Krafty Chicks Challenge- Sketch


Hi crafty friends!  Sadly, this is my last post guest designing with the Krafty Chicks.  It has been very fun and I don't want it to end.  But, before it does, how about one last fun post. :)  

This week we are playing with a sketch borrowed from Mojo Monday:

Here is my creation using that sketch.  You might have notice a slight twist. ;)


Yep, I flipped mine over horizontally so the smaller circle is on the left.  You might have also noticed I started making Holiday cards.... let it begin!  Now that fall is here, I feel like it is OK to make them. 

Here is how I made this one:
  • I started by stamping out the unicorn and coloring her with my Copics.  I wanted to make sure to make it Christmasy, but non-traditional, so I definitely pulled out the pink.  When it was done, I fussy cut it out and set it aside.
  • Next, I found the DPs I wanted to use that matched.  Most of them are from Doodlebug Designs Christmas Town collection.  
  • I cut the circles using my Hero Arts circle dies.  
  • On the larger one, I stamped the unicorn again.  On the smaller, I stamped the sentiment.  
  • Next, I due cut the larger pink scalloped square with my Gina Marie Die. 
  • I cut the strip using my paper cutter and arranged all the layers together. 
  • I mounted the unicorn on the larger circle stamped version using foam tape. 
  • Lastly, I added some embellishments from Trinity Stamps Bubblegum Confetti Mix.  



Well that's all I have for you today minus the supplies below.  I hope you like this card and hope that you will join us for this week's challenge.  A big thank you to the team at Krafty Chick's Challenge for having me this month in the Hen House.

Krafty Chicks- Thank you


Hey friends!  Another week with another fun challenge over at the Krafty Chicks Challenge blog.  I have really been enjoying my GDT stint this month and the fun gals and fun challenge! This week our theme is Thank You Cards.

I enjoyed making this card, I don't use my watercolors enough.  It was also my first time inking up this Waffle Flower set. Here it is:


Here is how I made this:


  • I started by deciding what stamps from my Waffle Flower Little Painters set to use and laying out my stamps in my Misti.  
  • Next, I laid my watercolor paper inside and using archival ink, I stamped my images.
  • I pulled my image out and used zigs and a water pen to to color the images.  
  • Once it was dry, I ran the colored portion through my die cut machine with my deckle edge die.  
  • I added my sentiment by stamping "you fill my day with color" from a SugarPea Designs set. 
  • I die cut the thanks in both a foam layer and watercolor paper, I used my zigs to create the rainbow feel.  
  • Lastly, I mounted it all on black cardstock.
So what do you think?  A fun card no?  Perfect for a crafty friend. ;)  Also, have you joined any of the challenges yet?  If not, you should, they are so fun!  Head here to link up to this one.
