ICE CREAM POPPING OUT OF A BOX

FANTABULOUS CRICUT are having an Ice cream Challenge to celebrate National Ice Cream month.  I decided to make a box card.  The cut is a Lori Whitlock Cricut design that I cut on my Explore.  The gems are Paper Studio.  I threaded the banner on Basic Twine from the DL.ART shop

DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY CHALLENGE #184-"SUMMER FOODS"

Hello it is time for another challenge over at DL.ART.  Challenge #184 is "Summer Foods"  you can always enter a "Thank You " card instead.   Diana has some awesome beachy colors.  I used RED AND WHITE BASIC TWINE for a fringed awning,  Then I added an ARUBA BLUE Bow  I love this color ribbon.  It is a varigated aqua blue.  Diana does such a great job with her hand dyed ribbons.   Diana offers my readers a 10% discount at her store if you use the code k34510 at check out.
 I immediately thought of the snack bars at the beach.  I didn't have small enough stamps of beach food, so I used some images from my PrintMaster program.  The sentiment and surf board dies are by My Creative Time.

WINE ON A EASEL CARD

There is an Anything Goes Challenge going on at the ART IMPRESSIONS BLOG  They are celebrating their 29 anniversary.  I colored the "Celeste" image using a paintbrush and Marvy Markers.  I mounted the image on some squares by Spellbinders.  I then cut a few pieces of gold leopard paper.  The beautiful Cabernet ribbon is from the Vintage Vineyard Bundle available in the DL.ART shop.  Diana has beautiful new colors of ribbon and she is also selling pretty buttons.

Mail Box Thank You Card

I made this card for a special lady who helped my son pick a challenge.  She has so much patience and enjoys working with teenagers.  I used Art Impressions stamp for the Mailbox image.  I colored it with a paint brush and Marvy Markers.  The two stitched squares are by My Creative Time.  The curly square is Spellbinders.  The beautiful papers and the border embossing folder are by Anna Griffin.  The blue ribbon is Royal Blue from the Blue Bundle by DL.ART.

A PILE OF DOGS-SLIDER CARD

ART IMPRESSIONS are having a Slider Card Challenge.  Unfortunately it ends in a few hours.  This  idea has been in my head for a few days.  I just had a tough time getting it made.  Art Impressions has a slider die-it is on my list for the upcoming Scrapbook Expo.   I stamped the "Dog Stacker" image with Stayz on Black Ink.  Then I scribbled many shades of brown, orange and grey Marvy Marker on my pallet.  I then used a fine brush to water color the images.  The papers I used are DCWV.   The sentiment is My Creative Time.  The beautiful ribbon is Burnt Leaf from the Fall Bundle by DL.ART.

DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY ANYTHING GOES JULY LINKY CHALLENGE

Welcome to a new Linky Challenge over at DL.ART.  Diana has the most fabulous collections of ribbon.  Check out the variety Here.  For this challenge I changed out a centerpiece I had made for my sons graduation party.  Since I already had clear and blue marbles in the vase, I decided to create a July 4th centerpiece.  I made a cool red and blue fringe to go around the top of the vase.  I used Patriotic Red from the Patriotic Bundle and Royal Blue from the Blues Bundle.  Did you know Diana gives my readers 10% discount-just use the code k34510 at check out.
I used a variety of cuts using my Cricut explore.  The papers are by Colorbok.  I found these fun stickers in my stash.
