Scrapy Land - Challenge 128

Hello crafty friends,

My last Christmas card for the challenge this year is this simple glitter card stock one.

I stated by covering my card front with a gray striped pattern paper that has a tiny red line.  Then i die cut all three of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Beaded Ovals from red glitter card stock and arranged them on the card overlapping.  This set is currently not available, but the store has the Circle set in stock.

Next I die cut the shadow from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Shadow Script Christmas Words "Merry" from green card stock and the top layer from red card stock. This set is currently not available, but the store has these other three sets.

At this point, I felt the card needed something else, so I looked through my dies and found the ornament shaped tag from the Impression Obsession Shaped Tags die set.  I die cut it from green card stock and placed it towards the top of the card.  I fussy cut the "string" for it.

this photo shows the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Squares, because the card started as a 5.5x5.5 square until I trimmed the sides and turned it into a regular A2 size, because I thought it went better with the oval dies.

As always, thanks for stopping bye.... I hope you'll join us for this challenge.  One winner... selected randomly will receive a $15 gift code to Scrapy Land.  Top three and honorable mentions will be selected by the Designers.  Until next time... take care and HAPPY Holiday to you and yours.

Scrapy Land - Challenge 101

Hello craft friends,

Welcome to Scrapy Land Challenge 101... our theme is always "anything goes".

I made two cards for this challenge using an Elizabeth Craft Designs stamp and die set.  Scrapyland has several scene making stamp and die sets available, most of them are by Lawn Fawn.

I stamped several background trees for depth and added several trees in front on foam tape for dimension.  I wanted a soft fall feeling, so I used light watercolors pencils.  I did a little surgery on one of the Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame dies so it would frame my scene.

On my second card I created a winter scene, this time placing the birch trees behind a partial die cut circle using one of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Fitted Circle dies

Thanks for stopping bye.... I hope you'll join us for this challenge.  The winners... one selected randomly and one selected by the Design Team will both receive a $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.  Until next time... take care.

Scrapy Land - Challenge 100

Hello crafty friends...

WELCOME TO OUR 100TH CHALLENGE! 

We are so excited to share this huge milestone with you.  
This is a CELEBRATION where YOU win the prizes!


 Each prize package will be a fun Mystery Box worth $25  

Here are the four ways you can win:

 One Random Choice Winner

 One Designer Choice Winner

 One Blog Hop Winner (more info on this below)

 One Additional Random Winner if the Scrapy Land Challenge blog
 goes over 100 entries (so please share with all your friends).

Our 100TH CHALLENGE theme is CELEBRATION.  

However, the Anything Goes theme is also an option... Just make sure a die cut from any brand that Scrapy Land sells is included on your project.  Here's my project... 

The theme of celebration doesn't have to be a birthday or anniversary card.  It can be the celebration of your kid's first steps, the purchase of a new home or as in my case... a card celebrating Halloween, which is my favorite holiday.

I used these fun dies for this card... IO's Six Witches, don't they look like they are having a fun time?  The card front was created with the Party Light Collage die, which only cuts the middle oval with the banner "lights".  I created a shaker element... note to self, double check the orientation of your card before closing your shaker element. Lastly, I added a Celebrate die from ECD. 

Our 100TH CHALLENGE BLOG HOP will run until Nov. 4th, and will feature lots of great CELEBRATION theme inspiration from our Designers.  The Blog Hop Winner will be chosen from comments left on each of the Designers' blogs and on the Scrapy Land Challenge blog.

have fun hopping... your next stop is Sherry blog. 

Scrapy Land - Challenge 99

Hello crafty friends... welcome to the start of Scrapy Land Challenge #99.  Come join us... our theme is always "anything goes".

I'm in full Halloween card making mood now, but the die I'm going to showcase is not a Halloween die.  It's actually a die that most people will not even see.  The Elizabeth Craft Designs Scissors Spring Mechanisms die is something must of us who love dimension on our card can't live without. 

   

I used it to give dimension to my cute (digital) bat on the front of my card.  If I had used foam, I would have gotten dimension, but not movement.  I could have used an action wobble, but didn't have any on hand and those babies are expensive.  You can make hundreds of these spring mechanisms for the cost of a pack of action wobbles.

Here's a peek under the bat... notice that I trimmed the spring to just one level, making this die more useful, because you can adjust the height to your project.  I should also mention that the spring dies are actually intended to make elements on the inside of a card spring up when the card is open. 

Thanks for stopping bye.... please join us for this challenge.  The winners... one selected randomly and one selected by the Design Team will both receive a $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.  Until next time... take care.

We are only 1 challenge away from our big 100th...

Scrapy Land Challenge #73

Hello crafty friends,

For Scrapy Land's Challenge #73, I created two Halloween tags.  I love Halloween and all things Fall, so I started playing with my Fall and Halloween stamps and dies last weekend.

Tag 1, started with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Winter Sweater die.  Don't be fooled by the name... this sweater die is not just for Christmas.  The die set comes with the small reindeer and snowflake dies that you can cut and embellish your sweater with, but when it comes to decorating your sweater your options are wide open.

This photo is hiding a secret... I made the sweater into a folded tag...

by placing my the fold of my folded black card stock just under the top cutting edge of the sweater die (the neck cuff), I was able to create a folded shaped tag.  I die cut a white sweater and trimmed off the arms and cuffs for a place to write my greeting.  I die cut another sweater from Halloween pattern paper for the front.  I glued the folded sweater tag to a couple offset tags, added some ribbons and Nuvo drops as a finishing touch.

Tag 2 will make you screen... I used Cheery Lynn's Whimsical Spider dies, die cutting them out of grey felt for added texture.

Once again I created a folded tag.  Placed five of the spiders on the front, and the widest spider on the inside.  The front of the tag I colored with distress oxide inks.  The green eyes on the spiders are Nuvo Drop Apple Green.

Thanks for stopping bye for a look at my Halloween tags.  Please join us for this challenge.  You have until Sept  to submit your projects.  The winners... one selected randomly and one selected by the Design Team will both receive a $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.  Until next time... take care.
