Yumi and Fumi Handmade Crafts Challenge~~Use Dies or Punches!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope your weekend is going okay so far. We have family visiting us from Oklahoma so it's been a full house, but I LOVE it! I like cooking for everyone...it's my thing! :)

I'm back today with a card for the new Yumi and Fumi Handmade Crafts Challenge, which is:

USE DIES OR PUNCHES!!

There are some changes to the challenge and posting format this year at Yumi and Fumi so be sure to read all the details HERE!! We have lots of exciting things in store for you all! :)

For my card today I used the super handsome CHASE. Isn't he so suave?!! I colored him with Copics on Neenah Cardstock.

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Eyebrows/Eyes: E43, E44

Jacket/Shoes: E34, E35, E39

Vest/Button: G21, G24, G28

Tie: G24, E39

Pants: E51, E53, E55

I found this amazing Echo Park This & That "Charming" 6x6 paper pad at Hobby Lobby. I love that they are carrying 6x6 pads now...it's been a long time coming! For my die, I used the Heart Banner from La-La Land Crafts. I also used a Martha Stewart Border Punch for the middle panel. The ribbon is from Michaels and the pearls are from Close To My Heart.

The awesome sentiment is from a set called Happy Ending from One Little Dreamer! I love her stamps!! :)

You know me and my pop-dots....I added some behind the Heart Banner and also behind Chase. The doily is from Walmart. I inked the edges of the doily with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Now, don't forget our challenge are now back to bi-weekly! Another change is that they will now end on Friday, 12:00 PM (PST) to give us time to announce the winner before the next challenge starts again. :) I hope to see you all participating.

Hugs,

Rosie :)

TGF Double Take Tuesday~~SKETCH!

 

 

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope your week started off okay. I'm telling you I'm ready for the sickness in our house to go away!! I just got over being sick and now the little one has come down with something even though I've been trying to disinfect everything. Hopefully tomorrow he's feeling better!!

Today we have an awesome Sketch for you for Double Take Tuesday at The Greeting Farm.

For my card today I used a new release called Sitting Wonderful. She comes with all sorts of goodies including a chair and sentiment. I just used her and the little magazine that's part of the set. :) She's colored with Copics on Neenah Cardstock. I just noticed a piece of white paper stuck to her hair, darn it. It's not on the card, but decided to show up for the photo shoot, LOL!

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Bow/Outfit: R81, R83, R85, YR23, YR20, YR23, Y21

Boots: R81, R83, R85:

Magazine: Same as above/Blue (B000)

I used some gorgeous and fun dps from American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray paper pad. The sentiment stamped on the ribbon is from One Little Dreamer called Happy Ending. The side pink border was made using a Martha Stewart Border punch. I used a 1 7/8" scallop punch from The Paper Studio behind the magazine. The yellow corners are made using La-La Land's Filigree Corner Die.

In the side view you can see I raised Anya and some of the other elements on pop-dots for added dimension.

I love Suzanne's Sketch and can't wait to make more cards using it! Don't forget you can play along with us for a chance at winning a prize!!

I'm already back with another post and this times it's for La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday.

Our theme for this week is:

No FLOWERS!!

Man, was this a hard one for me!! I love to add flowers to my cards!! So today, I kept it pretty clean and simple, which I kinda like! :)

Before I get to my card, don't forget all the dies and stamps from CHA are now in the LLLC Store and available for order immediately!!

I used a newly released stamp from the Valentine's Release called Saxophone Luka! Isn't he the cutest thing ever!! I colored him with Copics on Neenah Cardstock.

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11

I also used some new LLLC Dies on my card. 

They are Heart Banner Die and Fancy Bracket Die.

The light cream dp came from my stash. The red/white polka dot paper came from MelzStamps HERE. The sentiment is a new one for me from One Little Dreamer Happy Ending. I raised Luka and the banner on pop-dots for added dimension.

Hugs!
