Delightful Challenges
Make the Cut

This week we want to see your
Die Cuts, Punches or Decorative Scissors

This week our winner will receive



For this challenge I used...
Spring has Sprung Digital Paper Pack

Here is my card....

I colored this card with Copic Markers

This card is an 5 1/2" x 8.5" card.
While I can make an envelope that size with the
We R Memories Envelope Punch Board,
I couldn't print the digital paper to the correct size.
It would have had to been 11" x  11"
:(

I love the fact that this challenge...
Make the Cut...
came up shortly after I purchased my
SpellBinders Grand Calibur.
I used the Spellbinders Big Scalloped Rectangle  SM
set for this card.
It is an AC Moore exclusive
for only
$10.

I chalked the edges of the die cuts with
Color Box Pigment...the green from the Tropical set.

I also used my EK Daisy punch.
I put the daisies over
American Craft Glitter Tape...the color is called Cricket.
I used Stickles FireFly to the center's of the daisies.

I used Key Lime Liquid Pearls to the corners of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.
May your worries be few
and
your crafting days be long.

Delightful Challenges Back to School

Back to School Challenge

This week we are celebrating...
Back to School.

It wasn't all that long ago that my children were in school.
I couldn't wait for the Back to School Time.

This week our sponsor is...

For this challenge I am using

Here is my card.

I colored this with a combination of thing.
Copic Markes
E25, E31, R29, YG25, B05
Prismacolor Pencils
PC935, PC1054
Gel Pens
Gold, silver and black

The lunch bucket and scissor die cuts were cut using
Sure Cuts A Lot
and my Cricut.

The image and sentiment die cuts
are Nestabilities Big Rectangles.
The edges of the die cuts are chalked
with Aquamarine Color Box, Cat Eye.

I used the We R Memories Envelope Punch Board
and matching paper to make the envelope.
When I print the paper I end up with a margin around the edge,
which prevents me from cutting the paper for the envelope to the given size for an A2 card.
So I cut the paper at 8" x 8", and score at 3.5" and it comes up just right.
I find that the size they give on the board is a bit to big...
but would most likely be GREAT if you had a ton of embellishments and needed
that extra room.

The gems were from my stash.  


Thanks for stopping by
May your worries be few
And your crafting days be long.

And the twist is...
to include a Gnome.

Here is what I did with this sketch...

For this challenge I used
Digital Delight's,

I colored the image with 
Copic Markers

The paper is from 
from Digital Delights.

The daisy is from 
Recollections Signature Special...
from Micheal's. 
The daisies didn't have any leaves, 
so I cut them on my Cricut from 
an SVGCuts 3 D flower set. 

The scalloped border was a free file I found
on the World Wide Web...
sorry I don't know where the file was from.  

The clouds are cut on my Cricut 
using Sure Cuts A Lot...
they are within the SCAL program.  

I used my Big Bite and added eyelets
to the sentiment...
which made up....
seems like it fit.

At the end of this challenge,
their will be a new blog owner at Fat-tastic Tuesday.
The challenge will be closing down for 2 weeks while 
the new owner makes changes.

Guess we have to wait and see what those changes will be.
I love Fat Pages, but depending on the changes made...
this may be my last Fat-Tastic Tuesday post.

As I was putting the Stickles on the hearts,
I had a thought.
The hearts on the jar look like they are tied on
with raffia.
Well I happen to have some raffia
and thought a heart charm would look nice.

This week's winner will win
a $15 store gift card

For this I used
Copic Marker Set

I put the "black" label on this one

which is next on which ones I purchase.

I used the SVG file with Sure Cuts A Lot
and my Cricut.
I added some lace from my stash.
