Birthday Challenge - with Kitty Bee Designs

Hey there.
It's time for another Aloha Friday Challenge with Kitty Bee Designs. Challenge #81 is themed "Birthday" and the awesome sponsors are...

 All Dressed Up Stamps - https://www.etsy.com/shop/alldressedupstamps

and

 Make It Crafty - http://www.makeitcrafty.com/

*******

I used an really cute image from Make it Crafty called "Carlie with Flowers".
She is colored with my watercolor pencils (as usual nowadays) and gave her a bright blue dress :-)
I used happy colored patterned paper and sewed a bit for some cute contrast. I also added some lace to the flowers in her hand and the same kind to the flowers in the bottom corner.

September Blog Hop - with Pretty Cute Stamps

This hop is a 1 day hop and is live all through Wednesday 21st, 2016 (time zone: CST).

If you came here from Henriette's blog you are in the right place. If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog.

On this hop we are sharing projects featuring the new release of digital stamps that are now available in the Pretty Cute Stamps store.

I'm showing a card I made with the freebie from this release. Don't forget to pick it up at the PCS store! It is called "My Boo" and features the cutest ghosts ever!

For this card I printed and masked the ghost and sentiment. After that the paper got splattered with black, purple and orange watercolors. I matched the watercolors with the paper and the embellishments and I used some transparent straws, one of which got hit with glue and glitter (on the inside) :-)

The prize?

The prize for this hop is a $15 Gift Certificate to the PCS Store. For a chance to win, you must leave a comment on each blog along the hop.

New release + freebie - with Pretty Cute Stamps

It's time for another amazing PCS release!
Yesterday the sneak peeks started in the PCS blog and we are giving peeks today as well :-)
Wednesday (September 21st) is realease day and as usual we celebrate with a one day blog hop. Don't miss it!
And don't miss out on this months freebie - details last in this post.

My sneak peek features two stamp sets: Frankenstein's Monster and his bride ♥
I made the card in all black and white in an attempt to make it look like an old movie. I think I made it - besides from the green in the flowers. Please pretend it's black ;-)

I colored the happy couple with watercolor pencils. The sky is also made with them and I added some silver swirls just because.

I used both of these sets for my card and the totally adorable stamps are available on Wednesday in the PCS store :-D

Anything Goes at Paper Smooches - #3

Ok. Just one more ;-) Here is my third, and last, card for the Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches.

I'm in love with these flowers. The Adorable Array die is so beautiful!

For this card I die cut the flowers out of a distress inked watercolor paper. And again on a plain white one. It's some tiny paper pieceing to put everything back inside the die bit I think it turned out great.

I used the same distress inks for the papers behind the flower and the sentiment to make it all match. The sentiment is from the Paper Smooches "Best Buds" stamp set,

Dimension & Bling

I'm on a roll ;-) I've made so many cards recently and it feels great!

Today I'm playing over at Cas-ual Fridays and their challenge #156:

I used stamps from the Cas-ual Fridays stamp set Ka-Boom. I think it's so fun :-)
I made a background on watercolor paper with distress inks and cut out a square in the middle. I then turned that piece one time to add even more dimension to the card. I stamped the image and sentiment and added some black/gold Wink of Stella to the bomb.

The middle piece is attached with 3D squares on top of the sparkly background so that the gold shows around the edges.

Anything Goes at Paper Smooches - #2

Here is my second card for the Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches.

This is also a CAS card and I made this card similar to the owl card simply because I like it :-)

This time I used two dies from Paper Smooches. I used a cut from the Honey Comb die as a stencil and made the background. And the flower  die is called Adorable Array. I used watercolor pencils to color in the flower and bud and left the rest of the die empty.

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Anything Goes at Paper Smooches - #1

I'm entering an Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches.

My card is very CAS and I'm showing off my new crush. This owl is SO cute and tiny and I just LOVE it ♥ I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers and I hope it looks as fluffy as I was aiming for :-)

The owl and the "hi" is from the stamp set Feathered Friends. The "hi" is just half of the actual sentiment in the set.

My card is made entirely with MFT dies: Stitched Square Frames, Hello There and Jungle Friends. The polka dot paper is from the 6x6 set Fun & Frolic and the cardstock is also MFT :-)
