Creative Knockouts 177 - Finish the Inside

Good morning stampers! Today I'm sharing my project for the challenge over at Creative Knockouts where the theme is....Finish the Inside! 

This week's sponsor is Kenny K Stamps, and they are offering a wonderful prize to a lucky player!

Here is my project, featuring Martial Arts Boy Stance from KennyK. The reason I chose this image is because my DS#1 is actually testing for his Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do TOMORROW and Saturday, and I thought this would be a great one for a little bit of a pick me up card for him as he is EXTREMELY nervous about this. We know he is going to do so well, but he's a perfectionist and that is ROUGH. So say some extra cheers for him tomorrow afternoon if you think of it!

The sentiments are from a couple of Paper Pretties sets, Karate Girl and Karate Boy. I stamped the inside sentiment on the Soft Sky paper as well as directly on the inside of the card, and hand cut some of the important words to highlight them. Dies on the front panel are from Gina Marie designs.

That's it for me today! Don't forget to swing over to the Creative Knockouts blog to link up your projects for your chance to win! My DT sisters have created some beautiful inspiration, so leave them some love too!

 

Imagine That Digis - Grand Piano

Hello out there in blogland! Are you ready for the weekend? It can't get here soon enough for my tastes! :)

Today I'm sharing a card I made as a Guest Design Team member for January at Imagine That! Digis by Kris. This card was inspired by my sons, who have been in piano lessons for several years now and just love it. They have come SO far! It's such a perfect image, as soon as I saw it I knew I needed this one! Featuring Grand Piano by ITDBK.

Image printed out and colored with Copic markers. Paper is from Kaisercraft. Die cut is an old Spellbinders that I've still kept around. Foam tape and sequins to finish it off. Standard A2 sized card. I kept this versatile, it can be used for a man or a woman, for any occasion, just finish off the inside with greeting or sentiment of choice and viola! Gotta love projects that turn out like this!

That's it for me, be sure to check out the store, there are some great new releases for January (I shared some projects last week, and the images are right at the top on the main page for easy reference), and I'll be back soon with another card to share!

Imagine That Digis - Photography Release

Hello lovely stampers! I'm back today with another fun, FUN project as a Guest Designer for Imagine That! Digis by Kris. Today is Day 2 for the January releases at ITDBK and the theme is Photography! There are 2 packages of digital papers and 2 different Camera/Photography themed image sets in this release. So many options! For my project, I have used Selfie Sandy, as well as papers from the set. Instead of buying each of these image sets individually, there is an awesome bundle available, where you buy the 2 image sets and get a bunch of coordinating papers for free! Check it out here.

Ok, on to my project for today. I hope you like her! I chose to use the precolored image today, I was a bit behind in crafty funtime after a crazy weekend with family and renovation project at home! I really liked this coordinating paper, so it ended up working out perfectly! I added a bit of darker brown lowlights to her hair for a bit more pop, and lots of gold accents; she just screams BLING ME! 

Dies from Gina Marie, gold glitter Sakuro gel pen for highlights, button from PTI, bow and gold swirl twine from The Paper Studio, sentiment from Fun Stampers Journey, and embossing folder is Darice. Check out the ITDBK blog, store, and Facebook page for more info, and check back later this week for one of my regular GDT cards!
