Oddball Friday Freebie #68 Tis The Season

I love receiving the Friday Freebie from Oddball Art Stamps! 

These are available when you subscribe to the Oddball Newsletter.

Watch your email for this week's image - Tis the Season! 

Tis almost the season of Halloween!!



I decided to use the images to add more decoration on my altered box - I have already shown you pictures of how it looks so far:

Today I have added some more elements to the inside left hand side and outside back.

I used a patterned paper from The Other Side by Craft Box to print images from Tis the Season and added extra colour using Copic markers. I then used stitched tag dies to cut the various shapes adding narrow ribbon to each tag. I then stuck them in place...

Happy Crafting!

Outlawz Progressive Challenge August

The August image for the Progressive Freebie Challenge at

 The Outlawz 

is an image called

Stars and Back

from All Dressed Up

I have used the image to make a card, printing it, adding colour with Copic markers and cutting it out with a stitched oval. I then used it in a kinetic card.

The theme for Mrs A's current Butterfly Challenge is K for a Kinetic card and she gives instructions on how to make one here. 

The wheel is as follows but I have just used the fold, Kraft and butterflies.

Here is my card:

 I used kraft to make the butterflies using Stampin Up Beautiful Wings. The base papers 

was from a paper pad from The Works.

I will link this to the Butterfly Challenge #127 and also on the Outlawz website.

Happy Crafting!

Butterfly Challenge - K for Kinetic card

I always enjoy the Butterfly challenge, trying to use some or all of the elements of the wheel including a butterfly. And this year it has the additional challenge of a different fold - always fun to try!

I was delighted when I arrived home from my two months in Australia to find a Butterfly prize!

Thank you Mrs A!!! And I am going to try and use it today...

The theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge is K for a Kinetic card and she gives instructions on how to make one here. 

I have followed the instructions quite carefully apart from using a square die for the aperture.

First I had a look in my papers and scraps to find examples involving Key Lime, Kobe and Kobi

N.b Kobe = Dark Burgundy

       Kobi = Pink Lavender

Here is my card:

I used kraft to make the tags, happy birthday and extra butterflies. These butteflies are ones that I have used so many times over the years (Stampin Up Beautiful Wings) tied together with twine.

I used more twine to knot on the tags and a tie round the spine.

Crafty Hazelnut's Weekly Christmas Challenge #452 Embossing wet or dry

a new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'Embossing wet or dry'.

Do pop over and see the fabulous inspiration from my teamies!

Here's my card... 

Recipe:

1. Kraft card blank 
2. For this card I just took a look in my green scrap folder. I came across a piece of pale green for the first layer - this was run through an embossing folder from The Works.
3. I really liked the scrap of blue/green/brown that I used to die cut the sentiment (a Tattered Lace die from the Advent Calendar a couple of years ago) and the trees (unbranded dies).
4. Finally three greenish gems

I hope you will join the

Watch your email for this week's image - Hey Boo! 

I decided to use the images to add to the decoration on my altered box - I have already shown you pictures of how it looks so far:

This next picture show the front and some of the ATCs and ATCoins that are inside:

Today I have added some elements to the inside bottom:

I used a patterned paper from my stash to print images from Hey Boo! and added extra colour using Copic markers. I then used a variety of stitched dies to cut the various shapes, including the circles to go behind the bottle tops from Blue Zombie

I also made an ATCoin: the bat sequins are shiny purple...

Addicted to Stamps and More Photo Inspiration #355

Here's my make for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More

Do pop over and see my teamies' makes!!

Today we have a photo inspiration!

This is also inspired by our recent trip to Fiji...

Once again I have used snippets of alcohol ink backgrounds to illustrate the sea and a palm tree. I then added a few tiny seashells... The card blank is a photo card blank with a circular aperture and I cut the palm tree freehand.

Hope to see your make in the Challenge!!

I will add this to Pixie's Crafty Workshop Snippets Challenge

Happy Crafting!

Ike's World Challenges # 123 - Hats

Here is my make for Ike's World Challenges!

The current Challenge (#123) H is for hats 


and this is my midway post...

If you pop over to Ike's World Challenges you will find there is a super freebie to pick up...

You might like to use this for the Challenge - but your image is free choice!

I did use this some while ago to make a set of ATCs - but I am already thinking of Hallowe'en!

I used Ike's Witch Silhouette - she is wearing a hat!!

I printed the image on a piece of patterned paper from a 12 by 12 paper pad from The Works. I layered this on a white card blank with strips of brown and skull paper (from my scraps) on the sides. I then added a witch and a hat metal embellishment to finish.

Hope you will pop over to Ike's World Challenges and see the Design Team's inspiration for the current challenge - and join in!

Happy Crafting!
