GD Cathie - Altered Item

Hi everyone,
Cathie here Guest Designing for Fitztown's Altered Item Challenge. I have to say this was my first ever altered item, I have always stayed with making cards and have never ventured into any kind of mixed media before; but that is what it is all about, crafting outside your comfort zone. I am really happy with how it has turned out.

 I have used Fitztown's Cameo 14 image and coloured it with Copics adding some sparkle here and there.
I have used pattern paper from Rosie's Studio and embellished with flowers and swirls.

For all the details and to see inside the box as well as an extra tutorial.

 head over to my blog House of Borowski

So start looking at things around the house in a whole new light and alter them. You have until midnight EST Sunday 27th July 2014 to get those entries in.

Have a great day everyone.
Cathie

GD Julie -- Altered Card Box

Hi everyone, Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I'm honored to be guest designing again today.  This week's theme on the challenge blog is an "altered item". One of my favorite things to alter are card boxes -- it's something I can have on hand and give as a gift, filled with handmade cards:

The box is 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 inches deep.  It will hold about 8 handmade cards with envelopes, depending on how embellished they are.  I inked the edges of the box with Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Tarnished Silver, then, using Mod Podge, attached Close To My Heart paper from the Lucy paper pack.  I used the Fitztown image, Garden 7 as the focal point, coloring the flowers to match the papers.  I used Copic markers to color the flowers.  I used a Spellbinders Gold label die in 2 sizes.  The flowers started out white, but I inked them to match the papers and added matching brads (flowers and brads from CTMH).  The rhinestone flourish is also from Close To My Heart.

Here's a view where you can see the box a bit better:

This is a great challenge -- it takes us out of our comfort zones a bit and does what it's supposed to -- challenges us!  I had a wonderful time as a guest designer with my altered card box!

CT Tracey - Altered Item

Good Morning 

It's my day today for this challenge the theme is 

ALTERED ITEM!!

My project started off has just a pretty purple box, that I make but didn't use.

This is what I have made with it.

So I made it in to a Tea light Candle Box. The lovely butterflies are from our shop called FAE 18 you can get them & more here.

Coloured them with purple tones using my copics. The inside is a backing paper using the outlines of the butterflies.

GD Hazel - Pick a Holiday

Hello, Hazel here again, this time with a card for our challenge 'Pick a holiday'. Well, I'm not sure whether this was meant to be any holiday or whether it was meant to be an occasion holiday but I chose to think it was any holiday and as I was assigned this image, cs6, available here, I decided to tell you about our holidays when our sons were young. You can check out my story by visiting my blog here. 

Come and join us and tell us about your holiday, whatever type you choose. lol

I'm looking forward to seeing all your creations and remember, if you check out the Fitztown Store you can see images galore. Let us know if you don't find what you want and we'll point you in the right direction.

Here's to next time,

Hazel

Design Day with Lynn

It's Lynn (aka Lynnpenguin)  here with another Design Day creation!

This week I had fun with the VALENTINE 13 image.

Challenge #43 - Pick a Holiday

I chose Valentine's Day (which isn't really a holiday, but it should be) 

I created this shaped Valentine's Day card by printing the image fairly large and cutting it out.  Then I cut a back (inside) piece too and attached them together after printing "Happy Valentine's Day" on the inside piece.

I also added some pearls to the heart to dress it up a little bit. 

Here's a look at it inside:

I am very pleased with how this turned out.  

I hope you'll play along with us for the current challenge here at Fitztown. 

DT Kate

Thursday and it´s my turn to inspire you!

"Pick a Holiday" is the theme here at Fitztown!

I choose Christmas and use the image Winter 10 and color it with Faber Castell.

Cut is out with a die and also cut a bigger one in light blue cardstock.

Place it on a silver Christmas designer paper.

My only embellis are snowflakes!!

Hope you will come and join us!!

Hugs Kate

GD Jacqui - Pick a Holiday

Hi again everyone GD Jacqui back with another project for you

This challenge was to pick a holiday and as summer is coming (I hope) and i've just booked my summer holiday to Majorca I decided to go for a summer holiday theme.

I must say its lovely to be back working with the Fitztown images as I really love using flowers and fairies and they've also given me images that took me out of my comfort zone which is awesome as I think we do tend to stick to the familiar instead of challenging ourselves more.  Anyway onto the card.

For this project I used the Fitztown image Valentine 5   

I used a 6x6 card base 

Green & pink card from my stash

Promarkers to colour

Banner from a magazine

Some ceramic flowers from my stash

A leaf die

Half pearls

Creata gold rub ons 

Two gold metal embellishments from my stash

And a sentiment to finish

I really hope you like and if you do plz pop by and let me know.

Till next time Jacqui over and out xx

Winner: Challenge #40 - Masculine

Oops! So sorry! I'm a new pet guardian and got caught up in playing with my new pets and taking pictures, I plumb forgot about Fitztown! Oh-oh! lol Here's a pic of my new precious Chihuahuas.

The one on the left is Sparky and the one on the right is Gerty. They are 3 year old brother and sister. Sparky is very shy and quiet and Gerty has roamed the entire house because she's curious and she's definitely a lap dog! lol I'm in heaven! Is it wrong to want to rename my doggies? But you didn't come on here to find out about my dogs! lol So let's get down to some serious business!

GD Cathie - Anything Goes

Hi everyone,

Cathie here with a card for Fitztown's Anything Goes Challenge. I know you love anything goes as much as I do so here it is.

This is a gate fold card using Fae 18. I love this image, it is so versatile - this is one of 4 designs I have made using this image.

In this instance using Microsoft Word I have cropped the image down to one butterfly, copy and pasted it,  then flipped it to get the mirror image.

I have coloured it using copics and added sparkle along the seams.

The background is dry embossed glitter cardstock and I have added butterflies, gems, and sequins to add even more bling.

For all the details and to see the inside of this card

 head over to my blog House of Borowski

So with a challenge like Anything Goes, anything goes so you have until midnight EST Sunday 6th July 2014 to get those entries in.

Have a great day everyone.
Cathie

Wednesday with Sande - AG No. 42

Sande here, with my Wednesday DT posting for our current challenge

"Anything goes". YAY!!

What a favourite theme!! You can create what ever you want. Maybe to try something you have never tried. I did try something different. I only colored with bright colours the main thing on the image which is the bear and the rest I colored by using greys. Looks nice, or what do you think? This fabulous bear image is one of the Teddy Bear images and can be found with the code TEDDY 9. Colored with my Copics.

 Please, visit at Fitztown store to check the gorgeous images and other stuff. If you want to buy some images and can't find it in the shop, please send an email to this address: sales@fitztown.com with the link to the image (posting) you wanna have.
