PIP Challenge 2413

Happy and Blessed Easter!!

PIP Challenges has a wonderful NEW sponsor

Pattie's Creations

It's always fun getting to find new stuff

and a great sponsor as well! YAY!

Here's my card... 

Pam

using "Flip Flop Signs"

Since I had to leave sunny Florida yesterday

I felt this was the perfect card for the

bitter sweet departure. I look forward to 

returning home and family but will miss the

"family" of friends there in FL. 

Anyway...

This image already had the words in place.

(and one image, without the words, was

included too) I colored the image with TriBlend

markers and had my Brother's Cut n Scan

cut it out for me. The background was actually

paper, except I added the birds in the sky.

I attached the image with mounting tape

and an added a twine bow to 

complete the card.

Here is my card 

using "Newton's Perfect Wave(on sale)" and "Gull Friend"

As always, I just had fun with my 

stamps and dies from Newton's Nook.

I stamped and cut out images and 

then colored them with my Copic markers.

I found some coordinating papers and 

using LF ta-da diorama I created this

fun interactive card for my grandson.

Newton's Nook always has such great

stamps and die cuts. I will be making

a variety of this type of card using my

Here's what I made for the challenge.

So, I used a fun set from

Polkadoodles called BBQ Gnome bundle

and there are loads of digis and papers. 

First I downloaded the digi paper that came

with the bundle and added my PNG gnome

image to it. Then I printed it out and 

cut it down to the size that I wanted 

so I could have some layers.

I colored the image with Copics. I cut out

one of the sentiments and edged it with a

coordinating Copic marker and raised it

up with some foam tape. A super easy card!

with Copic markers and raised her 

up with mounting tape. I added the sentiment

banner to complete the card.

PIP Challenge 2408

Get ready to head over to the current

PIP Challenge 2408.  

We are going to miss this amazing sponsor

Jan's Digi Stamps

Jan's Digi Stamps 

This will be their last sponsorship because

they want to enjoy some retirement time.

But PIP Challenges was blessed to have 

their sponsorship for the past few years!

They are offering the random challenge

winner a $6 prize!

Here's my card using a wonderful

Jan's Digi image.

I love this butterfly frame image. I cut it

out twice so I could add dimension to 

one of the butterflies. I colored it with 

Copic markers and added clear sparkle

pen to the butterflies for a touch of bling.

It's a very pretty card and that's because 

of the stunning image. I just matched

my coloring to coordinate the background

papers. Very simple and a wonderful finish.

Thanks for stopping by!

PIP Challenge 2407

 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!

These two cards were pretty easy and 

coloring is always fun for me. I used

Copic Markers for the coloring and 

a Brothers Scan n Cut to have it cut out.

I used an oval die cut for the center to

raise up the image. Not sure where I 

got the sentiment from but VS has

many awesome sentiments to choose

from. Sadly, I needed 2 sympathy cards.

Be sure to go and check out 

Varada Sharma.

Here's what I made for the challenge.

Well, a fifth Monday of the month and it's 

a CAS challenge. So, I used a fun set from

Polkadoodles called BBQ Gnome bundle

and there are loads of digis and papers. I

just kept this card very simple and will

probably add the Gnome on the inside

in the future. I used Copics to color the

images and raised the BBQ sentiment

with some mounting tape. It was a super

simple card. Maybe not a fave of mine

but certainly is usable. lol!

PIP Challenge 2403

 PIP Challenges has a wonderful NEW sponsor

Penguin Palace

It's always fun getting to find new stuff

and a great sponsor as well! YAY!

Here's my card...

using "Sending Kisses Your Way"

inside

Since I'm in Florida until April I am 

missing my 4 year old grandson...my

ONLY grandchild. So, naturally I have to

send him lots of cards and fun little boxes

of treats while I'm here and he's back in

Wisconsin, AND THE COLD! Florida

is cooler than normal but NOT like in WI.

Anyhow...

I used a random heart stencil to ink onto

a card front. I used 2 different pinks. Then

I colored my little hedgehog with Copics and

cut him out and raised him, and the "ZZZs"

bubble. I layered the sentiment onto black

and raised that up too. Then I stamped

the inside and colored the hearts. 

Be sure to stop by The Penguin Palace

and head over and join in the

Current Challenge.
