CYDI? Challenge #36 - Anything But A Card

Hello.

It's time for a new challenge at CYDI? This time we are wanting to see anything but a card. For my project I went with an altered box. First I covered it with a wood grain paper from the Vintage pad by Grace Taylor, and then distressed it. I embossed the sentiment with gold embossing paper, and sprinkled the gold EP over the top of the lid. I then added the image, which is Bingo Dress Form & Wings by LilyPink Designs. To finish I added some buttons from the Elzybells Chocolate Brownie collection.

CYDI? Challenge # 35 - Birthday Flowers

Hello.

Although I did make two cards for the new CYDI? challenge and they were on the store blog in time, I am posting them late on my own blog. The new challenge is Birthday Flowers. 

My first card was made using Penelope by LilyPink Designs. She is backed on a paper from the Designstax pad by Papermania. I added some Dovecraft bunting and created a sentiment using a mix of chipboard letters and peel off stickers. When I had finished I realised that it didn't mention birthdays, which is why I made the second card.

For the second card I used Celebrate With Cake by A Creative Need. All I added was a sentiment. Both the image and sentiment are raised using foam pads.

Steampunk Birthday

Hello.

I tend to stick to CAS designs, but I had lots of fun playing around to make this card. The card base is bronze shimmery card. The next layer is a textured light brown paper from my stash, which was inked around the edges with a red ink pad. After that is a paper from the Persimmon Collection by Papermania, which has a strip from a page in an old book down one side and was inked around the edges using a bronze ink pad. The top layer is Key Background by LilyPink Designs, which I printed two of so that I could cut the clock from one of them. The head is a freebie from Beyond The Fringe and the hat is Top Hat, another LilyPink Designs image. All the images were coloured using a combination of pencils and sponging from ink pads. The gold embossed sentiment is from the Worth Repeating set by Stampology. To finish I added some brads. I didn't have brads in the colour I wanted to I filed some silver ones and inked them using a bronze ink pad.

Bee Happy

Hello.

For today's card I printed Bee Happy by Lilypink Designs four times and then coloured and cut out each hexagon. They were then stuck onto a piece of white card, with the sentiment raised using foam pads. The white card was trimmed and layered on black card which was then stuck to the card base. Really CAS, but really fun to do. I stuck the last bee on the inside to finish.

CYDI? Challenge #31 - Male Birthdays

Hello.

It's my turn to host the Can You Digi It? challenge. The theme this time is Male Birthday's. This card was made using lots of scrap pieces of paper, and Top Hat by LilyPink Designs. It's my first attempt at anything in the steam-punk style. I wanted to put more metal on it, but I didn't really have anything that would work. It's definitely a style I want to try again though, I love the look of it.

Hello.

Oops...I'm a day behind on my post for the latest CYDI? challenge. This time the challenge is to use green, check it out here. For my project I wanted to make something other than my usual card. I used the City Stamps digi's by LilyPink Designs to make this necklace.

CYDI? Challenge #27 - Getting Girly

Hello.

The new challenge over at Can You Digi It? is to make a girly card. For mine I have used Good Shoes by LilyPink Designs. The image is backed on a paper from the Designstax pad by Papermania.

CYDI? Challenge #26 - Sparkle, Sparkle

Hello.

Happy new year to all my blogging friends! I hope you all had a good start to 2013.

Today's card is for the Can You Digi It challenge. Challenge 26 is to use some sparkle. I created my card using Bingo Dress Form & Wings by LilyPink designs. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the wings sparkly. There are also a few of the craft goodies I got for Christmas used on this card. The ribbon is from a pack designed by Amy Tan for American Crafts, and was tied using my Papermania Bow Maker. The background paper is from the All Seasons pad from the Recollections line by Michaels, and the circle is from the Blossom pad by K and Company. 

 Here's a coupld of closer pictures to show the sparkle on the wings.
