Jovi with Girl from SMC

I'm finally back and had a little time to craft today in between taking care of the fam and taking my daughter to the Doctor's. My DD is still not doing so great and had to have a chest x-ray today...not fun for a baby! Anyway, today, I have Jovi with Girl from this year's March release at Sew Many Cards.

Here is a close-up. I've had this image colored up for a while now and did not write down the colors, sorry about that.

The DP are from DCWV Spring stacks, flowers are Bobunny, and the glimmer on her is embossing powder. There will be a sentiment on here, but I couldn't decide which one to use so it will come later. Well, that's it for me today, as I still have tons to catch up on and my DD is actually sleeping so I gotta make use of the time. Hope everyone is having a great week!

SMC Challenge # 13 DT Card

Happy Friday folks! Today, it's time for another challenge at Sew Many Challenges, and we wanna see some Christmas projects! The sponsor this week is Stitchybear Stamps and the challenge winner will get three free stamps from Stitchybear Stamps. I chose to make a simple card today as I generally make some 50 cards for Christmas so I need something easily reproduced.

Here is my Hershey in stocking

I colored Hershey with my copics(pic below), embossed the white parts with some snow embossing powder, and scattered some pearls around him to resemble a snow fall. That's it, short and sweet and ready to be done a bunch of times.

Here are the copics I used. The card base is a DCWV A5 card from a Christmas pack. That's it for me, make sure you stop by the rest of the DT to see their creations. You won't here from me again until next week as I'm taking a little vacation(I'm actually on it right now). Hope everyone has a great weekend and we'll see you back here next week. Don't forget to check the Sew Many Challenges blog to see if you've won my image, Kasey the Kangaroo, from last weeks blog hop.

Thanks for stopping by,

Autumn

Sew Many Challenges New Release Blog Hop

Happy Friday everyone! What better way to start the day then with a blog hop to see some awesome new images from Sew Many Cards and a chance to win a prize. You have to comment to win, so if you started at Sew Many Challenges and are arriving here from Anita's blog you are on the right track, if not, go to SMC and start at the beginning. So, what's the prize, you ask.... $10 to spend at Simon Says Stamp will be the grand prize, and each DT member gets to choose someone from their comments to win the image they are showcasing...How cool is that! Now, before we continue on to my project you may want to grab a drink and a comfortable chair as I've got a lot of pictures...I think you'll appreciate them though.

Now, I introduce you to......

Kasey the Kangaroo

Isn't Kasey just darling!!! If you've been on the hop you know Kasey is only one of the many adorable images that Sew Many Cards creator, Angela, has come up with. I have showcased Kasey in my first ever pop-up card and scene card all rolled into one. I can't believe I had this vision in my head and it actually turned out, yay! You know what's even cooler, I made most of this with my scraps...Isn't it soo exciting when you find yourself using your scraps!

I said I've got a lot of pictures, so I'll try to keep the banter short. I thought I needed this one to show the whole card.

I think this one shows the dimension a little better...I was having trouble with shadows...to be expected with this type of card, I suppose. I also think the clouds showed up really well in this one and I'm quite proud of them so I wanted you to have a good view of them. I made the could myself on blue watercolor DP. I used a little puffy ball with some white ink to shape them. I let them dry a little bit then added a few accent spots and sprinkled(a little bit in between my fingers) with a winter embossing powder that had silver in it, and embossed.

You have finally reached the end and here is the card all folded up. I thought everyone might be curious to know how to give someone one of these cards...I know I was, lol. I didn't use any sort of tutorial on this so I came up with the outside on my own as well, so, I don't know how anybody else does it.

It's also Freebie Friday at SMC and challenge day. Would you like to win the entire line of new releases from Sew Many Cards AND a special discount code to use for the entire month of May for 45% off all your digital stamp purchases??Then join us for an easy peasy challenge!! All you'll need to do is submit a project using a Sew Many Cards image!! ANYTHING GOES...BUT it has to contain a Sew Many Cards image on it!!

Well, that's it for me, your next stop is Carol and don't forget to comment to win. I hope you have enjoyed my image and my card. Happy hopping, and good luck!

Have a great day!

Jayden With Butterfly Shaped Easel

Today, I bring you my first shaped easel card. The image I've used is 'Jayden With Butterfly' from Sew Many Cards.

I made this card by first cutting a circle card base with my Wild Card cart. and my cricut. Next I cut two flower shapes with the Accent Essentials. I used one flower for the top and placed the second on the bottom inside of the card. After getting this all adheared together I cut a circle and centered it on the flower.

After adding Jayden I added the flowers from my stash and adheared them with hot glue. I felt it still needed a bit more and after some thinking I came up with the buttons and glued them around the outside of the inner circle.

A little sentiment on the front of the card, a space for writing on the inside, a button to hold the easel shape and done!

Recipe:

DP from DCWV stack

Buttons from stash

Flowers from stash
