Green Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles

 Welcome to the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge! It's week 2 of a brand new challenge!

Welcome to challenge #43 at DoubleClick!!

Dates: March 2 - March 15, 2016

Challenge: St. Patricks Day/Use something green

Today, I'm mixing it up with some stenciling, ink splatters and papers from Webster's Pages and Bazzill.  Really, it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that..... kind of like a big 'ole pot of vegetable soup!  Just keep throwing stuff in, haha.

The Skittle colors I'm using today are Meadow and I added a touch of glitter glue to the bottom for a little extra zing, placing my Skittles in the center of the clover and at the base of my stencil.  I adore my Skittles!  Even though, this is a great St. Patrick's day card, I also think it would make a very clever graduation card or even a retirement card or job promotion.  Anything that requires wishing someone good luck, know what I mean? 

Have you checked out all the Skittle Color choices? You can view them all HERE!

New Challenge at DoubleClick Skittles - Monsters or Robots

Welcome to another DoubleClick Skittles Challenge!

Challenge #30 - Monster or Robot

Sept. 2 - Sept. 15

For this challenge I decided to go with Monster.  I had the perfect Fancy Pants Design papers and a digital image that I hadn't used yet.

The Skittles that I'm using are Citrus and Believe in Magic.  You know how sometimes you have a little accident while crafting?  Yup, I had a bit of a smudge with my liquid pearls.  What's a girl to do?  Cover it up with a Skittle!  I popped that Citrus Skittle on top of that green smudged mess and covered it up perfectly.  I liked the look so much, I decided to plop one down on the other side too.  I love how Skittles magnifies whatever is underneath it.  In this case, the Citrus Skittles, which are a pale green, were further enhanced by the green liquid pearls.  Bonus!

Let me tell you, I really jazzed up this Party Monster.  I used my Cricut Explore's Print and Cut feature which I love, because you don't have to worry about assembling a bunch of tiny die cut pieces with an svg file.  This monster was green all over so I added some spots of brown and white.  Isn't he adorable?

Skittles come in a multitude of fabulous colors and are handmade in batches in Carri's "lab".  There are 25 of these fun, bubble embellishments per bag and you can purchase most 3 pack sets for under $4.00 or individually.  Plus shipping is FREE in the USA and PAYPAL is accepted.

You can purchase Skittles here:

The newest release, "Believe in Magic" is still available.  Perfect for all your Disney themed projects (Mickey, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)

Come join the Skittles challenge here.  There's always a fun prize up for grabs and plenty of inspiration.

Be sure to read the rules for the challenge as backlinking is not allowed. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop time! Mug shaped card with Fused gift card pocket!

It's that time again.  Time for the Coffee Lover's Cardmaking Blog Hop.  The theme this time is SUMMER and I've got the perfect "blend" for my creation.  Frappuccino, anyone?  Yes, please!

For my project, I've made a fun, Splashin' Mug shaped card using my Eileen Hull Sizzix Mug die, Fancy Pants Designs papers and elements from the Nautical collection, Skittles from Doubleclick Connection and my We R Memory Keepers Fuse.  (I do have some affiliate links below, so if you should decide to shop, I do appreciate it.  Doing so, allows me to offer the occasional prize on my blog!)

(Pssst.... the Sizzix Mug & Spoon Die is on sale!!)

Sizzix - Vintage Kitchen Collection - Bigz Die - Mug and Spoon - $15.99
from: Scrapbook.com

I cut 3 of the mug shapes and created a gift card pocket with my We R Memory Keepers - Photo Sleeve Fuse (from: Scrapbook.com) leaving an open slit at the top to insert a gift card, which is sandwiched between the card front and a blank mug shape (to hide all the adhesive).  The whipped cream on the cup?  It's from a snow marker I snagged after Christmas on clearance.  It's not just for snow!

BONUS TIP!  Stack up to 4 sheets of card stock when die cutting in your Big Shot, Cuttlebug, etc.,  for making quick multiples!

To make the fun chat bubbles and foil sunglasses, I used My Favorite Things Photo Booth dies.  I ran some Tombow Power Bond adhesive over cardstock, laid a piece of foil on top, then ran both through my Cuttlebug.  Super easy!  All the word elements are Fancy Pants Design as well.

This fun card will fit inside a 6x6 envelope, dimensions here are approximately 5"w x 6"l.

It was a little top heavy with the gift card inside, but the pocket can be removed by gently prying off the blank inner panel.

Want to join the hop?  Here's the link to check out all the creations and link up your new creation as well.  Be sure you follow the rules.  The hop begins June 5th and ends June 12, 2015:

Unity Stamp Co GIU Blog Hop

  It's time for the 2nd GIU blog hop of 2015!

  (You should have arrived here from Lena's site) 

The Unity Stamp Company sent this lovely stamp set created by the illustrious artist, Phyllis Harris, titled "Brandy & Emma: Bubbles of Fun.  I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous as I'm not a Copic user and coloring is not a big skill set of mine.  However, I had an idea to go all "whimsical" with this set, and use what skills I do have.  That includes water coloring and the use of my Tombow Dual brush markers. 

 

I started with a wood panel and blender paper from ADORNit,

then covered with some washi tape.

Next, I embellished a wood phrase from Fancy Pants Design, by inking and adding bubbles.  I even dipped a sharpie cap into my ink pad and added more bubbles.  (Stamp below from Unity titled, "Bubbly")

I also stamped some little colorful bushes, using the Unity set "Insightful Meadows" and added some Flower Soft in "Meadow" for the green grass.

To add more bubbles, I simply masked the part of the stamp I didn't want to use.

Look close and you'll see that I made iridescent bubbles by tinting.  I'm sure it's been done before but I had the idea and went with it.  I used Ranger Glossy Accents, then ran my pink Tombow marker across an acrylic block, dipping a wet paintbrush into the mix and tinting the tops of my wet, glossy bubbles.  The picture below shows the bubbles after they've dried.  I love how it turned out!

So there you have it.  Lots of color, bubbles and extras to make this whimsical art piece.  Now, hop on over to Tenia's page to see what she cooked up! 

If you've missed someone along the way, here is the order of the hop:

Lena Nunn
