DT: Icing on Top

Pin It
Dear Scrappers,

This is Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion sharing with you my last design for Connie Can Crop, a layout that I created using this month's sponsor image gingerbread-lane-digital-stamp:


I used the sketch from last sketchy Saturday



The right side:

The left side:



I used glittery printed cardstock from my My Mind  Eyes, some KI alpha stickers and ephemera, and some rick rack. I'm planning to add the pictures of my children making a ginger bread house with their cousins 4 years ago...



I hope you enjoyed this card and decide to join us at Connie's, there is some time left for this month's challenge:

YouTube Tuesday-Waterfall Card

Pin It
Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.  For my final Youtube Tuesday video this month, I'm sharing the making of a waterfall card using images from our sponsor this month, Craftin' Desert Divas.


I just made my first waterfall card last month and it's not that difficult but it sure does have a wow factor.  Why not try making one for our challenge this month.


You can make any sort of card or project you wish just so long as it contains a fancy fold.

One winner, picked at random,  will win two digital images from Craftin' Desert Divas.

My last DT Post for Connie

Pin It
Hi, Sue from Sue's Paper Crafts here with you today. This is my last Design Team project for Connie Can Crop. Our sponsor is:
 
I used my file to make my great-nephew's Christmas card.
 
 
Before printing my digi to color I colored the background and added Austin's name with my photo program then I used chalks to color the image.
 
The card base is a scrap in my stash. I added some jewels and twine and attached the image panel with foam dots.
 
Don't forgot to take part in Connie's last challenge:

Birthday Bear

Pin It
Hi folks!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards and it's my day to post here at Connie Can Crop.

I made a card using the Birthday Bear digital stamp by our sponsor this month, Craftin' Desert Divas.  You can visit them on Facebook on their blog or at their store.



I just started seeing the card fold I used to make this card.  I don't know its official name if it even has one, but it's simple enough to make.  If you want to see the dimensions, you can find them on the Hints, Tips & Tutorials page.  I called it a Double Z Fold Card, for lack of a better name.

I used Raspberry Ripple and Island Indigo card stock for the card base and mats.  The patterned paper is from the Birthday Basics Collection (from the former My Digital Studio). To dress up the mats, I embossed the larger mat with Swiss Dots embossing folder and the smaller with Birthday Candles.




Inside, the sentiment sits on a mat the same size as the front mat and placed in the same spot so it's hidden underneath until the card is opened.



I added a snippet of the bear in the corner just to tie it together with the front.


Have you entered Connie Can Crop’s challenge yet?  You still have time to make any project, just so long as it incorporates a fancy fold.



One winner, picked at random, will win their choice of two single digital images from Craftin' Desert Divas.  Visit them at their store to see what they have and check them out on Facebook to see the latest.

This is my last post as a design team member for Connie.  As always, it's been a pleasure to share my projects with you and I will miss you!  I will continue to visit Connie to see what awesome projects she makes and I hope you will visit me at Katydid Cards and even subscribe so you don't miss a thing.
