PIP Challenge 2429

  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!!

The PIP Design Team has some awesome

inspiration. Be sure to visit each  

blog for additional inspiration!!

Here's my card...

using "Sunflower Boarder"

I used a digital background and added

the Sunflowers png to it. The flowers 

were colored with my Copics, with a couple

of white dots added to the centers. I 

made a banner and stamped a sentiment

with a couple of daisy embellishments.

The banner was added with mounting tape.

Be sure to go and visit Sheepski Designs

Etsy shop. She has so many awesome

digital images! So much fun and so very

reasonable too! PIP appreciates the support!

PIP Challenge 2428

  PIP Challenges wonderful sponsor

for the current current challenge is...

Gina K. Designs

It's always fun getting to find new stuff

and a great sponsor as well! YAY!

Here's the card I made for the challenge! 

using "Woodland Friends" and

"Framescape Winter Trees"(retired?)

I've used GKD and love the quality.

I stamped the tree frame image then

added inks with blending brushes. Then 

I added the sentiment. I stamped and 

colored the squirrel, with Copics, and 

fussy cut it out. With mounting tape I

raised the squirrel for dimension. I 

made this card for my daughter's birthday,

July 13. She LOVES "her" squirrels. She

feeds them peanuts throughout the day,

everyday! Sometime she has 10 sitting

there waiting. LOL! Be sure to go and 

visit Gina K Designs. I am sure you will

find all you need to create fantastic 

creations. Gina is such an awesome

lady and very talented!! 

This is from a few years ago when we

visited Gina's shop. We all had such fun

and we've all changed so much!! LOL!

Challenge Card Using Polkadoodles

 So, I needed a card to give my 5 y/o 

grandson, LJ, for after his last soccer game 

of the year on Thurs. July 11. Naturally, 

I chose Football/Soccer Little Dude

set to create the proper card. The inside

of the card has one of the set's sentiments,

"From your #1 Fan." I added an s to Fan

because grampa wanted to be included,

of course. LOL

I colored my little dude with Copic

markers and stamped a random

sentiment and LJ. Now, the real winner

of this will be LJ, in my book anyway...

LJ just scored a goal...sure doesn't 

look excited but I'm guessing because

it was 84 degrees outside.

I'm entering my card in 

Polkadoodles WK 27 A/G

Here's what I made for the challenge.

using "Cactus Smile", "Cactus Succulent Sentiuments"

and "Happy Cactus Papers"

As usual, I found all I needed to create this

card at Polkadoodles, images, sentiments, and

papers. I printed the paper and sentiment and

cut to the size I needed and attached it to a 

coordinating green cardstock. I cut out my

cute cactus after I colored it with my Copic

markers. I used a white gel pen to dot his 

cheeks and Crafter Companion sparkle 

pens to color the pot. A sweet little flower 

embellishment to the center of the main flower.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Here's my project 

front

inside

I always have fun playing with Lawn Fawn

stamps and die cuts! To create this fun

card I used parts of each of these sets...

Happy Everything (inside sentiment)

Critters in the Forest (tree)

Happy Harvest(flowers, birds)

Let's Go Nuts (squirrels)

Grassy Hillside Add-on (grass die cut)

I needed an anniversary card for some 

friends and I wanted to make my card using

Lawn Fawn soooo, I began by deciding to 

make a pop-up card. LF has many great 

options for this but, for whatever reason,

I made my own pop-up tabs. Sheesh. 

All the images were colored with my Copic

markers. The front sentiment isn't a LF

sentiment. Not sure who it belongs too. LOL!

I left space on the inside to write a personal

message AND I misspelled my friend's name.

Crazy! We've been friends for almost 30 yrs.

Apparently, I'm getting old and my memory 

must be going. 😵

Seriously, once everything was colored and

fussy cutout I began to create my card. I 

have quite a few different layers and the

banners, on the front, were some misc. 

die cuts I had on hand. Mounting tape was

used to raise up some of the images.

I colored the image with Copic markers.

I used some great background paper that

had paw prints.  I used a banner die cut for

the sentiment and added a little heart

embellishment. Some red dots were

added to get rid of the white space.

from our amazing sponsor, Gerda Steiner Designs.

I stamped all the images and colored them

using my Copic markers. Once I fussy cut

all the images out I used a banner die cut

to make the "shelves." Mounting tape was

added to the images and attached after I 

glued the banners down. White gel pen

was added to the pots and I stamped the 

sentiment to complete the card.

 PIP Challenges wonderful sponsor

for the current challenge is...

Penguin Palace

It's always fun getting to find new stuff

and a great sponsor as well! YAY!

I even purchased some fun goodies 

from PP and it didn't arrive before I 

left on vacay. Boo to me! I had other great

stamps from PP but I let time get away from

me, as usual. That's why this post is even

late and the challenge and winner's blogs

didn't get posted on time. I know...bad Pam.

At least my visit to friends has been a 

joy and I hope to return home and 

make all kinds of goodies!! Be sure to join in 

the current challenge and visit 

Penguin Palace for some awesome stuff!

This cute set, from Newton's Nook, must be

realize. The card was made for my friend's 

daughter. I used a stencil for the yellow 

striping and a random scallop die cut for the

image background. I colored the images with

SN TriBlend markers and die cut them out.

the "Dig It" from the NN set.
