Double Trouble Challenge #209 Link #2

 

I decided I would enter Double Trouble Challenge again having made this yesterday...

Suzanne mentioned the challenge at Pearly Sparkles but I needed a heart...so I will link this one there...

This is the Challenge #209 at Double Trouble Papercrafting

For this Challenge Thing 1: 3: 2: 1 Recipe

For Thing 3: CAS element

Thing 2: Add card to Try a Sketch On Tuesday #688.

  

I have used a white card blank matted with a Gelli pull and then die cuts of a doily and a heart.

I added black penwork around the edges and a white sentiment.

The CAS element is the pink Gelli pull background although this one is not so plain.

This was going to be a Valentine - but then Valentine's Day is over here so I added a Birthday greeting die cut.

Happy Crafting!

Double Trouble Challenge #209

It's a while since I entered a Double Trouble Challenge so...

I made this for Challenge #209 at Double Trouble Papercrafting

For this Challenge Thing 1: 3: 2: 1 Recipe

For Thing 3: CAS element

Thing 2: Add card to Try a Sketch On Tuesday #688.

  

I have used a white card blank matted with a Gelli pull and then a die cut including a butterfly. I added a further butterfly (second image) placed on more of the Gelli pull and adhered in place.

Double Trouble and TSOT

Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenges 

  is celebrating their 6th Anniversary with Challenge #167.

As usual there are several parts to the challenge but this time Thing 3 involves using a paper bag or craft. Thing 2 means link to one of the previous partners. Because of the latter I have used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday

I started with a kraft card blank matted with a piece of paper bag.

I then added four strips of music paper and a horizontal piece of Designer Paper.

I then added the guitar (Kokorosa die) and the sentiment (from my stash).

I will add this masculine card to the Double Trouble blue raffle ticket

and theTSOT Challenge.

Happy Crafting!

I have made a card featuring papers in the appropriate colours from my stash , ribbon, banner die cut with stamp, a punched circle and the sweet pea die cuts. Finally a couple of embellishments - hopefully a worthy anniversary card!

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...

I used to enter the Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenges regularly - somehow they have gone off my radar. However their challenge #167 is celebrating their 6th Anniversary.

As this card is an Anniversary one I will link it to the yellow raffle ticket...

Happy Crafting!

 

Double Trouble

I made this for Challenge #84 at Double Trouble Papercrafting

 

For this Challenge Thing 1:  for FUN use any paper product from your stash and create an any-occasion girly girl project." 

I used a new paper from Stampin Up called Polished Pink for my first layer on a lilac card blank (also Stampin Up). I printed pinktastic on this using my computer and added washi tape down the side. The image has been initially printed and cut using my Cricut and a matching black mat also cut by my Cricut.  For these I used LeighSB Designs a  Print and Cutz collection for electronic Cutting Machines. I then used markers to colour the image using several pinks and a couple of other colours.

For Thing 3: Add some embellishments.

The flower is a sticker sent to me by a friend this week. I also added the bow and some pearls.

I am pretty sure this is my 15th link up to LeighSB's Christmas in July - I am trying to add something for each of the 24 days...

The image is Leigh's Lizard Boy Elf coloured with a variety of pens including Copics and Wink of Stella in gold and clear.

I will add this to Leigh's Linky. 

I also want to add this to Double Trouble Challenge #62 

On their post it says

Thing 1:  Trouble Maker:
says, "It's 158 days until Christmas and we're getting an early start with Christmas in July! Santa's workshop must be bustling. He's making toys using all kinds of fun tools. Tell us about your favorite crafting tool and use that tool in the creation of your project."

and

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 

says, "Aren't all these busy little elves adorable! Include an elf or a gnome on your Christmas project and earn an additional chance in our random draw prize."  

So I have added an elf and I then started thinking about my favourite tools and what I have used for this card. Of course, I started with my printer for the elf and the sentiment (This is from Imagine That Digistamps). I am so pleased that at last my printer is re-inked!

I also used my stamping platform...

Here I am using it to form the 'Christmas Tree' - using lots of stamps from Close to my Heart Washi Wonder and Versafine Clair in Verdant. I also added a final washi stamp in brown ink for the trunk.

I used my guillotine to prepare the the matting layers. I use this and my Big Shot virtually every day (both definitely amongst my favourites!)

But what I am going to say as my absolute favourite is my pair of scissors... these I couldn't do without! (oh... along with my markers...)

I am also going to add this card to 

Thing 2:  Double Dare 

says, "If you used one of your favorite tools you may link your project to Heart2Heart's "Favorite Tool" Challenge Heart to Heart Challenges - Favourite Crafting Tool

Happy Crafting!
