cuts they have!  Go check them out now!

Here's my card!

As always I enjoy it when  Newton's Nook is

our sponsor. Actually I enjoy ALL our wonderful

sponsor supporters. 😉 I used a couple of sets.

Paradise Palms and Newton's Summer Vacation.

The sun came from another company, even 

though I probably have NN sun somewhere.

I can't take everything with me when I travel

to Florida for the winter...pooh! I used daubers

and ink for the sand and Copics to color the

image. I die cut the image and raised it up.

I added a bit of crystal lacquer for the sunglasses

and a clear sparkle pen for the sun.

Obvious Challenge Entry for ME!

Everyone that knows me well, knows I'm a Polar Bear lover!! My upstairs landing is proof of that! So, when I came across this challenge I just had to throw in my hat and join up. It's an inspiration challenge...here's the inspiration...

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #164

Here's what I came up with...

I found the card tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers

(Fold Back Pop-up).

It was fun to make and turned out just like 

I wanted it to. I colored (LOL) the bears (from

MFT) using ONE Copic marker. I took my sparkle

pen and used it over the entire bear/s. 

One little sentiment, from the same stamp set,

and that's it! It isn't a fast card to make but it

did go quicker this time. It was my second card.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Another Card for Challenges

Check it out...another card ready for some challenges. It's easy to be creative while lounging in Florida during not so nice weather. Sooooo here it is...

I get really annoyed when my pictures don't look

white!! ARRGGHH... But, here it is. The super cute

image is from Lee Holland. I always enjoy browsing

his etsy shop. I colored it with SN TriBlends using

two of my favorite colors, teals and corals. I kept

the card relatively clean and simple. It took me 

about 10 minutes to make and the others went 

even quicker. It's a great birthday card that's

super easy peasy!! Hope you like it too!!

I'm entering it in the following challenges...

1. AAA Birthday Challenge 33 - Two colors

2. Simon Says - Furry Friends

3. The Cutie Pie Challenge 167 - CAS(Simple Starts)

 

A Card for Some Challenges

 Well, it's been forever since I've found the time or the incentive to join in, BUT, here ya go!!

I used a stencil for the colored rectangles,

sponged with two different colors. I've always

loved to combine these shades.  I die cut the

butterfly and colored it using SN TriBlends.

I curled the wings a tad for dimension and 

raised it up with mounting tape. 

Just added a sentiment and layers to finish.

I'll be entering this card into the following challenge.

1. Here is a Place to Start : A/G

2. Happy Little Stampers: A/G

PIP Challenge 2204

This week's sponsor is Gerda Steiner 

where you can find some of the cutest 

digis and stamps for just about 

to meet your creative desires. 

They are kindly offering $15 gift code 
for this week's winner! Go check them out now!

Here's my card!

I always love a darling image from Gerda Steiner.

The other thing I love is COFFEE!! Sooooo, thus

the perfect combo. The sentiment came from 

another company but it seemed the ideal 

combination with this image. I colored the 

cup and mouse with Copics and used two

circle cut dies for the raised layer for the

mouse/cup. After the small oval was cut out 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white.

Add some white ribbon and ta da!

PIP Challenge 2203

 A brand new challenge over at PIP Challenges. This week's sponsor is

SheepSki Designs

 Without our amazing sponsors the 

challenges wouldn't happen. 

SheepSki Designs is offering the 

random winner THREE DIGIS!!

Here's my card...

This is such a beautiful image and I wish 

I could do it justice. Here is my attempt...

I colored the image with Copic markers.

I added some white dots using a pen. Add

a twine tie and bow, a couple of layers and

that pretty much completes the card.

Be sure to pop over and see all the fabulous digis, stamps and supplies that they have!  Go check them out now!

We REALLY appreciate them!

Here's my card...

I had fun with the little cutie. The additional

cactus cup plants are from another stamp

company and the Polkadoodles girl was lots

of fun coloring with TriBlends and Copic 

markers. I added a few white pen dots to the 

flowers and as freckles. I raised up the 

cactus planters with mounting tape. 

I embossed the background card stock

and die cut and swirl to fill in the back. The 

white dots were created by Nuvo jewel dot. 

I'm in Florida now and my WiFi isn't being

very agreeable and I'm awaiting service on

Tuesday. So bear with me!!
