Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #11 - Christmas / Hanukkah

Good evening everyone! I am a bit behind getting my project posted. My hubby just had surgery. He had both wrists done for Carpal Tunnel and his trigger finger fixed as well. I've been playing nurse :)  So! I apologize for posting late and I hope to see you joining in on our challenge :)

Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #10 - Thanks / Thanksgiving / Thank You

Good morning everyone and Happy 10th of October! Today is the start of the October Challenge #10 at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. This month we would like to see some Thanks, Thank You, even Thanksgiving cards.  We have some amazing sponsors this month.. as we do each month :)  Our sponsors for Challenge #10 are:



Please be sure to visit the fantastic sponsors and show them some love. Where would we be without our wonderful artists? And thank you sponsors for sponsoring with Open-Minded Crafting Fun. We truly appreciate you and all you do for our crafting community.

Wow.. it has been a while since I've been able to craft or post or anything. Working 60+ hours a week will do that to you I guess. I did manage to get this finished this month:








I have used Owl Bet It's Fall from The Stamping Boutique. I printed the image on kraft and conored with my Prismacolor Pencils. I used My Favorite Things die cuts for the shaker part at the bottom, the leaves and the oval around the image. I've added some inking on some parts of the card. Thanks So Much was stamped and then I also added some dew drops. I decorated the inside with additional inking and leaves. Thanks for taking a peak!

Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #6 - Seasons/Holidays

Good morning!! Happy 10th of the month!!  Today is a new challenge over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. We are on Challenge #6, which has a theme of Seasons/Holidays. You can create anything for any holiday or any season. I can't wait to see what everyone creates! We will hopefully have a wide variety of items!

Our wonderful sponsors for June are:



We love our sponsors!! Please sure to show them the love!! They are so appreciated for all they do! Thank you!!

This challenge was a perfect excuse to create a Christmas card :)  So, that is exactly what I did:










For this one I started with my image from DigiStamps4Joy - Nativity Globe. The image was colored using Copic Markers. I did a bit of layering as well. I wanted to create a shaker with it, but then what to do with the shaker. I decided to put it on an easel card. The background of the globe image was created using Distress Ink. I created the snow flakes using Copic Opaque White. I've added some seed beads, star sequins and gold and white sequins on the inside of the shaker. I used some Wink of Stella on the star at the top. I've used all paper scraps. The metal tag says Merry Christmas and I've used some Alcohol inks to color it. I have also added some doodling on the bottom panel. I also doodled "a Savior is Born".  I also added a couple of rhinestone stars there as well. There are some stickers on the sides - the cross and the poinsettia. I added a bit of ribbon as well.

Copic Markers Used:
    • Manger: E31, E35, E37
    • Hay: Y00, Y21, Y32
    • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
    • Blanket: E0000, E000, E02
    • Star: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19
    • Base & Globe: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19, YR23

For this one I have used The Little Dragonfly from Julia Spiri Stamps. I have no idea where I picked up this awesome flower scene. It is just loaded with tulips. When I saw it I thought it would be perfect to put her flying above them. I colored everything with my Copic markers. I have used a couple of die cuts and everything is done with scraps. I also added the ribbon, the small pearls on the butterfly and the small star gems that I purchased from Etsy. I have done a bit of image layering on this and there is my favorite technique... well one of them! I love decoupage, layering my images.

Open-Minded Crafting Fun March Challenge #3 -- St. Patrick's Day / Good Luck

Good morning everyone! And a very happy Thursday! This week has been a busy week at work so far, but I have gotten a lot done. There has been lacrosse practice, but no games since Monday. They have a tournament this weekend though. Hoping for a quiet weekend other than that. Have a great Thursday and rest of your week!! 

Today is the 10th and it is our third (3rd) challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. This month we have a challenge of St. Patrick's Day or Good Luck. We have some great sponsors for March. Here they are with a HUGE thank you from all of us! Thank you so very much!





And here is my creation:








For this card I wanted to get away from St. Patty's and away from green to show we want to see all kinds of good luck creations. So, I went with red and black using this amazing KennyK Stamps image - Happy Hour. I've cut around the image with a My Favorite Things die. I've added some black ink slightly around the edge. I've added some twine and pearls. The Good Luck is stamped.I've used a negative cut on the inside and added some black and white pearls to bring it all together. The image was colored using my Copic markers.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Dress: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9; R20, R22, R24, R29

It's All About Love At Open-Minded Crafting Fun

Good morning everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!! My daughter had her second eye surgery yesterday. It is a laser surgery, so it is a really quick surgery.

Today is the 10th, which means it is time for the next challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. And that is what my post is all about today. All About Love doesn't have to be Valentine's, it can be anything about love. How about a wedding card or an anniversary? I know I never seem to hang on to Anniversary cards. Our sponsors for our February Challenge - All About Love are:



And now for my card:







For this card I have used Cupido from Zuri Artsy Craftsy. I've colored this cute little Cupid with my Copic Markers and I've made this box card, which was cut with the Silhouette Cameo. All of the papers are scraps. I've used some negative heart cuts from another die edge that I cut for a different card. I've added some dew drop and gems to the box as well. The XO is covered in gold glitter. The wings of Cupid are covered in clear Wink of Stella. The hearts, lips and mustache are all inked with distress ink; as is the red card stock of the card base. This is my 2nd card box. This one came a bit easier than the first I think. I will definitely try a couple more of these. I think they are really fun!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Wing: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23
  • Arrowhead and Pants: R43, R46, R56
  • Eyes: B00, B04, B06
  • Bow: E30, E33, E35, E37
  • Hair: YR20, YR24, E35, E37
