You do too much... - CSCC68
Well, I hope you are having a great Sunday. Mine is going well. It has been a pretty quiet weekend around here and so I took the opportunity to try out the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #68. The movie for this challenge is Spiderman. Now, I have seen them all and I like them. But this one challenge did present me with some obstacles. My mind was set on using this quote from the movie, "You do too much. You're not Superman you know," Peter Parker's Grandmother said this to him. I know the movie is sort of a drama, but after all, it's based on a comic book. So I went for the comedic side of it. The little super hero is a stamped image from My Favorite Things. I stamped him once in his regular state on white cardstock. Then the twist in the challenge was to use a little or a lot of acetate. So I stamped his super hero costume on the acetate and then used Copics to color. I cut my spider with my Cricut and colored with Spica. The web is an embossing folder, but it was a rak I. I highlighted the web with my glittery silver gel pen. The little boy was adhered directly to the web. The acetate is attached with red brads. I like that it is transparent, that way you can see the little boy behind the costume. The spider and the sentiment are raised off the acetate with foam dots. The base of my card is from Basic Grey.
This is the sentiment inside my card...

Happy Easter - PCPCUTTLEBUG-ERS Challenge #62 & C4C26
This card was created for Crazy4Challenges #26 (it's all about texture) & for my PCP CUTTLEBUG-ERS Group Challenge #62. I asked the group to The challenge is to make a Nestie Pop-Up card. Using Ikki's POP UP CARD tutorial. For my card I used the QuickKuts Egg die set and one of the dies from the Balloon set. The cardstock is from Crate Paper. This cardstock is two sided; one pattern and one solid. I ran pieces of three different patterns through the Cuttlebug cutting vaious sizes and then using the Victoria embossing folder. I layered them on top of each other. After embossing I used some Encore Metallic Inks in matching colors on the eggs.
Be sure to tag your creations with the tag: pcpcuttlebug62

Time/Happy Easter was created for Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #27, Squigglefly Digi Day Fun sketch, Everybody Art Challenge #79 and my Cuttlebug-ers Challenge #61. The image is a Squigglefly image I colored with Copics. The Happy Easter sentiment is from Stampin' Up! The bible verse Ecclesiastes 3:1 is from Close To My Heart. Pattern papers are from ki Memories Classic Prints paper pad. Flowers are from JoAnns. Flower border is a cardstock strip from Bazzill Basics Paper - Just the Edge.
It was 56 degrees here in North Texas today. Tomorrow we'll get into the low 60s before it turns colder and we start getting more snow!!! So in light of this forecast, I am asking you all to 'GO SPRING'!
I'd love to see pale pinks, purples, blues, yellows and greens, flowers, butterflies, bees, sweet chicks/cheeks! Anything Spring like. No requirements as to whether you use ef or dies. Just stretch your imagination and 'GO SPRING'!
Have a great time with this one. I am hoping to see some lovely pastels that will warm the coddles of my heart in my chilly days ahead!

hoppy Easter - Squigglefly Digi Day Fun!
This little cupcake and bunny image is a digi and I printed it 3 times and cut and popped up different pieces to make it 3D. The image originally had a heart on the end of the little stick. I used my QuickCutz Nesting Balloons (smallest size) to cut the egg for the stick and the cover sentiment. I cut them on white cardstock and colored them with Copics and silver glitter gel pen. The plaid paper is from the ki Memories paper pack I got for Christmas from my girls. The pink & yellow cardstock are from Stampin' Up! The border punch is from EK Success. The ribbon was from another Christmas gift (the ribbon was tied around a set of dish towels and pot holders).

Feelin' Groovy! - Friday Sketchers #90 & TPE Use Ribbon
Inside:
Meet Gidget! She's comin' your way to cheer you up when you aren't feelin' too "Groovy". I used these hip pattern papers from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey paper pad. These patterns lend themselves well to a 70's (RETRO) themed card. And when your sick or hurt or just feelin' icky, what better way to perk up than with this cutsie image of the 'Gidge'? I'm sure Moon Doggie is howlin' bout now! :O)
It's a 2-fer as I also used it for The Pink Elephant Challenge #54 USE RIBBON.

hello - TCPTUES97
That's what Steph says when "she" answers the phone. Well, what a coincidence! That's what I say too! :O)
Steph is a digital image from InStyle Stamps - The Retro Collection. I just love the images in this collection, I'm a child of the 70s. Heeheehee.
This card was created for The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday Challenge #97.
My image is colored with Copics. It was cut using my Creative Memories oval cutting tool. Then it was matted with cardstock from Stampin' Up! and DCWV. Finally I matted it on a piece of Ivory/Creme Stampin' Up! cs that I ran through my Cuttlebug using the Top Note die. I used my Copic marker to color in the portion on the Top Note piece that is on the outside of the perforation. Flower is from Petaloo. Sentiment is a sticker from Deja Views.

happiness Always - PCP CUTTLEBUG-ERS #60
She did her card a little differently but for the most part the directions are the same.
Below are my instructions following Ikki's guidelines.
First I used the D'Vine Swirls folder across the card embossed, lightly inked and added 2 score lines.
The 2 half circles DO NOT OPEN. They were made by cutting the 2nd largest scalloped circle, which I embossed with the Victoria folder and slightly inked and matted on a piece of light blue I cut with the largest pinked circle die. Then cut in half. By punching 2 eyelets and joining together with ribbon from the scalloped edge - you get the effect that it will open. I stamped the "happiness Always" sentiment using the Whimsical Words set from Stampin' Up!
Ikki also says, "If you used vellum or a lightweight paper you could wrap a full circle round the card."
So PAPERCRAFTPLANET CUTTLEBUG-ERS CHALLENGE #60 is to emboss, emboss and cut...

Clueless - Cinema Saturday66 & Crazy 4 Challenges24
Lewis was created for the 66th Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. The movie spotlighted this week is Clueless and the extra challenge is to use plaid somewhere. Well, I used a tiny little bit on the tag, however inside I used a larger piece of the plaid behind the cocoa colored cardstock which holds the sentiment, Like Totally! I also used the Crazy4Challenges#24 theme this week which is RED.
My base is from Crate Paper. The pale blue - ish cardstock is from DCWV The Doodlin' Around stack. As is the pattern paper that is on top of that. Lewis is a digi from Prairie Fairy Designs and is colored with Stampin' Up!, Copic and Spica markers. The sentiment is computer generated.

Jazzy's Paper Designs Challenge #3 - Sponsored by Simple Doodles.
Here's my card sorry it's dark. :O( I am STILL having camera issues. My heart card is a gate fold. My card opened, with inside sentiment.
DEETS:
1. Using my Scor - Pal and an 8.5 x 11 inch pice of white cardstock. I scored at 2.5and again at 6.75 inches. Fold. Then I trimmed the excess away from the two flaps so that they would meet in the front middle. Then I ran my cardstock through my Cuttlebug with my largest Spellbinders Nestibilities Heart. **** Note if you attempt to make this card, be careful with the placement of the Nestie on the edges of the cardstock, you need to have enough room to create your hinges. Don't Cut Them Off! :O)
2. I used a piece of decorative paper and the next smaller Nestie and ran it though the Cuttlebug. Then I cut it in half and this made my card cover.
3. I printed my digis from Simple Doodles; the bee and the sentiment and big red heart inside. I colored the bees with my Copics and I added some silver glitter gel pen to the wings and some gold Spica to his belly and to the inside sentiment. My little bee is suspended on wire. 4. I cut a blue heart from the next smaller Nestie and then I also used it to cut my inside sentiment. I layered the white on the blue and layered them both on top of my Simple Doodles heart. The heart had three little black dots on the lower right hand side, I punched holes and added 2 white and a black brad. I used the gold Spica to drip honey on my sentiment.
5. I embellished the front flaps with my Simple Doodles Bee, Imaginisce flowers, rhinestones and some stickers from Keep in Touch kits.

Happy Birthday - Masculine for Taylored Espressions Sketch #100
Now to my card. The Fleur De Lis is from Layers of Color Stamps.
Shhhhh... it's a digi! I colored it with my Copic marker #YG63. Then I used Close To My Heart distressing ink Chocolate on the image and on the CTMH decorative paper. I matted my image on a chocolate brown piece of Bazzill that I punched with my scalloped circle. The sentiment is Stampin' Up! I used 3 decorative brads on the lower right and attached my sentiment frame with one more. The copper paper is a found piece, {it came with a gift card as a Christmas gift}. I ran it through my Cuttlebug using my Fleur De Lis eb folder.

Happy Birthday - LLWWC25
Today's card is pretty simple and fairly basic. I used a FREE digi from Layers of Color. There stamps are very ornate and just plain GORGEOUS!!!
I felt this bird had a hippy style feel to it so I used lots of color. Everything you see is Stampin' Up! except got the rhinestones. The card is for my niece Jenny's 30-something birthday which is tomorrow and my card will be late. Jenny sings lead vocals in a band in Austin, TX. I think this image suits her!
Deets: I used the Top Note die and cut out the center of the kraft cardstock for a frame. Then I cut the same die into my pink cardstock. Then I tore away long the perforation. I matted the pink on the piece of kraft. I added my stamps and heat embossed. My bird was popped up on dimensional adhesives. I used the heart border punch along the edge and I used the excess from the pink I behind the little hearts. I added some rhinestones and VOILA!
My card was created for the La-La Weekly Wednesday Challenge #25. Lisa Hjulberg has a whopper of a challenge for us--NO DESIGNER PAPER! You can do it!!

Friends - CSCC65 & SS89
This one was created with a kit I bought from Peachy Cheap - Basic Grey Granola. This kit came with stamps, rubons, pattern paper and brads. I used a little of everything on this card. There are quite a few rubons. The sentiment is a rub on as are the little flowers and leaf on the left hand side. The focal point - the flower is two stamps - one is the dark blue and the other is an off white to show the petals of the flower. The background for the flower is a rubon. The heart is a little charm from an old bracelet.
This card fits 2 challenges: 1. Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #65 (with a heart) & 2. Sketch Saturday #89.
Thanks for looking.

PCP Cuttlebug-ers#59 - Crayon Resist
I used the Victoria embossing folder and a metallic gold crayon. I embossed the white cardstock, then I rubbed the crayon all over the raised areas. Then I used my ColorBox Cat's Eyes in heliotrope and lime. I smudged them all over the raised areas. Once I accomplished the color pattern I wanted I went back with a soft cloth and wiped away excess ink. Then I took my heat gun and heated the crayon (not too long), just so it melts a little and leaves a nice glossy sheen. Then I used the same inks and stamped my flowers. I used the same inks to smudge the white cardstock behind my flowers and rubbed the heliotrope on the edges. I punched half of the 1" circle from the image cardstock. I punched a circle with my 1" circle punch. Then I edged it with purple and added my rub-on. Then I punched several more of the circles and layered them to raise my sentiment. Lastly I added the purple checked ribbon and little purple heart brads.
