PIP Challenge #2643

 Time again for another challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week sponsor is Lawn Fawn. 

Lawn Fawn is one of my favorite stamp companies because I absolutely love coloring all the little images and making my own scene with them.  

For my card I am using the stamp set "Make Lemonade".  I think those mice are just adorable.  I stamped them off and colored them with my copic markers.  Then I used the matching dies to cut them out.  For the background I started with a 4 x 5 1/4 sheet of Neenah Classic Crest White cardstock and the MFT cloud stencil.  I used Distress Oxide Broken China for the ink.  I then found  a scrap of green paper and used the MFT Slimline Grassy Die and cut 2 layers.  I used SU Old olive ink to sponge the edges to give it some dimension.  I then used the sentiment from the stamp set to stamp at the top of the card.

Such a fun card to create.  I hope you check out all the adorable stamps at Lawn Fawn.  I know there are several on my list.  

I noticed that Pam is looking for new designers on the Pamie's Inky Pinkies team.  I hope you check it out and sign up to be a designer.

Thanks for stopping by..

Creative Crew

 It is finally cooling down here in Kansas and I hope to see some beautiful colors soon.  I just love to see all the vibrant colors in the fall.  Today is reveal day for our Creative Crew over on Splitcoaststampers.  My cared today just screams fall.

Lorraine was our hostess this month and she selected this image "Turkey Day" from Sunny Studio Stamps.  The images and sentiments were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Stampin Up Basic White cardstock.  The designer paper is Harvest Collection from Carta Bella.  After coloring these adorable images with my copic markers, I then cut out the designer paper with the Newtons Nook Names and Tags Die.  This was the perfect background for the images.

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team did with these images.

PIP Challenge #2631

 Today is reveal day for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge #2631 which is being sponsored by Sunbird Spark.  Such a fun site and she has some adorable digital images.

For my card I decided to use the digital stamp "Hello Fall".  It is such a fun stamp set.  I decided to use the Wagon from the set.

I printed the image off and colored it with my copic markers.    I then fussy cut the image out and found some scraps of fall paper to make the card.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I hope you check out Sunbird Spark and see all the cute items they have in their shop.

PIP Challenge #2639

 I am so excited for the challenge this week over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges because the sponsor is one of my favorite companies.  If you saw all the stamps I owned, you would see that a large portion of them are Newtons Nook.  

I love fall and sure hope with all the rain we are having that we will have a colorful fall.  I love making fall cards and made this for my sister in honor of her 2 dogs.   Just an extra one for her because she loves to dog sit friends and neighbors dogs.  

The stamp set I used is Newton's Nook "Pumpkin Tails".  The paper is used is Newtons Nook Autumn Paper.  The background die is the A2 Card Layout Die by Newtons Nook.  I loved coloring these images with my copic markers. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and enter Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenges this week.  

Challenge Your Stash

 I am a day early for our Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers but tomorrow I will have a post for Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  I was able to choose the challenge this month and I looked at the calendar and special events and saw that September 29 is Celebrate National Coffee Day.  I do love my coffee so I had fun making this card.

This card just screams fall.  I love all the pumpkin flavored coffees so I had fun with this one.  The stamp set I used is Newtons Nook Autumn Coffee and I also used the Newtons Nook Postage Stamp Layout Die.   I just love how these postage stamp dies make cute little frames for each of the images.

Thanks for stopping by.  I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Creative Crew

 It's time again for another challenge for our Creative Crew group on Splitcoaststampers.   Jeanette was our hostess this month and I have to say I was a little stumped on her challenge.  The theme she came up with is "Career Day".  I didn't really have any stamps that I thought would work for this challenge but I came across  a Unity Stamp and thought it would work.

So my career day would be for a Coffee Barista.  This stamp I used is Planner Gal Stay Cozy by Unity Stamps.  I stamped the image off and colored it with my copic markers.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  After coloring the image I cut it out using the MFT Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle Die.  I used a Close to My Heart Oval Die of the Sentiment.  The paper I used is Coffee and Friends by Echo Park.  I also had some ephemera to match so I used the pennant and cup at the bottom from that stash.

So thanks Jeanette for making us put our thinking caps on.  I always love the challenges you come up with.

Be sure and check out the rest of the team and see what they came up with for this challenge.

PIP Challenge #2637

 This week's challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Polkadoodles which is one of my favorite digital image company.

                                      

They have some adorable fall images and I decided I had to use one.  I love foxes so any time I can incorporate a fox in my card, I will do it.

I decided to go with the image "Pumpkin Autumn Fall Fox".  I colored the image with my copic markers and then fussy cut the image out.  I found a fence die that I had.  I think possible it was one I purchased from Papertrey Ink years ago.  I love using things that have been in my stash for a long time.  The sentiment is from Sunny Studio called "Autumn Greeting".  I found some scraps of paper that I used for the background.

I hope you check out all the fun images over at Polkadoodles and that you join our challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.

PIP Challenge #2635

 Today's challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Patties Creations.  

                  

                                                         

Since this is the 5th Saturday of the month we also have a special challenge and the theme is "Apples". 

I found this old image that Patties Creations created and decided to use it for my card.  I printed it off and colored it with my copic markers.  The background paper is Welcome Autumn by Carta Bella.  The apples are from Lawn Fawn "Build A Barrel".  The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions "Tag Team Thanks".

I look forward to seeing all those creations using the theme "Apples".

Challenge Your Stash

 This month is a fun challenge for us on our "Challenge Your Stash" group on Splitcoaststampers.  Jeanette is our hostess this month and she decided that August is the only month of the year without a significant holiday so she challenged us to make up a crazy holiday and create a card for it.  

This is my card.  My crazy holiday is "Celebrate Snail Mail".  Who doesn't like to get a card in the mail?  I sure do so I decided to create a holiday around it.  The image I am using is "Cozy Wishes" from Simon Says Stamps.  I stamped off the image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut the image out.  The background paper is from Good Cheer by October Afternoon.  I used a Gina Marie Floral Design for the background.  I used white embossing powder on the sentiment and then fussy cut it out.

I hope you like my holiday.  I can't wait to see what the rest of the team comes up with.

PIP Challenge #2633

 This weeks challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by RAM Stamps.

They have so many adorable digital stamps.  I had a hard time deciding which digital image to use.

I finally decided to use the adorable Birthday Bird image.  I printed off the image and then colored it with my copic markers.  I used a scalloped circle die to cut the image out.  The papers I used are from different scraps that I had in my stash.  I used a heart punch to cut out the blue hearrt.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out all the cute images at RAM Stamps.

Creative Crew

 Well the 15th of the month has rolled around again which means it is time for our Creative Crew Challenge.  Jeanette and Barb shared the job of hosting this month.  They came up with a color challenge and a sketch challenge for us which is always fun to do.

  

For my card I decided to have some fun with the Unity image "Just a Couple Spring Chickens" for my card.

The background paper is called Stained Rainbows by Brutus Monroe which I thought covered the colors in the challenge.  The wood background is from Adventure Awaits by Honey Bee.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out what the other girls did with the challenge.

PIP Challenge #2631

 Time again for another Challenge from Pammie's Inky Pinkies which will be Challenge #2631.  Our wonderful sponsor this month is Taylored Expressions.

                                                          

I love all the things you can buy at Taylored Expressions.  I always look forward to their wonderful calendars and their floral stamps which are favorites of mine.

For my card today I am using the stamp "Bursting Blooms" along with the matching die.  This is an old set I have had for a long time.  I no longer see it in their shop but they have alot of other wonderful floral stamps.  I used a Jaded Blossom Stitched Arch Die for the Blue Background.  I like that it always makes the floral pop on the card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see your creations on Pammie's Inky Pinkies. 

Challenge Your Stash

 I had so much fun with the challenge this month on our Create From Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Barb was our hostess this month and she challenged us to do a red, white and blue card with any theme or holiday.  I decided to create a birthday card because that is what I use the most.

For my card I started with a piece of 3.75 x 5 inches paper from 49 & Market called Kaleidoscope.  It made for a great background.  I used one of the first Stampin Up stamp sets that I ever bought back in 2012 or 2013.  It is called Summer Silhouettes.  I used Night of Navy and Marina Mist Stampin up ink for the foliage and then Stampin Up Real red for the flowers.  I then used the Taylored Expressions Sundry Sentiments stamp for the sentiment.  I added a few BGM Cherry gems on the card.  I then used a 4 x 5.25 sheet of Real Red Cardstock as a border for the card.

Thanks to Barb for a great challenge this month.

PIP Challenge #2629

 This weeks challenge #2629 for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges is sponsored by Gina K. Designs.

                                           

I always have a hard time deciding which adorable image to use for me card.  I decided to go with a favorite of mine called "Inspiring Poppies".   Unfortunately I don't see it on their website any more.  

The papers I used were from Paper Roses called Poppy Garden Basics which included the embellishments I added to the card.

Be sure and check out Gina K. Designs because they have so many wonderful stamps to pick from.  I see several new stamp sets that I will be adding to my stash.

Creative Crew

 The 15th of the month sure has rolled around quickly.  I can't believe we are almost half way through the month.  Terry was our hostess this month and she send us this adorable image from Taylored Expressions called "Silly Goose".

This was such a fun image to work with.  I colored the cute little goose with my copic markers and used a scalloped rectangle die to cut the image out.  For the sentiment I used a die from Fun Stampers Journey called "Banner Parade".  Miscellaneous papers were used on the card.  I used some China Blue Distress Oxide to go around the sentiment banner so it would stand out.

PIP Challenge #2627

 I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.  Today is time for Challenge #2627 for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Our sponsor this week is Lawn Fawn which we all know is a favorite stamp company of mine.  

I always have a hard time deciding what image to use but with these hot days I thought I would go with something cooler.  I decided to use my stamp set and matching die set called "Mice on Ice".  

I first stamped off the images and colored them with my copic markers.  I used the matching dies to cut them out.  I took a piece of white cardstock and used the hillside die to cut the top out.  I then sponged the bottom part of the white card stock and formed an ice rink.  I pop dotted the images on to the ice rink.  I also added the lamp post and trees to the card.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card.  I hope you visit "Lawn Fawn" and see what cute stamp sets they have.  I can't wait to get my hands on their new summer release.

Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash Group on Splitcoaststampers.  Darlene selected our challenge this month and she chose "Starry Night" and asked us to create a card with a night sky full of stars.

For my card I am using Lawn Fawn Upon a Star with matching dies.  I colored the images with my copic markers and used the matching dies to cut them out.  I used a little bit of gold Stickles on the stars.  I cut some hills using the MFT Slimline Grassy Hills die and sponged them with a little dark green ink.  I used white embossing ink on the sentiment. 

Such a great challenge.

PIP Challenge #2625

 June seems to be going fast.  The older I get, the faster time seems to go.  This weeks challenge for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is sponsored by Lawn Fawn.

I am a real fan of Lawn Fawn and love creating scenes with their adorable images.  I decided to go with a winter scene for my card today.

For my card I am using the stamp set "Here we go a-waddling".  I stamped all the images off and colored them with my copic markers and cut them out with matching dies.  I found a scrap piece of snowflake paper for the background and then used the "Stitched Hillside Borders" die on white cardstock to form the hills.  I sponged around the edges of the hills with Stampin Up Pool Party Ink.  I stamped the sentiment on the hills using my Misti so I could get the curve just right.  I added a couple snowflake embellishments I had in my stash.

I hope you check out Lawn Fawn and their adorable stamps.  I have my eye on their new release. 

Creative Crew

 Time for another challenge from our Creative Crew group at Splitcoaststampers.  Lorraine is our hostess this month and she came up with a great challenge for us this month.  Her theme she selected for us is "Trick or Treat".  I always love making halloween cards using bright colors.

The image is called Miss October from Close To My Heart.  She sent us 2 sizes and I decided to use the smaller one.  I colored the image with my copic markers and this cut the image out with a scallop oval die.  The papers I used are Moster Madness by Doodlebug and A Little Scary by Fancy Pants Designs.  I also used a bit of the Offray ribbon she sent.  

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Check out the rest of the team by clicking on their name below to see what they did with the challenge.
