All that Glitters........

Good morning crafters! Lisa B here and I have the pleasure of hosting the last challenge of the year here at the Sisterhood of Crafters. After this challenge we will be taking a little break so we can all enjoy the holidays with our families and loved ones.

For this challenge we are asking you to make

 Christmas Sparkle!  

You can make a Christmas card/project and add glitter, rhinestones or Stickles to your project.  And since this is the season of giving gifts what would our last challenge of the year be without a prize?

This challenge sponsored by:  FITZTOWN

The Top Sister of this challenge gets three (3) digis of their choice from the Fitztown Store! How cool is that?? 

Now on to some crafty inspiration to get you started....

We have the pleasure of having two of Fitztown's DT members on board with us for this challenge and sharing with us what they created to play along with our challenge.



The image I have used is a Christmas bell from the Fitztown collection of digital stamps. I used a two piece die cut set from Memory Box for the frame around the bell. I coloured my image with Copic Markers and glitter then added a layer of light blue glitter paper, bling and a ribbon to complete the card. 


Hi, Kate here!
For my card I have used a image from the store at Fitztown and you find it here.
I have color it with Spectrum Noir and Tombows and the die cut have I colored with sparkling watercolors. Sparkling organza as a frame and a little bow in the corner.  On the dress and flowers have I use Stickles to get the glitter effect on the card. Finally some gems in light green and pink. To see more of the card please come and look at my blog!
Thanks for letting me be a GDT!!

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas Sparkle ideas.  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Embossing!

Hi everyone, Micki here as your hostess for our new challenge! A great big thank you to everyone who joined us in our Fall challenge.  Wow, everyone submitted wonderful, awe inspiring projects!!  
Our new challenge is not going to be seasonal or holiday inspired, because - well, I don't know about you but I don't even want to think about the fact that Christmas and the New Year is literally right around the corner, lo!  Instead, let's focus on a technique. 


We challenge you to use EMBOSSING on your project.  
It can be any type of embossing, such as wet embossing with embossing powder or dry embossing using embossing folders, stylus, etc.  You get the idea, right?
Your project can be a card, 3-D, canvas, etc. 
anything that will clearly show the embossing technique!

Before sharing inspiration from the Sisters, we want to give a very warm welcome to our newest step-sisters.  These lovely ladies will be joining us for our November and December challenges and will be sharing their inspirations.  Please welcome 


and


Stop by their blogs and leave them some love!

Now for some EMBOSSING inspiration:

Trick or Treat

Good morning everyone!  Lisa B here.  I will be hosting the next challenge we will be having here at the Sisterhood.  The leaves are changing, the air is crisp and it is almost time for Halloween (here in the States that is).  So we thought it would be fun to have a Fall/Halloween inspired challenge.  You can create any project you like as long as it has a Fall/Halloween theme to it. Halloween is such an awesome holiday to decorate or create for.  The colors are so fun!  And the same with Fall, which is my favorite time of the year.  So let us get crafty!

Below you will see some inspiration from our Sisters as well as our Step Sisters.  If you haven't done so already, please stop by our Step-Sisters blog and leave them some love. This will be their last challenge as a Step-Sister. I want to thank them for joining us these past couple of months.  Thank you both for sharing your creativity with us, it was a pleasure having you.

Next month we will be introducing two new Step-Sisters so stay tuned!!
