Crafty Hazelnut's Weekly Challenge 544: Include a bear. 29 May 2021

A new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'Include a bear'

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

If you enter you could win a prize...

Every week a prize is given to a randomly chosen winner - this is the prize this week:

Acrylic stamps

I have made an interactive card today. The bear swings back and forth.

Recipe:

1. White square card blank.

2. Layer of pink card.

4. The image and sentiment are from Imagine That Digistamp a long time ago. I printed them, added colour with markers and then cut them out. I also got the idea for the swinging bear from Imagine That Digistamp. I used a bit of acetate to make the mechanism.

5. Finally I added some extra die cut hearts.

I attempted to take a little video:

Hope you will join in with

The world's abuzz with soccer

This is my make for the DT team of Outlawz

Sunday Songs and Rhymes

For the month of June our sponsor is: KLM Digital Designs with a prize of 2 images!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatysCardEmporium

Note: The theme doesn’t have to be taken literally. You may use any word or phrase out of it for your project.

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

The World Cup

The world's abuzz with soccer

Though I couldn't give a hoot.

I wouldn't even have a clue

For which team I should root.

The bars are packed with rousing fans;

I don't begrudge their cheers,

But I prefer a tennis match

To savor with my beers.

I'd also watch the Yankees play

'Cause baseball's what I know,

Though baseball-haters claim the game's

Inordinately slow.

So while the teams do battle

With the World Cup as the prize,

I'll find a book or other show

To occupy my eyes.

Today I followed the sketch for Tuesday Morning Sketches #607 and I will share this card there.

I started with a white card blank, layering it with papers from my scraps.

The image is Soccer Gnome coloured with markers and a touch of sparkle. The sentiment comes from the same set.

You will find this on the Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge on May 30th.

Happy Crafting!

Color Dare Challenge #446

This is another make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes!

This is today's colour scheme

I have used yellow, blue and grey plus a touch of black and white.

This card is a Quarto Fold Card - Mrs A gives instructions for this (Version 111)

on the Butterflyspot Challenge.

As you can see it comprises an outer 'envelope' with a tag.

The image I used is Merwitch, printed on blue with a little definition using a grey marker.

On the back of the tag I added a finny sentiment - this was just something I had on my workdesk!

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...

Imagine That Digistamp Progressive Challenge

The images and sentiment I have used are from

Imagine That Digistamp May Digi of the Month

I will link the card to that challenge

I have used a sketch that is a UK Stampers Network challenge.

I started with a white card blank and a paper from Leigh SB Designs Japanese clouds printed on pink and trimmed as shown.

The images were printed pre-coloured, trimmed to size and matted on blue. I die cut a number of circles on which to place the sentiment, cut into words and with black distress around each one.

Leigh's Cherry Blossom Mer-Ween Blog Hop May 28

This is my next post for

LeighSB Designs Cherry Blossom Mer-ween Blog Hop

Once again I got up early to join in the Zoom "Craft and Chat" with the UK Stampers Network.

Sheila demonstrated how to make a spinny disappearing circle card...this is my version:

The image is a freebie from Gecko Galz. I added some colour with markers - not sure if I interpreted the image quite correctly! The card blank is a white square matted with teal and gold and with a scribble of Micron pens around the edges. Then the square with the sentiment and the circle on top was added on dimensionals.
