Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digital projects that they

die cutting machine necessary! 
Go check them out now!
Here's my project for this challenge...using 
The Cutting CafĂ© offers so many ideas
and all you really need is paper, printer
and scissors. It's a great place for the 
minimalist card makers. Seriously, TCC 
can make card making very simple. For
this card all I used was a printer,
my scissors and Copic markers. Easy, 
for sure. I printed the "Brrr..." on cardstock
and cut it down to fit on my sparkle 
cardstock. Then I printed the cute snow 
guys and colored them and cut them out.
I took more sparkle paper and added it
to the "Brrr" panel and attached my 
snowmen. I added sparkle pens and white
gel pens accents to my finished card.

Here's what I made for the challenge
I used some of my paper scraps from 
prior cards...the pattern paper and the
white oval. The cute little bunny was 
downloaded and cut out using my Scan n Cut.
The image was colored using my Copics. 
I grabbed a random sentiment stamp so
I could create a Happy Birthday inside. 
Mounting tape was used to raise up the bunny.

PIP Challenge 2444

  Another great challenge over at PIP Challenges
with our lovely sponsor
Varada Sharma
VS has such beautiful images! It's 
awesome that she is kind enough to sponsor 
PIP Challenges! Please be sure to visit her site
or find her actual stamps at RubberStamps.com!!
 Here's my card for this week
I stamped some images onto my white
panel and colored them with my Copics.
I fancy cut out two additional leaves and
colored them too. White embossing was
added to my black banner and attached.
I then placed the two leaves on the panel
using mounting tape for a raised effect. 
The card was completed after I added my
white panel to a black piece, then to the 
card base itself.
