PIP Challenge 2225

 The challenge this week is sponsored by
PIP Challenges!

The prize will be a 

$10 Gift Certificate from 

My Favorite Things (MFT)

YAY!!

Here is my project for the challenge...

I used MFT "PI Sunshine Kisses" stamps

and the matching die cuts. 

I had so much fun with this. The platform

was created using an interactive die cut set

from Lawn Fawn. I colored my images 

using TriBlend markers and I paper pieced

the swimsuit. I added some white dot freckles

and popped out the lemonade with a dot.

I have to create homemade envelopes to 

fit the collapsed platform card safely fitted.

I use the We R Memory Keepers Envelope

Punch Board! A great tool to have on hand.

The Cutting Cafe

die cutting machine necessary! 
Go check them out now!

Here's my project for this challenge...

For this card I used The Cutting Cafe

Polo Shirt Shaped Card. It just required

some fun pattern paper, one coordinating

Copic marker(for collar and sleeves), 

something for the "buttons"(I used Nuvo

Drops), embossing folder, AND a pair of

scissors! No die cut machine is necessary.

I made the shirt so it opens, not the entire

card. It's basically a front and I will use

it to thank my hubby for being the BEST

dad to our daughters and grandson.

AND since it's a 5th Monday of the month

there is a theme and it's a color theme...

Here's my card...

I had a lot of fun with the color theme. First

I went on line and found a colorful image 

that I saved. Then I added the PNG image

on top. I colored the little gnome with 

Copics in coordinating colors. I put some

white dots on the package ribbon and

white dashes to the balloons before I added

some clear lacquer. A touch of sparkle to

perk up the tiny red heart. 

I used a pretty die cut from Crafter's 

Companions and wove some matching

ribbon. I added a fabric flower. Using

a banner die cut with the added sentiment.

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!

We love our challenge sponsors!!

 Go check them out now!

Here's my card!

This is really an easy card/project to make

ONCE I figured out the directions from the

video tutorial, which is well done!

Here is the Lawn Fawn platform pop-up tutorial.

I used "Happy Harvest" stamps and "Dies".

They do have an Add-on for the back but

I just chose to make my own for now. 

The images were colored using TriBlends 

and Copic markers. I can't remember where

I got the cloud dies but I am sure LF has some.

This doesn't fit into the normal size card

envelope so I made my own. Works just fine.

Be sure to check out the tutorial to see this

project in ACTION! Very cool!!

Both projects were colored with Copics and

and added a ribbon. For the card I stamped and 

die cut multiply books for some layering.

I used an embossing folder for the white

card front. Gotta love Newton's Nook! I do!
