Sassy Studio Designs DTBST193 Back to School

It Thursday again so this means there is another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday Challenge over on Sassy Studio Designs Blog It would be great if you could come and join in with this weeks challenge.

Here is my DT creation for this weeks DTBST Theme which is back to school.

I've designed this using my Craft Artist Professional 2 graphics programme from daisy trail and using some for my purchased digi kits I created this background for the 8x8 card and then dragged on the SSD digi image called Bubble Gum Sassy which was then coloured using my alcohol pens.

Ok think that is enough from me now all that is left to say is that I hope to see you over at SSD Blog with your fabulous creations.

DTBST #192 Celebrate Labour Day

Here is another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #192 Challenge the challenge for this week is to celebrate labour day and the theme for this is to create a project relating to a job/profession.

Here is my DT project.

The image I've used is Little Honey's Nurse Honey and coloured with alcohol pens to create this card I've added some clear acetate to the base card after I had embossed it with one of my A4 size embossing folders with a patchwork effect for the boarder I used a tonic boarder punch then added some red line supper sticky tape and applied some coordinating glitter to this. 

After this was done I cut the image out with a spellbinder shape and mounted on top of another fancy spellbinder shape and mounted this onto the front of the acetate and finally cut out a smaller spellbinder shape to mount onto the back of the acetate to cover up my glue then added the greeting's.

finally thanks for stopping by.

DTBST #191 ATC

Here is this weeks DTBST challenge its a very straight forward one this week as the theme is ATC  cards so create a card either ATC size or even a card incorporating ATC within it.

There is more information on this over on Sassy Studio Blog.

Here is what I've come up with for my DT creation again this is something I don't really have a talent for creating so please bare this in mind and be kind lol. 

Ive created the ATC using my graphics programme my

 craft artist professional 2 from Daisy Trail using my digi kits to select which papers I wanted to use to create a collage type effect then added the greeting within the same programme and highlighted the edges of the letters in white finally added Sweet Talk Sassy who I've coloured with alcohol pens to give me the finished result you see in the picture above.

Finally I hope you will join in with this weeks challenge and have fun.

Make It Crafty FB DT Call Out

I've made this to enter into the MIC FB DT Call Out I do love MIC images but do find them more of a challenge to colour so with practice practice who knows what my capabilities will be,this is yet another reason I love Zoe's Designs, because they push you to get creative and to just keep trying because even thou I love all her images there are some I would never have dared try to colour a while back but now with my ever improving confidence I've come back to MIC images and I'm loving them, just must remember to take it slowly and to colour a section at a time then move onto the next section rather than trying to do a area that is to big at once.

So to create this card I've cut some white super smooth card stock to 7"x 7" inked up a A4 size mask with Tim Holtz perfect medium ink placed onto my card on top of my plate for my ebosser machine and run through this machine to transfer the ink onto my card stock then added some cosmic shimmer purple embossing powder heated with my heat gun to set then added Tim Holtz Spun Sugar ink over the whole of the card which finished off my background.

 Once this was done I cut out the fancy border from a spellbinders die called scalloped borders two using white card then again added some Tim Holtz Seedless Preserve ink to the cut out border which I've attached together in the middle as had to cut out 2 separate borders and stick together then trim the excess off once this was done I then added some 

Crafters Companion Stick & Stay Spray Glue ( Red Can ) and sprinkled some clear extra fine glitter on top to create my own glitter card. I repeated this process for the spellbinder corners and greeting tab however I used purple card for this not white which has given me a slightly different colour for the contrast.

Anyway that's it from me for now so just need to say thankyou for stopping by and showing a interest in my post today, and to wish me luck for the DT Call I've got all my fingers and toes crossed eeeeek.

Finally I would like to wish everyone else who is applying for the FB MIC DT Call Good Luck.

New Baby Boy Mulberry Wood Image Card

I've made this A4 size new baby boy card using crafters companion Hunkydory Mulberry Wood card kit for a friend I used to work with that has just had her second baby boy.

I've created the greeting baby and nappie pin by using a metal 

Marianne Creatables Baby And Nappy Pin Die and running through my die cutting machine then added some 

Crafters Companion Stick & Stay Spray Glue (Permanent) Red Can

And added some extra fine clear glitter on top to create my own glitter card this was repeated on the blue base mat layer on the card base as well as the mat layer under the mulberry wood topper. Finally the polka dot card is some hunkydory adorable scoreable that I then ran through a 

Crafters Companion A4 Size Embossing Folder (Patchwork Quilt)

I do hope that they will like it.

Thanks for looking.

Sugar Nellie Stamped Manga Girl #1 Image

Here is a 8x8 size card that I've created for 

Crafting Musketeere Challenge #4 and to enter it into there DT call to have a chance of being selected to become a new member on there DT all exciting stuff.

Anyway here is my creation.

I used three different embossing folders from Crafters Companion to create the base background the matted layer with the buttons and the doily shape embossed with a dotty embossing folder after used my Martha Stewart doily circle punch which was cut at 6" and cut in half I then sanded all the raised embossed areas on all the various layers and mounted onto my card.

The image is Sugar Nellie stamp called Manga Girl #1 which I've coloured with my spectrum noire alcohol pens from Crafters Companion circle and fancy edge have been put through my ebosser and cut out then inked circle with Tim Holtz spun sugar ink for the fancy spellbinders die ive cut 4 out sprayed all with some of crafters companion Stick & Stay Spray Glue then added some clear fine glitter and the attached them individually around the circle die to give the glittery doily effect.

Finally as I said above im entering this into the crafting musketeers challenge and for the DT Application.

So here is a little bit about me I've been crafting now for around 7 years ever since I was getting divorced and its just grown from there so much so its taking over my front room lol, that having been said I've not looked back since and just love it and can't get enough of anything paper crafting you never get bored as there is always something new to try and as a crafter im quite versatile and love trying new things even if they usually go wrong at the beginning that's all part of the fun of it.

I've been lucky enough to be on sassy studio designs, design team since September 2012 which is the first ever DT I've been a part of but love every minute of it and it helped encourage me to design items that are out of your comfort zone.

Right think that is probable enough from me now but please do leave a message if you have any questions at all and I will be more than happy to answer them for you.

Have a good day everyone and good luck.

Carrie
