4 Crafty Chicks Thursday

Good morning friends!  It has been crazy around my house this last couple of weeks!  I just don't know where the time goes! I can hardly believe we are into October already - the leaves are falling - the air is nice and crisp and all the beautiful colors of Fall are all around!

This week I am hostess at 4 Crafty Chicks and I have a recipe for everyone to follow!

1 Image - 2 Pattern Papers and 3 Bling:

I decided to use the adorable little mermaid from Simply Betty.  I colored her with my Spectrum Noir and Copic markers then added a little bit of glitter to her tail fin.  Some bright green papers, ribbon, and flowers from my stash along with some little rhinestones finished her off.

Here is a close up of this adorable mermaid.

I can tell my coloring is way out of practice but it was nice to just sit down and color!

So be sure to hop over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your project today!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

You Are My Sunshine

Good morning Friends!  Today is Thursday so that means it is time for a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.  

This week our lovely and talented Leanne is our hostess and she is looking for Sunshine. So show us your bright sunshine-y projects!  We can't wait to see them!

For my project (since I almost forgot what day it was this week) I have thrown together a quick simple canvas.  I painted the sun using acrylic paints and did the lettering using my Spectrum Noir pens.  A pretty quick and simple project but I know that my niece will love it!

So, be sure to hop on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and leave the rest of the girls some love!  And also a huge welcome to our guest designer this month: Tenia from Jazzy Paper Designs!  We are very excited to work with you this month!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

Happy Birds

3 SETS OF PAIRS.

For this card I pulled out my new favorite embossing folder and some Kraft card.  This Chevron folder is from Close To My Heart and is just so fun!  The stamp set is also a CTMH set called Happy Birds.  I colored them with my Spectrum Noir pens (I am WAY out of practice!)  The pattern paper is from the Brushed collection.

Here is a close up of the birds and flowers.

As you can see I have at least 3 sets of pairs on this card! 

 2 Birds - 2 Flowers - 2 words.

Fall is in the Air!

Good morning Friends!  It is time once again for another wonderful challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.

This week the lovely and talented Tamie is here to host our challenge. (Welcome Back Tamie!)

Tamie is getting into the spirit of the season and would like to see a FALL project.

As I have been getting ready for my October card workshop- this is the perfect challenge - because we are doing an entire workshop on FALL and Thanksgiving themed cards!  

The card I am going to share with you today is using the CTMH stamp set - Always Grateful.  I love the trees in this set along with the beautiful sentiments!

For this card I used the paperpack - Pathfinding.  I just love the fall colors in this one!

I stamped my image first with Barn Red ink then took a Q-tip and added in the rest of the fall colors - Autumn Terracotta, Honey, and Olive.

A little bit of shimmer trim and a creative masterpiece was born! (LOL)

So what are you waiting for?  Head over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your FALL project today!

Hostess Rewards - Thanksgiving Wreath

Good afternoon Friends!  Can you believe it is the middle of September already?  Where did this year go?

Today I wanted to share a project I made using the Close To My Heart Hostess Rewards Stamp Set - Thanksgiving Wreath.

This is actually just a 3x3 card.  I started by using the Wishes how to book.  I cut my card base at 3x6 and scored at 3 inches.  The front was done using scraps of paper from the Close To My Heart Exclusive card stock.  I stamped my sentiment with Chocolate ink and mounted it to my card using 3-D adhesive. A little bit of embroidery floss and it was complete.  A pretty simple thank you card!
