The frog song

Bonne fin de semaine à tous,
Je viens de terminer une carte de St-Valentin avec les couleurs verte,bleue et blanche pour le défi chez Cricut Cardz challenge.  J'ai aussi suivi le croquis de chez Peachy Keen Stamp.  Polka Doodles a un thème d'amour à partir d'un film ou d'une chanson.  Moi j'ai choisi la chanson de Robert Charlebois:  I'm a frog!!!  Vous pouvez l'entendre ici.

A good week-end to everybody,

I just finished a Valentine's card with the following colours: green, blue and white for Cricut Cardz challenge.  I also followed the sketch from Peachy Keen stamp.  At Polka Doodles, they have a That's Amore theme from a movie or a song.  I choose a Robert Charlebois song:  The frog song.  You can ear it here.  It's a classic in Québec and quite funny!

J'ai utilisé ma Cuttlebug et le fichier Heart Block pour le papier de fond et j'ai mis de l'encre blanche par dessus.  Le coeur et la grenouille sont de la cartouche Paisley.  Le papier à motif est de DCWV et le reste de SU.  L'adorable petite face est de PKS et les fleurs de Wild Orchid Craft.  J'ai mis du Stickles sur la couronne et la fioriture.

I used the Heart Block folder for the background and then smeared some white ink on top.  The heart and frog are from Paisley cartridge.  The patterned paper is DCWV and the rest is from SU.  The adorable little face is PKS and the flowers Wild Orchid Craft.  I put some Stickles on the crown and the swirl.

J'avais un petit vidéo mais ça ne marche pas :(

I had a video but it's not working :(

J'ai mis la petite grenouille sur une Action Wobble pour la faire bouger!

I put the frog on a Action Wobble to make her move!

See ya all later,

Coccinelle/ Ladybug

Bonsoir tout le monde,
J'ai fait cette carte pour plusieurs concours:
À Cricut Cardz Challenge, le défi est de faire une carte avec les couleurs rouges, noirs et blancs seulement.
Chez Going Buggy, il faut faire un projet avec un insecte.  Enfys veut que l'on mentionne de quel pays on vient.  Je suis une fière Canadienne (et Québécoise!).
Pour Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday, il faut utiliser une de leur estampe de face et faire une carte de remerciement.

Good evening everyone,
I made this card for a few challenges:
At Cricut Cardz Challenge, we have to make a card using only the colours red, white and black.
 Peachy Keen Stamps Let's Face it Friday wants us to make a thank you card using one of their faces.
At Going Buggy, Enfys challenged us to make a card with an insect on it.  We also have to mention what country we're from.  I'm a pround Canadian!!!

 

J'ai utilisé la cartouche Create a Critter et coupé la coccinelle à 3.5".  J'ai découpé le pourtour en rouge avec ma nouvelle tranche que ma belle-soeur Patricia m'a donné.  C'est de Creative Memory et la lame a une coupe différente.  J'ai passé le papier noir dans ma Cuttlebug avec D'vine Swirl.  J'ai ajouté des brillants Stickles sur les ailes et mis du Crystal Effect sur les lunettes pour les faire briller.  La face est de PKS et tout le reste est de Stampin Up.

I used Create a Critter and cut the ladybug at 3.5".  I cut the red piece of cardstock with my new cutter that my sister-in-law Patricia gave me.  It came from Creative Memory and the blade has some kind of pattern.  I put the black paper through my Cuttlebug with the D'vine Swirl folder.  I added some Stickles to the wings and Crystal Effect to the glasses.  The cute face is PKS and the rest of the material is SU.

J'espère que vous aimez bien ma carte,

Brigitte

Bonne Fête from Mars!

Bonne soirée,
J'ai fait une petite carte de fête pour le cousin à mon mari.  Il joue présentement à un jeu video dans l'espace et je crois que cette carte le représente très bien!
Good evening,

I made this card for my husband's cousin.  He's playing a video game called Starcraft (or something like that, lol!) and I think that it's a perfect birthday card. 

J'ai utilisé la cartouche Everyday Paper Doll et j'ai coupé l'astronaute et le vaisseau à 3.5".  J'ai découpé les cheveux deux fois pour qu'il y ai de la texture et que la chevelure paraisse plus bouffante.  Ensuite, j'ai coupé à la main la vitre et j'ai écrit Bonne Fête avec un marqueur noir.  J'ai épongé l'habit et le vaisseau spatial pour donner un effet métallique et j'ai étampé la face avec une éstampe de Peachy Keen Stamp.  À la toute fin, j'ai mis du Crystal Effect sur la vitre.  Le papier est de SU.
 
I used Everyday Paper Doll cut at 3.5" for the spaceman and the ship.  I cut the hair twice in different size so it's layered and looks pouffy.   I cut freehand the window and I wrote down with a black marker the sentiment.  I sponged the suit and the spaceship to give them a metallic effect and I stamped a face from PKS.  I put some Crystal Effect on the window.  The paper is from SU.

Wine charms

Hi everybody, this is probably gonna be my last post for the Holidays.  I'm going away to see family and I won't have my craft room!
I made these little wine charms with Shrinky Dinks.  I welded the snowman from Doddlecharm with the hat from Paper Doll Dress up.  I then cut them with my Expression at Blade depth 6, speed 3, pressure 5 and multi cut at 3.  I colored with Copics and then shrunk them with my heat gun.  Much faster this way, you just have to be careful!

Before shrinking them

 I used Staz-on ink for the Peachy Keen stamp faces.  You have to remember to punch a hole before shrinking them!

Close up with the cute PKS face!

WAW, everything is suddenly so big!!!

The charms with beads.

 The snowflakes are from Accent Essentials.  The first snowmen I did, I totally forgot to use my PKS faces:(  I just colored them with Copics!

Close up with the beads.

 The Santa stamps are from Stampin' Up.  They were cut with Create a Critter.  The beads, wire hoop, jump rings and spacer are from Michaels.  Can you believe how cute those spacers are?!!!  They look like tiny gold ornament.  I had to use pliers to finish the hoop so that the beads don't fall off and to keep it close.

The gift box to put all of them.

Decorated box.

For the box, I used a piece that I already made for another project.  You can see it here.  The snowflake is from the Winter Lace cartridge cut at 4".  I then added ton of Stickles in pink and put bling with my I-Rock.
This gift is for my mother-in-law.  She's receiving for Christmas and there's gonna be a lot of us!!!  Don't want to mix those drinks up, lol!!!
Hope you all have a great Holiday.

Candles for Christmas

Happy hello to everybody!
I just finished these candles for my mother-in-law.    She's super sweet and we're staying with her for a week over Christmas.  I will also bring her some homemade meals and cookies!!!

 I made the sleeve to go over the candles with Stampin Up ribbon,  card stock and patterned paper.  The punches are Martha Stewart.  I used Winter Lace for the Snowflake and Doodlecharm for the snowman, the scarf and accessories are from Snow Friends.  I put some Glitter Ritz to add some sparkle, it doesn't show up very well in the pictures!  Also, I added stickles, it sticks to candle :)
The cute face is a stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps.

 I wanted to make sure that the candles would still be pretty when in use.  So I stamped some images on tissue paper (not toilet paper, lol!!!).  And then, I put it on the candle, put a sheet of wax paper over it and melted lightly with my heat gun.   I learned this when I was a Stampin'Up demonstrator ages ago.

I'm entering my candles in the following challenges:
Imagine-Nation at My Creative Time:  a gift
Flaut It Fridays:  use the Winter Frolic snowman. I don't have this cartridge, this is why I used Doddlecharm instead.
Hope you like it and that she (my mother-in-law) will also like it!

You're invited to participate in a good cause!

Hi,
At Turned Gypsy, Chris has a great idea to send cards and tags for little boys and girls in hospital.  I will send her those 2 cards by the mail on Monday:

I used the Hello Kitty Greeting and the new Lite cartridge Jolly Holidays.
For the little girl card, I used the card feature at 5 1/2" and cut all the layers.  I sponged and added some white accents.  The green shimmery elements are made with Glitter Ritz.  All paper and inks from both cards are SU.
For the elf, I cut him at 3 1/2" and I had to do some creative cutting since it's not on my Gypsy yet!!!  On the white trim, I put some Liquid Appliqué and then some stickles on the green.  The face is Basic Paper Doll from Peachy Keen Stamps.
I'm entering the Elf card on PKS Let's Face it Friday.  It had to be an invitation to a party.  This card is to make sure that kids all over America gets a little party, even in the hospital!
I just wanted to thank Michelle at Purple Monkey Moments for telling me where she saw the new Lite cricut cartridges.

Kisses Christmas card

Hi everyone,
I've been waiting to post this card for a few days now.  I received a Cottage Cutz die set that I won by leaving a comment on Paper Punch Addiction blog.  It's the cutest little monsters with 3 differents PKS monster faces.

Since I received it last week, after Halloween, I decided to be creative.  This is what I came up with:

 I cut just the head portion of the monster to make some Kisses!!!  I then stamped some PKS, more specifically, Retro Paper Doll, Funshine and Dolly Dumplins faces.  I used the Forever Young cartridge for the box and Christmas Cheer for the leaves.  I added some bling with my I-Rock, sponged the edges  and doodled with a white and Early Espresso marker.  I made the little Kisses tail with some tissue paper and stamped on it with Sweet Talk from SU (might be retired?)  The paper, ribbon and ink is SU.   The sentiment is from my local craft store, can't remember the name of the company.

This is the inside of the card, I managed to glue the strip of paper crooked, lol!!!
I hope you enjoy, leave me some comments telling me how you like it, or not!

Congratulation card

Hey everyone,
I made a congratulation card for my friend.  She just got a new job and she's in heaven.  We're going to brunch with her and her kids and I will give her this sweet card.

 The paper, ink, punch, ribbon and the "Félicitations" stamp are from SU.  I added some Diamond stickles and some faux stitching with white and brown pen.  I sponged around the edges of the cardstock.  The face is from the set Dolly Dumplins at PKS.  I never thought I would use the 3/8" size, but it fits perfectly!!!

I will enter my card in the Let's face it Friday challenge at Peachy Keen Stamp.  Your project had to have polka dot, white as main focal point and obviously using one of their cute faces!
Have a great Sunday, we're headed off to brunch.

Lego Birthday card

Wow, another post today.
The previous card was for a little boy.  This one is for his older brother.  He just turned 9 a few days ago and he loves Lego!!!  So I decided to make him a card:

Don't you think that he looks like the minifigurine?
I used Everyday Paper Doll cartridge for the little guy and Opposites Attract for the LEGO.  I cut the shapes with George and Basic Shapes.  All the material is from SU.
The face is from PKS.  Just after I finished my card, I received my new PKS stamps in the mail!!!  Talk about bad timing :(
I will enter this card in Getting Cricky's cartridge challenge: Boyish Charms.
See you later,
Brigitte

Happy Birthday with Create a Critter

Hi everybody,
There is a challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2.  You have to use the dog on page 35 of Create a Critter (if you have that cartridge!).  It also qualifies for Getting Cricky's cartridge challenge: Boyish Charms.  This is what I came up with:

This card is for my friend's son and he's turning 4.  On the hat, it had a 1, so using my Gypsy, I removed the 1 and welded a 4 from Plantin Schoolbook instead!!!  Tada, a custom hat for the little guy!
The paper and ink is SU.  The brown pattterned paper is K & Company.  I put the bashful blue cardstock through the spots and dots cuttlebug folder and sponged blue and brown ink on it.  I added some bling with my I-Rock and some doodling with white and black pen.  The cute face is from Critter faces set at PKS.
Hope you enjoy,
Brigitte

Imagination Monday Buttons

Hello,
I made a Christmas card with the Doodlecharm cartridge.  I cuttlebugged the medallion with D'vine swirl and used the cute Basic Paper Doll PKS.  I added some doodling and sponged the paper for a vintage look.   Also, I traced with a gold pen around the oval shape.

The paper, ink and burgundy button are from SU.  The border punch is MS and I don't remember where I got the heart button!!!
I will enter this card in Emma's Imagination Monday Challenge:  Buttons, Buttons, Buttons.
I hope you have a fantastic week, mine already started Sunday.  I had to go to work early yesterday to go search for a person that fell in the water off the coast of Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia!

Snowman ornament

Hello,
It took me all morning to make this ornament.  If you have seen my blog before, you might notice that the pattern of my snowman is the same as my pumpkin centerpiece.  I just put 3 spheres together.
This is for Let's Face it Friday at Peachy Keen Stamps.

I embossed the pieces of cardstock with the Snowflake folder, then sponged Soft Sky on them and added some embossing powder.  I made the little hat with some black paper and the button are made with a punch and stickles.  The ribbons are SU.

I like PKS so much, that I couldn't decide with stamp to use, so I picked 2 and made my ornament reversible!!!  It can be used as a centerpiece or suspended.

I added a lot of hot glue to the bottom of my snowman so he can stand up by himself. The bigger circle dimension is 1 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" long, the middle one is 1" by 6" and the head is 3/4" by 4".
I hope you enjoy, I certainly had fun making him!!!

Cupcake birthday card

Hi everybody,
Today I made a card after watching My Pink Stamper Ustream video.  The challenge was to make a card using the colors pink, purple and green/brown.
I choose that cute little cupcake from Create a Critter cart and cut it at 3.75 inches.  I cuttlebugged the icing with swiss dot folder and sprayed some Shimmer Glimmer to add some dimension.  I put some crystal effect on the cherry and added some white gel pen accents.  The cute face is from PKS and all material from SU.

I didn't put any sentiment , I will wait till I know if I need to use french or english wording!

As soon as I figure out how to upload my card to Robyn's challenge post, I will do it.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and watch my projects!

Sport theme Thursday throwback

Hi everybody,
Today I made a card for Emma's challenge.  It had to be sport related.  I decided to make a little ballerina.  I did ballet for many years and I know how much of a workout it is!  I used the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  The paper is SU and the cute face is from PKS.  I added some crystal effect to make the eyes shine and also some stikles on her shoes and bow.  I decorated with some white gel pen and a piece of ribbon.  The green cardstock got cuttlebugged with seeing spots.

If you can believe it, the background paper started as a white sheet of cardstock.  That's how it started:

This is how the magic happened:  I put some doublesided tape on the paper.  I stuck some ribbon on it and I sprinkled purple Glitter Ritz on top.  I then removed the ribbon and added the violet highlight Glitter Ritz(white shimmering effect) .  Et voila, original pattern paper that you won't find anywhere else!!!
I love how it turned out, she looks ready for a dance recital!!!
