snowy Tilly

Completing last week's 365 challenge:
This Tilly image is freebie from Wendy's digial doodling, and I put on it cotton woole, to give it the furi look. I colored the coat with glimmer gel pen. the snowflakes were made by me, no machine.. :) and I sprayed them with silver spray, to give them the glimmer look. the round snowflakes are punched. I also embossed and distressed the pale blue cardstock and put under the image vellum. the sentiment is rub-ons.
even though it might give a chilly feeling, I find it quite a warm feeling card. that's it.

It ends November 16th.

My hunged love for you

This hung up challenge at 365 cards was quite hard for me, since we don't celebrate Christmas, so the theme is not familiar to me. We do have one holiday, when we hang up ornament, but it was 2 month ago and I didn't feel like making decoration fot this holiday.
I just crossed this tutorial for a very beautiful heart shaped card (highly recomended to hop and take a look, the have very beautiful tutorials), and was planning to make one for this challenge, but then Tesab was quicker tham me, so I felt I can't make the same card to this challenge (Tesa, once again- I think your heart card is just fab!
So I made a different heart, with a hidden sentiment, seen when you open the heart... It is small enough to be hung over the car's mirror, for example..
I love this color combo, it is so elegant. the swirls are in silver, but it is hard to tell from the photo.
still have tomorrow to finish the last card for this week at 365 cards... (have I already said I'm adicted?...)
האתגר הזה ב- 365cards היה מהיותר מורכבים עבורי. הבקשה הייתה לכרטיס שהוא גם עיטור תלוי, כשהדוגמא הייתה עיטור לעץ חג המולד (למרות שלא הייתה כלל דרישה לקשר לחג המולד). חשבתי להכין סביבון (חחחחח...), ממש כמו שתלוי בגני הילדים, אבל איכשהו זה לא התחבר לי במוזה.
נתקלתי בהדרכה ליצירת לב עם שתי וערב של ניירות מדוגמים (כאן - מומלץ מאד להיכנס, יש להם הדרכות מאד מעניינות), וחשבתי להכין כזה, אבל אז מישהי הקדימה אותי ולא רציתי להכין כרטיס זהה, גם אם הניירות המדוגמים היו שונים.
בסופו של דבר הכנתי את הלב הקטן הזה, שיש בו מסר נסתר כשפותחים את הקשר (ואת הלב...). בגודל הוא מספיק קטן כדי שניתן יהיה לתלות אותו על המראה ברכב, למשל.
and it goes for these challenges:
1. I'm hung up - day #254 365 cards
2. color combo - blue, white and silver - colour create
3. hidden (the sentiment inside the heart) - abc
4. store ad inspiration - etsy inspired (see the photo I chose)
5. doodling - creative inspirations
6. another doodling - creative card crew
7. thinking of you - simon says
8. glittery - cute card thursday
9. recipe - 1 tag, 1 sentiment, 1 ribbon - C.R.A.F.T.
10. tags so much! - my time to craft
11. bling it on - frosted designs

An easel birthday cupcake inspiration, just too late..

I was planning to do this easel card on time, since the web was full with easel cards challenges, but plans are sooooooo good till you come to implement them.. I just didn't plan right the order of making the 365 cards challenges. Well, it doesn't matter that much, since I got to learn this new technique of easel card. for those of you who are not familiar with this technique, here is a wonderful video tutorial. it's amazing how easy it is to make these cards.
I fell in love with these kind of cards, and I'm sure I'll be making lots of them in the future.
I love the outcome - cupcake is one of my fav images, the color combo is also one that I love, and I think that the dp goes perfectly with the colors here.
so it goes for the following challenges:
1. picture this - day #257 365 cards
2. cupcake inspiration - hope stamp eternal
3. punching - the digikitty (the corners of the pp under the cupcake)
4. geting punchy! - la la land (same)
5. dry embossing - just us girls (the whole front was dry embossed - the pp under the cupcake, the cup itself' the 3 layers of the toping), and it was made as a birthday card (Happy Birthday, Dana!).
6. emboss something - die cuts r us
7. embossing - lots to do
8. hand stamp or digi - paper cutz (the sentiment is from new hand stamp I got)
9. feeling a bit distressed - design dollies (the edges of the sentiment were inked with 'really raspberry' pigment ink).
10. buttons - gingersnap
11. digi sparkle - paper take (the pink paper of the layer and the cherry are shimering and I add some glitter touch.
12. glitter my silly -cute card thurday )again)
13. new or neglected - cinspirations - the sentiment stapm is new.
14. stamp something - crafty cradmakers
15. glitter - prosted designs
16. out of my comfort zone - paper manic - not using any flower, any riboon, any rehinestones, just the image on front - that was a challenge for me.

It's a basic strawberry shortcake hat

A hat, she (Pam) said. so a hat she got... It always looked funny to me the big big hat Strawberry shortcake put on her head, since the image is so little. it's as if the hat is the main issue. and if that is so, then there we have a hat...
The photo from Basic Grey was really inspiring and I think I'm going to use it with another card I'm plannig to do (can you guess?...).
and here I'm again with pink, or sort of pink...
This card goes for the following challenges:
1. photo inspiration - basic grey (I used pp & - millweed from indian summer & perlin from bittersweet).
2. put a lid on it! - day # 258 at 365 cards
3. emboss something - die cuts r us (the pp under the image)
4. stamp something -
5 buttons - gingersnaps - supply
6. stitching - my grafico
7. stitching - kraftin' kimmie
8. stitching - Quixotic
9. new or neglected - cinspirations - the stitches were made with my new sakura jel pen.
10. embossing - lots to do (the pp under the image was embossed with a pasta
machine)
11. cards for kids - one stop craft
12. doodles - creative card crew
13. stamping - paper cutz

Let's play tictactoe rick rack!

Well, I guess rick rack & buttons are perfect pair.... they sure can play together... LOL.
The last days were very intensive at work and at home. so I couldn't find enough time to scrap :( . But now it's weekend, so I hope I can catch up a little.
anyway, I had no real rick rack riboons at home, and didn't have time to go shopping (did I hear a relife sigh from my bank accountant?), so I had to use what I already have... and that happen to be paper accents I bought a few weeks ago and hardly used (neglected...), and since it was in neutral colors, I just colored it with acrylics and so I did to the small buttons, just to get to the exact color I wanted.
The only problem is that my kids want to play tic-tac-toe with the card...
The colors of this card make it another 'male card'... )where are all the pink florish card had gone?...., well, don't worry, now I'm off to make the cupcake challenge at 365 cards, so pink will glory again...
have a lovely weekend. here it finally starts raining...
and the cards goes for the following challenges:
1. perfect pair: rick rack & buttons -day #256 - 365 cards
2. sketch - #42 icsketches
3. colors - #4 play date cafe
4. buttons - gingersnap supply
5. cardstock - practical scrappers
6. new or neglected - cinspirations - the rick rack was neglected, the sentiment is of new rub-ons I just bought.
7. color - color dare

The patched falling scarecrow

Well, it took my some time to come up with an idea what to do with this 'lets patch things up' challenge. Finally I remembered that I have this cute scarecrow image, with patches on his cloth, so I could wipe the cold sweat... haha.

I chose this colour combo, once again fall colours. I love them. they are so vivid. The orange patch on the scarecrow's pants is felt fabric. All the stiches are faux, the yellow patches and the red oval were distressed - cut with zigzag scissors and brushed with ink

Since lately I'm in love with self made flowers. it is quite odd that I didn't use any in this card... nor ribbons. brads, or rhinestones.

So this is what I've got here:

1. patches - 365 cards day 255

2. embossing - diecatsrus

3. colour combo - color throwdown #68

4. stitches - kraftin'kimmie #5

5. sketch + stitching - my grafico sketch + mygrafico stitching

6. fall with leaves - pile it on

7. fall splendor - kaboodle doodles

(all the stitches)8. doodling - creative inspirations

9. doodles - creative card crew

10. stitching - Quixotic

11. distressing - design dollies

ב- 365cards ביקשו טלאי. לקח לי די הרבה זמן להחליט מה אני עושה עם האתגר הזה, בסופו של דבר נזכרתי בדמות הדחליל שיש לי, עם הטלאים על הבגדים שלו.

הקארדסטוק הכתום עבר הבלטה קרה של עיגולים; דיסטרסינג לצהוב ולאדום שכלל גזירה במספרי זיגזג ויישון עם דיו; התפרים כולם צויירו ביד.
