Holy Stitch! Hang Onto Your Buttons!

Greetings. I was asked to go on a crafty quest with the adventurers at Try it On Tuesday, using our tailor job skill points to create some sewing themed projects. Unfortunately I ran into some trouble with button eating demons, and my travel log was lost. I finally managed to recover it at a secret save point and was able to inscribe it here.

I started this card by colouring the Kraftin’ Kimmie “Lavender the Quilter” image using Prismacolor pencils, paper piecing the quilt. All the frames were die cut using the Lawn Fawn “Stitched Rectangles” set. The letters were die cut using the Lawn Fawn “Finley’s ABCs” set., earning me +90 cutty XP points. The buttons and sentiment were stamped using a Unity set.


This card will be stitched into the following challenges:


Let this be a lesson to all adventurers - do not travel with loose rainbow coloured buttons in your satchel lest you incur the wrath of button eating demons!

The Christmas Ghoul

Today as we were doing some spring cleaning around the Guild Hall, the Lady Commander of Copics came across a small Christmas Ghoul. She has been holed up since last December, snatching food from the kitchens. As she seemed harmless, and in her boredom reorganized all our Christmas decorations in the attic, we decided to leave her be.

This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is April Fools or Your Favourite Holiday. Make an ATC following this theme for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, Creepy Cute Stamps.

I started my ATC by colouring the Creepy Cute Stamps image using Prismacolor pencils. I figured her dress needed to look a little more Christmasy so I stamped it with a little snowflake from the Lawn Fawn “Critters in the Arctic” set. This earned me +90 fashionable XP. The holly for her hair was stamped using the Lawn Fawn “Winter Gifts” set and coloured with Prismacolor pencils. 

I used my Wink of Stella glitter pen on her dress and the holly in her hair for some extra Christmas sparkle and +111 glittery XP. The snowflakes for the background were die cut using the Lawn Fawn “Stitched Snowflakes” die set. I had to add a sentiment, so stamped one using the Dylusions “Christmas Words” set.

This ATC will creep into the following challenges:

The Christmas Ghoul was a silent creature, never speaking as she went about her business. I don’t know if this would come back to haunt us later, but for now her organizational tendencies were enough to make me want to keep her around.

A Small Exchange

Salutations. Welcome to the Guild Hall. Today we are entertaining a visitor from the far off eastern realm of Aziana. The little botanist brought some rare foreign plants and herbs with her to trade for some of our indigenous flora. This is a great boon to the Crafters Guild as our stocks were running low on these exotic plants. With the cherry blossoms alone we would be able to make numerous tonics and elixirs.

This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is Cherry Blossoms. Make an ATC following this theme for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, Lacy Sunshine.

This ATC will blossom in the following challenges:

As I began separating the newly acquired plants into jars and labeling them, the Lady Commander of Copics and Guardian of Glitter introduced our small foreign friend to the joys of Mario Party. It was going to be a long night of giggles.

Spring into Action

As the days grow longer, the weather has become increasingly more pleasant. As I was putzing around the Guild Hall grounds, trying to get things cleaned up after the melt I noticed some geese flying overhead, returning from their trip to the south. The biggest sign that Spring was on the way however, was when I spotted a pink flower fairy fluttering around the garden, gracefully planting seeds that would bloom into a rainbow of colour in a couple months.

This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is Spring is in the Air. Make an ATC with a springy theme for a chance to win a prize from our sponsors, A Day For Daisies and Nana Vic’s Digitals.



For my first ATC I used an image from Nana Vic’s Digitals. I coloured it using Prismacolor pencils and inked the edges with Distress Ink. The sentiment was stamped with the Crafty Secrets “Couple of Cuties” set.

This ATC will cheep into the following challenges:

For my second ATC I used the A Day For Daisies “Curly Flower Fairy” image and coloured it using Prismacolor pencils. The leafy things I stamped using the Lawn Fawn “Critters Down Under” set. I then cast a sparkle spell using my Wink of Stella wand to add some glitter to the leaves and the fairies wings.

Click to en-biggen and see the sparkley spell.
This ATC will spring into the following challenges:

Fields of Danger

Greetings. Thank you for stopping by the Guild Hall. Today the Lady Commander of Copics and I received a raven from the three pigs of Glendore. It seemed they were having some issues with werewolves ransacking their farm. As tonight was to be a full moon, we decided to head to the pig’s pasture in Glendore and set up a defensive perimeter.

This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is “Cute Creatures”. Make an ATC with some cuties on it for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, 2CuteInk.

I started this ATC by colouring the 2CuteInk image using Prismacolor pencils and fussy cutting it out, earning +120 XP in wielding my blade and leveling up! The barn I stamped and paper pieced using the Lawn Fawn “Critters on the Farm” set. The sentiment was stamped using the There She Goes “Poultry in Motion” set.

This ATC will mosey into the following challenges:

As darkness fell and the moon rose high, spilling its silvery light across Glendore’s fields, we could hear the distant howling of the werewolves. The three pigs were squealing in fright and retreated to the safety of their brick farmhouse whilst the Lady Commander and I stood our ground, ready to battle the vicious wolves and save the farm.

Gone Glimmer

Tonight the Guardian of Glitter and I saddled up our mounts and set out to the aqua fields of Glimmer Gust. We rode in silence under the twinkling velvet sky until we reached the aqua sea of grass. Dismounting, I shouldered my satchel and set out, Nikki close behind. Suddenly I spotted what we had come for. Ahead of us, two fairies from rival clans were kissing, their wings shimmering in the moonlight.


This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is “Bookworm or Things With Wings”. Make an ATC with this theme for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, A & T Digital Designs.

I started this ATC by colouring the image using Prismacolor pencils and painstakingly cutting it out, which leveled up my blade wielding skill. I used my Wink of Stella pen on their wings to add some glitter….cuz...glitter. I heat embossed the stars in the background using a stamp from the Lawn Fawn “Critters Ever After” set. The sentiment was also stamped using that same set.

This ATC will flutter into the following challenges:

I cast a stealth spell and crept close to the fairies, open jar in hand. They were so wrapped up in each other, it was easy to scoop them into the glass container without a fuss. I looked up at the sky, stars scattered across it like diamonds.
“What have we done?” I whispered to the Guardian of Glitter, closing my eyes.
“What we must,” she replied.

Unicorn Fairies' Plight

Today the Lady Commander of Copics and I travelled to the fluffy village of the unicorn fairies. They had sent a message to the Guild Hall requesting help in dealing with some troublesome snarg demons that have been raiding the village as of late. Not one to turn down a plea for assistance (and hopefully some sweet loot as a reward), my sister and I made haste to the cloud covered settlement.


This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is “Pink & Black & White”. Make an ATC using these colours for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, Ppinky’s Doll Art.

I started this ATC by colouring the image using Prismacolor pencils. I then masked her off, earning +90 stealth XP, and stamped the clouds using the Lawn Fawn “Into the Woods” set. The stars were stamped with the Lawn Fawn “Critters Ever After” set.

This ATC will float into the following challenges:

It turns out that snarg demons are easily defeated with simple fire magic. After ridding the area of those we could find, we helped the unicorn fairies set up some fire beacons around the village to ward off future attacks. The pink flames burned bright, lighting up the black night, hopefully keeping the peaceful unicorn fairies safe.

The Joy of Looting

Today the Lady Commander of Copics, Guardian of Glitter and I were exploring the abandoned underground city of the dwarves, looking for treasure and loot...because that’s what adventurers do, when we came across an oddity. Amongst all the rocks and stone archways, there stood a small wooden door. Stuffing a newly acquired gem into my bag-of-holding, I approached the door. Carved into the wood was the word “joy”.

This wine tag was created for The Inked Stamper design team and was based on this inspiration photo.
I cut the paper to 8.5” x 2.75” and scored at 2.5”. I used a 2” circle punch for the hole because it is literally the only circle punch I own, but I think a smaller one would be better - 1.5” would probably be perfect. The snowflake for this was cut using the Lawn Fawn “Stitched Snowflakes” die set and the letters were cut with the Lawn Fawn “Finley’s ABCs” die set. The borders I cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge. The red looked a little blah, so I used a white gel pen to spruce it up a little, earning +50 accent XP points.


This tag will jingle some joy into the following challenges:


“What say you, Guild Master? Should we open it?” the Lady Commander asked.
“We should at least knock,” the Guardian of Glitter said, running her fingers over the carved word.
I knocked twice rapidly. There was no response. Shrugging my shoulders I tried the door handle. Locked. I extracted my lock picking kit from my satchel and Nikki shot me a look.
“What?! There could be loot in here!” I exclaimed.
A rogue at heart, I wasn’t about to let possible loot slip away, and proceeded to work on the lock.

Creeping Christmas

Today the Guardian of Glitter and I had to head to Punchington to help them out with a zombie infestation. The ghouls started showing up two days ago and now the village was in a complete lockdown as the undead swarm the streets. It is a miracle they were able to release the raven sending us their cry for help.

This week the theme at Wicked Wednesday is “Happy Creepy Holidays” Make an ATC that goes with this theme for a chance to win a prize from our sponsors, Delicious Doodles and Smeared Ink! For my ATC I used the Delicious Doodles “Hungreeeeee!” image and added a santa hat with the Lawn Fawn “Hat’s Off To You” set.


This ATC will creep into the following challenges:


It didn’t take the Guardian of Glitter and I long to dispatch the undead monsters from Punchington. I found it a little weird when I killed one wearing a Winter Festival hat, but hey...I guess zombies enjoy the holidays as well.

Iced Raspberry Balls

Thank you for stopping by the Guild Hall. Today the Lady Commander of Copics and I decided to do some adventuring in the Iced Raspberry Woods. We had received a quest from a gent at the local tavern, tipping us off that this particular forest was flush with rare raspberry balls...if you could make it through the throng of monsters. Raspberry balls contain juices within their tough shell, which can be used as a powerful healing agent if combined into the correct tonic. Angela and I had been questing for upwards of an hour, battling our way through the forest, when we came upon a small ice nymph. Her blue hair sparkled with ice crystals and to our surprise, she was holding onto one of the coveted raspberry balls!

This card was created for the Creative Card Crew “Anything Goes” challenge that is happening now. Play along with any project for a chance to win a prize from our sponsors, Dies R Us and A Day for Daisies!
drubadge.gif  ADFD+BLUE+Round+Flower+Button.jpg


I started this card by colouring the A Day For Daisies image “Christmas Pixi Two” using Prismacolor pencils. I die cut and stamped the sentiment using the Lawn Fawn “Quinn’s ABCs set”. The snowflakes were die cut using the Lawn Fawn “Stitched Snowflakes” die set.

The trees on the paper are super sparkly...but I decided I needed to level up the sparkle on this card, and added some more to her scarf and boots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment using the Lawn Fawn “Joy to the Woods” set. The baubles I stamped using the Lawn Fawn “Ornate Ornaments” set and instead of colouring them, decided to paper piece the balls, earning +40 patterned XP points.

The envelope was stamped using a CTMH set with Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks to make it match the front of the card.


This card will have a ball in the following challenges:


I took a tentative step towards the ice nymph, eyes fixed on the raspberry ball she was clutching in her small hands. She responded by hissing, showing her sharp pointed teeth.
“So, not friendly then,” the Lady Commander of Copics quipped.
“Seems not. But we didn’t come all this way to leave empty handed,” I declared, notching my bow.
We would have those balls, one way or another!
