Hello everyone and welcome to our new Quirky Challenge. It's time to celebrate love and what better way than creating gifts that we want to give. This time I made an tridimensional frame using the flowers for Mom from our amazing sponsor Robyns Fetish.

As you can see, I used foam tape doble side for layers. I also used different embellishments as a gems, wood shapes, sentiment, buttons.



What I did was printed the images in a different paper colors and designs, cut it out the different pieces I  chose for layering and used ink for the edges. I also used the Faber Castell Watercolor Pencil for the skin. Finally, I did the layers and put it on the frame.

You can have a big aperture, or small, or many small apertures, as long as we can see through those holes. They can be apertures in a layer of your card or project, so we can see something underneath, a different colour perhaps, a pattern or words or an embellishment.

LORI

Using the frame template from The Cutting Cafe I added one of my favourite quotes from last year so you can see the quote from the inside and outside.



Hi... for this reminder I chose the flowers of the file Every day shapes window cards.






Hi!!!! For this week project, I chose the tall rectangle window, that is one of the many templates of the file "Every day shapes window card tops", provided by our sponsor. The little cups, teapot and lovely sentiment are from the digi collection "Tea Time" also provided by The Cutting Cafe. I color the digis with different shades of distress inks.









Hi everyone! For this reminder I choose this beautiful flowers  EVERY SHAPES WINDOWS CARDS.    Provided by our sponsor The Cutting Cafe.

To my project, I used the same flower in 3D. I made an oval card. It's decorated with ribbons and pearls. I used also Distress Ink and pastel chalks.




Hello everyone and Happy New Year. Today, I want to share with you this Birthday Card, wish I made using the amazing EVERY SHAPES WINDOWS CARDS, from our sponsor The Cutting Cafe. This time I used the Numbers Window, I used the number 9 and resized it as my central background point in the front of my card. I also used the numbers template, some distress ink edges, ribbon and embellishment.


For the inner card, I used the numbers templates in two different papers, distress ink for the edges and the Feliz Cumpleaños sentiment. This card is inpired in our little one. He is celebrating  his number 9 birthday this year, Thanks God. Have a Great Week!!!

2 month Guest Designer 


LORI



A simple and quick card for the man in your life. Made by hand cutting the squares (using the PDF version of the cutting files for people who don't have cutting machines) from the Cutting Cafe template and adding punched hearts so they show from the outside and the inside.

Here is some more inspiration from the team:



I used Word Bubble Left from the Everyday Shapes Window Card Tops file which I cut by hand, with a sentiment from the Birthday Fun file under the window, and a Monster from the Bunch of Monsters file, haha I see more monsters on Monica's card!

Doris


For my tag I used Window Cards by our sponsor The Cutting Cafe!!







For this week project, I chose one of the Everyday Shapes Window Card Tops provided by our sponsor, with a lot of circles. Those circles were the perfect windows to show this adorable monsters from "Bunch of Monsters" a set of digital stamps also provided by The Cutting Cafe. The lovely sentiment is part of the same monsters set, I traced it and cut it in vinyl.








Hi every body! In this week I made a card, I used EVERYDAY SHAPES WINDOW CARD TOPS. I love the butterflies in the cutting file.





I took the silhouette of butterflies to decored inside of the card. Also, I used Distress Ink, gel pen and a small fabric flower in this project. =)
