 Another fun challenge ahead! 

This week's amazing NEW sponsor is

Gina K Designs

It's always fun getting to find new stuff

and a great sponsor as well! YAY! Be

sure to go shopping!!

Here's my quick and easy card...

I used a fantastic stand alone die from

Gina K Designs called Botanical Duo.

This was simple and looks great. 

I die cut each flower, one for the inside 

and one for the cardfront. I used an old

GKD sentiment for the front. I added some

coordinating ribbon and inks to finish

the outside. 

The other flower from the die cut set

was added to the inside with a random

sentiment I had on hand. 

This will be a perfect card for a friend's

upcoming birthday! Be sure to see

all great products and inspiration

PIP Challenge 2528

  Welcome!

Time to join in the challenge with 

Polkadoodles as this week's sponsor!! 

YAY!

We REALLY appreciate our sponsors!

Here are my first 2 cards.

Generally I prefer to color my own images

from Polkadoodles but I needed to make 

some quick cards. And, quick they were. 

Everything was digital and the colored

images were amazing. I added the flowers

and sentiment to the pretty digital pattern 

image. An extra print was used to cutout 

some of the flowers to layer on top with 

mounting tape. I attached the cardfront

to a white cardstock and that was it.

The next cards were made the same way

but using different images etc.

Sadly, the color of the cards didn't 

photograph as fabulously as they 

turned out. I used Dahlia Flower 1,

Watercolour Flower Stem and

Flower Meadow.

It was so simple creating these lovely

cards and all I needed was a printer to

get such wonderful quality to work with.

All together I made 8 cards.

Such fun!!

Here's my Lawn Fawn creation

using Mini Pop-up Box

I had lots of fun creating this card for

LJ's 6th birthday. His theme is Mario so

I had to make something Mario. For the

front of the card I found the images and 

birthday sentiment on the internet and 

they were all pre-colored. Red cardstock was 

used with a random "6" die I had on hand.

I raised the sentiment and 6 with pop dots.

I just got my order from Lawn Fawn that

contained the Mini Pop-up Box dies 

and I had to give it a try right away. 

LF always has excellent 

tutorials to help us get started. I was

going to use LF's new Capybaras set 

because LJ loves them but I decided to

stick with the Mario birthday 

theme. Now for the inside surprise...

The die set is complete. It cut the box

and all the stars and streamers, plus

the Marios on the box too.

I die cut out the L and J in red. The

"Super Mario" on the box banner was

cut out from an internet picture. The

same picture from the from of the card

was printed twice and I hand cut them

out so I could add one to each side of

the inside. Holographic cardstock was

used for the stars and streamers. The

card does fold close. It's thick but works.

Be sure to check Lawn Fawn out now. 

They have everything you could need

or want. See their NEW ARRIVALS.

This fun image and was perfect for a 

SUNNY birthday wish for a friend. 

I used a sun die cut on bright yellow

cardstock. I had a pretty ocean/sky 

designer paper that the sunny cutout

was attached to. The image was cut out

using my Scan n Cut then colored with

my Copic markers. It was attached to 

the card with mounting tape and the 

birthday sentiment was stamped right

on the sun to complete the card.

inside

inside

Making cards is such a lovely, relaxing 

time and especially when I can share the

cards with friends on their birthdays!

I found some cute pattern paper to accent

the cards and colored the images to

coordinate with the paper. Copics were my

go to markers today. I extended the 

balloon strings and put some white gel pen

dashes on the balloons. The first card I

stamped the sentiment right on the base

card front and the second card I made

a raised up, layered sentiment.

the sun and clouds and stamped my

sentiment to complete the card. Here's

 Our sponsor for the current challenge is...

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 "The Sweetest Truck"

Well, I needed a special card again. This 

one for my almost 6 year old grandson, LJ.

On Friday, June 13th, he is getting his

adenoids and tonsils out and getting

tubes in his ears. Sooo, his momma asked

a bunch of us to mail him Get Well cards

for when he gets home. He should have 

a nice pile to open. Send up prayers for 

him AND his mom, who needs peace. 

Ok, enough of my rambling.

For my card, I started with the perfect

background cardstock. Then I got out

 The Sweetest Truck set from Sunbird Spark.

I tried to coordinate the coloring of the

stamped images to blend in with the

scenic background paper. I did the best

I could using my Copic markers. The 

colored images were cut out and attached

to the card front. The truck was flat while

I raised up the "LJ" little boy

and the sentiment was stamped on

a die cut tag. The "feel better" came from

a random set, the "ice cream" is from 

Sunbird's stamp set and I hand printed

the word "eat."

The music notes from the set were stamped

directly on the card front. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see

your entries in the Current Challenge.

 Another great challenge over at PIP Challenges

with our lovely sponsor

Varada Sharma

VS has such beautiful images and stamps! 

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

using "Easy Layering Florals 1" (sentiment)

and "Take a Moment"

I needed 3 anniversary cards this month

and Varada's stamps and sentiments 

managed to fill my need happily! My Copics

were used to color my images. The Brothers

Scan n Cut cut the flowers out perfectly!

First I stamped the leaves directly onto my 

card front, as well as the sentiment.

I added some white gel pen dots to a few

of the flowers and raise it up with mounting

tape. A coordinating colored cardstock 

added just the right "pop" for the flowers.

Be sure to visit Varada's Etsy shop 

and Rubber Stamps.
