Mystery Image Swap Round 53

Today's card is for our Mystery Image Swap group on Splitcoaststampers.  Terry was our hostess this month and she chose the Stampin Up "Lovely Lattice" image for our swap. 

I colored the image with my copic markers and then used an embossing folder for the background and a few papers to highlights the colors I colored with.

Thanks Terry for a great swap.

The Project Bin

It sure seems like there are lots of birthdays coming up for me.  For my project this week for The Project Bin I decided to make a birthday card using the stamp set "Born Yesterday". 

On the inside of my card I used some gorgeous paper from Mintay by Karola called Bloomville.  I then cut off part of the top of the card and left 2 1/8" at the top.  I then stamped the sentiment "More Gorgeous Than Ever" and fussy cut it out.  I then adhered it to the top panel of the card.  

Just a clean and simple card to make but I love that the sentiment just stands out.

Remember that this month over at The Project Bin you can receive the Cool Ghoul stamp set and die ($18 value) free with an $80 order.  

Dueling Darlings

Today is reveal day for our Dueling Darlings group over at Splitcoaststampers.  Today is all about Christmas in July.

This challenge was given to us by Suzy and Deb.  The image I received was from Debby who chose stamping Up "I'll Be Home".  I colored the image with my copic markers.  We were also supposed to share a favorite holiday recipe and I chose the Easy Holiday Salad.

Thanks Deb & Suzy for a great challenge.

The project bin

Time again for another fun card for The Projectwww.theprojectbin.com Bin.  I made this card with the stamp set "Born Yesterday".

I just love these sentiment stamps.

PIP Challenge #1927

Today at Pammie's Inky Pinkies we have a new challenge sponsored by Polkadoodles.

For my card today I decided to make a fun scene using the digital stamp "Tree Scene" from Polkadoodles.  

I started this card by printing off the tree image and coloring it with my copic markers.  The clouds in the background were from a cloud stencil I had.  I then added the birds from a die I had and the flowers from a die set I had.  The grass is a punch.  I added the happy birthday sentiment at the side of the card.  

What a fun card this was to make.  Be sure and join us over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for a change to win 3 free digital images from Polkadoodles.

The Project Bin

Well here it is the day before the big 4th of July.  I just had to make a card today for my Wednesday project for The Project Bin. 

For my card today I used several colors of Distress Oxides (Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, Seedless preserves, & wilted violet).  I sponged the background until I liked the color.  What a nice combination this turned out to be.  The sky line is a die I had.  I used the stamp set "Red, White & Boom".  I must confess that I this was kind of a mistake card.  I was using my misti and the bursting stamp with versa mark and white embossing powder.  I didn't realize that I had moved the stamp just a bit so my bursts overlapped.  But when the card was complete, I liked the look.  I used black embossing powder for the sentiment.

I hope everyone has a happy & safe 4th of July.  Be sure and check out the special this month for The Project Bin.  With every $80 of merchandise purchase, you will receive the Cool Ghoul stamp set and dies.  

Challenge Your Stash

My card today is for our Challenge your Stash group at Splitcoaststampers.  Maggie was our hostess this month and she challenged us to celebrate the start of summer and make a card with yellow and sunshine. 

I pulled out a stamp set from Stampin Up (Petal Palette) that I had not ever used and decided it would be perfect for this card.  I started by sponging the sunrays on the background using Fossilized Amber & Squeezed Lemonade distress oxides.  I then colored my roses with my copic markers.  I punched out a butterfly and colored them with my distress oxides.  The sentiment is from Penny Black "Sprinkles and Smiles".

Thanks Maggie for a great challenge.
