Challenge #52 - "Tickled Pink"

I am so pleased that I had so many to enter my first challenge after the break the the Design Team and I took.  I hope everyone will return for future challenges and help spread the word about my challenges. 

I have made one improvement, I hope, to the challenges and that is I am  posting the upcoming challenges on my sidebar.  This way, you can plan ahead.  However, if you will, please do not enter more than two entries per challenge.  We want to be able to comment on everyone's entry. The main reason I use the random generator is to give everyone a chance no win no matter her/his level of crafting. I hope beginners will win as well as advanced crafters.  The main purpose of the blog is to encourage one another.

The theme for the challenge is "Tickled Pink".  What we would like to see is a lot of pink or something that pleases you so much that you are tickled pink.

Vicki

My inspirational card for this challenge uses a cute Digi Darlas image of a boy hissing a little girl.  .  I used Copic markers to color the image. This card is a little different in that the sentiment is larger than the image.  The sentiment is fabric.   The border is a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs. I thought this would make a perfect Valentine card.

Michele

For my pink creation I used a lovely Digi Darla angel image and colored her with pencils and a gold gel pen. She is cradled in an oval shape distressed with pink ink and laid on decorative origami paper. The base is pink card stock. I could easily use this as a Valentine by adding a Valentine sentiment but it could also be a non traditional Christmas card. There are such a wide variety of lovely Digi Darla images to work with that whoever wins this prize will have a happy time playing!

Sharon

I've used a great fun image "Coffee Grandma" for this die cut card. She has been coloured with Copic Markers and cropped using a new set of dies I recently purchased. I've added some embellishments: feathers, fibre and bling to finish it off!

 

Petra

Sooooo sweet ... this little baby girl asleep. This is one of Darla's darling images on a mini card. I printed the image twice and layered it to make the image pop. The patterend papers are digital papers, the sentiment stamped. As embellishments I added organza ribbon and a little bling.

Rene

The image I am working with is the Paisly Peacock. Paisley made me think of pink.
I coloured the image with my pencils and fussy cut the paisley parts out 2 extra images. I layered the image and added some gems and; glitter. If you wondered, I'm tickled pink with how it turned out.
Looking forward to see your creations!

Just Friends and a Challenge Reminder

This is reminder for Just Some Lines' challenge "Something New".  For my card I used a new paper company for me.  It is Mary and Co.  The flowery paper is adorable and I put it and the sentiment on my base card with a scrap of paisley that I had on hand.  My image, colored with Copics, is from Just Some Lines and I think it goes perfectly with the sentiment.

Drop over to the JSL site and put in an entry.

A Second Week of Challenge "White as Snow"

This is the seond week of the challenge "White as Snow"  If you haven't joined yet, I hope you will do so.  The naub requirement that you project should have is that is should be basically white, especially the background.  Below are some inspirational cards from the Design Team.

Vicki

My card is fairly simple  I placed a Spellbinders card on the Waltaing Matilda die by Cheery Lynn Designs.  The card is also  has a border by CLD.  It is call Carnavil.  The dies are accent with pearls.  The image is from an unkknown source.

Michele 

Perhaps it is my reflections on the new year and perhaps it is the "white as snow" theme but the idea of peace is sticking with me. So I have another creation focusing on that idea. The "peace" stamp is from Hero Arts and I've got a sort of a "Warhol" style going with this one, using the stamp three times, embossing each time, giving it a decorative cut and affixing to my card stock. I hope you enjoy this card and can also take the time to enjoy joining our challenge.

Sharon

This week I have made a tag with white and; blue textured papers and added a gorgeous image from Lisa's Altered Art along with some ribbon, braid and a heart brad - something simple and soft looking!

 Valerie

This time I have made a little present box for a DVD/CD. The card I used is white with gold shimmer. The flower and wings have been die-cut using Sizzix dies, the butterfly is from my stash. I edged the flower with DI Victorian velvet, and placed a textile flower in the centre.The box is tied at the back with a narrow, white ribbon

Haave a nice week and thank for visiting.

Rene

This week I made a super quick, super CAS card. I had a sentiment ready for use which I attached to the card. A few fine liner lines finish the card.

I am grateful for the sponsorship of this challenge by the wonderful shop of Beverly Bohannon Classy Cards and Such.

All the new releases for Cheery Lynn Designs have been posted on Classy Cards and Such and they are beautiful.  She also carries some delightful cling stamps by Stampabie and some classy stamps from JustRite.  Atk this time she has a clearance on Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Scroll down to a previous post for the challenge announcement and enter to win a $10.gift certificate from my sponsor.

Something New

For Just Some Lines the current challenge is "Something New" so I thought I would try a new way of doing  an old Mosaic technique,  Usually this is done with a rubber stamp, but this time I used a digital.  I wasn't sure if I could do it, but actually it was much easier than thought.  The little baby is Just Some Lines and the sentiment is from ScrapTrends. For  a little embellishment I added some narrow lace.

Challenges are Back

The Cheerful Stamp Pad is excited that challeges are back.  I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and now is the time to start back crafting.  The DT has been on a well-deserved break and they are really to get back into the swing of things.

My first challenge for 2013 is Challenge #51 "White as Snow".  The background must be white, but we will allow a little color on the image.  For those of you who are entering my challenges for the first time the rules are mainly like those of other bloggers. You must follow the theme, no backlinking to previous posts, and you MUST link to the post that has your entry and not to the blog itself.  It is too time consuming to have to look and try to find your entry post.

The winner is chosen by the random generator.  However, I do something that most bloggers do not do and that is I notify the winner so hopefully there is a "Contact Me" or "Email" on your blog.  Once I let you know that you have won, please reply promptly as you have four days to reply.  After that I use the random generator again and pick another winner.  If the second winner has been notified, the prior one cannot claim the prize.  I also post the winner and her entry on my sidebar.  I try to do this by the Tuesday after the challenge closes.  Now the most important thing is to have fun!

My sponsor for this challenge is Classy Cards and Such.

 Beverly is the owner of Classy Cards and Such.  She is offering a $10 gift certificate to the winner of this challenge.   She has the new release from Memory Box/PoppyStamps coming in.  . It's a big release.  She also carries dies from Spellbinders, Cheery Lynn Designs, Memory Box as well as from other companies.

In the Classy Cards and Such carries a wide assortment of glitter, embossing folders, stamps, inks, paper and bling.  You will have to check her store out as there are so many items to put on your "must havet" list..  Shipping?  Well, she is fast!  It is to you in a couple of days....no waiting for your order!

Now let's see what the Design Team has created.

 Vicki

 My card uses two stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The bird and sentiment are stamped on a Spellbinders die  Another die was used for the flower.  Other embellishments include  leaves and an ornate corner made from Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  Also added are a couple of rows of lace and a string of pearls.  Pearls were also added to the center of the flower.

This card was also made for Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge "Winter White" and Our Daily Bread Designs' challenge "Anything Goes".

Don't forget to drop by and see my sponsor below as she carries many of the products I used.

 

Sharon

My card uses an image from itKuPiLLi along with white and pink textured papers, die cut lattice window, lace and felt flower. White always looks great and i couldn't resist adding some pink on this card to compliment the image.

Rene :

 I really like to play with just white - it gives you the chance to play with textures and white embellishments. My card is simple with embossing, some ribbon and lace and a touch of bling from my Gelly Roll.

Petra

A White Wedding

I layered white pearlescent and white corrugated card on a square blank card. Lace and ribbon mark the middle of the card. The wonderful lacey paper wreath has been cut with a Memory Box die which I embellished with paper flowers and lots of blings. The focal point is a handcut embossed paper heart and adorned with heart blings. The sentiment is stamped and heat-embossed in gold to give it this little extra special feel.

Valerie

I have used different shades of white for the card, background panel, lace, embossed panel and the bird, which has been glittered with Viva glitter liner. Hope you have all got off to a good start in the new year!

Michele

I'm excited for a new year of challenges here at the Cheerful Stamp Pad! For

Just Friends

This is my first post for 2013.

Can't you just image these little birds are friends.  They are huddled together to protect themselves from the cold.

I created this card just for the Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge themed "Friends or Friendship".  The background is a number of designer-paper scraps.  The image, colored with Copics, is from Just Some Lines.  The sentiment is from Vintage Arts Press. The die behind the birds is call Mini Pear Coved Rectangle Mega Doily from Cheery Lynn.   The thing I like about this die is that it can be adjusted to almost any size.

Wall Hanging

This is my last post for 2012.  It is a wall hanging using an image from Gecko Galz.  She is framed with a lacey diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs.  It is called French Flair Doilly.  This the first time I have used it and I like the way it framed my image  The background of the hanging is made with Clear Tar Gel, detress re-inker from  Tim Holtz, a stencil and acrylic paint and a napkin.  I haven't done very many wall hanging so this is still an experiment for me.

I made the wall hanging for Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge "Lace or Faux Lace".

 

Snow and Snowflakes

Well, we are forcast to have snow the day after Christmas.  It isn't the same as a White Christmas, but I'll take it.  We don't get much measureable snow in Tennessee.  I just love  to watch it fall; I'm like a little kid when it comes to snow.

This card uses Sketch 1 from 2011 from Christmas Challenges with Sketches.  I used numerous snow designer papers.  Also in the layering is a die from Cheery Lynn Designs called Mexican Tile.  This diecut can be used for so many things.  I think it is perfect for a snow theme as it is like a snowflake, so lacey.   In a couple of the corners are dies from Corners F from CLD.  The theme for the CLD this week is Happy Holidays with Layering.   Highlighting the card are a couple of snowflakes from Spellbinders.   These were cut from glitter paper.  The image in the middle is a couple of stamps from Stampin' Up.  It is colored with Copic markers and the glittery snow is Stickles.

The third challenge for this card is Our Daily Bread Designs' Snow and Snowflakes challenge, the theme for my card.  I did not have any of their winter-type stamps so I used the word Blessings from their Christmas Blessings stamp. 

ABC-Anything But a Card

Just Some Lines is having their second week of ABC-Anything But a Card Challenge.  Won't you come over and join?  There is a freebie posted also. 

For my sample I made a little gift card holder using the Just Some Lines Reindeer image.

A Little Bag of Goodies

Just Some Lines is having an ABC (Anything But a Card) challenge.  So I made a little bag of goodies  The M&Ms are in a small cellophane bag and I made a cover for it.

There is a freebie there for you to use if you wish, so drop on by.

A Tiny Baby is Born

When I saw this digital at Create with TLC, I knew I had to have it. Even though the image is a square, I think it works well on a circle diecut.  I printed it directly on the cardstock.  I used the sketch found in this week's challenge at Christmas Challenges wih Sketches.

 

The base card is 6 x 6 and the dark designer paper is actually a print of holly and berries.  The goldish=green pattern "paper" is really a piece of walpaper that was the perfect color to blend with the beige scalloped circle.  The strip on the right needed to have a folded corner.  Therefore I cut a triangle of the dark designer paper and added it to the folded walpaper making it look like it is doouble-sided.

 

My "Merry Christmas" sentiment is on a matted oval.  As a final touch, I added silver ornate stickers on some of the corners and a couple of strips of silver to hold the pieces together.

Noel Challenge

This card is for Our Daily Bread Designs' word challenge of "Noel".  Here are my word ingredients.
N is for "New" as this is a new ODBD stamp.  I recently ordered it and I haven't had a chance to use it before.  O is for "Odd" as this is an odd earring being used for the center of my flower. I do not  have a match for it.    E is for "Embellishment" .  I used some sticker flourishes as an embellishment to the card.  L is for "Lace"  The entire background of the card has been covered in old lace.  The scan doesn't show it, but the card is reaally delicate looking..

 If you have a chance, join in the challenge.  But hurry as there is only a little time left ato enter this Shinning Light Challenge.
