IT'S A SUNNY DAYS SHAKER CARD!

Welcome to our last Cre8tive Hands Friends post.

Michelle, designer and owner of Cre8tive Hands Friends need to take some time off. She apologizes and her apologies are accepted, of course. Family always comes first and we all know life is life, right?
These are sad news but we have some good news too: Michelle will be offering some of her digi stamps, free of charge for this time being, on her personal blog Cre8tive Hands. Just because she is an amazing individual, kind like no other and has a huge heart.
I wish her the best and I will be counting the days of her comeback.

For today's sad but special announcement I made a super cute shaker card (IMO) with an easel on the back for easy display. 

It is from a summer series Michelle had designed.

I have seen some of my teammates work with some different images from the set and they all look awesome. 

Anyway, here is my take on the assigned image.

Sunny Days

6 x 4-1/4"

I normally do not make this size of cards but my shaker card needed room to shake those pretty sequins. 

Isn't that a pretty font? I used a very thin layer of diamond stickles over the letters.

I used a clear stamp for the sea shells on the bottom left and a couple of paper punched clouds. The acetate used is from an old Recollections pack I have had in my stash for years. (LESSON LEARNED HERE: Never get rid of your old supplies because you never know when they will be needed again, lol).

The image was printed, fuzzy cut and colored with alcohol markers. I wanted the shack to look distressed and fainted from being close to the ocean and I wanted the sun really bright suffering from its own heat. hehe. 

I used a Sizzix die for the easel.

Being almost summer I am enjoying the scenery on this card. The whole series is so refreshing making you dream of palm trees on a nice beach.

I wish many "Sunny Days" to darling Michelle.

 Sad to say the Michelle's Digi Club and Etsy shop will also be closing its doors until notice.

Now is time for you to check the DT projects out and don't forget to follow Cre8tive Hands to cheer my friend a bit. Plus, you can still get some freebies because of her unmeasured kindness to all.

Have a great day 

and

 Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to another 

Cre8tive Hands Friends Digi Stamp Challenge

I Luv my Teacher

3.5 x 4.5"

This time instead using my Cricut Explore for draw and cut, I printed my boy and then cut by hand.

He is approximately 4" tall.

I used alcohol markers for the coloring, used a G-studio paper punch for the tiny squares and clear stamps for the letters.

Perfect for the end of school year!

Hope you can join us again!

Happy seeing some friends of mine joining us, thanks!

The challenges run for two weeks and the theme still "Anything Goes".

Thanks a million for stopping by!

LADIES NIGHT BLOG AND CHALLENGE

Welcome to my Scrap Hut!

My name is Agnes aka flowerdisco and I am of the designers for Cut Cardstock. We offer some serious premium high-quality cardstock among other items.
 We have paired up with Great Impressions, who has some of the cutest rubber stamps and we are inviting you to join us for this fun and feminine
"Ladies Night Blog Hop".
We hope you have a good time hopping with us.

PLEASE MAKE SURE, you check Great Impressions with instructions on how to participate and link.

Parlez-vous français?
(:D) 
I don't but would love to.

Anyway, I won't bore you much with details because you still have one more hop to do but I do want to say most images are from Great Impressions and all cardstock is from Cut Cardstock.

This is "Birthday Diva". She is getting ready for her night out. :)

She is the picture perfect for the hop, don't you think?

Next, it is the "Tea for Two". She will be dining here, "al fresco", later on. :)

The "Glamour Shelf" is where she likes to display some of her french perfumes. 

:)

I am sure she will have a night to remember, :).

Somehow I believe I should write a few sentences about some of the supplies I used. I found the cute cathedral shape in one of my Cricut cartridges. Classic Crest Recycled cardstock and distressed inks were used for the base and scenery. The other two layers were cut on a light brown and a soft pink color cardstocks. I embossed the soft pink cs with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The Great Impressions stamp images were stamped with memento ink, fuzzy cut and manipulated to fit. I colored them with alcohol markers. The mini roses and stars were die cut using metal dies. 

I truly enjoyed working with Great Impressions stamps and I truly love our cardstock.

Thank you all for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed our projects so far.

Next stop is: 

Amber

(our Cut Cardstock team leader)

ANYTHING GOES DIGI STAMP CHALLENGE

hello,
today starts another
Cre8tive Hands Friends
Digi Stamp
"Anything Goes Challenge"

I am using this chick Michelle had sent. I just fell in love with her/him.
It was love at first sight. awe!

Crea8tive Hands Friend challenge lasts 2 weeks.
"Anything Goes" will start on March 24th.

first, let me apologize for the pics, but when is cloudy I have a hard time photographing with my old but still very reliable camera. :)

I used my cricut explore to draw and cut my digi stamp and some 

alcohol markers for the coloring but thinking it twice I should have used watercolors because she is painting and not coloring, but oh well, old brain here my friends. :) these senior moments are killing me, lol.

The background was embossed and colored with pigment inks, the clouds were double stamped with a tiny grid stamp: first in green and then in yellow. 

I like better how the left cloud turned out.

And...the frame, oh! the frame...hehe. 

I have been buying some thin dies when I find them on sale and this one is a Spellbinders. I hope is not too fancy for my chick but I liked it so much and wanted to use it.

here is a close up.
I sat her on some fuzzy fibers that resemble a nest to me.


well, and this is my post for today.
I hope you join us for some fun.

Thank you so much for visiting!
