The Project Bin Kinda Pawsome

I have a fun card this week for The Project Bin.  My family has always been dog lovers.  Seems like we all have had one at one time or another.
For my card today I decided to use the stamp set "Kinda Pawsome".  I stamp the dog image and then did a little highlighting with my gray copic marker.  I made a tag using the Authentique "Companions" paper line.  The blue dog heart beat was a small square in the paper line.  I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the tag which is also from Kinda Pawsome line.

You only have a couple of days to day advantage of the October special at The Project Bin which is with every $75 order you get the Eat Pie Stamp Set Free.

The Project Bin

I am still loving the adorable snowman from The Project Bin using Merriest Christmas stamp set so I decided to make another fun card with it today.
I thought it would be fun to make a shaker card and put the snowman to the side.  The image is colored with Altenew watercolors and then I used the matching die to cut the snowman out.  I added the snowflake die to the upper right hand side and ended up with an adorable shaker card.

Remember the October special over at The Project Bin.  If you order $75 of merchandise, you will receive the Eat Pie stamp set for free.  What a deal.

The Project Bin Merriest Christmas

I decided to make another Christmas card for my card this week for The Project Bin using "Merriest Christmas" stamp set.  I am just loving that adorable snowman. 
I started my card by cutting out the top white cardstock piece with a Christmas tree die.  I then used a snow falling embossing folder.  I used some washi tape on the inside of the card before adhering the top piece to.  I then added the Christmas trees that are with the Merriest Christmas stamp set and pop dotted the snowman that I had colored with my copic markers.

Remember that if you purchase $75 of merchandise at The Project Bin you will receive the "Eat Pie" stamp set free.

Dueling Darlings

Today is our reveal day for our Dueling Darlings over at Splitcoaststampers.  Every month we have a fun challenge.  This month I was lucky enough to co-host with Barb at Inkin' in Retirement.  We decided to make our challenge this month all about pumpkins.

Well I went to my favorite stamp company Newton's Nook and decided to use the stamp set "Harvest Tails" which is one of the cutest fall stamps they carry.
I colored my image and used the matching die to cut it out.  The paper is Autumn Splendor by Simple Stories.  The ribbon is pumpkin pie from Stampin Up and the flowers are from Prima.  Thanks for checking out my blog.  Be sure and check the other Dazzlers and see what they did with the image.

You can also check out the Divas and see what Barb's group did with the challenge this month.

PIP Challenge #1941

Newton's Nook Designs


I am so excited for the challenge this week for Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  We are being sponsored by one of my favorite stamp companies "Newton's Nook Designs". 

For my card today I used the stamp set "Newton's Perfect Pumpkin". 
I colored the image with copic markers and cut it out.  The spider webs and spider are from that stamp set also. 

When looking for a design for my card I noticed that the Inky Paws Challenge worked right in with what I wanted to do.

The Project Bin Merriest Christmas

I can't believe I am making Christmas cards already but you know it has a way of slipping up on us.  My card this week for The Project Bin uses the stamp set "Merriest Christmas". 
I started my card out by using white embossing powder and a snowflake folder.  I then cut out the snow bottom and colored my cute little snowman with my copic markers.  I added a snowflake in the corner and what a cute Christmas card did it make.

The October special for The Project Bin is if you order $75 of merchandise you will receive the Eat Pie stamp set.  What a deal.

Crafters of Faith

Todays card is for a challenge over in my Crafters of Faith group on Splitcoaststampers.  Our hostess this month was Kim and the scripture she chose for the challenge is Psm 139:13-14 (You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb.  I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works!  My very self you know.)

Kim's challenge was to make a card for a pregnant woman or for a newborn baby.


This card is from Papertrey Ink "Baby Button Bits" and the sentiment is also from Papertrey Ink "Congratulations".  I stamped the bear on designer paper and then fussy cut it out.

Thanks Kim for a great challenge.

Newtons Nook Challenge

I am beyond thrilled that my local scrapbooking store (Vintage in KC) is now selling Newton's Nook stamps.  They are absolutely the cutest stamps I have ever seen.  Every time they have a new release I think how in the world do they come up with such adorable images.

Since I had just purchased "Pumpkin Latte" I thought I would make a card for the Inky Paws Challenge this week.  The challenge was to use the color challenge below.
This is definitely fall colors which I love.  Nothing beats the colors of fall.
I colored the image with my copic markers and used the matching dies to cut them out.  Thanks to Newtons Nook for a great challenge this week.

The Merriest by The Project Bin

This week for The Project Bin I have decided to think about Christmas cards.
For my card today I stamped off the snowman from "The Merriest" stamp set.  I then colored the image with my copic markers.  I used a show fall embossing folder for the background and then a Tim Holtz snowflake.  Very simple card but it has an elegance to it.

The stamp set also has the matching die cut which I used along with a tree die cut.  You will see that used in a future post.  You will see a lot of examples using this set this month because I am determined to have all my Christmas cards done early this year.  

Creative Crew

 This month's theme for our Creative Crew group comes from Terry and her theme is Thanks Snow Much.  What a fun theme but I hope this do...
