There's something magical about Christmas - DS4J Challenge #57

Hi
This is Pam and we have a challenge back at DS4J

Challenge #57 -THEME : 'Christmas Fantasy ... There's something magical about Christmas'

Yes there is something Magical about Christmas isn't there?
I decided to do a card in simple clean style. Hope I did have some success with it as this is outside my comfort zone. My style is more organic (ha ha ha)



The pattern paper is from dcwv stack
The poinsettia were cut using spellbinder die and then the edges dipped in versamark and then heat embossed. I also used dipped a perfect medium pen in versamark and drew some veins on leaf and petals and heat embossed
The digi image is Poinsettia candles from DS4J shop and colored with copics.
I liked the way my shadow coloring turned out. Remembered what Colleen Schaan taught us :). Love the way she teaches.
Some pearls and gold ribbon embellishment and there you have a simple card.

Now go and make a project and head on over to DS4J and post your project in the linky there. Aren't challenges so fun?

I am entering mine in some too :)

Butterfly

There was a new release at DS4J this week and I loved the frame in the release. I also had this butterfly image which I loved. It somehow screamed stained glass to me so decided to do a card




I colored with copics and spica and the die set is from marianne creatables which I got from http://dutchpapercrafts.blogspot.com/ . I love getting from her and she ships fast.

 I am entering this project  in these challenges

Box Card

I made this box card for my elfster in the secret santa exchange which was held for thebugbytes and shesasassylady blogs. I can share as I now know my elftser received it :)
I saw a couple of these videos in youtube on how to make it and decided that I would much rather like to cut it out in silhouette and so decided to make a silhouette file which of course I am sharing
Search for box cards to watch. I love interactive cards and this one was for sure fun to make
The kraft pattern paper is from hobby lobby I think the paper Studio brand. The medallion is from a fiskar stamp and cut with scallop circle spellbinder die. The ribbon I got from an online brad shop. I attached the medallion on top of belly band and not the card itself



And of course I needed to put some tags in it. All cut out with silhouette SD print and cut feature (from silhouette files which I modified)


It does conveniently fit in a standard envelope. If you want to grab the file (just the card basic)- look under the main tab under silhouette files

Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer!

Hello This is Pam from Papillon Digital Designs & The BugBytes today on Shes a Sassylady.
Thank you Sheila for having us in your design team and allowing us to post in your fun blog!
For today I have a card for you.

This cute digi image is from instyle stamps which came along with lots of images in a cd. Love this reindeer and had to color him. I decided to experiment and get bold with the background and colored the sky pretty dark . Colored with copics of course. The dark sky is using the B6 family ie B60-B69. Then it is feathered to V0 family and finally to YR0. While using copics I generally keep a scrap paper (a piece from the same kind of paper which I color and see how the colors blend and look by scratching in that) Guess the scratch paper practice stuck with me from watercolor days as my instructor used to ask us always to try on that before putting the brush on actual paper.

Well here is the card




The orange paper is really glittery and shiny

I have used Marianna Designables on the coredinations cardstock. Love how I can cut and emboss with it. I think the one I used is DS0907.  Then I rubbed the embossed paper with sandpaper to expose the white core.I have also used EK Success swirl punch on the edge. The reindeer image did not come with a background so I just sketched the snow and tree in.  I added some white snow with opaque white paint. I did add some glitter to the snow but you cant see it quite well in the photo. Some ribbons  and rhinestones to embellish. I punched out a snowflake from a paper to add as a medallion on the white ribbon. A Teressa Collins brad on the bow and a sentiment on the label inside completes the card.
Thank you Sheila once again and thank you readers for reading this post.
 Happy Holidays

Diva Gwendoline

Had to play with this new release digi from digistamps4Joy called Gwendoline
I have long wanted to do a step card but never tried it before so I decided to play with silhouette sd and design one. Of course I will load the the silhouette file for step card template in my blog. You can find it under the tab from main tab menu under silhouette files.

Here is the card using diva Gwen and colored using copics


The card is cut using silhouette SD. The pattern paper is a digi pattern from silhouette store and the butterfly and sentiments and the flowers and swirls and banners are all from silhouette store. You will recognize the small snowflake from yesterday's project. Had to use it again.
I will be entering this in a couple of challenges.
