THE ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #301--"WINTER CARDS WITH GLITTER"--31 JANUARY 2016

Tomorrow is the big Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More Store's Valentine's Day digis reveal!

Be sure to stop back by to see my card with one of the new digis!

In the meantime, this week's challenge at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is to create winter cards with glitter!  Please be sure we can see the glitter on your card!  Our sponsor this week is Fred, She Said Designs, and the prize is a $10 voucher from the Fred, She Said Designs store.

The Design Team members were provided with an image from Fred, She Said Designs for our projects, and my chosen image is "Catchin' Flakes."  I decided to get a jump on Christmas cards for later this year, since I couldn't find any real winter-related sentiments in my sentiment stash.  Guess that means it's time to go shopping!

I used Sketch #217 from Sketch Saturday 

and will be entering my card there for their Week #397 Challenge.

Supplies Used

Now, let's take a look at my project for Day 11!

These triple stamp cards are pretty neat and actually not that difficult to make.  I found a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers.  Again, my go-to stamp sets for this card was from The {Stamps} of Life:  wreath4me and trees4Christmas.  Since I used dark green cardstock, I also used Marcella by K Evergreen dye ink to stamp the wreath (no longer sold by K & Company), and I believe I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Barn Door for the words.  I also added a little bit of glitter for some shine.

NEW CHRISTMAS AND WINTER DIGITAL STAMPS IN THE ROBYN'S FETISH DIGITAL STAMPS AND MORE STORE--NOVEMBER 9, 2015

Happy Monday, everyone!  Today is Reveal day for the new Christmas and Winter digital stamps in the Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More store!  Each Design Team member was given two of the new digis to use on our projects for Reveal Day.

First, I used "Snow Cabin" to create this shaped card:

 After printing my image and cutting it out, I colored it with colored pencils, added some glitter and Stickles, then adhered it to a card base a little off-set so the side of the cabin would be on the folded edge of the card.  I then fussy cut around the cabin so it would be a shaped card!

Supplies Used
~Colored pencils
~Pink & Main Christmas Quotes sentiment
~Ranger Archival Ink Designer Series:  Wendy Vecchi in Red Geranium
~Stickles in Crystal, Green, Purple, Spiced Marmalade, Star Dust, and Xmas Red
~Wink of Stella Glitter Clear brush pen

Second, I used "Snow Angel" to create this tag:

I left the back blank so it could easily be used as a gift tag or tag on a plate of yummy holiday goodies!

Supplies Used

~Colored pencils

~Pink & Main Christmas Quotes sentiment

~Stickles in Crystal

~Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Faded Jeans

~Timeless Twine in Aqua Blue

~Wink of Stella Glitter Clear brush pen

~Zig 2 Way Glue

~ZING! Embossing Powder in Glitter Finish Gold

Be sure to hop over to the Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More Store to check out all the new Christmas and Winter digis and to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to see all of the Design Team's projects with these great new images!  There's also a sale going on until January 15, so be sure you get in on that! 



 Happy scrapping, everyone!

June Stick It Down Card Team reveal

Sorry I'm a day late with posting the June card sketch at Stick It Down!  I've been to California on vacation (just me, myself, and I!), and it's taken me a few days to get back in the groove.  This is my last post as a member of the Stick It Down card team, and I want to say how much I have truly enjoyed working with these sketches.  Some of them have DEFINITELY made me think outside the box, but I have loved every minute of my time on the design team.  Thank you for the opportunity!

Here's the Stick It Down card sketch for June:

I decided to flip the sketch on its side, because it seemed to work better with the paper I wanted to use.

Supplies Used

Americana by Pebbles 6x6 paper pad

Bella Creationz silver and white doilies

Canvas and mesh ribbons from stash

The Paper Studio Sticky Doos foam adhesive circles

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Barn Door and Faded Jeans

You have until June 30 to get your project linked up at Stick It Down, so be sure to head over there to check out all the sketches!  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

Freedom card for Linnie Blooms

Happy Hump Day!  Ashley here with my Linnie Blooms July challenge creation for you!  I decided to make a patriotic card, so I used the canvas stars from Linnie Blooms.

I painted each star with watercolors (Yes, I painted the one on the left, too!).  The background paper is Celebrate Paper from the Simple Stories Sea to Shining Sea collection, and I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Barn Door.  The sentiment in the bottom right corner is from a Studio G patriotic set and was stamped using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Faded Jeans.  I adhered the canvas stars to the background paper with fabric glue, then I added some Stickles in Xmas Red and Star Dust.  The blue glitter I added was from Studio G.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you're enjoying our projects this month!

Summertime, Summertime, Sum-, Sum-, Summertime!

Happy Hump Day!  I hope you're all having a great week and are getting to enjoy some fun things this summer.  Here in Arkansas, we've had rain EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past few weeks.  I don't remember a summer like this, and I grew up in Arkansas!  We need a few days WITHOUT rain so everything can dry out, and the kids can get outside to play some.

The Design Team's Challenge this month is to show what we love to do in the summer by using Linnie Blooms' canvas, stencils, and/or masks.  In my family, we LOVE to sit outside and grill while the kids play in the yard, so I created this fun outdoor grillin' card:

First, I painted the canvas sun with watercolors, using yellow around the edges and a combination of red, orange, and yellow in the center.  While that dried, I painted the bottom of my cardstock with green watercolor for hills and the top with a combination of blue, red, orange, yellow, and purple watercolor trying to simulate a sunset.  Using some stamps I found in my stash, I then created the scene with the grill, deck chair and umbrella, and tub of beer & wine.  I used a couple sentiments to finish off the scene, then I adhered the sun with Liquid Stitch fabric adhesive.  I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!

Here are the supplies I used:

Linnie Blooms canvas sun










Thanks for stopping by to check out my project!  Be sure to hop over to the Linnie Blooms shop to pick up your own canvas pieces and try your hand at creating a project showing what YOU love to do in the summertime.  Have a great rest of your week, and be sure to come back to see what the rest of the Design Team has in store!
