WW DT: End of Year Anything Christmas Goes Challenge

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my October post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:

Our sponsor for the challenge is the wonderful:

Shop - https://twinklelanedesigns.blog/shop/

Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/145707866223056/

and the prize on offer for the winner is two images of their choice from the shop

I chose the 

Christmas Baubles, Digi Stamps, which is very celebratory of the end of the year.

I went looking for sketches to work with this image and found this one:

Try Stamping on Tuesday 584

This challenge is a collaboration between two blogs, and I used the sketch and combined two different printed papers from the Tattered Lace magazine freebies, one is the stripped paper and the second I used mats for the digital image, with stripped stars in the same colors (yellow and dark red).

However, I did not make to post in time, so I was suggested to join the next challenge:

double trouble challenge: challenge-127-kaleidoscope-of-colors

colorful options: December

I guess my baubles are colorful enough and the card in general is mostly white.

For the digital image, I decided to use metallic red and gold pens, and when coloring with a red pen, it smeared a little bit.

Then, I used distress inks as watercolor media and the unexpected happened and the red/ gold ink smeared worse... so I worked around it and decided to with the mage a bluish background to blend my mistake some:

At least the inside of my card work out better

From sweet sketches challenge blog, see bellow for more info.

I used the matting die to cut the image and then used different distress inks and some HeroArts inks to color it. Then I traced the edges of the die cut unto a larger piece of printed blue cardstock to use as a mat. I fussy cut the blue mat and use the negative corners as part of the sketch embellishment.

I used foam squares to mount the die cut and some bakers twine to complete the look with this month's SCT Sampler sentiment die cut instead of the ribbon.

WW DT: Meowy Christmas Card

 

Dear Scrappers,

This is my August post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:

The sponsor this month is: 

I chose the meowy christmas digital image for this challenge, which is super cute.

I used my Tattered Lace tag die to cut the printed image and turned it around to cut the other side as well:

I used a nice Tattered Lace printed cardstock that I had from the magazines, which coordinated well with the wintered themed image. I used a CTMH card kit and picked a nice background with similar colors to the TL printed paper. I then, fussy cute the sentiment from a second printed digital image, outlining the words with a metallic gel pen:

I colored the digital image with more gel pens and used 3D foam squares to assemble the sentiment tag and the colored image to the background paper.

I used the sketch:

Materials and tools:

Tattered Lace tags dies

Tattered Lace printed background paper

CTMH card kit

Metallic and assorted gel pens

DT: Hidden Garden Sitting Chart

 

 

Hi, 

This is  my next post for Craftwell. 

For this post, I was asked to decorate a sitting chart for our school's gala. The theme for the gala was the hidden garden. So I went with the theme.

I made a video from a PowerPoint Presentation I made to explain the techniques and steps I did for creating this sitting chart:

Here are some closer views of the different elements I created:

I really love this flower drapery die and coordinated charisma from Tattered Lace, so I had it ready for my next project, which was perfect for creating a secret garden theme stage.

The decorative borders and corners dies from Graphic 45 were also a perfect match for this project.

I went with DCWV gold printed paper for the die cuts of the words/ numbers and corners/ border because I love how this paper looks like glitter chunks reflecting in the light.

For the tables and 8 chairs, I went with hearts doilies with the gold number die cuts.

I mounted each piece with foam squares to give them more depth.

This was a fun project to make and I did not have much time and only used the supplies I had at my workplace. 

Craftwell Tools: 

SNAP die cut machine

Other Companies:

Dies: Queen & CO alpha, Graphic 45 and Tattered Lace

DCWV Solid Gold paper

Tattered Lace Printed Paper

Tacky Glue

Foam Squares

Poster Foam Boards

Gilded Metallic Paste

Cricut Explorer and Design Space

 I hope you enjoy it this fun project and please follow Craftwell as well.

Happy Spring
