  Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor,

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!

I made 5 of these cute cards, all in different colors. They look very clean and were super easy. My kind of card for sure!! The birds, Little Birdies, were colored with SN TriBlends then I cut them out with the matching die cut, Birdies Dies . I raised the birds up using pop dots for added dimension. One simple sentiment and done.

PIP Challenge 2207

PIP is excited to welcome a brand new

sponsor for Challenge 2207
Varada Sharma

Here's my card using one of VS lovely

images. Beautiful Butterflies.

I chose my papers and followed a 

Splitcoaststampers tutorial for the Standing

Pop-up Card. I fussy cut the butterfly images

and embossed one of the panels. The images

were colored with Copic markers and I added

some clear sparkle pen for a touch of shine.

Following the tutorial, it came together well.

It lays flat and fits nicely in a regular A2 envy.

I added a sentiment from VS Heartfelt Sentiments.

I entered this in the following challenges:

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Emboss It

Gem of a Challenge - A/G

As always I enjoy it when  Newton's Nook is

sponsor supporters. 😉 I used a couple of sets.

Paradise Palms and Newton's Summer Vacation.

The sun came from another company, even 

though I probably have NN sun somewhere.

I can't take everything with me when I travel

to Florida for the winter...pooh! I used daubers

and ink for the sand and Copics to color the

image. I die cut the image and raised it up.

I added a bit of crystal lacquer for the sunglasses

and a clear sparkle pen for the sun.

Obvious Challenge Entry for ME!

Everyone that knows me well, knows I'm a Polar Bear lover!! My upstairs landing is proof of that! So, when I came across this challenge I just had to throw in my hat and join up. It's an inspiration challenge...here's the inspiration...

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #164

Here's what I came up with...

I found the card tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers

(Fold Back Pop-up).

It was fun to make and turned out just like 

I wanted it to. I colored (LOL) the bears (from

MFT) using ONE Copic marker. I took my sparkle

pen and used it over the entire bear/s. 

One little sentiment, from the same stamp set,

and that's it! It isn't a fast card to make but it

did go quicker this time. It was my second card.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Another Card for Challenges

Check it out...another card ready for some challenges. It's easy to be creative while lounging in Florida during not so nice weather. Sooooo here it is...

I get really annoyed when my pictures don't look

white!! ARRGGHH... But, here it is. The super cute

image is from Lee Holland. I always enjoy browsing

his etsy shop. I colored it with SN TriBlends using

two of my favorite colors, teals and corals. I kept

the card relatively clean and simple. It took me 

about 10 minutes to make and the others went 

even quicker. It's a great birthday card that's

super easy peasy!! Hope you like it too!!

I'm entering it in the following challenges...

1. AAA Birthday Challenge 33 - Two colors

2. Simon Says - Furry Friends

3. The Cutie Pie Challenge 167 - CAS(Simple Starts)

 

A Card for Some Challenges

 Well, it's been forever since I've found the time or the incentive to join in, BUT, here ya go!!

I used a stencil for the colored rectangles,

sponged with two different colors. I've always

loved to combine these shades.  I die cut the

butterfly and colored it using SN TriBlends.

I curled the wings a tad for dimension and 

raised it up with mounting tape. 

Just added a sentiment and layers to finish.

I'll be entering this card into the following challenge.

1. Here is a Place to Start : A/G

2. Happy Little Stampers: A/G

digis and stamps for just about

They are kindly offering $15 gift code 
for this week's winner! Go check them out now!

Here's my card!

I always love a darling image from Gerda Steiner.

The other thing I love is COFFEE!! Sooooo, thus

the perfect combo. The sentiment came from 

another company but it seemed the ideal 

combination with this image. I colored the 

cup and mouse with Copics and used two

circle cut dies for the raised layer for the

mouse/cup. After the small oval was cut out 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white.

Add some white ribbon and ta da!

This is such a beautiful image and I wish 

I could do it justice. Here is my attempt...

I colored the image with Copic markers.

I added some white dots using a pen. Add

a twine tie and bow, a couple of layers and

that pretty much completes the card.

company and the Polkadoodles girl was lots

of fun coloring with TriBlends and Copic 

markers. I added a few white pen dots to the 

flowers and as freckles. I raised up the 

cactus planters with mounting tape. 

I embossed the background card stock

and die cut and swirl to fill in the back. The 

white dots were created by Nuvo jewel dot.

PIP Challenge 2151

 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...

I'm still getting the hang of working with

digital papers, images and sentiments. 

First of all I picked the "paper" I wanted

to use from We Are 3 paper Winter Snowflakes.

Then I chose my sentiment Warm Wishes.

I used PicMonkey to create a badge with 

color and added the sentiment.

I turned my digi Snowman with Heart mitten

to face the opposite direction. 

other way before I added him and

my sentiment badge to my paper. 

I die cut a piece of silver glitter cardstock

to make a frame for the sentiment.

The snowman was colored with Copics

and some clear sparkle pen for a shimmer

to the snow and nose. I chose some

coordinating cardstock to create my 

layers, including a silver mirror piece.

I added a small pom pom to the hat.

A big THANK YOU to our sponsor
