Hostess Monday at Digital Delights

Hi everyone!  I have the pleasure of being the Hostess this week at Digital Delights.  I want to show you my take on a calendar that I saw on my team mates site - Rubber Stamping is my Game. I made it for my husband so it does not have much bling!


This calendar works for the whole year and comes with a 
variety of images, days and months.


I started with the basic elements of a side step card.


I cut slits in the Spellbinder die cuts so that the images and the months would slip into the slots.


I printed and colored all the images and used Distress Tea Dye to  color the edges of the images, days and months.


I used jewelers "O" rings to hold the days in place.  
They can be flipped over for each new day.

I used some of my favorite Digital Delights images for this calendar project:
Birthday Cake Josh, Kiss Me Pasquali, Chompers colored, Daisy Flower,
Sailor Simon, Scrubbie Ted

Mr. Gnome, Dazzling Sue, Pumpkin Kiddles,
Fall Girl, Caroling Polly


Card Recipe
Paper: Bazzill teal, SU paper pack
Markers/Ink: Copics, Ranger Distress Tea Dye
Embellishments: Spellbinders dies, Prima pearls, O rings

Hello Sunshine!

My card this week features this cute Flower Power Daisy.  Wendy over at Digital Delights has made several of these wonderful spring flower girls.

This was a simple card to make.  I just printed out Flower Power Daisy and the sentiment.  The coloring was easy and then I used a Spellbinders die to cut the image shape.  I left the paper in the die and used Distress ink on a sponge to add color around the image, and this technique also leaves a white edge as a frame.

Card Recipe
Images: Digital Delights Flower Power Daisy, Spring Sentiment Set
Paper: SU Dafodill, Spring Fling Papers
Markers/Ink: Copics, Distress Scattered Straw
Embellishments: Spellbinders dies, lace, CraftSmart Ribbon, Prima flower, SU flower brad

Crafty Sewing Mouse Kit


This cute little Crafty Mouse from Digital Delights inspired me to make a sewing kit for my eldest grand daughter (age 9).  She has just started sewing with mom and I knew she would need some supplies.


I made a box (design is from Amazing Paper Grace) and topped it with a see through lid made with Spellbinder dies.  


Inside the box are old wooden spools with a selection of threads, a thimble and safety pins.


 Inside the thread package is a fresh set of sewing needles.

Paper: KaiserCraft Magnolia Grove, acetate
Markers/Ink: Copics
Embellishments: Spellbinders dies, bakers twine, wooden spools, and sewing supplies

Give Me Your Heart!

My card this week is for my sweetie on Valentines.  I used a Robyn's Fetish image and tried to use more masculine colors.  He knows that I am in to lace and ribbon so he won't mind my embellishments.

I wanted lots of dimension so I embossed a piece of light teal card stock and then lightly brushed my sponge over it with Distress Fired brick.  Then I layered it up with a new Spellbinders die postage frame and Fleur de Lis.


Card Recipe:
Image: Robyn's Fetish Randy Valentine Day
Paper: Bazzill Brown and light teal, Basic Grey 
Markers/Inks: Copics, White Gel Pen
Embellishments: Spellbinders Postage Frame and Fleur de Lis, Scalloped Oval, May Road heart pins, craft ribbon and lace, Prima pearls, SU Twine

Hop on over to the Creative Craft Challenge blog and check out all the great inspiration by the Design Team.  Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish.

Let Your Light Shine - Craft a Scene


This week at Craft a Scene the challenge is to let our light shine with a creation that contains a lighthouse.  We also need to tell everyone how our project is shining our light.

 My project this week is a bookmark for my daughter-in-law.  Her birthday just passed and this is for her to mark her spot in her reading.  

I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with Momento black ink.  I used Ranger Distress markers to lightly color the main areas and then used my paintbrush and water to smooth out the color.
Card Recipe
Images: Stamps Happen
Paper: SU Early Espresso, Strathmoore watercolor paper
Markers/Ink: Ranger Distress pens
Embellishments: Spellbinders bookmark die, various string and ribbon from my stash
