PIP Challenge 2217

Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor,

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!

I had a lot of fun with this cutie. I hunted
on Pintrest for ideas and probably copied it 
from someone REALLY talented, and thank you, 
whoever you may be. 😁👍 I had some 
leftover circles from another project and 
along with a cloud stencil I created the little
bit of sky. I used Somebunny stamps and
Bunny dies. Everything was colored with 
TriBlend markers and a touch of crystal
lacquer for a good balloon shine. Add a 
layer or two to make the balloon color pop!

We love our challenge sponsors!!

PIP Challenge 2215

 This week's sponsor is Lawn Fawn.

Be sure to pop over and check out all the 
fabulous products they have! Get everything you
need in one place to create your next project!
 Go check them out now!
Here's my card!

This is really an easy card/project to make
ONCE I figured out the directions from the
video tutorial, which is well done!
I used "Happy Harvest" stamps and "Dies".
They do have an Add-on for the back but
I just chose to make my own for now. 
The images were colored using TriBlends 
and Copic markers. I can't remember where
I got the cloud dies but I am sure LF has some.
This doesn't fit into the normal size card
envelope so I made my own. Works just fine.
Be sure to check out the tutorial to see this
project in ACTION! Very cool!!

PIP Challenge 2214

 Newton's Nook is this week's sponsor

Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis, stamps and wonderful die 
cuts they have!  Go check them out now!
Here are my projects!


Both projects were colored with Copics and
die cut out as needed. I laminated the bookmark
and added a ribbon. For the card I stamped and 
die cut multiply books for some layering.
I used an embossing folder for the white
card front. Gotta love Newton's Nook! I do!
 Both were fun and you can find 
the items used at NN.
