Tic Tac Toe Challenge # 17: "Give thanks" a super cute card feat. Lawn Fawn!

Hi everyone!! 

Today starts a new  Tic Tac Teo Challenge to play with! 

So.. here's a brand new board for you! 

I chose the third column: Sequins, Thank you and Fall theme.. and here's my card! 

I'm in love with these super super cute little hamsters!! They are adorable! :) 

I combined them with lots and lots of pumpkins here, to create a fall themed card. I had so much fun coloring all my pieces and creating the scene!! ihih! :)

Here's a little detail..

First of all i stamped al my images : 8 hamsters, 3 big pumpkins and 5 little pumpkins + all the custmized "open pumpkins". For making them i partially stamped my image once from the top to achieve the top part and then from the bottom. I colored and die cut everything. 

I made those emboss details on 2 stripes of white cardstock , i stamped my sentiments and those little hearts and i sponged some Spiced Marmelade distress ink on my panel to create a very soft and light background for my scene. 

I added some details to all my images with a white gel pen, i created my scene and i glued down all my pieces! :) I also added some sequins, and yeah they have a flower shape! How lovely?! ihih! :)

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #16 - A cat in a box feat. Simon Says Stamp!

Hi everyone!! 

Today starts a new  Tic Tac Teo Challenge to play with! 

So.. here's a brand new board for you! 

( Photo Inspiration)

I chose the bottom row: Clothespin, Birthday and Patterned Paper!

A cat in a box... is there anything cuter?! He's having fun in his little box! :)

This lovely images is from a mini set by Simon Says Stamp and it's perfect for every occasion because of the various sentiments included. You have " Happy Birthday", "We Moved", "You're my favourite"... 

First i stamped my little cat and the box onto some white cardstock, i colored it with my copics, i added some details with a white gel pen and i fussy cut it. 

Then i die-cut a stitched rectangle and i created some embossing at the bottom. For the top section i sponged some squeezed lemonade distress ink; I also die cut a little banner and i stamped my sentiment. Then added some patterned paper and a clothespin to complete my card! 

I love adding clothspin, it's a perfect way to attach a card on to the present directly! I think that with a cute coordinated ribbon they are the perfect match!! :)

Here's a little detail...

Sooo super cute!! I'm in love! :)

Today starts a new  Tic Tac Teo Challenge to play with! 

So.. here's a brand new board for you!

How cute is this little whale by Avery Elle?! It's too adorable! :)

Today i decided to improve my no-line coloring.. i'm still working on it but i'm pretty happy about it turned out this time! I stamped my image with a very very light ink and i started shading from my dark cool grey marker C5, then i used my C3 and finally my light one, the C1. 

I added some rosy cheeks and then i sponged all around the whale some distress inks to create the illusion of an ocean scene: dark at the bottom and super light at the top!

Here's a detail of my card..

For my sentiment i used a " hello" die by Technique Tuesday, i die cut it out of some black cardstock and then i piut some glossy accents on it to make it shines! :)

Tic Tac Toe Challege #11 a cute project feat. WPlus9!

Hi there and welcome back!!
Anothere Tic Tac Toe Challenge begins today! YAY!! 

As always you can choose 3 elements  (in a row) and create any project you want!!

Here's my inspiration for you...

Not a tipical card! ahah!! Today i just wanna show you a different project. I decorated this candle and i gave it to a friend of mine as a little birthday present. I loove it! And i hope she loves it too! ahah! :)

I used this adorable foxy by WPlus9, these stitched leaves are by Lawn Fawn and i created this scalloped stripe with a border die by Pretty Pink Posh.

Of course i was inspired by our board! This time i chose a diagonal line: Yellow, Ink Splatters and Scalloped border. 

Here's a detail of my project...

First of all i die cut and assembled my little foxy; i used some white and kraft cardstock and some markers to color those little eyes and ears.

(i also made a tutorial to create some super cute bookmarkers with this adorable foxy.. click * here * to see)

Then i die cut some leaves and i spoged them with some Shabby Shutters distress inks giving them some shadows. I also cut my stripe and i create my scalloped border, i sponged it with some Spiced Marmelade distress ink and then i splattered some little drops of Abandoned Coral distress ink color. I just put some ink on a acrilic block with some water and i used a brush to drop little and tiny amount of color here and there on my stripe.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge # 10! A little baby party set feat. ME!

Hi again! This is my secon post of the day.. To see my Butterfly Reflections Ink DT post, click * here * ! :)

________________________________________________________________________

Hi there and welcome back!!
Anothere Tic Tac Toe Challenge begins today! YAY!! 

As always you can choose 3 elements  (in a row) and create any project you want!!

Here's my inspiration for you...

For today i chose a diagonal line: Bow, Ombre and Baby and i created this little baby party set. 

I love making little set, so i made a cupcake topper a cupcake wrapper and a little card . I used those cuties by Mama Elephant and i love how all turned out! 

The colors are always pink and yellow, but i kept them softer on the card, that's why they don't relly pop on the picutre!

Here are some other pics for you...

How cute is that? I love muffins or cupcakes,.. i think that's the reason i'm obsessed with cupcake toppers and wrappers! ahah!!

 Here in Italy they are not so popular..  i mean obviously there are some shops that sell muffins and you can find them at the market.. but our party are organized differently. There are no muffins or biscuits that coordinate the party theme.. i think that maybe we do not have rather a theme! Yeah.. i'm sad about that but what i'm realizing  is that lot's and lots of family here do not chose a theme and build the party, they just make some food and invite some friends.. and that's all!

We might save time.. (decorations take lots of time!! ) but i think sometimes we just miss a super fun step! So today i just wanted to make a little little party set for a friend :)

Here's another deatil of my card...

This stamp set is so pretty that makes everything elegant and sweet!! :)

Tic Tac Toe Challenge # 9! A happy Birthday card feat. ME and SSS :)

Hi again! This is my secon post of the day.. This morning i posted my first christmas card for year 2016, click * here * to see it! :)

________________________________________________________________________

Hi there and welcome back!!
Anothere Tic Tac Toe Challenge begins today! YAY!! 

As always you can choose 3 elements  (in a row) and create any project you want!!

Here's my inspiration for you...

I chose the middle row: Birthday, Sponging and White space and this was a challenge for me, because i'd love to make a birthday card for a friend of us, but i have some problems making masculine card for adults. Really i do not even know how to design a classique and seroious card so.. i did not! aahah! Yeah.. i just colored this cutie by Mama Elephant and it's perfect all by itself! ahah! Then i added some layers to give some dimension and i created this cool blue background with the stripped stencil by Simon Says Stamp.

It's super simple but i like it! :)

And remember when in doubt.. go for cuteness! :) ihih!! 

I'm also entering these challenges:
