CIP - YT Girl Tag

CIP - Smile

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I've made a card to brighten someone's day, and painted it up with the shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  The image (Photo Lizzie, by Whimsie Doodles) has several colors: Turquoise, Antique Silver, Sage, and Silver Frost.  The scalloped background she's on is accented in Turquoise as well.  I had a bit of fun with some white seam binding and Sapphire Inspirations paint.  Just added a bit of alcohol to the paint and coated the seam binding.  Then I rinsed it with water to lighten it up for my project.  Just crinkled and used my heat gun to dry.

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

CIP - Family Christmas Wishes

Hello there Creative Inspirations Paint fans!  I hope that you're all enjoying this holiday season in whatever way you choose to celebrate!

This sweet little gal is from Whimsie Doodles, such a cute image!  I've colored her in Copics and went over the pink with Creative Inspirations Paint in the Pink Highlights, and the white under the 'fur' in Winter Frost.  I've cut a paper doily in half and sprayed it with glimmer mist, the flowers are IAR, and the pretty crocheted piece behind the largest flower was done by my Mom.

Here is the Creative Inspirations Paint used:

Mr Fix It

Hello crafty friends!  I was very lucky yesterday and won a Whimsie Doodles store credit from their blog hop.  Thank you so much Whimsie Doodles!  Of course I had to go right over and choose some of the darling images they have, and the one I've used on this project is called Mr. Fix It. 

While many people relax on a long weekend, my Dad is Mr. Fix It and has been spending his Labor Day weekend working on projects.  He is forever looking for a paper and pencil to jot down measurements, and I thought his own little notebook might help.  This comes from a multi pack that probably came from one of the office stores.  It had no cover, so I cut a piece of chipboard to fit, covered it in Kraft cardstock, and used some Cosmo Cricket paper for the background.  The image has been colored with Copic markers, and Creative Inspirations Paint was used on his shirt, buttons, and screwdriver. (Antique Silver, Fairy Dust)  The lettering is from a set of stickers I've had stashed away for quite a while, and I've gone over the lettering with the CI paint as well.  The bling is from my stash, the ovals are cut from Spellbinders dies, and I've used Tea Dye distress ink around the edges. 

The Challenges I'm entering are:

CI Paints Challenge - Inspired by Labor Day
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - #91 - Sparkle and Shine (bling and CI shimmer paints)
Totally Stampalicious - Anything Goes
OOZAK - Sparkle (bling and CI shimmer paints)

Pencil Pixie Tag

I've used an adorable freebie called Pencil Pixie from Whimsie Doodles to create a girlie back to school tag.   She's been colored with Copics and Creative Inspirations Paint.  I've added some K & Company dimension sticker flowers, some recollections bling, 3 orange buttons from my stash, and some ribbon and fiber to tie off at the top.

The CI Paints used are: Fairy Dust, Winter Frost, Chocolate, Amethyst, and Autumn Wheat.

The Challenges I'm entering are:

CI Paints Challenge - ABC (anything but a card)

Totally Papercrafts #131 - Zesty Summer Colors

A Touch of Christmas #10

A Touch of Christmas, week 10! The weeks are just flying by and it will be Christmas again in no time. I'm having a great time crafting the projects that will make this year's holiday season much more relaxed for me. (alright, maybe not relaxed...but my cards will be done!) Now if I could just stick to making more of those gift tags I would be doing great!

I'm entering this card into a few challenges:
Stamp, Scrap and Doodle #30: Open Challenge
Sketchy Colors #14: Sketch
Curtain Call #20: Color Challenge

This week I used an adorable skater from the Go Figure set by Whimsie Doodles. Isn't she adorable? I was so lucky in winning the random drawing at Saturday Spotlight last week, and just had to use one of the pretty digi stamps I chose. She's colored with Copic markers with Spica, and Clearstar accents. I've added some Flower Soft on her coat, a Prima flower, punched leaves, a bit of ribbon, and beads on a pin.
