Digi Desserts Fridaze (Feb 22)

Soda Lightful

This week's freebie digi image from Digi Desserts Fridaze is an image of this yummy chocolate milkshake.   This has got to be my favorite freebie so far!

I colored the digi using Adobe Photoshop.  I used colors from an image of a milkshake I found online and printed the digi on photo paper.  I cut out another copy of whipped cream and the cherry and pop-dotted them in three layers for dimension.  For the card, I used the Ad colors from February 20th Card Sketch Challenge

Happy 50th Birthday Joe !!!

Ok, I didn't actually wanted "50" to show up anywhere on the card.  I used SCAL to design this card.  I used the negative space where the JOE shadow was cut from to form the middle base for the actual "JOE" cut which was pop-dotted over that space.  I then used the shadow cut inside the card.  The sentiment is a stamp then penned over with a glitter gel pen

Congratulations to Sandra for passing the nursing boards

I didn't want a regular card to congratulate her with so I used SCAL to create this shaped card out of welding the letters together.  I found the image of the bear nurse online and printed it on photo paper as well as the sentiment and the "RN Sandra"

Another sympathy card

Using the same image as the previous sympathy card... I made this for another friend.  The extra credit for the sketch challenge is to use a negative cut.  I used Design Studio to align all the papers and cut out the circle for each piece including the card base.  The image and the sentiment inside were both printed on computer paper

Keeping with my New Year's Resolution of making a Christmas card once a week...

All the papers are from DCWV pre-made blank notecards that I cut up for all the pieces.  The snowflake is pop-dotted at two different layers to give it height and dimension.  Top layer was ran through my  Xyron so I could sprinkle it with glitter.  The sentiment was drawn using SCAL then I just penned over it

My Sheri Crafts #104

Time to go Fishin'!

 

Yup yup!  Something's fishy over at My Sheri Crafts ... come on over and take a look!

I found this cute image at ChildrensSite.net... they have lots of cute stuff you can print out for your little ones to color.  So that's exactly what I did using Copics and a little bit of Stickles glitter

The template is a Center Step Card and I used the guidelines from Creative Moments With Sandy 

I used papers from K&Company that I've had sitting around for a few years.  I thought the fishy background and all the bubbles were perfect for this project.  The seaweed is from Cricut cartridge: Spongebob Squarepants.  The border punch is also something I had for a while but I thought it looked like waves, so I also used it because it just looked cool :P  Oooh!  I almost forgot!  I used liquid glass on the lips to make them look nice and glossy and all ready to pucker up!


Thanks for looking!

Digi Desserts Fridaze - Guest Designer

I'm so excited to be picked as the first Guest Designer for Digi Desserts Fridaze!  I've never been a Guest Designer before.  It was so hard to choose what image to use and what type of card to make.  I ended up with a card for a little boy...

I decided to use the freebie digi image they rewarded me for linking up the first time.  I wanted to keep the card simple and clean looking and not too busy.  The image was colored using Adobe Photoshop and printed on photo paper.  I'm not sure if you can tell but the frosting was made by using a picture of a real cupcake and superimposed on the digi itself.  I used the image below for it

Thank you once more to the wonderful, talented team of Digi Desserts Fridaze for picking me as this week's Guest Designer!

This was a fun sketch to play around with.  I had made exactly two copies of this card because... well, what else are you going to do with the rest of the triangles you cut off? 

I used glitter gel pens on the rubber stamp for the sentiment... the circles had an odd effect, but I like it!

Cherries

This week's freebie digi image from Digi Desserts Fridaze is a pair of cherries.  I'm not really sure what to do with cherries so I made this simple generic card to eventually use sometime in the future

 
I printed the pre-colored version of the cherries on photo paper and used the scraps to stamp the sentiment as well.  I thought the stamp was going to rub off but it stuck on the photo paper.  How cool is that?

Justrite Friday Challenge #89

Anything Goes

This week's JustRite Friday Challenge is allowing just about anything as long as your project still has a JustRite stamp... ooops I forgot that we are also supposed to use our favorite stamp set and explain why it's our favorite.  Unfortunately, I don't own too many JustRite stamp sets to pick a favorite... at least, not yet

I decided to use one of the sketches from the weekly Card Sketch Challenge along with the Ad colors to make this simple card

The stamp is from "Whimsical Christmas" set by JustRite and the frame is from Spellbinders.  This is the first time I made rolled up flowers.  They are from Cricut cartridge: Art Philosophy .  I inked them before rolling them up then dabbed them with glitter glue. The stamp is heat embossed

Staying true to my New Year's Resolution of making a Christmas card at least once a week... here is another

Card Sketch Challenge: 1-16 (sketch 2)

I made this card a few weeks ago and I had forgotten to put this on my blog.  My daughter, Zenica, had won first place in a Martin Luther King art competition for her school and her work along with others' were to be displayed in the local museum

My older daughter, Kiara, suggested I made a card with Martin Luther King to present it to her sister after the award ceremony

I got the image of Martin Luther King from online and printed it out on photo paper and the inside is computer generated

My Sheri Crafts #103

Show some LOVE to the ones you LOVE

 

You got it!  Based on the title for this week's theme at My Sheri Crafts ... you can tell what we're celebrating!

I decided to make a card for this theme.  It's been a long time since I made an easel card so I made a triangular one to add dimension to the elements on top

It has become a tradition now among my kids that I make at least one Valentine's card every year with a little hand on it displaying the "I love you" symbol

Cricut elements include, the hand from a Printing 101 cartridge and the hearts from Wedding cartridge.  The flourishes are Spellbinders and so are the frame below.  The tiny roses are actually made of metal and they were given to me by a friend a long time ago.  The sentiments are handwritten with gel pens

Thanks for looking!

Papers - DCWV
