LC Sponsor Spotlight

Happy Wednesday! Today Lollipop Crafts is spotlighting our sponsor this week, Robyn's Fetish

This adorable bear is called Charlie Christmas Bear, and you can find him here. He's colored up in Copics, but I ran into some marker trouble this time... see the right side of his face? As I was putting on the darker brown (E55) for some shadows, it started to get weird on me. It became sort of oily, and couldn't blend with the other colors. It doesn't look as bad IRL, but this picture sure picked it up! I thought my marker was drying out, but I checked it was good, but added a little more ink anyways.  Has anyone else have that happen? and is there a remedy for this? Would love to hear any advice on this! :D

So back to the card... it's a small sized card... only 3.5x3.5. Great way to use up some more scraps and makes a perfect little gift card. Used Spellbinders circle and scallop circles for the dies, and handcut a small banner flag for the sentiment, which is Amy R Winter Sentiments.

Head on over to the Lollipop Crafts blog to see what a few other team mates have made to share. Find out more on our wonderful sponsor, and check out the awesome prize for the current challenge!

Thanks for stopping by...

Have a great day! ;D

Lollipop Crafts Ch#95 Happy Holidays

Hi all! I'm a bit late posting this up, but today Lollipop Crafts has a new bi-weekly challenge, and the theme this time is Happy Holidays! Just show us Christmas or other winter holiday cards, scrapbook pages or crafty gifts. Come back on Wednesday to see who is our sponsor and what the awesome prize is!

Today I've made some gift tags using Whimsie Doodle images...

Colored them up with Copics markers and added just a touch of shimmer with Clear Star gel pen. The tag die is from Sizzix, some scraps from Recollections xmas paper pad, snowflakes from MS punch and a mini punch, ribbons and buttons to finish it off. The back is stamped with a sentiment and left enough room to add a name.

sentiments are from Amy R Winter Sentiments and Studio G

Be sure to stop by the Lollipop Crafts blog to see what the team members have made. Hope you can join us!

One more treat...

Happy Monday!! Did you all have a good weekend? It sure went by fast!! So to start off the week, how about a brand new challenge from Lollipop Crafts?? This time we want you to make Anything But a Card with a Halloween theme. It's right around the corner, so what's better than a little treat box...

In fact, this one doubled as a birthday card for a friend. The little drawer holds a few mini candy bars and a gift card. Here's another view...

The size of the box only is 4x3, and very simple to make. I've never done a tutorial before, but if you all are interested, I can give it a shot! Just leave me a comment if you would like to see how this was made.

Check out what my LC team mates have made to share. You'll have two weeks to play along for a fabulous prize. Come back on Wednesday to see who our sponsor is for this challenge!

Christmas Card...

Hi everyone!  Happy Wednesday!! It's time Lollipop Crafts Sponsor Spotlight Week #1 featuring Robyn's Fetish. Take a peek over here to learn more of this fantastic digi stamp company! For my spotlight card, I have the cute Gingerbread Baby...

Followed an older sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and used some scrap Christmas paper from Recollections line. Can you see the shiny sparkly icing on the gingerbread? Fun to try to make it look like real icing.

Do you have time to make a card or two for a great cause? This card will be donated to the Make a Keiki Smile organization. Kris (the co-owner of Lollipop Crafts) and her aunty are collaborating this year again to bring some big happy smiles to the kids at Holy Cross Hospital. Check out all the details here on Kris' blog.

Have a fantastic day! ;D
