Digi Haven Challenge "Valentine's/Love"

February is the month of Love and Valentine's Day! That is just what the Digi Haven Challenge is about this week. We have another wonderful sponsor: My Grafico. The challenge will last 2 weeks and the winner will receive a stamp set from our sponsor. (Isn't that generous?)

Here is my card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: White, Pink and Patterned Paper

My Grafico "Valentine Teddy" Digital Stamps

Spectrum Noir Markers

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Ticket Talk, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Spellbinders Nestabilities Reverse Wonky Rectangles, 2nd Smallest

Thin Purple Ribbon

Queen and Co Rhinestones Lavender, 3 Small

Mounting Tape

The bears are matted on the pink cardstock and single mounted on the card. The balloon, the flowers and the sentiment are also single mounted. I used a marker (Spectrum Noir) around the sentiment. 

Please check out the other designer's at Digi Haven (click here) and see how we all used the same stamp set so differently. Don't forget to join in for a chance to win a stamp set from My Grafico. Can't wait to see what you make!

Digi Haven December Anything Goes Challenge

This will be our last "Anything Goes" monthly challenge here at Digi Haven. We are changing things up for the new year. For this challenge however, please use a FREE digi and link back to the original artist. It's that simple. Can't wait to see what you come up with....

Here is my card:

And the inside:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White
Stamp Fairy  Digital Image
Spectrum Noir Markers
Spellbinders Nestabilities Reverse Wonky Rectangles (2nd, 3rd and 4th Largest)
Sizzix Embossing Folder Snowflakes
Clear Extra Fine Glitter
Mounting Tape

My inspiration while making this card was from the Christmas song "Let It Snow". (Bet you could have never guessed that!). Fairly simple...added glitter to the embossed snowflakes and the noses and top of the snowman's heads on the front of the card. (Not really sure if you can see it in the photo). The smallest "Let It Snow" is double mounted and the larger one on the front is single mounted. I like the way it turned out...hope you do too. (The photo really does this card no justice).

We are still looking for a few new designers, so if you are interested please check out the Digi Haven site with all the info. We are having a Grand Re-opening on Jan 4th...with lots of changes, sponsors and prizes. Don't forget to check it all out. Until then, I hope you decide to join us with this "Anything Goes"Challenge...and a reminder, use a FREE digital image and link it back to the original artist.

Digi Haven October "Anything Goes"

It's our second monthly "Anything Goes" Challenge over at Digi Haven. Please use any free digital image (make sure it's free the whole month).

It's October and to me, when I think about October, I think Halloween! I actually have two cards. Both of the free images are from A Sucree Life.

First card:

Second Card:

Both Finished Cards: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
(First Card)
Cardstock: White and Black
A Sucree Life Digital Image
Spectrum Noir Markers
Inkssentials Glossy Accents
$1 Stamp "Spooky"
White Pigment Ink

(Second Card)
Cardstock: White, Ivory and Black
A Sucree Life Digital Image
Spectrum Noir Markers
Spellbinders Nestabilities Reverse Wonky Rectangles (4th Largest)
Inkssentials Glossy Accents
Computer Generated Sentiment
3-D Spider Sticker
Mounting Tape

The spider is completely covered with Glossy Accents to make him shiny. I also used Glossy Accents (although I think it is hard to see) on the web on the skeleton/bone card. It appears that I used two different Spellbinders for the "Bad to the Bone" sentiment, however, I only used one and I used my marker on each side of the shape. The effect is pretty cool, huh? The skeleton/bone image is single mounted, as is the sentiment.

I hope I inspired you with my cards and you decide to join the challenge (make sure you link back to the original artist and image...we want to give them the credit they so richly deserve).

Thanks for dropping by....leave me some love (comment). I always appreciate hearing from you.

Digi Haven Challenge Fins and/or Feathers

If you are looking for CardzTV Challenge #14, click here.

This is a really fun challenge at Digi Haven. Use a free digital image that has either Fins or Feathers. The challenge will run for 2 weeks now (to give everyone a chance to find a freebie). I found four different ones and made 3 different cards!!! (lol)

Here is my first card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White and Patterned Paper
Elizabeth O. Dulemba Coloring Pages, Shark
Bird Cards Digital Images, "Have a Fin-tastic Day"
Spectrum Noir Markers
Spellbinders Nestabilities Reverse Wonky Rectangles, 4th Largest
Queen and Co Rhinestones, Lavender 3 Small
Mounting Tape

I single mounted the sentiment and double mounted the shark. I think he's a cutie, don't you?

Second Card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Brown and K and Company Tag
Paper Smooches Digital Images, Owl, Branch and "You're a Hoot"

Brown Ribbon
Mounting Tape

I single mounted the tag, the branch and the feet of the owl on the branch. The body of the owl is double mounted to make him even on the tag.

Third Card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White and Blue
The Alley Way Digital Images, Fish and "Just Keep Swimming"
Spectrum Noir Markers
Sizzix Wood Sign
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder D'Vine Swirls
Fiskars Textured Plates, Woodgrain and Stones
Tan and Brown Chalk
Mounting Tape

I embossed the blue card stock with D'Vine Swirls, then chalked it with tan chalk to highlight the swirls. The sign I embossed with the woodgrain textured plate after cutting it out with the Sizzix die. After coloring it with a Spectrum Noir Marker, I chalked it with brown to highlight the grain. I colored the fish, fussy cut it and embossed it with the stones textured plate. I single mounted the sign and double mounted the fish.

I hope you decide to play along. Don't forget to link the original artist.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a comment. I would love to know what you think.
