Susie Sunshine by Conie Fong

Hi everybody!  A second post by me today.  Miracles do happen sometimes - LOL!  This beauty is Conie Fong's "Susie Sunshine", found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/576266550/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-conie?ref=shop_home_active_86

  I created this DT inspirational card for Conie's current Facebook challenge (theme:  Happy Birthday). She also has a Colouring Only challenge. 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/  

The mediums that I used are Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I decided to make a little scene for this sweet image.  The edges of the butterflies' wings are glittered.       

The large balloon was made by printing out the image in a larger size and added the sentiment before I fussy cut it.  I placed 3-D pop dots underneath the balloon, and finally tied some black cord on the bottom.  My flowers are handmade.   Well, that's all from me today.  Hugs, Lori xx 

Materials and Tools Used 

Top border:  Memory Box "Pristine Border" die (cut twice)

Border:         Martha Stewart "Modern Garland" punch (cut twice)

Fence:          Impression Obsession "DIE004-J Fence" die

Butterflies:   Momenta - Recollections cutting die template 542704 - Butterfly

Flowers:       EK Success "Retro" punches (small and medium)

Ribbon, Swarovski crystals, beads, black cord and  glitter are from my stash.

A very Happy New Year to you!  This is my first DT card this year which I made for Ching-Chou Kuik's brand new 2020 monthly Facebook challenge. The theme is "New Year, New Beginnings or New Crafty Stash".

Angel Wishes by Conie Fong

Hello, crafty friends!  This month's Facebook theme over at Conie Fong's Art and Design Group is "Always Anything Goes" with an option of  "Anything But a Card". 
  https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

This is my DT inspirational project:

I started off with the cute wooden box that houses Brie cheese by President:

I coated the entire box with gesso.  Then, I painted it with purple acrylic paint.  Finally, I applied Mod Podge (matte finish) all over it to seal it.

I used the darling "Angel Wishes" image by Conie Fong, found here in her etsy shop:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/665388540/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-angel?ref=shop_home_active_8

I coloured this beautiful image with Copics and FC Polychromos pencils.  I glued the patterned paper, the image and the frames onto the box and applied Mod Podge over them. 

I wanted the lace (which was white) to match so I dyed it purple with Glimmer Mist, and glued it around the box.  I lined the insides of the box (top and bottom) with white felt. Lastly, I added the flowers and other embellishments and, voila, my finished box!

Here are some other views:

  

I had so much fun creating this altered box.  Hope you have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx 

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame:     Spellbinders "Label 18" dies

Flourish:  Cheery Lynn "Fanciful Flourish" die (small)

Flowers:   EK Success "Gardenia" punch, Fiskars punch (small)

Gesso, Mod Podge, lace, floss, gems, prills, Glimmer Mist, acrylic paint and felt are from my stash.

Little Daisy by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hello, dear peeps!  It started to snow Saturday night in our area and it continued throughout most of the day yesterday.  This storm deposited 18 inches of snow.  What a mess!  Luckily, we did not lose power.  What would I do without my beloved computer and my TV?  LOL!

Delilah by Conie Fong

Hi everyone! I would like to share my first DT inspirational card which I made for Conie's Fong's first Facebook challenge for 2019.  The theme is "Any Kind of Shaped Card".  If you prefer to not use this theme, you can always opt for "Anything Goes".  Conie also has a colouring only contest.  Check it out: contest.https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

I love to make shaped cards.  I used the lovely "Delilah" image which you can find in Conie's etsy shop here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/546518549/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_77&crt=1

So, without further ado, here is my shaped card:

This card opens at the bottom.  Here is a side view:

The sweet image is coloured with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  The flowers and pinwheel bow are handmade.  The pink "frosting" is raised with pop dots.  If you closely, my nail polish matches the cupcake wrapper - LOL!  Pure coincidence!

Card Base:               Free cupcake clipart

Flowers:                   SVG file cut with Cricut

Butterfies:                Printed and fussy cut from Conie's image
