Crashing Microbeads-Crash Your Stash at the Outlawz

MICRO BEADS is the cue for the latest OUTLAWZ Crash your Stash Challenge. The purpose of this Challenge is to encourage you to use those items that are no longer trending and probably stashed away in a drawer. Forgotten and alone. So, we are here to help inspire you to dig those items out and bring them new life! At the start of each challenge, we will tell you what item we want you to pull from your stash to use and you will have a whole month to find, dust off and create something lovely with the item!

That simple!

You have until January 14th to enter!



Our sponsor this month is Pattie's Creations Digital Stamps

The challenge for this month is Microbeads.

You know the ones ... itty bitty teeny weeny "beads" that you adhere to projects with gobs of glue or adhesive tape!



I used Beedz that have been in my stash for years! Not sure if they are even still around by that name. I put them on the dots on the ornament with tacky glue.  The image is Joy by Pattie's Creations.




I hope to see you in the new Crash Your Stash challenge!

Thanks for dropping by!

Life is Beautiful

During this time of Covid 19 Pandemic or Pandemonium as I like to call it, it is time to remember that Life Is Beautiful.  Enjoy every day that you have as you don't know if you will be here tomorrow or the next day or the next day.

I made this card using a stamp set by Hero Arts called Cherish. My background paper is by We Are 3 Digital Shop. I stamped the stamps onto the background paper with dark bluish green ink. I used Diamond Stickles to add some glitter here and there.

Ink Splat Butterfly

I made three cards this week using the same rubber stamp, just inked up in different colors and mounted on different backgrounds. For these three cards, I used a rubber stamp called Ink Splat Butterfly by Indigo Blu. My background papers are all by We Are 3 Digital Shop

For my first card, I stamped with green ink onto white cardstock and then cut out with a Spellbinders Candlewick Circle die, a wonderful set of nested dies.
The digital paper in the background is Floral Watercolor-Christmas Greetings by We Are 3 Digital Shop. I added a pink bow and some Diamond Stickles to the butterfly.

 



For my second card, I stamped the butterfly with dark blue ink onto white cardstock and then ran it through the Big Shot using Spellbinder Die DOMXL-OCT17 FLORAL LACE FRAME DIE SET, which was a Large Die of the month, but still available on the Spellbinders shopping site. The digital paper in the background is from the set, Fantasy Textures by We Are 3 Digital Shop. Again, I used Diamond Stickles on the butterfly.


For my third and final card, I stamped the butterfly in a taupe color. I cut the image out using my Big Shot and a Spellbinder die, Brilliante Rondelle. I mounted the die cut onto Fantasy Scapes, a digital paper by We Are 3 Digital Shop. I applied a copper color of fine glitter onto the butterfly.

Puppy Love

The beautiful digital papers from  We Are 3 Digital Shop can be used for so many types of cards. I think that is what I like the most. There are the obvious ways to use the paper and then there are the ways that your creative brain comes up with.


We Are 3 Digital Shop
https://www.etsy.com/shop/WeAre3






For my card, I used a paper from the We Are 3 Digital Paper set, Fairy Dreams - Big Wishes. The stamp set I used is Puppy Party (retired) by Close to My Heart. I stamped with dark purple and dark blue ink. The tree stump is also a stamp, but I don't know what company made it. Some of my stamps got separated from their packaging. I hate when that happens.  I used my Mysti to get a really deep crisp impression. The stump is colored with Copic markers. The overall card size is 6 x6 inches.

Fairy by Sherry West Art

 I used another beautiful digital paper from the set of 8 digital papers by We Are 3 Digital Shop called Pastel Fantasy and the one I chose to work with is Pink Kaleidoscope.


I made my card for the Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge which goes for two weeks and the poem is HAVE YOU WATCHED THE FAIRIES BY ROSE FYLEMAN. 

Sherry West Art is sponsoring this challenge and I used her cute fairy image.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/SherryWestColoring







I printed the We Are 3 digital paper onto cardstock. After embossing an oval die cut, I mounted my Copic colored fairy by Sherry West Art. I put some Diamond Stickles on her wings.

The Colors of Fall

I made a card for the Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes challenge. 

 For the month of October our sponsor is: Sherry West Art


You may enter 3 projects that will be eligible for the draw for the sponsors prize, your first entry can be entered into the inlinkz for the site wide draw.

Note:  The theme doesn’t have to be taken literally.  You may use any word or phrase out of it for your project.  Two week challenge.

 

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

The Colors of Fall

(Diane & Daniel Henderson)

Orange is for a pumpkin big and round.

Yellow is for leaves that fall to the ground.

Red is for an apple ripe for eating.

Green is for monsters that go trick or treating.

Brown is for a football, thrown down the field.

Purple is for grapes from a bountiful yield.

Blue is the sky what a wonderful sight.

Black is for cats that howl in the night.

White is the moon looking quite luminescent

Sometimes it shines in the shape of a crescent.

Pink stripes at a sunset ending our day.

Tan is the scarecrow  - the color of hay.

Grey is the shadow of geese flying by.

Kaleidoscope colors that lift our hearts high. 


Here is my card with a Sherry West image.

I colored with Copics and my background layer is from a Lang calendar that I recycled. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Fantasy Textures - Simply Spring

Some time ago, I won a gift card from Gina K Designs and I chose some Framescapes by Theresa Momber. For today's card, I used the Simply Spring Framescape and used a gorgeous digital paper from  We Are 3 Digital Shop called Fantasy Textures-Under the Sea. My card is down below.

We Are 3 Digital Shop
https://www.etsy.com/shop/WeAre3





 I loved the rich jewel tone colors of the Under the Sea paper in the Fantasy Textures set even though the scene is definitely above ground! I stamped in black Gina K ink many of the stamps that came in the set.  I love this black ink because it is so rich and stamps perfectly.

Under the Sea

For my cards today, I have used a beautiful set of 8 digital papers by We Are 3 Digital Shop. It is called Under the Sea.

We Are 3 Digital Shop
https://www.etsy.com/shop/WeAre3






For my first card, I used Under the Sea-Coral Reef digital paper. I printed it off on cardstock and then stamped on it with some stamps from Lavinia and Lavinia World (Fairy Hugs). I used die cuts from Underwater World by Amy Design ADD10211, also sold at Lavinia World. This die set comes with a 5 inch long seascape, shells, fish, starfish, and bubbles. It is one of three Underwater World sets. I hope to own them all by the end of the year! LOL

Here are some links to the various items I used.
