Passion For Promarkers Challenge #309 - Fun in the Sun

Hi Crafters,

 

I hope you are enjoying some Summer Fun and good weather wherever you are!

This week it was my turn to choose the theme at Passion for Promarkers so it's all about having 'Fun in the Sun' and we are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs who are offering a fabulous prize of 4 digital images.

Medium - Pro/flexmarkers

Papers - Papercraft Inspirations Magazine Freebie

MFT Cute Cameras Die

Joy Crafts Filmstrip Die

Clear Glass Drops

 

I decided to make a folded card today for a change instead of the regular half fold, this is it opened out. You can see the inside with a plain circle to write your message on.

 

 

I haven't got one of those semi circle dies to cut the pop-out so I just placed a regular circle die in position on the fold and made sure that only one half was between the cutting plates and passed it through the machine - et voila! one pop-out semi circle.

 

 I created the filmstrip by firstly cutting it out of black cardstock and then embossing a piece of acetate with the same die. I cut the edges off the acetate leaving just the rectangular apertures to adhere behind the black die-cut.

Passion For Promarkers Challenge #283 'To Someone I Love'

Hi Crafters,
It's been a busy week here with not much time for blogging I'm afraid but I'm here today to share my DT card with you for the new challenge at Passion For Promarkers. We are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs this time and I have used a gorgeous image called 'Snow Queen' on my card today. I have coloured her a little differently to what her name suggests though, I moved away from the cold, showy and icy theme to this...

I used my Go Kreate Frilly #10 Large Frame dies and digital papers from Just So Scrappy - Bee Mine. The image is coloured of course, with Promarkers and I did an 'out of the box' technique with her long plait. For the love theme I incorporated  a Spellbinders 'Love Locket' die and a Magnolia branch that has hearts on the stems. I found some ruched tulle and rose trim in my stash along with the resin roses in both red and yellow to coordinate with the papers and then punched a heart border with an EK Success punch. I also decorated the inside to match, hopefully you can see in this picture...
