Creative Crew

 I know yesterday was the 15th and reveal day for our Creative Crew group but I had my PIP Challenge for our Design Team to post.  So I thought I would post my card today.

Terry was our hostess this month for our Creative Crew group.  She chose "Picture Perfect" stamp set from My Favorite Things for our challenge.

The polaroid die cuts are from My Favorite Things also called Instaframe.  The papers are from American Crafts and Stampin Up.

I colored the images with my copic markers.  I used the frame die and colored it with Broken China Distress oxide using my blending brush.

PIP Challenge #2537

 This weeks challenge for Pammies Inky Pinkies is sponsored by Pattie's Creations.

I hope you check out her store on Etsy because she has so many adorable digital images.

For my card today I decided to use her Poinsettia digital image since I am trying to get ahead of making my Christmas Cards.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out some of the fun images on Pattie's Creations.

PIP Challenge #2535

 I can't believe it has been two weeks since I posted for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.  The older I get it seems like the faster time goes by.  Our sponsor this week is Vrada Sharma LLC.  

For my card today I decided to use the digital stamp "Camelia Frames".  I really like the flexibility of this stamp because you can use any sentiment when making your card.  

I printed off the oval from the stamp set and the camelia flower with leaves and colored them with my copic markers.  I then sponged the oval with Broken China Distress oxide to give it the blue color.  I then fussy cut the floral image and the oval.  I chose a simple background for the image.  I love using up my scraps to create a card.  The sentiment was from a package by Pinkfresh called Rainbow Sentiments.  It was so fun to just pick one out for the card.

Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Barb was our hostess this month and her challenge is to use water on your card, either an image or watercolor, spritz or the word water.  I always love this challenge every month because I go to my stash and find stamps I have never used.  My card today is the perfect example.

I have always loved foxes so I had purchased this adorable stamp set "Ahoy Fox" by Dare 2B Artzy.  I finally found an occasion to pull it out and use it.  The paper has waves in the background and was a scrap in my stash.  I tore a piece of brown paper at the bottom and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges.  I colored the image with my copic markers, fussy cut it out and pop dotted it on the card.

What a great challenge this month from Barb.

PIP Challenge #2533

 It is time for another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Challenge #2533 is being sponsored by Vrada Sharma LLC.  

There are so many beautiful digital stamps on their website and it is hard to decide which one to use for my card.  I decided to go with the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set.  I thought this was such a pretty set.

I started out the card by printed the image on my printer and then coloring it with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut the image out.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I just love the additional of the floral images on the balloon.  The background paper is a piece of scrap paper I had.  I love to collect paper with clouds for the background.  

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out PIP Challenges and see what the rest of the design team came up with.

Creative Crew

 It's the 15th of the month which means it is time for our Creative Crew challenge.  Jeanette is our hostess and she sent us alot of fun goodies for the challenge which is "Add Your Favorite Color".  I had a hard time with this challenge because it is like having a favorite Child.  So I am going with my favorite color combo which is pink/turquoise.

The image is Gina K Smiling Blooms which was stamped on Gina K Base Weight White cardstock with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink.  I used the Pink Fresh Studio Elongated Lattice Die and sponged it with Broken China Distress oxide.  The pink is Paper Cut Crystal Diamond Glitter Cardstock and sponged with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide.  I colored the image with my copic markers and added a few gems for bling.

Check out the rest of the Creative Crew to see what they came up with.

It's All About Christmas

 I decided to make another Christmas card this week.  I keep thinking if I make one Christmas card a week until Christmas, I will have plenty to mail out.

For my card this week I decided to go to Inky Paws Challenge by Newtons Nook Designs.  The challenge this week is a sketch challenge.  

This was such a fun challenge.  For my card I am using the stamp set "Newton Loves Coffee".   The sentiment is from the Cup of Cocoa stamp set.  The paper is from Happy Pawlidays by Recollections.

Such a fun card to make.  I am also entering this card in the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge since the theme this month is "Coffee, Tea or Cocoa".
