I made this card as a special project for Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot to be included in an article about us in Scrapstreet Online Magazine. What a great magazine! It may well push me to become a scrapper!!
The image I used was the birds with pumpkin birdhouse from Angel's Landing Autumn Tweetings. This is probably one of my favorite sets of Judi's. The image is colored with Copics. Papers are K&Company and Bazzill. Really a simple card but very pretty with the gorgeous image and the Cuttlebug dry embossed panel.
Materials:
You have to admit, this little guy is cute! even if he is a skunk! This weeks assignment to the design team for Angel's Landing was to create a card and to 'finish the inside' . I chose the marching skunk from Marching Band-2. My card is dry embossed with holly branches to match the printed one's, both on the card front and on the inside. I've also done just a little bit of stitching around edges, inside and out. Image is colored with Copics and the forward arm and leg are 2 layers for a 3D effect.




This week's challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot was to create something signifying gratitude or Thanksgiving. We were given Teresa Collins journaling paper kits to use. This was a tough challenge for me. I couldn't very well just make a card with this paper. I opened my kit and was really loving the pink and black papers, but wasn't familiar with the products and didn't know where to begin. I left them in plain sight for days and looked through them every time I walked past them and finally decided to just jump in and create, cutting up the papers, using bits and pieces here and there. It was fun! Felt a little guilty cutting up all those awesome pages of various elements, but I like my finally product. This little mini-book in pink/black will be filled with pics of my four granddaughters, as I am so grateful to have them in my life! (Click on the pics for larger views of the details)




This project also forced me to use my Bind-it-all! I will definitely be using it more! I cut all my pages of heavy cardstock and then bound them with the Bind-it-all. I then cut the coordinating pink cardstock, dry embossed each page with a different Cuttlebug folder and assembled the various parts from my Teresa Collins kit on each page, gluing into place. After it was all assembled, I added buttons, rhinestones and brads to the pages and ribbons and safety pins to the binding wires.
Digital Delights is hosting Digi Day on SNR Card Universe Thursday November 12th from 7PM-8PM CST. Our event will be a "Holiday Cookie Exchange". At that time we'd love you to bring your favorite holiday sweet treat recipe to share. (Everyone will receive a FREE image just for coming to the party.)


Lately, when doing these larger digital images, I find less is more for me. I'm happy with embossed paper and some stitching and not much in the way of embellishments or bling. I like the focus to be on the image itself. I may go back later and write a sentiment in that sail. I love the expression on the owl's face! Need a sentiment for that.



My sample for this set is this ornament shaped card featuring the adorable little penguin and the North Pole sign. I cut the snowflake on my Cricut and then fixed microbeads to it, then outlined in stickles. The red background is stamped with silver snowflakes from this set and heat embossed. I then covered the entire red circle with Versadazzle and heat embossed the whole thing with clear embossing powder. The snow on the sign and the fur on the penguin's hat is white embossing powder.
Don't forget my earlier posts this week for Just Chillin...




I wanted to use these Angel's Landing designs again and decided this time to put them on a 'candy tin' . These are from the Ho Ho Hollydays set. This tin can be used for a gift card, a small gift or candy. Though I bought this tin empty, it's very similar to the Altoids tins we are familiar with except this is deeper. I covered it with a couple of layers of cardstock that I stamped with gold snowflakes and heat embossed, then covering the entire red area with Versamark Dazzle ink and heat embossing the whole thing. I then added a Cricut cut holly shape, colored with Copics and embellished with a few dew drops, also colored with Copics. The image was printed and colored with Copics then attached to the lid, raised a bit off the surface.
The inside top has a layer of paper with die cut and stenciled snowflakes. The inside bottom has a piece of fun-foam.

The main image was stamped and heat embossed then colored with watercolor markers. I cut it out and attached it to the card front, lifted a little off the main card for depth.
I used Core'dinations paper for the green and blue layers, embossing the blue with a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, lightly sanding to reveal the core color. The white cardstock was embossed with a swirls Cuttlebug folder and then a few areas of glitter added. I stitched the edges and added a few white snowflake buttons. Sentiment was stamped with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I added buttons, round in 3 sizes and a dog bone shaped, as embellishments. The round buttons were clear and the dog bone was white until I colored them with a Copic marker. The word Friends is cut on my Cricut.
