Scrapy Land Challenge #81 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy Wednesday!! I hope the first week of 2018 has been a wonderful one for you so far :) It's time for our first new Scrapy Land challenge of the year and the theme as always is Anything Goes PLUS a brand of die Scrapy Land carries...there are over 55 to choose from. If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

For my cards, I created two window scene cards. I started with one of my all-time favorite dies...Die-Versions Brick Background.

The window and shutters are Frantic Stamper Arched Window dies.

To create the window boxes, I used a Memory Box Stitched Square die. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, as are the curtains made from WOC lace.

The banner is a Spellbinders Banner die, with a My Creative Time stamp. A Cherry Lynn Ivy Corner Flourish Die and Poppystamps Stitched Butterfly Trio die were used to finish it off.

For the Newlyweds!!

Happy Friday everyone!! I hope you have fun plans for the last weekend in May (how is that possible??!!) It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I hope you will stop by there to say hi :)

My card today is in celebration of a wedding, featuring dies from the May Wedding Bells and Father's Day release, as well as several other Die-Versions dies. The paper for the card are from Prima's Divine paper stack. For the background of the card, I used the Whispers Bricks Background die, keeping some of the bricks in place. The Celebrate Express Banner was cut twice...once in patterned paper and once in black and then offset for a shadow effect.

Two sizes of Heart Doodles Wee Petites dies were used...one for the sentiment and one that was covered in glitter and added to the top of the gem swirl. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags stamp set. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. A Whispers Daisy Flair die was cut in vellum and tucked among the flowers. A Wee Petites Button die was added to the center of the bow.

The Whispers The Proposal die was popped up with foam tape for dimension. Gems were added to the dress and you can't tell in the photo, but they were brushed with a Wink of Stella glitter brush so they really sparkle in person :)

Craft It Up & Link It Up - Bring On The Glitter

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! I have been so hooked on watching the Olympics...I'm going to be so sad when they are over :( It's time for a new challenge at Craftin Desert Divas!! The theme this week is "Bring On The Glitter". Our sponsors are: Too Cute By Jessica - $20; The Robin's Nest - A Packet from Regency Collection; and Timeless Twine - $20.

For my glittery project, I used a Prima Mixed Media Tag, inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink. All of the paper is from Prima's Romance Novel stack...this paper is so beautiful. The scalloped design on the side is a Die-Versions Loopy Lace die. A Die-Versions Brick Background die was used in the background. The crinkle ribbon is from my sweet friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces.

I haven't used my Julie Nutting Prima Doll stamps lately, and while I (anxiously) await the newest Doll stamps to arrive, I thought I'd glam this one up with glitter :) She was stamped on an old book page and then her outfit was paper pieced, covered in Ranger Glossy Accents and then coated with glitter. She was popped up with foam tape.

The flowers are Spellbinders D-Lites Blooms One and Tree. They too were covered with Glossy Accents and then glitter.

The balloon was cut from the paper and then glittered. I am entering this in the following challenges:
