The digi is from The Stamping Chef....

I coloured it with copics..added some bling...

I put it on an easel card .. the sentiment is one I found on the internet.

 

The second project is my twist on NO SOCKS DAY.  I can't wait for the warm days to get rid of my socks and wear my flip flops all the time......
It is a mini album made into a flip flop...
The file is a bap from Creative Kuts.... I just modified it abit ..
cut out two sets of flip flops to make more pages.. and added some ribbons and
bling and brads.

 

My 3rd project is a card made with a hopping frog....Frog Jumping Day!
It's a birthday card and the sentiment is Hoppy Birthday!! The frog is on an
action wobble so it goes back and forth ...
The card itself is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 ..
I used some spellbinders dies and a sketch I found...

The Stamping Chef ---- Animal Love Challenge

Join us at The Stamping Chef for this Wednesday's Challenge Animal Love.

I did an older digi called Chick Song.. I loved this file as soon as I saw it.

I used an embossing folder on the main card.

The Stamping Chef New Releases

Happy Tuesday! Today at The Stamping Chef there is three new releases!

They are all great! I really enjoyed making these cards and colouring the digi's.

I actually did two of the three.

 These two cards have been entered into a few challenges also...
My first card is called Birthday Bash...
you can find the image here
I coloured with copics and add stickles
and the balloons have glossy accents on them.
The happy birthday is computer generated!
I embossed the corners to add dimension.
I just used my MS scoreboard for this..
Then I rounded the corners.
I usually ink the edges of everything but this time I
thought I would distress them for once.
The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 183.

This card is entered into 3 challenges

My second card is Beary Birthday.

He can be found here.http://thestampingchef.oo.gd/index.php?route=product/product&path=89&product_id=227

This bear is adorable.

I coloured him with copics then added glossy accents.

I then used a small star stamp and stamped on the one side

of the bear.. I also inked his edges.

The celebrate is computer generated.

I used spellbinders dies for teh sentiment.

I also used some bling on a roll.
