The project bin

Time again for another fun card for The Projectwww.theprojectbin.com Bin.  I made this card with the stamp set "Born Yesterday".

I just love these sentiment stamps.

PIP Challenge #1927

Today at Pammie's Inky Pinkies we have a new challenge sponsored by Polkadoodles.

For my card today I decided to make a fun scene using the digital stamp "Tree Scene" from Polkadoodles.  

I started this card by printing off the tree image and coloring it with my copic markers.  The clouds in the background were from a cloud stencil I had.  I then added the birds from a die I had and the flowers from a die set I had.  The grass is a punch.  I added the happy birthday sentiment at the side of the card.  

What a fun card this was to make.  Be sure and join us over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for a change to win 3 free digital images from Polkadoodles.

The Project Bin

Well here it is the day before the big 4th of July.  I just had to make a card today for my Wednesday project for The Project Bin. 

For my card today I used several colors of Distress Oxides (Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, Seedless preserves, & wilted violet).  I sponged the background until I liked the color.  What a nice combination this turned out to be.  The sky line is a die I had.  I used the stamp set "Red, White & Boom".  I must confess that I this was kind of a mistake card.  I was using my misti and the bursting stamp with versa mark and white embossing powder.  I didn't realize that I had moved the stamp just a bit so my bursts overlapped.  But when the card was complete, I liked the look.  I used black embossing powder for the sentiment.

I hope everyone has a happy & safe 4th of July.  Be sure and check out the special this month for The Project Bin.  With every $80 of merchandise purchase, you will receive the Cool Ghoul stamp set and dies.  

Challenge Your Stash

My card today is for our Challenge your Stash group at Splitcoaststampers.  Maggie was our hostess this month and she challenged us to celebrate the start of summer and make a card with yellow and sunshine. 

I pulled out a stamp set from Stampin Up (Petal Palette) that I had not ever used and decided it would be perfect for this card.  I started by sponging the sunrays on the background using Fossilized Amber & Squeezed Lemonade distress oxides.  I then colored my roses with my copic markers.  I punched out a butterfly and colored them with my distress oxides.  The sentiment is from Penny Black "Sprinkles and Smiles".

Thanks Maggie for a great challenge.

The Project Bin

This month I have been featuring the stamp set "Red, White & Boom" from The Project Bin.  You can receive this stamp set free over at The Project Bin this month with a $75 order.

I love the fireworks stamp in this set.  I stamped it in Red and blue on this card and then stamped the sentiment "Happy Independence Day" in the center of the card.  I added a little sparkle by gluing the blue & red stars in the center of the fireworks.

A simple card but perfect for the 4th of July.

PIP Challenge #1925

Today for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge #1925 we have a new sponsor called "The Cutting Cafe".  It is such a fun store.  I sure hope you check it out.

For my project today, I am using the "Gift Enclosure card Box Template set" from The Cutting Cafe.  This is the perfect box for those little note cards you like to add to packages.

The pattern is so easy to put together.  I just used some scraps of paper I had to make this adorable little box.  

Inky Paws Challenge

My fourth and final card for the Inky Paws Challenge is to make something using my favorite Newtons Nook product.  Well I love the deer images that they had designed so I chose to use the "Deer Friend" stamp set as my favorite product.

I used several colors of distress oxides with water to make the blue background.  I used a leaf embossing folder on the piece of green cardstock.  The deer are colors with my Altenew watercolors.  Aren't these guys just adorable?
