Here's my card!

Yup, gotta love Gerda Steiner Designs,

and I do! This little melon guy is just too

cute. I colored him with my Copics and 

fussy cut him out. I had a watermelon 

stamp from another company that seemed

to be just right for this card. I made a mask

to overlap one of the larger melons. 

I couldn't decide what sentiment to put

on this card, so I left it blank to keep

my options open. lol. Be sure to join in the

challenge and visit Gerda Steiner Designs!

PIP Challenge 2237

 Our amazing sponsor this week is

Jan's Digi Stamps

Jan's Digi Stamps is kindly offering a
$10 Gift Certificate. Without our amazing
sponsors the challenges wouldn't happen. 

Here's my card.

That Jan, at Jan's Digital Stamps, has some really

fun images to work with...or play with! lol! Such

a talent she has. This image, Crafty Friends, looks

like me and my talented friends when we get 

creating, except for the wine. Well, actually, I found 

some really good non-alcoholic wines that hit

the spot. Anyway... This was colored with Copics. I 

put a few white ink dots on the wine and outlined

the entire image with a soft gray. Naturally,

there just HAD to be some glitter on the card,

which is generally a given, so I used Stickles

Glitter Glue for a couple of dots. They could've 

been a little rounder...but...I blobbed them out.

After I got my card layered, the sentiment

raised, I added some clear lacquer to the

crafting ladies' glasses. 

That pretty much completes this card!

Thanks for stopping by!

I found some winter digital paper and 

attached the serene SheepSki Designs

A silver glitter and black cardstocks for layers

PIP Challenge 2234

This week's PIP Challenge is sponsored by

We Are 3

There's plenty of time for you to join in!!

Here's my weekly inspiration...

Since I was heading out on a mini vacay to

celebrate my 50th anniversary, with the 

best man, and friend, God could bless me with,

I needed a quick make card. I used an awesome

digital paper background and layered my 

image onto it. I think layered my sentiment. 

Boom...then I just used my Copic markers

and a white pen to complete the card. So

very easy peasy! Thank you, We Are 3!

Here's my card!

Well, I've finally returned to the stamping world.

I've just been unable to be productive and

I had many failed attempts at creativity all 

to no avail. Lawn Fawn gave me a lot of

options to be creative. I used Stitched Wave

Boarders and Flamingo Together from Lawn

Fawn. I snooped around my other stamping

stash and completed my card. I used daubers,

with inks, and a circle mask to create my sun.

I used a circle die cut for my sandy mound.

I heat embossed some black sparkle embossing

power then "daubered" some brown ink on it.

I colored everything with Copics and some

white pen lines added to the waves.

 Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor,

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project...

This is such a fun stamp set from 

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  I'm not 

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.

We REALLY appreciate them!

Here's my card...

I decided on a Slim line card for this sliding

little penguin. He actually spins on his ride

to the bottom. hehe. I used a stencil for the

clouds and an oval die cut to create my hills.

The cute little penguin, from Polkadoodles,

was colored with Copic markers and fussy 

cut to add to the slider. The slot was cut using

a Lawn Fawn die cut. I added a sweet 

"Hello" die cut for a greeting.

Our amazing sponsor this week is

Jan's Digi Stamps

Jan's Digi Stamps is kindly offering a
$10 Gift Certificate. Without our amazing
sponsors the challenges wouldn't happen. 
Here's my card.

This image and sentiment from 
Jan's Digi Stamps  was a dandy for those
of us in the U.S.A. Star Spangled Wreath. 

I have a friend whose birthday in July 4th. 

An ideal choice! I checked through my 

random digital  papers and found a starry light 

blue that was perfect for adding the flag image! 

I colored it using Copic markers. A touch of sparkle 

pen was used to shine up the big center stars and

the tip of the flag staff. 

I added the sentiment to a die cut and 

raised it with foam mounting tape. 

Some coordinating paper layers was

all that was needed to complete my card!

Thanks for stopping by!

   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!!

Here's my card...

This delightful image of Sunflowers was

a perfect addition to a cloudy background.

I enjoy PNG images. So easy to add to any

image on your computer. This is my house

and I just added the image to show you an

option of working with PNG digis.

For the card, after I had added the image

to my cloud background, I colored it with 

Copic markers and I added a touch of sparkle

to the flowers using a Spectrum Noir Sparkle

pen. The sentiment was embossed, with a 

cobalt blue embossing power, on vellum.

Add a bow in coordinating color and 

that completes the card!

Here's my card!

This was just fun to make. Mostly die

cutting, using Lawn Fawns "Woodland 

Critter Huggers." Just plain simple to 

create and so stinkin' cute! I made the

little sign and the sentiment is from 

the stamp set "Happy Summer." I found

a little birch tree background paper 

and just glue everything. The sign was 

raised using mounting tape. Be sure to 

visit Lawn Fawn. Everything there is 

wonderful! You can always find something!!
