Trolls

I recently stepped down from the KBD design team to catch up with my personal life and recharge my batteries. Of course that does not mean that I have given up crafting! I'll still be here sharing my passion, I'll just be using a more varied source of inspiration.

Lacy Sunshine has recently come out with a line of adorable troll images that I love. She had a couple Freebies, "Broomkin Troll" and "Angelkin Troll" that I just had to color up and make into cards. 

The Broomkin Troll card measures 5 1/2 by 6 inches. The image is printed on a 3 1/2 by 4 inch piece of Spectrum Noir Cardstock and was colored with the new vintage colors from Spectrum Noir.

I also used a white gel pen on the eyes and the tooth.

My second card using Angelkin Troll is 5 by 7 inches. The image is printed on a 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch piece of Spectrum Noir Cardstock. I used a lot of palette blending when coloring this image.

Thanksgiving Indians

Today is my day to share on the Digital Delights by Louby Loo Blog for "Anything Goes." I made a little teepee centerpiece using the "Thanksgiving Indian Set" which can be found here:
http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_17&products_id=787

I created a tepee pattern in design space that looked like this:

Seven inch twigs were taped to every other crease line on the inside of the tepee. Then the tepee was formed into a cone and glued together in the back. The tepee is about 6 inches tall and the Indians are about 3 1/2 inches tall. The sentiment is about 2 inches wide.

Lou Lou Halloween

Hi! Today I am sharing a card made with "DS Lou Lou Halloween" from KaDoodleBug Designs. The image is printed on a 3 by 5 inch piece of Spectrum Noir Cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. 

The image is mounted on a 3 1/4 by 5 1/4 inch yellow mat. That is mounted on orange and purple triangular mats embossed with Halloween cricut folders. This was all mounted on a black 4 by 6 inch mat, then on a 4 1/2 by 6 1/2 inch yellow embossed mat. The finished card is 5 by 7 inches. All the papers are from Coredinations.

Thanksgiving Pilgrims Double Display Card

Hi! Today I am sharing my Hostess Monday project for Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

For my project I made a double display card. I got the idea for my card here: www.obsessedwithscrapbooking.com

I used "Thanksgiving Pilgrims Set" and "Fall Accessories Set" for my card. I printed and cut my images out at 3 to 3 1/2 inches using design space and my cricut explore. The images were colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. Small flower punch accents were added throughout.

I made the card base from a 6 by 12 inch piece of cardstock. The cardstock was creased at 2 inches, 4 inches, 8 inches and 10 inches. Cut lines were made one inch down from the top and one inch up from the bottom. They are 4 inches long from the 1 inch mark to the 5 inch mark and from the 7 inch mark to the 11 inch mark. These strips were then creased at the beginning and the end. (at 1 inch, 5 inches, 7 inches and 11 inches)

Two 6 by 2 1/2 inch panels are attached to the front of the closed card to create the display area. The band to keep the card closed is made from a 1 1/2 by 12 inch strip of paper mounted on a 1 3/4 by 12 inch strip of cardstock. This was loosely wrapped around the card and glued together in the back. A 4 inch fence and a 2 inch sentiment were attached to this band. Small flower punch accents were added.
