Creative Inspirations By Karen: August 2020

Monday, August 31, 2020

This was made for this week's ABC (Anything But A Card) at Catch The Bug.

For this one I made a wine bottle tag using the Bugaboo stamp called Men Are Like Fine Wine. I used an edge punch, added a bow and some gems. I created, cut and scored the tag itself using my Cricut.

Thanks for looking!

This is today's Friday Freebie over At Bugaboo Stamps. This is available Friday - Thursday.

I made this card very CAS, Just the image and a bow on a cardstock base. I colored the image using Microsoft Paint 3D. I even added the "you r dum" on the chalk board to prove the point. LOL

Thanks for looking!

Wednesday, August 26, 2020

This card was made almost entirely from using my Cricut. I created the step card pattern on my Cricut so so that I can make it whenever I want. I cut the watermelon boarder using the Cricut as well. I added twine, a bow made from some CTMH ribbon, gems and this adorable image from Cute As A Button called Watermelon Patch.

Thanks for looking!

Mermaids Have More Fun

This was made for the Incy Wincy Design's Mermaids and/or Sea Colors challenge.

The sponsor this fortnight is Oddball Art Co. who supplied us with these adorable images to play with. I played with Nixie Spirit Of The Sea.

I added a lot of sparkle to this creation...figured she was under the salty see, and it can sparkle! For the sparkle I used my Shimmer Pens from CTMH. :) I added a plastic sea plant (was formally on a necklace), some shells, a twine bow and a few pearls.

Thanks for looking!

The challenge this fortnight is a sketch challenge this is the sketch:

We are being sponsored by the fab My Besties w/Sherri Baldy. The image I used is My Besties Enchanted Unicorn Sweets. I cut the image out using my Cricut, added some DP, flowers, a bow, gems and a rubber stamp sentiment from CTMH. I used two different CTMH shimmer brushes on the cake.
