PIP Challenge 2519

 Welcome!

Time to join in the challenge with 

Polkadoodles as this week's sponsor!! 

YAY!

We REALLY appreciate our sponsors!

Here's my card

using "Cactus Smile"

"Cactus Succulent Sentiments"

"Happy Cactus Succulent Digital Papers"

I had so much fun using all the goodies

from Polkadoodles! The digital paper was

an ideal fit with my Copic colored cactus.

Of course, the sentiment was just right too.

I added a few white dots to the pot design

and a dot in the cheek blush. And as I tend

to do...mounting tape was used to raise 

up the cute little cactus.

I had a great die cut banner for the sentiment

and the rest was finding the coordinating

papers and layering to finish. I made it

into a birthday card for a friend!!

Formerly, Penguin Palace, now

Sunbird Spark

It's always fun getting to find new stuff

and a great sponsor as well! YAY!

Go shop at Sunbird Spark for some 

awesome new stuff! I know I did! lol!

They've added plenty as well! 

Here's my card for the challenge...

using "Bee Happy"

and "Hexagon Geo Cover Die"

inside

I've been using this set Bee HappyA LOT 

lately because it's such a fun set to work 

with and I have many birthdays coming up.

Soooo, you will see more in the future.

Firstly, I found a printed background

paper that seemed like a good fit with 

my little bees. Using the 

Hexagon Geo Cover Die I found the

right color to coordinate with the

background. I then cut another one

out of white so I had the white additions

to the card front. The white hexagon 

will be used on another Bee day card.

There are matching 

dies for the stamps. I colored all the 

images with Copic markers and some of 

the dotted bee trails were my own.  lol

The bees were raised up using mounting 

tape. A touch of a clear sparkle pen on the 

wings gave the finished bees a bit of

"bee"ling. tsk tsk. I added a couple 

of flowers to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see

your entries in the Current Challenge.

 This week's amazing sponsor is

The Cutting Cafe

Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digital projects that they 
have to help your creativity!  No 

die cutting machine necessary! 
Go check them out now!

Here are my projects for this challenge...

using Mini Note and Card Set.

These were soooo easy to make and fun too.

The Cutting Café offers so many ideas

and all you really need is paper, printer

and scissors. It's a great place for the 

minimalist card makers. I printed my "notes"

on cardstock and layered them on 

coordinating paper. I though about adding

some stamping on them but they looked

simply fine. I cut out the "cover", following

the pattern, onto a designer cardstock. I 

found some cute flowers, clips, elastic ties, 

and paper clips to use for closures. These 

notes are little, so, perfect for your purses 

or to insert into a card for mailing.

The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

MFT

YAY!!

Here's my card for inspiration...

My card is created using Varada Sharma 

stamps. You can find her etsy store HERE

and her actual stamps HERE.

I'm not thrilled with the finished card.

I just don't feel I did the stamps justice. 

I drew the black petal lines by hand. The

inks for the petals didn't have enough 

contrasting colors. I added the white dots

and the corner dots n dashes.

Here's my Lawn Fawn creation

using "You're a Keeper" and "Love Poems"

As always, I had a lot of fun playing with

my Lawn Fawn stamps. I needed an

entertaining birthday card and this one

turned out perfectly. I stamped my images

and die cut them out. They were then 

colored using Copic markers. I had a 

honey comb stencil that worked nicely

using LF inks. Mounting tape was used to

raise up the little bees and the honey 

comb image. A couple of coordinating 

papers created ideal layering.

 This week's PIP Challenge is a 5th Monday

and the THEME is RAIN.

It's sponsored by

PIP Challenges!

The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

Scrapbook.com

YAY!!

Here's my card following the Theme:

RAIN

Using Newtons Nook Newtons Rainy Day

April showers bring May flowers, right?

I'm counting on that since I'm leaving

Florida tomorrow to head back chilly

Wisconsin. I used a rain drop stencil with

some blue inks. I stamped my kitty and

frog. Kitty was colored with Copic markers. 

I stamped the kitty and frog again on my 

green dot pattern paper. The frog's belly

needed a touch of pink though. The 

umbrella was paper pieced with the 

dotted pattern paper. I added the 

sentiments and then raised up the critters.

😀

in WI, from me in FL. They are still getting

snow. hehe... As always, Newton's Nook has 

always the right stamps, die cuts, and 

great stencils. I used Sunscape Stencil, Gull

Friend (retired), and a Palm Tree set (retired).

Copics were used to color the gulls. 

I used blending brushes to apply 

my inks to the Sunscape stencil. The image

was die cut and raised up with mounting

tape for a tad bit of dimension. 

I love all my goodies from Newton's Nook.

PIP Challenge 2511

Welcome! 

Time to join in the challenge with 

Polkadoodles as this week's sponsor!! 

YAY!

We REALLY appreciate our sponsors!

Here are my cards for this week's challenge

using "Iceman Snowman"

   using "Happy Easter Chick"

Be sure to visit Polkadoodles! They have 

so much to choose from, for all your 

creating fun!!!

For my icy snowman card I printed a winter

scene digital paper. After I printed out my

snowy guy he was colored with Copic 

markers. The image was fussy cut out and

I raised the image up with mounting tape.

The layers were created to match the 

background and a crystal Stickle was used

to highlight the ice and snow. 

My grandson was the one to get this 

card. I miss him since I've been 

in FL since Jan. 1st, not 

home until April 3. He does get lots of

goody gifts from me, and Grandpa.

For the Easter chick card, which my grandson

will also receive, I found a great background

paper. Not sure if it was digital or actual. 

LOL! The cute image was colored with

TriBlend markers, with a few ink dashed

corners. Easy peasy!!
