PIP Challenge #2409

 I am a little late in posting my card for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2409.  Our internet was down all day yesterday.  Oh the joys of modern technology.  We love it when it works but not happy when it doesn't.  

Our sponsor this week is Star Stampz who has some amazing digital stamps in her etsy store.


For my card today I am using the stamp "My Sweet Rose".  I love all kinds of flowers so this was so much fun to color.

The designer papers I used are from Doodlebug Hello Sunshine.  I colored the image with my copic markers and used a little glossy accents on the eyes.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee Sentiment stamp set.  The leaf die is by sizzix called garden greens.  Such a fun image to work with.

I hope you all check out the Star Stampz store and find yourself a few adorable digital images.

I love their stamps.  They have so many beautiful florals and I love coloring them.  For my card today I used the image "Daisies and Bleeding Hearts".  I love Bleeding Hearts and I am always amazed at how beautiful they are.

Creative Crew

 Today is reveal day for our Creative Crew on Splitcoaststampers.  Jeanette was our hostess this month and she came up with the theme "Birthday".  What a fun theme and we all need birthday cards.

The image is Nice One! by Penny Black.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday Lots of Sentiments.
I colored the image with my copic markers and fussy cut the image out.  The papers are from DCWV and Paper Studio All Season 3.  Such a fun card to put together.

PIP Challenge #2405

 This weeks challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I am such a fan of theirs with all the cute stamps that you can put together.



For my card today I pulled out one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamps which was Lawn Fawn Berry Special.  There is always so much you can do with these stamps.


I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Blank Ink on Neenah Classic Crest Paper.  I then colored the images with my copics markers and cut then out with the matching dies.  I did a faint cloud background using the MFT Mini Cloud stencil.  The sentiment is from the Berry Special stamp set also.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Animals Challenge #80 - Use an animal

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge - Anything Goes

PIP Challenge #2403

 Today brings a new challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  This weeks challenge is sponsored by Penguin Palace which is a new sponsor for PIP Challenges.

I had a hard time deciding which of their adorable digital stamps to use for my card today.  I finally decided to use "Happy Easter".  I figured it was never too early to start on my easter cards.  
I colored the image with my copic markers and then fussy cut the image and sentiment out.  I used a scallop oval die to cut the pink paper out of.  The  background paper was from scraps that I had in my stash.

Be sure and check out Penguin Palace and see their adorable inventory of digital stamps.

Creative Crew

 Today I am posting a card I made for our Creative Crew group on Splitcoaststampers.  Barb is our hostess this month and her theme is "Snowmen" which seems to be quite appropriate since I look out the window and see about 5 inches of snow.


The image Barb chose is by Penny Black from the Frosty Flakes stamp set.  The patterned paper is from Echo Park called Winter Magic.  I colored the image with my copic markers and added some stickles to the snow on the image.  The Merry and Bright sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

You can see what the rest of the team did with the image by clicking on their name below.

PIP Challenge #2401

 Happy 2024!  I hope this year will bring you all good health and happiness.  We start up another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  We start 2024 out with a great sponsor for our  #2401 Challenge which is Gerda Steiner Designs.

They have adorable stamps that can be used for different occasions.  I decided to use the Watermelon Dinosaur for my card today.
He was such a fun little guy to color with my copic markers.  This little dinosaur has such personality.  I then went to my stash and decided to make this a birthday card which I never seem to have enough of.  I then used a crossstitch square die around the image and another die to cut the green paper out with.  This die is an Echo Park Nesting Label #5 that I have had forever.  I cut it in half and put half at the top and half at the bottom of the image.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope to see you over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges this week.
