10 Min Craft Dash #23: Birthday

Decided to join in the fun of the current 10 Minute Craft Dash.  

It is the challenge's one year anniversary!

Would have been less, but the Glossy Accents and I got in a battle (clogged)...

The gloss won and I switched to my Scotch Quick Dry.

 

Supplies:

Papers: Simple Stories

Bingo card: Jenni Bowlin

Arrow die: MFT "Lead the Way"

Stamp: Paper Smooches

You're the Cat's Meow!

Another birthday card for a female.

This card features a cat from Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Burbs" and papers from Simple Stories "Snap" 6x6 pad (LOVE that pad!!). 

I made this using the 10 Minute Craft Challenge and colors.
This challenge is so fun.  
One time I knocked over a trash can dashing across the room.
This time my hands were shaking trying to tie the twine.  I was nervous!

This card took 8:40.7

Most of that time was spent coloring and fussy cutting the cat. 

 

I am entering this card into the following challenge:

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Papers:  Simple Stories

Other: Copics, journaling card by Recollections, Twine

Used a couple challenge prompts to make a card this weekend.

Design from CAS(E) this sketch, colors from the 10 minute craft dash 
and papers inspired by BG challenge. 

This card took 10:18. I went over b/c I cut the arrow in a blue paper first and it didn't pop enough so I re-cut in the dark pink BG paper from the pad. Definitely a good move.

Card features a Purple Onion thank you stamp (Thanks AMY) and 

papers by Basic Grey and MME.

Supplies:

Stamp: Purple Onion

Ink:  Distress in Broken China

Papers:  Basic Grey "Kissing Booth" and MME

Other:  arrow die "Lead the Way" set by MFT

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

10 minute craft dash #12

Basic Grey Challenge #88 :Anything Goes

CD10 and CFC86: follow your dreams...

Hi everyone.

I am still around.

I am taking a graduate class this spring and that is keeping me very busy.

The boys are both playing basketball too and I am coaching one of the teams.

I will be announcing winners for the Card Drive for Addison soon.

Just waiting to hear back from some sponsors to coordinate the prizes.

 I am sure CHA has them very busy still.

  In the meantime, I needed a birthday card for a little girl 

so I used the 10 minute craft dash  for the colors to get the juices flowing.  

The long card is inspired by the current CAS-ual Friday challenge #86: long and short.

This card took 9:30:9

Most of the time was spent coloring.

I knocked over the trash can  lunging across the room to grab a pink gem.

I wonder what comedic acts are performed in the making of other people's cards...

 

 Added Glossy Accents to the bike.

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Ink: Memento black and London Fog

Patterned Papers: MME

Other: Glossy Accents, TH tiny attacher, Copics, gem

Thanks for visiting,

Snowman Gift Bag

I needed to decorate a bag for a gift so I decided to set the timer and play along

with the Ten Minute Craft Dash and CAS-ual Fridays #83.

I precut the paper and started the timer.

I stamped the snowman and colored parts with Copics and adhered it to the bag.

I added the flocking to the hat and scarf and shiny fabric paint on the eyes

A dab of Stickles on the snow gives added some fun!

This project took 9:02.  

I ended up cutting the talk bubble twice b/c I smudged the first one 

so that added a but more time to this quick project.

Supplies:

Stamp: sentiment by HA, snowman set purchased at Hobby Lobby

Paper: MME

Dies: Talk Bubbles by Simon Says Stamp  (these ROCK)

Other: Washi, MS flocking powder, Stickles, Perfect Pearls

I am entering this bag into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp: Christmas

10 minute Craft Dash #9: Holiday

CAS-ual Fridays #83: Dashing Through the Holidays

Craft Dash #7: Simply Delightful

Sharing a card I made for the 10 minute Craft Dash #7

Features "Simply Delightful" and Typically Teen" by the Craft's Meow.

Thought I'd play with the crushed ribbon and make a large bow.  

Not my usual style (thick to mail), but happy with the result.

The card took 7 minutes and 32 seconds to create. 
All the stamps and inks were ready to go.
That bow took most of it, hee hee! 

 

 I am also entering this into Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge.

Still time to join the Card Drive for Addison!

10 minute dash #6

Had a few minutes the other day before picking up the little one from kindergarten so I decided to do the 10 minute craft dash challenge.  

This card took 9:48.

I had everything set out and collected and the panels cut so the 

time was mainly spent coloring!

The balloon and hat were colored and cut out while the frog 
was stamped and colored directly on the paper.  
Could not get his cheeks to blend more so he has a big blush!
Must be visiting a girl frog, hee hee

Supplies:

Stamps: Purple Onion

Polka Pot panel: MME

Other: Copics, Glossy Accents (balloon), Peeled Paint Distress

Thanks for looking.

Please consider joining my Card Drive for Addison.

Ends 12/20.  AWESOME prizes!

10 Min Card (more like 12:68)

Decided to give the 10 Minute Craft Challenge a try.

It was rather fun, but it took me 12 minutes and 68 seconds.

I did not plan on the fact that I only had a small space cleared on my desk and had to stop and clean up all the ink before I could finish the card! 
Then as I went to grab the white card based I noticed ink all over my hand and had to wash!

I embossed the chevron in white.

The background was made with 3 distress inks and water mists.

I heated the panel to get it to dry quickly.

I tried to "hide" that reddish line with the flower.  A bit still showed.

Here are the colors for the CDC Challenge:

I am also entering this card into the By the Cute and Girly: Birthday challenge

Supplies:

Chevron stamp by Lawn Fawn

Sentiment by Paper Smooches

Distress Inks:  Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, Broken China

 Definitely a FUN challenge to do!!!

Love to have you join my Card drive for Addison if you have time...

10 minutes maybe? 

*wink * wink*
