Deedee's November Progressive Challenge - Seal

Deedee's Digis November Progressive Challenge includes this adorable seal. I did an easel card to show off this cutie! I fussy cut the seal and glued him to the snowflake paper and then cut that out as well. The papers come from Hello Winter from Echo Park Paper. The tiny bit of red is a gel pen. Blue snowflakes and decorative dots were added from my stash.  The sentiment was included in the set. For the inside, I created a gift card holder.

Deedee's Digis October Progressive Challenge

Deedee's Digis has a wonderful set (Pumpkin Patch) that you can layer or just use the completed picture to color. I used Patch for October's Progressive Challenge. The scene was colored with Copics, trimmed with Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside dies and embellished with bit of white gel pen and Wink of Stella I added some leaves (Darice Dies) that I made from paper with Color Bursts (popped a couple for dimension), and added a bit of twine. The card base is an orange from Recollections and topped with a yellow embossed piece to which the scene was attached. I added a few leftover leaves inside the card as well.

Deedee's Elephant Flip Card

The September Progressive Challenge is ready over at Deedee's Digis. I just love this little elephant called "Leaf your cares behind". He comes with tons of extras. Do take a peek. I could hardly wait to color him. I found a great tutorial in Issue 139 of Simply Cards & Papercrafts for making tie dye baby wipes. You used them to transfer the design to paper, but I just loved the brightness of the original baby wipe so I glued that to the front of my card. I also found a wonderful tutorial for this card fold by France Martin that she calls a flip card.

I used the remainder of the baby wipe to die cut the leaves for the inside.

A Sunburst with a Sundae

This is my last week as a guest designer for Deedee's Digis. I certainly have enjoyed working with such nice images. If you have not yet looked at the images available, please do so. She has some lovely sets. This week, I chose the set called A Little Something. This set includes a cake, cupcake,  papers, and sentiments besides this fun ice cream sundae! I used a die cut to cut out the image and raised it with foam over the paper sunburst that I made for the background from cutting two different papers from Nana's Kids Mat Stack. I used Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder with a sprinkle of glitter over the whipped cream. The cherry has Glossy Accents for dimension and there is a bit of Wink of Stella over the rest.

Christmas Cookies Card for Deedee's Progressive Challenge

This month, the Progressive Challenge from Deedee's, has a very useful set of baskets all set for lots of occasions. You will find a Christmas basket all ready to color; however, Christmas cookies are very important for everyone in our family. I have four grown boys and four grandchildren, and now even a great grandson. Everyone, including my daughter's-in-law, love the cream cheese cookies. So I colored and fussy cut out the empty basket, added some snowman cookies and peppermint candies from other Deedee's sets and popped them all up on foam tape. The background is made with Color Bursts, a powder that you make "burst" with water. The sentiment is from the Deedee's set for August too. A piece of red ribbon and a candycane from Jolee's Boutique all on top of a blue glitter card finish up this Christmas card.

A message from Deedee: "We are celebrating our birthday this month by offering the Christmas basket image from this set on our blog to anyone who wants to join in the challenges. This is what we call a "free-for-all" challenge, to give anyone who hasn't been able to buy the initial set the chance to get started with the one image." (As long as you continue to participate each month, the next image will be free as well!) It's not too late to join in on the fun!

Chicken Soup Wishes

Here I am again with week two for my August Guest Designer spot over at Deedee's Digis! I chose these images from the set called Chicken Soup Wishes and made this criss cross card with Recollections card stock, Paper Studio Basics DP, Copics, Wink of Stella, Slicci pen in gold, Glossy accents for the eyes, and the hearts are Style Steals from Michael's. I love how the card slides out. You can write your message on the back or use it to hold a gift card.

Hamster in a Cup

I am very pleased to be a guest designer for Deedee's Digis for the month of August. I chose this adorable image from the Coffee Cup Greetings collection, to make my card for this week.

I embossed on watercolor paper and went over it with some Distressed Inks. I die cut an opening to put the hamster behind, added a die cut and colored patterned oval and a couple of Copic airbrushed flowers to finish this simple card. The texture on the hamster was made with bumpy cloth and some Copic blending solution.
