Just for Fun, WCMD and Blog Candy
Happy Saturday! Lots to share so let’s get started!
Time for this month’s Just for Fun challenge with Carole! Once Carole’s ”mystery paper” was enroute, I chose Bikababeabella from Stamping Bella for our challenge. (The paper is ”Mischa” from the Hoodie Line by Luxe…love it!)
Also my fellow stamper, Lynda Benden, who is a member of Our Creative Corner, asked me to be her guest this month. (How fun! Thanks so much, Lynda!) Her challenge for me was to include bling of any kind on a card. Yay…that’s easy!
Dare to be Different
I used my Copic markers to color the image then I added some bling. The entire image is colored with some color of Spica glitter pen.
I used a scalloped square Nestability die to frame the image. I cut two black scalloped squares, cut them apart and then pieced them back together, overlapping one of the scallops on the top and bottom to create a rectangle of the size I needed. (I got this great tip from Susan Liles. She’s one smart cookie. I never would have thought to do that!)
I added Heidi Swapp bling in each scallop, a tiny Hero Arts adhesive crystal on the flower on the bike and the sentiment is embossed in black (for even more shine).
Don’t forget to check out Carole’s project! It’s bound to be fabulous and, as always, I can’t wait to see it too!
WCMD Fun
Not long ago, Paper Crafts Magazine began World Card Making Day as a time to set aside for getting started on all of your holiday cards. As one of the sponsors of this project, Cornish Heritage Farms has some fun challenges, chat and prizes to share today. You can find ALL the details here!
Paper Crafts Magazine has provided to me two copies of their latest publication “Cards, Gifts & More” to share with my blog readers. So here’s what I’m going to do.
One winner will receive a copy of the magazine.
.
A second winner will receive the magazine PLUS an SEI Poppy 12 x 12 paper pack, Bazzill In Stitches stitching templates, Basic Grey Journal Flourish clear stamps, Close to My Heart Library Cards clear stamps, an EK Success ready-made scrapbook album and a We R Memory Keepers double-sided tab dispenser w/refill.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. To keep it fair, only one comment per person please. I will select two winners on the evening of Tuesday, October 7th, approximately 9 p.m. (est) via random number generator. #1 gets the magazine, #2 gets the loot (and the magazine).
Please visit the World Card Making Day website for lots of great ideas and ways you can celebrate this holiday.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend! (”Say it Like it Is” Saturday will return next week!) ![]()
