PIP Challenge 2230

 Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor,

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project...
This is such a fun stamp set from 
sure if the set is still available or not but
they have so much to offer, so check them out! 

For this project I just stamped
and die cut the birds. Then I stamped them
again on patterned paper so I could paper
piece them. Just add some googly eyes
and done! The main card piece was cut at
8 1/2" x 4 1/4" and scored at 5 1/2". 
Then I cut off 2"(saving it), then measured, 
and cut, another 2" from the fold. I cut 
two, 2" x 4 1/4", pieces  from a coordinating 
pattern paper and glue them to the 2" 
fold piece and the extra 2" piece.
Then I cut a panel in a solid coordinating
color and a white layer for on top. I
glued the solid panel to adjoin the 2" 
pattern piece to the main card. I added
the birds, using mounting tape, and a 
sentiment to finish the card.

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!

PIP Challenge 2208

  Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor,

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!

I made 5 of these cute cards, all in different colors. They look very clean and were super easy. My kind of card for sure!! The birds, Little Birdies, were colored with SN TriBlends then I cut them out with the matching die cut, Birdies Dies . I raised the birds up using pop dots for added dimension. One simple sentiment and done.

PIP Challenge 2145

 Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor,

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!

This coffee cup die cut was fun to play 
with! So many ways to use it! I chose a
paper with foil design to make it shine.
I sponged some brown ink around the
background and label part. Using the same
brown ink, I stamped coffee rings (from
a former stamp company). I added pop dots
to the cup, label and lid for fun dimension. 
The stamps and die cuts
are from CAS-ual Fridays,
Hot Coffee stamps and

PIP Challenge 2136

 HAPPY

Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!
I seldom, or if ever, make a slim line card
but this stamp and die set seemed the
perfect pair for a slim card. I created a 
cloud stencil for the sky and colored the
images with Copics. I added some white
ink to the balloon and waxy flax/twine for
the string. The images were raised up with
mounting tape. 
The stamps and die cuts

PIP Challenge 2129

A new challenge with the amazing sponsor

Here's my project!
I love easy cards and this one fell right into
that category!! I used a die cut for the black
frame with the diagonal inside. I layered
that on a sparkly piece of pattern paper. 
The flower stamps and die cuts, including
the leaves are from CAS-ual Fridays. I 
added some clear sparkle pen to the flowers
and attached a sentiment. I did raise the blue
flowers, with mounting tape, for some dimension.

PIP Challenge 2118

This week's sponsor is  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

Here's my project!
I love stretching my brain by using the
same set multiple times. This set from
CAS-ual Fridays has been a great set to
experiment with. This was embossed in
white on black cardstock. I colored the 
image using Spectrum Noir Metallic
markers. I added a shiny silver ribbon 
and bow and mounted the black onto
a metallic pattern background paper.
Add a few sequins and simply done. Took 
about 15 minutes to create and complete. 
My favorite kind!

PIP Challenge 2109


This week's challenge is sponsored by
There's plenty of time for you to join in!!

Here's my project!
My image was actually stamped right on
a piece of cardstock with the dragonflies
already on it, around the border. I took
another piece and cut out the main dragonfly 
and mounted him above the other
and bent up the wings for a tad bit of dimension
The flower was stamped and
colored with Copics and TriBlend markers.
I layered the main piece onto some 
coordinating turquoise cardstock. I 
added the sentiment and sequins to finish.

PIP Challenge 2104

PIP Challenge 2104

PIP has a brand new sponsor and we are
excited to have them!! 
Woo Hoo!!

Here's my project!
I love simple card, and I'm sure you know that
about me already. This was just a couple of
layers. A stamped image, colored with SN
TriBlend Markers, and added SN clear
Sparkle Pen over the petals. 
I stamped the sentiment on black and
used white embossing powder. This was 
such an easy card that I made multiples,
in a variety of colors. Now I have a few
in stock. Birthday, Sympathy, Thank You.
