Crazy 4 Challenges - Animals

The Crazy 4 Challenges team will be creating animal themed cards this week.  I chose to use this super cute Stampin' Up! stamp set called Bella and Friends (yes, again).  I used Karen Burniston's Labels & Circles to stamp the image on.  To get the balloon and tail to fit, I hand cut around that part and then put them on top of the die as I die cut.  I colored in the image using Watercolor Pencils and an Aquapainter.  The sentiment is from Better Together stamped onto a Banner Framelits.
I used the Labels & Circles again to stamp the inside sentiment.  For a bit of color I added the same polka-dot DSP as the front of the card.

Crazy 4 Challenges - Squirrel Appreciation Day

Last week was Squirrel appreciation day!  I mean who knew?  The Crazy 4 Challenges team is showing our love for these furry critters by using any one of our favorite furry critters on a card. I am interpreting the "Furry critters" as any animal with fur as I don't have a squirrel stamp.  I water colored this sweet dog image from Bella and Friends.  I thought it would be fun to add a hot dog from the Tasty Trucks stamp set.  I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to ink up the stamp and omitting the bone that is on the stamp.  After coloring Bella, I cut around the mouth so I could insert the hot dog.  I added a few Labels & Circles for an added pop of color along with a banner.
For the inside, I used Karen Burniston's Cake Pop Up.  The sentiment from Tasty Trucks coordinates perfect with the whole cake/food theme!
Happy Stampin',

Crazy 4 Challenges - Sketch

It's the third Saturday of the month and that means it's sketch time with Crazy 4 Challenges.  I chose to make a CAS card with this fun sketch.
I used a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Tasty Trucks for this quick card.  If you're not familiar with Sale-A-Bration, it's a Stampin' Up! promotion where you can choose free items with a $50 purchase.  I stamped the sentiment onto a word bubble from Karen Burniston's Accordion Rectangle.  I then used Elizabeth Craft Designs' Stitched Rectangles to cut the shape again.  I used Karen's Outdoor Edges to get the wave in the middle of the card; I love that little pop of green peeking through.  I used Daffodil Delight and Emerald Envy and an Aquapainter to color in the tacos.

Happy Stampin',
