CAS Hoedown

This week's Hambo Hoedown challenge is to use any Hambo image rubber or digital to make a CAS (clean and simple) design I used the digi image Microphone that I received free for playing in last week's challenge. Here's my card...

 
I colored Microphone with my C1, 3, 5, 7 and Y 13, 15, 17 Copics For fun I added a gold brad and a red and white twine cord. This was a fun card to make and I enjoyed making a CAS design.

A LittleThumbthing

Hip Hip Hooray! I had time to play at the Hambo Hoedown this week. The challenge was to use metal on whatever you created. So I looked through my stash and found some metal bottle top magnets. Here's what I came up with ...
 


 
 
 
 Here's a close-up of the bottle cap magnet. 

 
I used Hambo's Fingerprint  and Thumb Thing stamps. Yes it is a stamp and not my thumbprint! For the facial features I used stamps from the Stampin'Up set Make a Monster. I drew on the hands and feet. After I punched out the image I put a clear circle sticker on top of it and attached it inside the bottle cap with a 1 " pop dot. I attached the finished bottle cap to the tag with a glue dot so that it can be removed and used as a magnet.

The paper piercing template came from Fred She Said and it fit's Stampin'Up's Top Note Die perfectly. Join the challenge and show us some love and romance.

Anything Goes @ Party Time Tuesdays

This week's challenge at Party Time Tuesdays is Anything Goes! I need a birthday card for a friend so I used this cute mouse and cheese stamp by Hambo Stamps to make this card...
 
 

I wanted the background to look like Swiss cheese, so I punched the card stock with different size hole punches. Then I sponged around the holes to give it some depth. The image, Say Cheese, is colored with Copics. I just love the sentiment, Cheese, Louise. I used another Hambo sentiment, Another Birthday? inside. It says "Another birthday? Didn't you just have one last year?"
 
I hope you'll join us over at PTT and share with us your Anything Goes creations.

Going Round @ the Hoedown

The Hoedown challenge this week is to use a Hambo digi image or stamp to make a circle shaped card that has spirals or swirls somewhere on it. I used Penguins and Have an Ice Day to make a telescoping circle card. Here it is closed...

 
and here it is opened...
 
 
Can you find where I used swirls? The snow is dry embossed with swirls and there's a swirl brad on the front. It was a fun card to make and perfect for the cold weather we've been having here in Maryland.

Matching Card & Envelop

The Party Time Tuesdays challenge this week is to decorate an envelop or make a card and decorate a matching envelop. I used the Border of Blooms by this week's sponsor, Floppy Latte Digital Designs, to make a card & matching envelop. Here's the front of the envelop with the matching card...

 
Here's the back of the envelop with the  matching card...
 
 
I cased the layout for my card from Andrea Wolford of The Paper Craft Library. I like the image and sentiment on a slant and the clean and simple look of the white on white. The image is colored with Copics - RV22, 24, 25 and G21 & 24. To make the medallion to seal the envelop, I colored and cutout one of the flowers from the image and glued it to a gold sticker that I found in my stash.
 
Join the PTT challenge and show us what you can do with an envelop.
