For a few months I have been missing my crafting mojo. I am finally getting back into the mood of crafting thanks to a few craft events in September and the challenges run by Kraftin' Kimmie (KK). Here are the challenge submissions I have done so far for the International Scrapbook Day events at KK. I have 1 more left to go along with the weekly challenges so stay tuned for them.
Challenge 1 is a Birthday or Anniversary card. I decided to create a card for my hubby for our upcoming anniversary and challenged myself to use my supplies. Why keep heart paper just for Valentine's day?! My DH is into puns so I think he will like this one! Inside it says "Love Ewe!".
Challenge 2 is Autumn/Halloween. I have to admit that I am not a big Halloween craft maker BUT autumn - now that I can get into! I have to say I think this is my favourite of the challenge cards this round. I started by using Decofoil gel through the Falling Leaves stencil and let it sit overnight to cure. I made sure I threw my stencil right into water and soap so the gel didn't mess up my stencil. The next day I used gilding flakes (in my stash but never used until now!) and rubbed over the hardened gel. The leaves are so pretty in person! Then I used a Spellbinder die to make the sign, basket, pumpkins and paper leaves and edged them all with ink so they looked weathered. The squirrels are from the KK Squirrel Friends! stamp set and coloured up with Copic markers. This was a fun card to create!
Challenge 3 is Make it Sparkly which I will be working on today. Stay tuned!
Challenge 4 is Stencil Fun! I was playing with some pastes this past weekend and when I tried this one out I had to use it with the Snowflake stencil. It is so pretty! It was a quick card to make - stencil on the Glacier Paste and let it dry, stamp a sentiment and then mount both onto blue cardstock and add to a card front. I then added a few sparkly dots beside the sentiment. Simple but beautiful!
