Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #479

 Hello Hello!  Welcome back.  I have such a far out card to share with you.  I really think you'll dig it and it won't gag you with a spoon!!!  But first let me mention who our sponsors for challenge #479 are.

Lemon Shortbread

Prize~3 Digital images of the winners choice

Twinkle Lane Designs

Prize~£8 store voucher

My dear friends, please remember to go visit and leave some love with each sponsor.  It's a two way street.  They get exposure and we get to show off.  Hope to see you over on their pages.

I have a totally rad card I created using the digital image called 80's in Tulips Girl

from the fantastic Lemon Shortbread Digi Stamps & Pages.  I haven't had so much fun since my disco dancing days.  So here is what I came up with.

This is just the envelope for a very special birthday card for
a very special friend.  I reduced the size of the finished colored
image, fussy cut around it and stuck it on the envelope.  Don't
you just love these shoes.  They are about 3 inches by 3.5 inches.
The best part, they are Christmas ornaments.  

I can't tell you who made the paper.  But I was
lucky enough to remember it in a stack I got at the
thrift store.  I used Prismacolor pencils to color the
image.  Vellum and my SCAL5 to print the sentiment.
The base and layers papers are American Crafts.

The inside used the other half of the thrift store 
find.  More Vellum and printing.  The present is a 
sticker from the last Tuesday Morning haul.

In my opinion, I don't think a card that I have 
made is finished until the back is decorated.  I 
just got this stamp at T.M. and used it to emboss
the saying in Wow Silver.

That's it for challenge #479.  I think I have an idea for challenge #480 but you will have to come back and see!

Please stay safe and healthy.  Brightest Blessings,

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #478

 Can it get any hotter?  Here in Oregon, U.S.A. the past few days have been in the 100's on my back porch.  This is very unusual.  Sure we get maybe 3/4 days of really hot summer weather but not all at once.  Doesn't really matter I just stay in my house with A/C.  It helps make my craft room really nice with all the machines humming.  OK on to todays business.

I have a wonderful creation to share for challenge #478.  Before the reveal let's see who our fabulous sponsor(s) are.

LeAnn's World 101

Prize~2 Digital images of the winners choice

Dr. Digi's HOUSE OF STAMPS

Prize~2 Digital images of the winners choice

Please my dear friends go and show some love to these sponsors.  I will be visiting them shortly.

Now on to my project.  I have used a file from Dr. Digi's called Simon the Seal.

I have also used a file from Simply Crafty SVG's called Pool Party.  Here is what I came up with.

If you guessed a box you would be correct.
All the papers used are made by American Crafts.

Here is the inside.  I use Art Glitter Glue to put
together all my 3D projects.

This confused me when I cut it out with my
Silver Bullet Pro.  It's a ladder!

The paper the raft is made of came from a big
haul from a thrift store.

Now for the lid.  Again I used Art Glitter glue.  It
holds so quickly and dries clear.

I was amazed to find this sheet of 12x12 pool
paper.  Can you say jumping up and down happy!

I printed Simon The Seal onto gray dotted 
American Crafts Embossed paper.  I mirrored
Simon so he could be seen on both sides of the box.

See just the reverse.  I glued Simon together at
his head and then created a tab to connect the 
2 Simons. I also added a pink chalk nose and white
gel pen eyes.

So here is the actual box put together.  I have
to say I love how this turned out.

Here is the back side. I decorated it with some
miscellaneous beach stickers.  

Now can you keep a secret?  This box is for my daughters birthday.  When she was little she had a horrible time with bronchitis.  When she would cough I would call her my little seal.  Hence the gift box with Simon The Seal on top.  (BTW she is all grown up)

So that is it for this week at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge.  I will see you again on August 30, 2020 with another creation.  I hope you stay healthy and safe. 

Bright Blessings,

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #477

Huh?  What is this?  Well that is my big surprise.  I have the honor of being on the design team forPenny's Paper-Crafty Challenge.  With Southern Girls Challenge shutting their doors I had some extra time on my hands.  Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge basically dropped into my life.  I want to thank Tracy Moloney and Linda Mc Enery for this opportunity.  I hope to try some new techniques and improve on my coloring.

So for my first challenge with Penny's (which all challenges are 'anything goes') our sponsor(s) are...

all dressed up

Prize~2 digital images of the winners choice

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize~4 free Bugaboo Images

What great sponsor(s).  Please everyone go show some love.  Without our sponsors there would not be any Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge.  

For the first challenge I chose an image from Bugaboo Stamps called Valentine Girl Elephant Set 02

This is my first slimline card.  Isn't the little elephant 
just the cutest darned thing.  So enjoyed coloring
this little one.  The sentiment was provided by Bugaboo
Stamps.

My card is a slim-line but it is also a diagonal one.
You can find the instructions over at Splitcoast Stampers.

Here is my card fully opened.  The paper used is
very old.  The sentiment for the inside was also
provided by Bugaboo Stamps.

Just a close-up.

I made an envelope and just happened to have an
extra little elephant.

Well that's it.  If you would like any more information please feel free to reach out.  I'll see you in 2 weeks for the next Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge.  I hope you stay safe and stay well. 

Bright Blessings,
