PIP Challenges 2521

 I am so excited for my card today because our sponsor this week for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges is Newtons Nook Designs which is one of my favorite stamp companies.  Might be because their logo has a yellow kitty on it that reminds me of my cat Rocky.

For my card I am using the stamp set Puppy Friends.  Unfortunately I think this stamp set has been discontinued which makes me sad because I think it is such a cute stamp set.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then fussy cut it out and put it on the circle die.  The papers I used were from Fur Friends by Amy Design.  I found a sketch challenge on Newtons Nook Inky Paws Challenge and thought it would be fun to create a card using it.

I hope you join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week.

May Creative Crew

Today is reveal day for our Creative Crew group on Splitcoaststampers.  We are 7  card making friends that met years ago on SCS and formed this fun little group.

Each month once of us will host the challenge.  May was the month I chose to be hostess.  I love flowers of all kinds and May has so many beautiful flowers blooming.  The iris, peonies, magnolia, etc. are just a few that I saw this week on my walk.

In my kit this month I sent the following item:

Images of "Perfect Posy" by Gina K. Designs

Several sheets of Life is Beautiful designer paper by Echo Park

Butterflies for SU Embosslits Beautiful Wings

Misc Gems

I decided to do a fun fold card for my card this month.  I colored the image with my copic markers and started putting the card together.

I'm not sure exactly what this fold is called but I like that it tucks in the triangle on the front of the card.  So fun to put together.

Be sure and check on the links below to see what the other girls came up with.

I hope everyone had fun with the image this month.

PIP Challenge #2519

 I had so much fun today for Challenge #2519 over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Our sponsor this week is Polkadoodles Crafts.  They have so many adorable digital stamps.  I always have a hard time deciding which one to use.

                                             

For my first card I am using the image "Love Bird Sign".  I colored the image with my copic markers and came up with this card.  I used a circle die to cut the image out and then I used a MFT Scalloped stitched circle die to go around the circle.  The papers are from I Love crafting by Echo Park.

My next card is from "Gardening Lily Ladybug".  What I love about these stamps are that you can purchase them pre-colored.  So fun.  I am using a pre-colored image on this card.  I am running out of ink in my printer so this really does not give the image justice but it sure makes a sweet card.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps Be Still.

I hope you stop by Polkadoodles and see all their amazing digital images.  I believe they are still offering a 40% off on printables so act fast and get that image you are looking for.

BYSHC Linky Party

 Today is the final day for the BYSHC Linky Party.  I decided to make another Christmas card for my link today.

I always love going to my Christmas stamp collection and pull out a stamp I have never used or haven't used in a long time.  

This was a wooden stamp by Stamps Happen called Chickadee.  I had so much fun coloring it with my copic markers.  The paper I used is from Dear Santa by Carta Bella.  The sentiment is from Pink Fresh called Christmas Banners.  

Thanks to BYSHC for another great linky party.

BYSH Card Hop

 Well I am a little late in participating in the BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Hop.  I guess better late than not at all.  

This is always such a fun hop to participate in and you can get some great ideas to make your Christmas cards.  It is never too early to start on your cards.

This was a Polkadoodles digital image I have had for a while.  I think it might of been a freebie of the month.  They have so many fun digital images.  If you don't like to color, they have precolored images where you can print any size and make into a card.  It doesn't get any easier.

Thanks so much for all of those individuals involved in the BYSH Cardmakers Spring Into Christmas Linky Party.
