Crab Door Hanger

Happy Tuesday!!

 

I wanted to share with you a door hanger I created at my son's request.  I try and create hangers for the kids' bedroom doors to keep the second floor festive and friendly.  =)  My son requested a door hanger with a crab on it.  So, here's what I came up with.

 

 

Since my son wanted a crab, I used the Under the Sea file set from Scraptastical Kreations.  (The shark and crab are in this set.)

 

I used the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge sketch as my beginning inspiration.  Thought I could use the crab as the focal point...and it just went from there.  The faces for the crab and shark from Peachy Keen Stamps Everday Character and Winter Face Assorments.  For the shark's eye, I used the 3/4" bird face from the Winter Face set, the left eye only.  Then I inked just the eyebrow so that I could angle it just right.   The crab's eyes are from the 1" bird face and the smile is from the 1 3/8" Everday Character set. 

 

I used Scraptastical Kreations Element Me This file for the banner and the embossed shaped.  The hanger looked quite plain so I toor some strips of paper to create 'waves'.  I inked the edges in red and accented with waterfall Stickles.  The stars and fish eye are also waterfall stickles.  I used twine to help bring it together.

I am posting today as a guest designer for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is 'Pun'.  The sponsor is Carri-abusybee from DoubleClick.  The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.

Here is what I created for this linky party....

A trifold card....

 

 

 I haven't made a trifold card before.  And I found a great file from Debbie of BudJuiced by Debbie in a fb group.  It made creating the card so much easier.  The file she created can be used with my Silhouette Cameo.  No hand cutting!  Thanks Debbie!

 

I created this card with the April PKS Stamp Club set. The jar, fireflies, jar cap, and sentiment are all from the set.

All that Stickles Icicle Linky Party

Happy Saturday!

Today starts a new linky party at All that Stickles.  Our theme this party is Icicle. 

 

Create ANY crafty project with Icicle Stickles and link up at the party

 

 

 

I created a dew drop holder. 

 

I upcycled a bullion jar for this project. 

 

For the tag, I used a cut from the Robin's Nest Outdoors Tag kit.

The tag has a glossy side and a carboard side.  I chose to use the cardboard side.  It would take the ink better. 

 

 

I used distress inks to color the non-glossy side and added dew drops from the kit to accent. 

I just wrote Dew Drops with a copic multiliner. 

 

 

I added Icicle Stickles to the tag and spray painted the blue lid gold to better coordinate with the tag and ribbon.

Happy Wednesday!

 

I wanted to share with you a card I made inspired by the Get Inky! Bling Challenge.

 

 

 

I used the Sew Sweet Cupcakes from Get Inky! Stamps for the cupcake and the Happy Birthday sentiment. 

 

I stamped the cupake twice, once on white cardstock, and once on patterned paper.  I cut the 'wrapper' out of the patterned paper to use as an overlay. 

 

 

 

I colored the top of the cupcake with a light colored copic.  Then I stickled the paper and outer edge of the top of the cupcake.  The sentiment banner was created by stamping the sentiment with Memeno ink.  I cut the edges with a pair of shaped scissors.  Then I inked the edge with fluid chalk and finished it off with matching Stickles. 

 

Get Inky!'s challenge is live until the 27th.   The winner could receive this stamp set....

 

 

So be sure to head over and link up your creation.

I try not to make cards for hops, but I just love how this one turned out.  I used Paper Nest Dolls Bride Ellie image.  I really enjoyed coloring her.  Between her long hair and the folds in the dress, I could get really creative.  For the bit of blue, I used a blue mat, colored the ribbon and some flowers, and Stickles (of course). 

My 'new' addition are the pearls.  I won a GC from Miriam's Crafting Supplies and this is one of the many things I was able to get.  =)

My creation.......................

 

My 13th wedding anniversary is this month.  So I thought it would be fun to create this vintage card with my husband in mind.  He's a Navy veteran and when I saw this image, I knew that this was the type of feel I wanted for this card.

I made a shaped card for my little boy's birthday.  He'll be 5 this summer, and as all little boys do, he LOVES monsters.
