Crafter's Cafe challenge #322 Anything goes + Use designer papers.

 Hey I am back with another post for Crafter's Cafe challenge.  As you can see the challenge is anything goes or a twist with using designer papers.  Here is our sponsor.


Prize is 2 images

I just love working with All Dressed Up.  Crisp clean designs that fit almost every occasion.  Go visit leave some love and a thank you!

My card is using the image called little pumpkin.  Here is my card.

I have colored this image with alcohol markers and Castle Arts
oil based color pencils.  The background paper is from G45 set
called Garden Goddess (retired).  The base is a bright orange.
Next I did a print and cut leaving a small border.  I glued on
the images and cut out a Happy Fall sentiment.

Crafter's Cafe Challenge #321 Christmas in July

 Hello and Happy Christmas in July!  Gosh this is a wonderful time of the year.  But...to tell the truth I am just lucky to get today's challenge posted.  We only have one sponsor for this challenge and she's a biggie!


Prize~3 Digital Images

I have been creating and sharing my cards since 2013.  One of the first sponsor images that I got was from Sheepski Designs.  I love these images.  Please go show some love and maybe a thank you.

My Christmas is July isn't a card.  It's a gift box.  The gift box pattern is from Simply Crafty SVG'S.  The 3D construction is a Single K-Cup Holder.  The image that I am using from Skeepski designs is titled Ginger Hot Tub.

I colored the image using my Prismacolor Pencils.  Then I selected
papers for the single K-cup holder.  The holder when done has
a front panel.  I adhered my image on there.  I inserted a hot cocoa
K-cup.  Quick easy done!


That is it for this cafe challenge.  I hope you can play along.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know that you are blessed!

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:
I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room dΓ©cor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

Both of these sponsors are fabulous.  Please go and show some love and maybe leave a thank you!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge is going on vacation.  There will be NO challenge for August.  This challenge will run until September 8, 2025.  So please show us your beautiful creations and see you on September 10, 2025 for the new challenge.  See you all when we return!


For this challenge I am working with a image from Patties Creations titled 'Hippo Rita'.  Here is my design for July 9, 2025.


I have colored Miss Rita with my Castle Arts Colored Oil
based pencils.  I found a background searching the web for
free printable jungle image.  Printed it out and glued it onto 
a 5.5 by 6.0 card base.  I found my flip flop paper and PNC'd
an inner tube that Rita is floating on.  I searched for a small
bit of brown tag for the saying on front.  


This is another copy of the background paper used on  the front
of the card and some more of the brown tag stock.


The back with my new sticker.

Well that's it.  I hope you all have a wonderful summer and I will be back for the next challenge on September 10, 2025.

Stay healthy, Stay Safe and know that you are blessed.
