Funday Friday - Anything Goes

It's time for another Funday Friday - Anything Goes over at Jo's Scrap Shack.

 

This week's sponsor is Scrapper's Delights and the prize is 3 digital stamps.

 



I am always on the lookout for new (at least to me) card designs and folds. One good place to find them is at Beccy's Place. That's where I found this fold, a Double Shutter Card aka Double Display Card.

This card was great for using up some scraps, all of the papers are from DCWV, the felt scroll I used on the front has been in my stash for over 4 years, ever since the 2012 Great Lakes Mega Meet. It was part of my, "Queen and Co. Trunk".

All of the stamps I used are from various stamp sets that I have had in my stash for at least 3 years.

You can find the directions for this card here: Beccy's Place.

Please come and join the fun over at Jo's Scrap Shack.

HIMCR #195 - Friendship Card

This buzzy bee from Scrapper's Delights is just darling, I knew that she would go perfectly with my "What's Buzzin' Words and Vine" stamp set from: www.plumpurdy.com

 

 

The card base measures 6" h x 5 1/2" w. I added a scrap of Core'dinations paper which I embossed with my Julis Garden embossing folder. I added an Action Wobble to the bee.

 

 

I stamped the, "Buzzzzz........" onto a scrap of cream paper and backed it with a scrap of Core'dinations paper which I embossed with an embossing folder from my stash.

 

I stamped the vine onto another scrap of cream paper and backed it with the same scrap of Core'dinations paper and embossed it with the same embossing folder.

 

I stamped the, "What's Buzzin............" stamp on the inside and added a piece of black twine to the fold.

 



The 12 Months of Christmas - Challenge #3

Hi and welcome to The 12 Months of Christmas Challenge #3.

Here is what I came up with for our theme of, "Snow".

 

Ever since our move to Arizona the memory of winter's wrath has faded. We do get some snow on occasion, over New Year's weekend we had 6" of the white stuff fall on us. We stayed home for 2 days, that's how long it took for the snow to melt.

I wanted to make a shaker card, this image was perfect for that. When I shake the card it snows inside the window.

 

I used this month's paper, I embossed that using my Cuttlebug and snow embossing folder.

The sentiment is from: DDDoodles_HH_WordArt\DDDoodles_HH_WordArt

I added a piece of rick rack on one side of the snow layer and rounded off the corners of the card face.

I used mini beads inside the shaker element.

HIMCR #188 - Erasers!

 HIMCR #188 - Erasers!

Laurie found this cute technique on Splitcoast Stampers and thought it would be a fun challenge to do here on HIMCR! Here's the link to give you some ideas: Erasers!

 

The sponsor is Scrapper's Delights!

The giveaway is 3 images of winner's choice from Scrapper's Delights

Card 1

 

Card 2

Recipe for Card 1:

I used this image before, this little girl looks just like my  beautiful daughter-in-law, Miki.

 

Image from Scrapper's Delights

Chipboard

Colored pencils or whatever you like to color with

Ribbon, buttons, action wobble

Eraser and ink or acrylic paint

Corner chomper

 

I started out using ink to make my background but I didn't like the way it looked so I re-did it with acrylic paints. Dip your eraser into the paint then apply to your card face. Use as many or as few colors as you prefer.

After coloring my image I adhered it to a small piece of chipboard and did a fussy cut. I added an action wobble because Miki likes them, I will use this card for her, no sentiment yet because I haven't decided which occasion to use it for.

I added some ribbon and buttons to the folded side. I chomped the corners.

 

Card 2:

 

Image from Scrapper's Delights

Chipboard

Cardstock (my flowered paper is from Japan)

Colored pencils or whatever you prefer to color with.

Ribbon

Eraser and inks - I used blue, red and green

Foam pads

Spellbinder's scalloped circle dies

 

I colored my image and adhered it to a thin piece of chipboard and did a fussy cut. I cut the flowered paper with the largest Spellbinder's scalloped circle dies in the package. I also cut one of chipboard and glued the 2 pieces together.

I put my die on my card face to make it easier to do the eraser inking.

After the ink dried I added a piece of ribbon. I adhered the flowered layer and my image with foam pads.
