Creative Crew

 The 15th of the month sure rolled around quickly.  This means it is time for our Creative Crew Group to post their cards.

Our challenge this month was from Jeanette to use our favorite stamp set.  That is hard for me because I love them all.  Most of you know that I love Newton's Nook Designs so I just went to my stash and picked out one I haven't used in a while.

The stamp set I used for this card is Newton's Birthday Balloons.  This set is actually on sale right now.  For inspiration for my card I went to Inky Paws Challenge  and noticed they had a color challenge.

I stamped the image off and then colored it with my copic markers.  I then used the matching dies to cut it out.  The designer papers are from Echo Park called It's Easter Time.  I used a few gems on the card to give it some sparkle.  Be sure and check out the rest of the design team to see what they created.

I am entering my card in the Inky Paws Challenge this week.  Such fun colors to play with.

Thanks to Jeanette for a great challenge this week.

PIP Challenge #2515

 This weeks challenge for Pammies Inky Pinkies is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.

I absolutely love Lawn Fawn stamps because you can create such fun scenes with the images.  For my card today I am using the stamp set Sew Very Mice.  

I had so much fun creating this card.  I started out using the waffle flower embroidery hoop die and cross sticked a pink heart on dotted paper for the center.  I then colored several of the images from the Sew Very Mice stamp set and using the matching die cuts to cut them out.  I then placed then on to the card at different areas.

I will be sending this card to a very special friend that likes to sew.  I'm sure she will enjoy it.  

PIP Challenge #2513

 We have a fun challenge this week over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges. Since this is the 3rd Monday of the month we will have challenge #2513 sponsored by PIP Challenges. The theme is Rain.

The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

Scrapbook.com

I had fun making my card for this challenge.  

I started my card by layering a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 navy cardstock on my folded card base.  I then took a raindrop cutting plate and cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of white cardstock.  I then sponged the whole sheet with Distress Oxide Broken China.  After layering this on the navy cardstock, I cut the MFT Slimline Grassy Hills out of green cardstock and distressed the edges and put at bottom of card.  I added the Lil Inker Sun die at the top along with the sentiment and image from Newtons Nook Rainy Day.

I hope you join us over at PIP Challenges for our challenge this week.

Challenge Your Stash

 Today is our day to post our cards for our Challenge Your Stash Group on Splitcoaststampers.  Barb challenged us to make a fun fold card and use the color green.

I loved this challenge because I am a fan of fun fold cards.  I'm not sure what this is called but I basically added a folded front.  The patterned paper I used is Stitched with Love from P13.  I found an embossed folder by Cuttlebug for the lighter green and decided to use it.  The stamp set for the leaves and sentiment from Stampin Up called Simply Sketched.  I used Mossy Meadow stampin up ink for the stamping part of the card.

This is the inside of the card once you open it up.  What a fun challenge this month.  Thank go out to Barb for coming up with this challenge.

PIP Challenge #2511

 We are so lucky to have Polkadoodles as our sponsor this week for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2511.

I am always excited to make a card using Polkadoodles images.  They are so fun to work with.  For my first card I am using Easter Basket Chick.  

I printed off the image and colored it with my copic markers.  If you are not a fan of coloring, Polkadoodles offers an image pre-colored.  Makes it easy.  The designer paper I used is I's Easter Time by Echo Park.  I used a scallop square die for the background of the die.  

I had so much fun with Polkadoodles images that I made another Easter card using Happy Easter Chick.  

For this card I took a piece of white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4" and used the MFT Cloud Stencil using Distress Oxide China Blue.  I then added the grass using MFT Slimline Grassy Hills Die.  I sponged a little bit of SU Old Olive Ink around the edges of the grass.  I printed the image and then colored it with my copic markers.  The sun is a die from Lil Inker.

I sure had fun making these Easter cards.  Be sure and check out Polkadoodles store for some amazing Digital images.

Creative Crew March 2025

 I can't believe the 15th of March is here already.  I am enjoying the warmer weather and seeing some tulips pop up.  Barb and Jeanette came up with our challenge this month for our us.  They decided on a sketch and color challenge which I love.  The color challenge from Barb is:

The sketch challenge from Jeanette is:

So I had some fun with these 2 challenges.  For my card I used Sips & Stories from Newtons Nook.  The designer paper is from Whimsy called Rainbows.  Since I love to read, I thought this would make the perfect card for the challenge.

I hope you check out the rest of the design team to see what they came up with for this challenge.

PIP Challenge #2509

Time for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge #2509.  We are lucky enough to have Star Stampz as our sponsor this week.  She has a wonderful shop in etsy.  Please check out her adorable images.

For my card I decided to use the stamp "Spring Rain".  

I printed off the image on my printer and then colored it with my copic markers.  The papers I used are Flora No 3 by Carta Bella.  The sentiment is from Stamp Up Petitie Pairs.  I used a scallop oval on the pink paper.  I added a few gems to give it some dimension. 

Now I hope this card brings us lots of spring weather.  Last week was in the 60s which is perfect for me this time of year.
