Pop-Up Birthday Greetings with a New Challenge at Crafty Gals Corner

Welcome to Crafty Gals Corner's challenge this week with the theme being Humor with this being the week of April Fool's!!! NOW, one added mention is that Samantha is offering a special prize to a Design Team Member if you leave a comment and vote on our projects - VOTE FOR ME!!!! (hee hee) We have two (2) fabulous sponsors this week: 

Paper Temptress

Prize: $25 Gift Certificate

AND

Lacy Sunshine

Prize: 3 Digital Images 

I thought I would use Lacy Sunshine's Raggedy Boo and make her into a pop-up birthday card with my humor being in my sentiment from Create withTLC:

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• Paper Temptress paper was used for my pop-up box - don't you just love the sparkle of the blue???
• tutorial I followed for the pop-up box is from Splitcoasters with just a few minor changes as being the paper was 8.5 x 11 inches - I subtracted 1/4-inch from each of the score lines to make up for the size of paper which worked out purrfectly!!
• on the edge of each of the box fold-outs, I centered Martha Stewart Eyelet Border Punch with adding a pink piece of Paper Temptress paper under the flap to showcase the punch
• Raggedy Boo was colored with Prisma Colored Pencils, Spectrum Noir and Prisma Markers with gel pen accents and fussy cut around the edges - I also used an additional piece of paper behind to strengthen Raggedy to stand tall to wish the birthday wishes
• sentiments, "Happy Birthday to You", and "Happy Birthday! weren't you old enough last year?" had been previous freebies from Create with TLC and chalked around the edges 

There is a wonderfully talented group of ladies at Crafty Gals Corner and I hope you stop and visit my teamies and give some bloggy love!

Crafty Gals Corner Sweethearts Challenge - Add a Heart

Welcome to Crafty Gals Corner second challenge with the theme of Sweethearts. We have two (2) fabulous sponsors for our challenge: Stitchy Bear ($10 gift card) and Paper Temptress (a $25 gift card)!!!!

Now, before I begin with sharing with you my project I would like to announce the winner from the blog hop and first challenge with Crafty Gals Corner from my blog using Random Number Generator - Lucky #6: Kim Kelly. Please send an email as to your preference to either the angel or the cross to hercraftiness@gmail.com.

For my project, I chose to use Stitchy Bear Butterfly Letter Collage and used 2 of the beautiful papers from Paper Temptress for my card:

I must confess, that I had an idea in my head with what I wanted to create with this image but drew a total crafter's block and it sat on my desk for 2 weeks before I completed it. 

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• Paper Temptress coral paper was cut into heart shaped card using the black-out of Designs on Cloud 9 Heart Doilies
• Paper Temptress opal paper was cut using Designs on Cloud 9 Heart Doilies - lattice
• Stitchy Bear Butterfly Letter Collage was colored using Whisper Strokes and Spectrum Noir Markers with gel pen accents
• butterfly spray is K&Co
• Darice tiny gem heart 
• shabby chic flower and antique button was a previous purchase from Miriam's Crafting Supplies 

• sentiment, "A million Hugs and Kisses"  is from Create with TLC More Hugs Word Art 
• image was from Create with TLC  - the image is Christmas, but I thought she looked like she belonged with love letters and fit in the shabby chic vintage look of my card 

I thank you for stopping by and visiting today. Don't forget to enter your project(s) at Crafty Gals Corner where the theme is sweethearts - add hearts!!!! I can't wait to see your creations!
