prize!


For my card, I am using this hilarious image, Jose Hosed, by Dude Time Doodles (Bonniebleux Designs). As soon as I seen him, I just had to have him! He cracks me up! I knew, instantly, the sentiment I was going to use with him!

The papers are all from my stash. I tried to go with male type colors, so I chose a mix of browns, blues and greens. Of course, I had to throw a little twist on it, with the addition of the brown polka dots. Who says Polka Dots can't be for men?! Mr Jose Hosed is using his hose to spray off his porch. He is colored with Promarkers. I typed up the sentiment, It's not the size of your Hose, it's how you use it," on the computer and then punched it out with a scalloped oval punch by Marvey. I used a cinnamon brown ink to go around the edges of the sentiment. The sentiment is attached, using foam mounting tape for added dimension.

Pink And Whimsy at Craft Your Passion

Today, we have a new challenge for your creating pleasure, at Craft Your Passion! We thought it would be fun to have a color challenge, this time. This week, we want to see you use the color pink on your project. The more pink, the better! Now, get out that pink ink and come play with us. You could win some great prizes!

Our sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps. They are offering the winner, this week, some fantastic digi images. On top of the fabulous prize, the folks at Whimsy Stamps were kind enough to give our DT three fantastic images to work with, from 3 different digi artists. (Crissy, Katie and Melissa).

My Whimsy Stamps image, today,is called Maya Blowing Bubbles, and is from digi Artist Crissy Armstrong. This little beauty is colored with Promarkers. For my card layout, I've used the sketch at Crafting Life's Pieces. I punched a large circle and then used my Crop-0-dile Big Bite to punch holes in it, then threaded pink ribbon through the holes. The heart is made with a punch by Marvy. The adhesive pearls are from my stash. I've used my Cuttlebug to emboss the white panel for the card base. The digi papers are from Floppy Latte Designs.

Boys And Their Toys

Are you all ready for Monday?! It's another Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images! Today's featured image is Conductor. You gotta love this sweet little boy and his train! This sweet image is on sale, today only, for a special price, in in the Shelly's Images store. While you're there, check out her other fabulous images, too! There are so many awesome things to choose from!

Of course, I had to go with a male card, for this image. The image, Conductor, is colored with Promarkers. I went pattern crazy on this one, with a mix of stripes and polka dots.. Then, I couldn't resist adding this houndstooth patterned paper. It reminds me of my grandma. She had a houndstooth patterned coat when I was a little girl. (Back then, I hated that coat! LOL) I used a corner punch by EK Success to punch the corners. The sheer brown ribbon is from my stash. The recycled buttons are from an old shirt that I threw away when I did some cleaning of the closets.
