Crafty Contagion: It’s Not Easy Being Green!

3 Comments

Hi, crafty pals! Thanks for stopping by for a closer look at the card I created for the latest challenge at Crafty Contagion! This time, the Divas are getting groovy with the color green!

I’ll admit, it’s not one of my favorite colors, but I had fun with this challenge! I asked Scott for some ideas using the color green, and one that he came up with was a dragon. So, I picked one of my Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps that features a dragon, and colored it up!

Here’s my card, featuring many shades of green:

Supplies: patterned papers (Cosmo Cricket – Social Club), sentiment stamp (My Favorite Things), image stamp (Kraftin’ Kimmie – Takara), Copic markers, ribbon, coin charm, brads, Spellbinders die (Labels 8), ink (Tsukineko Brilliance), card base, foam tape.

Hope you’ve been inspired to create something green for our challenge! We’d love to see what you create! Before you link up, don’t forget to see what the other Divas of Team B have whipped up at the Crafty Contagion blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Contagion Challenge: 12 Days of Christmas!

2 Comments

Happy Saturday! This week, the Stamping Together Divas have all contributed to this week’s challenge at our Crafty Contagion blog, which is inspired by the 12 days of Christmas! Each of us chose one of the days and then created a card inspired by that day!

My card was inspired by the “10 Lords-A-Leaping.” My first thought was to use frogs, and then I dressed them up for Christmas:

Supplies: card base, image stamps – (Santa hat – Paper Smooches; frog – Stampin’ Up!), ink (Stampin’ Up!) sentiment (Making Memories rub-on), glitter brads, Copic markers, cardstock, (Stampin’ Up! & Bazzill), patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye – 12 Days of Christmas), corner rounder, pom-poms.
The rub-on sentiment actually said “happy holidays,” but I borrowed an “o” from another of the sentiments and used it in place of the “a” to make my custom sentiment.
There are 11 more fantastic cards for you to see! Head over to the Crafty Contagion blog to check them all out!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I’ve inspired you to craft something fun and festive!

It’s my week to join the rest of Team B for the latest challenge at Crafty Contagion, which is to use leftovers (also known as scraps) on your creation!

Crafty Contagion is a new challenge blog that my group of stamping buddies (the Stamping Together Divas) set up for us to share cards and projects we’ve made, to challenge each other and inspire YOU!

We issue a challenge every two weeks, and I hope you’ll find some time to play along with us! Just grab your stash of paper scraps and jump in!

My card uses several scraps from Basic Grey’s “Nordic Holiday” mini pad! They were left over from earlier projects I made for the September DeNami blog hop:

Supplies: patterned paper (Basic Grey – Nordic Holiday; Bo Bunny Double Dot,  pink polka dot paper  – from stash), cardstock (Stampin’ Up!), card base, image stamp (The Greeting Farm – Beanie Anya), sentiment stamp (Paper Smooches), Liquid Applique, ribbon scrap, embossing powder, adhesive rhinestone, Copic markers, card base, ink (Tsukineko).

The snowflake embellishment is an extra that I had left over after I finished making our Christmas card for this year.
