Artist Team Challenge

Club Scrap March Artist Team Challenge/Blog Hop: Lace & Die Cuts

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap's Artist Team Challenge + Blog Hop!
This month the DT team was challenged to create with Paper Lace Mats and Embellishments Die Cuts from the Paris Flea Market Collection...

If you came from Debbie's Blog, you're in the right place!
If you would like to start from the beginning, go to Club Scrap's Blog...but that's where you'll also go next!

Here are my projects:

I trimmed a part of the Paper Lace Mat...

...to adhere on the corner of this card:

Challenge:

1. Artistic Inspiration #152: Anything Goes

2. Love to Scrap #74: Anything Goes

For the second card, I trimmed a Paper Lace Mat panel and I also used the Embellishments Die Cut (I stamped an image, inked the edges and tied it with fiber):

Challenges:

1. Addicted to CAS #84: Delicate

2. Not Just Cards #30

For the third card, I used the Paper Lace Mat to create decorative embellishments on the left and right side of the Embellishments Die Cut (inked and stamped). The little panel opens up and the plan is to have two pictures, inside the panel and card...I just don't have them yet! =)

(By the way, this card uses the Masterboard created last week - click HERE to see it).

Challenges:

1. Cards und More #154: Use Ribbon

2. Craft Your Passion #304: Always Anything Goes

3. Crafting From The Heart #104: Anything Goes

I used a A2 card and a smaller size card adhered on the inside.

The Paper Lace Mat is also great to wrap small gifts...

...and I added the inked and stamped Embellishments Die Cut with fiber.

Last, but not the least, I used Paper Lace Mat to embellish this box:

Paper Lace Mat is also on the lid with a Embellishments Die Cut covered with the pretty pink metallic patterned paper from the Collection. I added a bow (Club Scrap ribbon) and a rose (Recollection):

This box will be an Explosion Box!!! But you will have to come back next Wednesday to see it! =)

Now, you can go back to Club Scrap's Blog to hop again! =)

Heart2Heart March Guest DT: Prickly Hug Card

(I have 2 posts today...please, click HERE for Club Scrap's Artist Team Blog Hop)

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I'm a Guest Designer for Heart2Heart CTMH Challenge Blog in March!
They have a new challenge every Monday and you have until the end of the month to link your creations, using CTMH products.

Here's my card for the first challenge of the month (although it's not quite March, yet...ha! But they didn't want to wait 'til the 7th to start!):

The challenge this week is "3"...I chose to use 3 cactus plants.

The stamp set is called "Stuck On You". I stamped the images and cut them out (although they have a compatible die set). I colored them with alcohol-based markers.

I blended ink on the card base. On the white panel, I stamped some dots several times for the "sand" and pierced it with my piercing tool.

I arranged my pots and plants and adhered them on.

Finally, I added a sentiment, some sequins and a couple of tiny flowers (left overs from my border punch).

Challenges:
1. Heart2Heart Challenge Blog: 3
2. Craft Your Passion #301: Always Anything Goes
3. Simon Says Wed Anything Goes
4. Simon Says Work It Wed Feb 2016
