Creative Crew

  The 15th of the month sure seems to roll around quickly.  This means it is time for our creative crew group on Splitcoaststampers post their card for the challenge for the month.  Barb is our hostess this month and her challenge is using a floral Pinkfresh Studio image called "Never Give Up".  I always love floral stamps because they are so much fun to color.

I used the stamped image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then used a corner rounder on all edges of the white cardstock.  The pink background is paper from Carta Bella Flora No 3.  I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Dotted Scallop Rectangle Die to cut out the scalloped edges.   I added a few gems from Honey Bee Simply Spring gems and placed them on the center of the yellow flowers.  The sentiment is from the same Pinkfresh stamp set.  Such a great image to work with.

PIP Challenge #2615

 Today's Challenge #2615 over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn this week.  

                                                     

I am such a big fan of Lawn Fawn Stamps because you can create the most adorable scenes with their stamps.  I couldn't decide which stamp set to use so I pulled out one I haven't used in a while.

The stamp set I used is called Flamingo Together.  I stamped out the images and used the matching dies to cut them out.  I then cut them out with my copic markers.  I used a wave die that I had and circle die for the background of the flamingos.  The blue background paper is from Echo Park Wish Upon A Star.  Doesn't this card just remind you of the beach?

I noticed that this stamp set will be retiring soon on the Lawn Fawn website so if you want to purchase, you might want to grab it soon.

PIP Challenge #2613

 This weeks challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is sponsored by our own PIP.  The theme this week is Spring/Rain.

                                                             

For my card I am using the stamp set from Newtons Nook Designs called "Rainy Day".  I thought this would be the perfect image for the challenge this week.

I found an old sheet of rain paper by Stampin Up that I used for the background and then stamped the image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then assembled it on to the card. 

I hope to see lots of Spring cards over on Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.  

Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash Group on Splitcoaststampers.  This month our hostess is Sue and she challenged us to make something for St. Patrick's Day.  I don't have alot of St. Patrick's Day cards so I thought I would share my March calendar that I made.

I used the stamp set from Two Paper Divas called Lucky Me.  I colored the image with my copic Markers.  I put a magnet behind the green paper and change the top of my calendar every month.  I love these  mini tear off calendars from Taylored Expressions.  Thanks to Sue for a great challenge this month.

PIP Challenge #2611

 Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges  #2611 is sponsored by Polkadoodles.

I always have a hard time deciding which image to use for my Polkadoodles card because there are so many adorable images to pick from.  I finally decided on "Must Bee Tea time Buzzy Gnome".  

The papers I used were from The Bees Knees by Honey Bee Stamps.  I printed off the image on my printer and then colored it with copic markers.  I used black cardstock on each piece of paper to make the image pop.  The Hello There sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Sundry Sentiments.  

I hope you check out Polkadoodles website because digital images are to fun to work with.

PIP Challenge #2609

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

                                                  

She has some darling stamps in her etsy shop and I had a hard time deciding what image to go with.  Since we just moved in to March, I thought it would be nice to do a St. Patricks Day card.

The image I used for this card is called Four Leaf Clover.  I started my card my printing the image on my printer and coloring it with my copic markers.  The papers I used were from Happy St. Patricks Day collection by Echo Park.  I used a stitched circle die to cut the image out with.  I then layered the papers.  The sentiment is from "Lucky Me" by Two Paper Divas.  I used the Sentiment Strips Dies by Pretty Pink Posh to cut the sentiment out with.  I used a Pink Fresh Emerald City gem in the center of the larger Four Leaf Clover.

Be sure and check out Star Stampz etsy store for fun digital stamps.
