2 Crafty Critter Crazies March Challenge

This week I am working with Ellie's Flower Costume from Imagine That! our host for the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies March challenge!

I printed Ellie out and colored her with Spectrum Noir markers!  She also came with this great sentimement, that I printed and foiled.  It's so shimmery!  I added sparkle all over the card with Spectrum Noir glitter pens.

Thank you for stopping by!  I can't wait to see all your creations for the month of March!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies - January 2019

Happy New Year!

I am so thankful for Bugaboo Stamps for sponsoring our January Challenge.  I chose to work with Winter Bird Friends.

I printed these two out with my laser jet printer and colored in the image with Spectrum Noir Markers.  I then added some white flock to the hat and some embossing snow to the base.  The sentiment is from Newton's Nook and the tiny snow flakes are from Lawn Fawn.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Ching-Chou Kuik

Thank you for joining us this week at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  We're sponsored this month by Ching-Chou Kuik.  The image I selected and couldn't wait to use is Christmas Venice Night.  I just LOVE this critter!  I first printed the image on a laser jet printer and then ran through my laminator with aqua foil.  I didn't want to color the image except for the flowers and the mask... and those eyes!  This card just sparkles from any angle in the room!  The 'fabulous' die is from Crafters Companion.

Thank you so much for joining us this month!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Ike's Art

Happy September!!!!  Welcome back to 2 Crafty Critter Crazies challenge!  This month's sponsor is Ike's Art and I chose Daisy Cat to work with.  I had no idea what to do with this lovely cat and finally I decided to do nothing at all except color her eyes in!  I sure am glad I did, too!  The flowers are colored in with Spectrum Noir markers and the sentiment 'lovely' is from Heidi Swapp.

I'm so glad you stopped by!  Happy Crafting!

Two Crafty Critter Crazies - April Challenge

Happy April!  Welcome back to another 2 Crafty Critter Crazies challenge hosted by Linda Simpson! 

For this months card, I selected the pattern paper les beaux oiseaux.  I die cut them with a stitched square die and then went over each of the stitches with a white gel pen.  The Thank You is from Memory Box Dies and the butterfly is an Elizabeth Crafts sticker that I added microfine glitter too.

Thank you for stopping by!  And Happy Crafting!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies March Challenge

It's March!  In like a Lion out like a lamb!  Welcome back to 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!

How cute is this little guy?  This is Spotted Kitty by Limited Runs who is sponsoring this months challenge.

I colored him in with my Spectrum Noir markers and some Spectrum Noir glitter markers and popped him up on a piece of pet paper I had.  'Hugs' is from Winnie & Walter - and I reversed double side taped it.  When I took off the backing of the paper, I covered it with espresso glitter since I didn't have any brown sparkle paper.

Roaaaarrrrr - Happy March!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies February Challenge

Thank you to Sheepski Designs for hosting the February Challenge at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This month I chose to work with 'Lil Skunk.'  He is typically a single image.  I flipped him and made a second skunk so they could fall in love for Valentine's Day!  Once I colored the skunks in with my spectrum noir markers (and glitter markers for the white), I masked them and used a heart stencil for the background.  The sentiment 'You're Stinkin' Cute' is from Lawn Fawn.  The heart die is from Simon Says Stamp.  I die cut it twice and then added the pieces back in to create a stained glass effect.

I hope you join us this month!  I can't wait to see your Critter designs!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #10 January

Happy New Year!!!  When I chose this Fabrika Fantasy image of Cute Toy 1, I could only envision a baby card!  I used scraps from a baby pack I had and created the background.  I then added the Winnie & Walter 'baby' die popped up by foam.  The 'Sweet New Baby' stamp is from Mama Elephant.  Cute Toy 1 was colored in with Spectrum Noir colored pencils and blended with gambol.  Thank you for joining us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies this month and thank you to Fabrika Fantasy for sponsoring us!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies December Challenge - Sponsored by Sasayaki Glitter

Merry Christmas!!!!  I can hardly believe it's December.  Where did 2017 go?  I'm not sure .... but I do know that this Penguin had fun peeking through each of these windows!

Welcome to the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies December Challenge hosted by Sasayaki Glitter.

I printed this little guy out many times and then cut him to fit in each one of these stitched window frames.  I embossed the cardstock with a snowflake embossing folder and finished it off with the Fa La La La die sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

On the inside I used a larger image and added liquid appliqué to the bottom.  When you heat emboss liquid appliqué it poofs up and looks like snow!  Probably the closest snow I'll see in Georgia!

Merry Christmas and Happy Crafting!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies November Challenge - Sponsored by Sparkle N Sprinkle

Happy November!  I'm so honored to be the guest designer for November here at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  This month is sponsored by Sparkle N Sprinkle - by far - my favorite adhesive supplier of all times! 

This image is Hummingbirds and Flowers.  This card is full of shine and shimmer and ACTION!  I separated the hummingbird from the flower and attached her to a penny so she could slide in and out.  This was a ton of fun to make and very easy!

I printed the image on my laser jet printer.  Once I separated the bird from the flower, I ran the bird through my Minc with blue Decofoil.  I used my gelatos on the hummingbird and blended with a baby wipe.  She is so shiny and wonderful!

I used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers for the flowers and a Spectrum Noir Alcohol Marker for the individual leaves.  The background is one of the Crafter's Companion 3D embossing folders and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.
