Custom Card Monday - A 21st Birthday at the Casino!

I had someone contact me on Etsy asking for a custom card for their nephew who was turning 21.  They were going to give him a gift card that he could use at a casino.  Here's what I came up with:

The digi is by Kenny K and I colored her with Copics.  I added some paper from DCWV Guy Stack.  The cards are an embossing folder from Tim Holtz.  I added some green distressing.  The poker chips are from some retired Stampin Up paper and I just punched them out and popped them up.  Added some linen thread and a distressed birthday banner.

Inside was simple space for the gift card.  Just added more of that retired SU paper and created a little pocket.  Also has a little room for writing!

Entering this in the following challenges:

One Stitch at a Time : Use a Digi

That Craft Place : Men

Through The Purple Haze : Attitude

Oh La La : Father's Day or Male

Papertake Weekly : Anything Goes

Craftitude : Pop it Up

Chocolate Coffee Cards : Embossing

Bearly Mine : One For The Boys

Crazy 4 Challenges : Man Made

A Custom Card

Once in awhile, I'll get a custom request come through from my Etsy shop.  Love these!  I got a request for an 18th birthday for a grandson who was very handsome, light skinned, black hair, brown eyes, who drives a blue car, and love guitars.  This is what I came up with:

Thought this Kenny K digi was appropriate! Inked him up with Copics.  Some die cutting, punching, twine, and a Stampin Up sentiment and we were good to go!

Entering this in the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday: An eye for detail

Creative Card Crew: Birthday

Make a card, thank a bailiff

Enjoyed my weekend making cards and painting my nails.  LOL.  So glad things have finally settled around here!  Anywho, I made a card for the bailiff that is on the case that I'm serving on as a juror.  He's been an extreme help, especially when I had the stomach flu last week.  He kept checking on me and making sure that I was OK.  He's done the same for the other jurors so I figured I'd make him a card that we could all sign and give to him once this is all over and done with.  

Used a Kenny K digi.  Put her on a simple card base made with SU card stock and paper from Miss Caroline (dilly dally stack).  Added some skinny black satin ribbon, SU corduroy button, some Robin's Nest dew drops, and a retired sentiment stamp by SU.  You can't see it, but I also added Crystal Effects to her boots, booty shorts, gloves, glasses, and lips.  

I was planning on adding something on the inside along the lines of she can be something to look at to stay awake in court.  LOL. We have an on going joke in the courtroom...we are always thinking of new ways to stay awake!

'Till next time!

Anything Goes with Party Time Tuesdays!

Since it is the last week of the year, this will be my last Party Time Tuesday post as a design team member.  Sadly, I can't carry out another 6 month term due to a military move next year.  (But, there are a few tricks up my sleeve, so stay tuned!)

Here is my last project with Party Time Tuesdays.  The theme is Anything Goes:

The digi is by Kenny K and was colored with Copic markers.  Background paper by DCWV (Glitter Sweet).  Cardstock is Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise by Stampin Up! Sentiment is by My Pink Stamper.  Also added some glitter to her wings.  

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Devilish Divas Halloween Hop!

Welcome to the Devilish Divas Halloween blog hop!  You should have arrived here from Sher's blog.  If you are just joining the hop and want to start from the beginning, please visit Dena’s blog and begin there so you don’t miss out on any of the SPOOKY projects!

 This is a Halloween-themed hop sponsored by Kenny K Downloads.  One lucky winner will win their choice of FIVE digis from the Kenny K Downloads store along with a fun Halloween goodie bag sponsored by our hostess, Dena Jones.  Details on how to enter are at the bottom of this post.  Here is a brief bio on our sponsor:

Digi and rubber stamps from KennyK are a fun and edgy way to add the perfect dose of attitude and style to all your creations! 

The creator, the artist, the man:  KennyK is a NYC-born professional illustrator who has brought his funky-but-slick, urban-influenced look to the cardmaking and papercrafts world.  His signature style can be seen throughout his various collection of pinup babes, sweet ‘n sassy girls, cool rockin’ dudes, kid’s stuff, retro characters and more at KennyDownloads.com

Now, on to my project:

This image is called Scarlett West, a part of Kenny K's Steampunk digis. :) Inked her up with Copics. Background paper is by Recollections (Steampunk Botanicals). Since the paper is so intricate (glossy, glittered, embossed, and distressed), I didn't need to do much. Added a couple of cogs (SU retired), a computer generated sentiment, and a couple of staples in the corner.

Glossy accents on her boots, leather corset trim, and goggles. Metal accents were filled in with silver gel pen. Also used gold gel pen for the buttons and gold cording on her jacket.

Tried to get an angle where you could see the gloss. Oh well!

Hope you enjoyed your visit! If you'd like a chance to win our blog hop candy, here's what you need to do:

1) Visit each blog in the hop and leave a comment that includes your email address on each one to be eligible. You must comment no later than midnight EST of Sunday, Oct. 21st.

Steampunk Birthday Card

I've had Lady Victoria by Kenny K in my files for eons now and I've kinda forgotten about her... until one of my friends asked me if I knew what "steampunk" was last week! LOL! It instantly made me want to her color her and put her on a card and think of all things steampunk!

Lots of distressing with my Tim Holtz distressing tool, ink and stamp by SU, gold embossing powder (birthday stamp, polka dots stamped on background), torn lace, staples, brad, and grommet eyelet.  The cajun colored piece also has flocked circles.  And hooray, all of these papers were in my scrap stash! 

Inked her up with Copics.  Added Crystal effects to her boots, her goggles, and the "glass piece" on her cane.
