Creative Card Chicks - September, Pooh and Friends

 Okay, this is the last one for today. I still need to work on October and November.

This kit was sent by Vikki Jo. She's a Winnie the Pooh fan. I think he just had a birthday also. 

The cardstock I used for the base and mat is Stampin Up Raspberry Ripple. The ribbon is also from Stmpin Up, Crushed Curry. The designer paper and image/sentiment is from Echo Park. Use a little yellow flower bling. Such a fun and easy card - no stamping or coloring. 
 

Creative Card Chicks - August - Delightful Dog

 Hi again. Yes, I'm back again today and I have one more card after this to post. I'm almost caught up. For August, I was the hostess and sent out the stamping kit for the other members of Creative Card Chicks - Monthly Challenge. 


 I love this little dog. I think he's so cute. The image and sentiment ( which you can't see because it is inside underneath the circle. The card had a fancy fold so just the left half opens to reveal the inside of the card. Sorry I did not take a picture of that part. 

Items used:

Stamp image and sentiment - Inky Antics - Delightful Dogs #3

Card stock - Xpress It blending card; Stampin Up Mellow Moss

Designer Paper - Stampin Up - I think it is Afternoon Tea (retired)

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black

Bling - stash

Copic Markers -  E31, E33, E34, E25; G21, G24; C6; Y13, Y18

 

Creative Card Chicks - Let's Just Chill - July

 Hi Friends - Yes, that does say July. I am way behind on my postings due to health challenges. It's been a busy few months here in H Town, but things are looking better and I am mostly on a good schedule so I have time to play in my craft room and also get cards uploaded. That's my bad. I'm such a procrastinator.

This card was for the Creative Card Chicks monthly challenge on SCS. Each month we have a hostess who sends us each a card kit and we make one or more cards using the items the hostess sends us. Sometimes we get to use some of the things in our stash. This card kit was from Roxie - (morgainegeiser) to make a summer card. I loved the paper that she sent. So pretty with all the flowers. 

The stamp image is Lemonade by Unity

Designer paper and ribbon trim is from Stampin Up. I used Stampin Up cardstock for the base card and mats. Sorry I didn't write down which color I used. I also used Copic markers to color the image and then used Crystal Effects on the jar to give it that glassy look. A fun card.

Hello Sunshine - Creative Card Chicks - May

 Hello my friends. I hope you all are doing okay. I just finished up week 10 of this semester. I am so ready for it to be over. American Government is kicking my bu**. At least I have something to share with you. I'm a little late with my posts, but that's what happens when life gets in the way.

The first card I'm going to share is from the May challenge. Our hostess was Sue (stampinspooky on SCS). Sue sent us some paper, enamel dots, twine, and some sentiments. She also sent a layout challenge which I used for my card. Sue did not say where the sentiment was from. The challenge was to use both sides of the designer paper on the card.


 Designer Paper - Echo Park - You Are My Sunshine

Twine - Hobby Lobby 

This was a fun and easy card to make and can be used for lots of different cards with an image on either of the circles.

CCC April Monthly Challenge - Sunflower Wishes

 Here is the second card I made from Terry's card kit (terry serman). It was so fun playing with this little bee stamp and the beautiful papers she sent us.


 This is very similar to the first card that I made only it's turned sideways. I used another sticker from the Graphic 45 Let It Bee collection that says, Sunflower Wishes and Honey Bee Kisses. I used Copic markers to color it, this time using Y15, T7, and G21. I still have some leftovers and look forward to making a few more cards with this kit.

CCC - Let It Bee

 Good morning. Just. Happy Saturday. I hope you are all doing well and storm free. We had a rather wet day yesterday but glad to see the sun shining today even if there is a slight chill in the air. Second week done for this semester - only 12 more to go until summer break.

This is the first of two cards to share today. Our hostess this month was Terry (terry serman) She sent us such a cute kit with little bees (a bee stamp) and pretty flowers. Bees are almost as good as butterflies. I made two cards so far from the kit. Here is the first one.

I don't know what I did with the instructions from Terry that tells what the dsp is but it's so pretty. She did include the strip of washi tape which I used for a border at the bottom. I used my oval Nestabilities die to cut out the image and the mat. I think I used SU Crushed Curry for the mat and card base. I did not write that down. I used a yellow enamel dot for the center of the flower and some Stickles Crystals on the wings. For the sentiment I used a sticker from the Let It Bee Graphic 45 collection. I love their products. The sketch is from SCS Sketch Challenge 447.  I used Copic markers to color in the bee - C21, T7, and Y18.
