Guest Designers

NanaConnie

NanaConnie said: Bugaboo Stamps image "Skull Tree."  It was such a wonderful silhouette, I printed it large enough to fill the entire card front and my only embellishment was the added bits of glitter to the eyes and the pumpkin.  Nice CAS design.

Fit Kitty

For my card, I chose the adorable Strawberry Mouse by Karen Middleton at Sweet Pea Stamps. I coloured this little cutie with Prismacolor pencils and fussy-cut so I could pop him up with foam tape.  I made a fun background with some angled panels.  I started by stamping a leaf cluster with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.  Then I did some ink blending with the same Distress Ink.  I layered red, green, and black cardstock strips and some strawberry-patterned paper strips.  I die-cut the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks in red and added some punny words with my Dymo label maker.  I added a strawberry charm from my stash, tied with baker's twine, and finished off the card with a number of white sequins.

MONICA

For this heart easel card, I´m working with "How to tame the beast", design by Charity Dauenhauer and provided by Sweet Pea Stamps.

GABRIELA

My tower is to the charming CLYDE, who kindly gives us the sponsor BUGABOO DIGI STAMPS !!!!

KEMLY.

Hi! This week my animal magic is the beautiful and mysterious unicorn. In my card, the adorable  Unicorn   of  our sponsor BUGABOO DIGI .

Lyn

For my second card for this challenge I've used the same image as last week, but instead of using light colours I've gone for darker shades and loads of gems and glitter. The papers I've used this time are called 'Neighbourwood'. Half of the 48 sheets are already glittered. There's leaves, acorns, tree bark, flowers, butterflies and sheets with animlas, which I've punched out. The little bottle contains magical purple fary dust! It's a little cord necklace for someone who's a Pisces... There's a little fairy charm attached too!

Unfortunetly my intended Bugaboo card (which was rabbits and elephants on some rabbit rainbow backing paper) got covered in dust after hubby sandpapered the walls in my near empty craft room and worse still, he can't remember where he put my box of Promarkers! So...here's an oldie from last year, featuring a chick and an elephant.

DORIS 

For this card I used the Monster Rose-Colored, and this is a little different because you don´t need to paint, this cute monster is already colored. Just print and cut it. As additional elements I used a button, orange floss and little Love sentiment.

Cazzy

I had to show you this image and sentiment combo, it makes me laugh so much! I've already seen Christmas tins of biscuits and chocolates in the shops! This is called Halloween Christmas Owl Trio from Bugaboo.

This is a very quick Christmas card to follow on from the owls, using Snowflake Silhouette Reindeer  from Bugaboo, to which I added a lilac shadow then covered in glitter film before die cutting.

Here's some inspiration from our Design Team 

First, our guest designers 

NanaConnie

BIG apology to NanaConnie - Cazzy totally forgot to add her gorgeous card! NanaConnie used Lisa Victoria's Snowflake Wonder.
Fit Kitty

Thank you to Cazzy and the Quirky Crafts Design Team for inviting me to be your guest designer!  For my card, I chose a gorgeous image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps called Silhouette - Happy Halloween Cat.  I got really inky with my card! This silhouette image is perfect for an inky background. I blended a spooky sky with Distress Inks:  Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Dusty Concord, and Black Soot.  


I wanted to add some tiny stars with silver embossing paste and Memory Box Starry Nights stencil, but I ended up smudging them, so I wiped them off - you can still see a bit of the silver in places and I thought it left a cool shimmery effect!  I added lots of water drops, a Spider Web die-cut (Impression Obsession), and a number of black sequins. The inky panel was die-cut with Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Border and I mounted it on black cardstock and then onto a white card base.  


Auntie Sue

Today I am so pleased to be GDT this week and have made this card using Charmaine Flannery's Dragon's Keeper- DIGI  from our generous sponsor Sweet Pea Stamps. I have coloured my image with a mixture of Promarkers and Lyra Rembrandt Pencils. Papers are from Laura Ashley and lots of gems, lace, ribbons and die cuts added to embellish it. 


  And now...The Quirky Team.

DORIS

For this magical challenge, I decided to paint the gorgeous Charmaine Flannery's Squirreling Around image, from our amazing sponsor Sweet Pea Stamps. I just used the Spectrum Noir Alcohol Makers and a frame.

MONICA

For me, one of the most magical animals are dragons. For my doctor bag shaped card, I used the lovely Clyde Get Well provided by our generous sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. 

GABRIELA

For my card I chose this beautiful unicorn, reminding me of the horses we know, I would gladly take care of an unicorn in my house.  The image Karen Middleton's Unicorn Heart comes from our sponsor Sweet Pea Stamps.

KEMLY

For this week my card has a beautiful and sweet dragon, 

 Bedtime Moon ,

of our sponsor Sweet Pea. This little dragon takes his time reading bedtime. 

He sits in the beautiful moon. 

This is one of my favorite magical animals !

Cazzy

 This is Hedgehog flower from Bugaboo, hedgehogs are always magical to me, I love it when they come through the garden at night eating bugs, is the ladybug about to be eaten I wonder?

This is Charmaine Flannery's We're All Mad Here, she is beautiful and crazy and has a magical crazy (Cheshire?) cat on her lap, and playing cards flying through the air! 

Lyn - will be late for her own challenge!

Sorry sorry sorry everyone!! I'm here now!!

I love this image by  Sweet Pea Stamps. It's called, 'Time For A Tale.' (Please click on the link to see a really fabulous coloured picture of the image)  I've coloured with Promarkers, added loads of Stickles Glitter, foam lettering, felt flowers, a sewn on button, gems and eyelash wool.

And, because I knew I was going to be late, here's an Oldie from Bugaboo.

DORIS

This is my this week project and this time I used the WINDOW SILL SHAPED CARD SET....TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE from our sponsor: The Cutting Cafe

MONICA

 

I really love to be in my house, it´s one of my favorites places, so for me it´s really "home sweet home". Also Christmas is my favorite season. In my project, I mixed both, using 3d House Set  cutting file provided by our sponsor.

GABRIELA

My House. I love houses with gardens and many flowers.
The cutting file is used 3D HOUSE SET sponsor CUTTING THE COFFEE, thanks.

CAZZY

 This time I made a tall house from the 3d houses set from our wonderful Sponsor The Cutting Cafe, and used the wreath and one of the sentiments, and one of the trees from the set for a Christmas tree. This house is the opening version, the roof opens so I can fill it with treats or a gift for Christmas.

On the back I added a Christmas Sentiment Shape tag which I inked with red on the bottom of the stocking, I love this verse.

Do you like my snow? It is Flowersoft Polar White, the only Flowersoft I own. The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons a long time ago, they have lots of gingham ribbon still.

KEMLY

Hi! In this week I used WINDOW SILL SHAPED CARD SET....TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE from our sponsor: The Cutting Café.

For this occasion I would like to remember that feeling back home, the window illuminated by a candle , which invited into the home. I put the card in a Guaria Morada, the beautiful national flower of my country, which decorate many of the houses and is prized for its beauty.
