Challenge Your Stash

Today I am posting a card I made for our challenge on Splitcoast Stampers Create from Your Stash.  Our hostess this month was  Lisa and she selected our theme to be "Easter".  I love this challenge because I have so many Easter stamps and it was so fun to go through them and pick one out for the challenge.

The stamp set is Sweet Easter Set by Art Impressions.  The designer paper is "It's Easter Time" by Echo Park.  I also used a Mini Slim Circle Window Cutting Plate by Taylored Expressions.

I colored the images with copic markers and then put them on the front of the cutting plate.

Thanks to Lisa for a great challenge.

Creative Crew

 I am so late in posting this card.  I have been sick for several days and just now getting some of my energy back.  I did want to post my card because our hostess this month was Carol and she came up with such a great idea for our challenge this month.

Our theme this month is National Poultry Day.  I just love that theme.  The farm girl in me comes out thinking of all the chickens we had when I was a kid.


The image I used was from Stampin Up called Rustic Rooster.  The papers are from The Paper Studio called Country Road.  I colored the image with my copic markers and then used a few dies I had to highlight the image.

Thanks to Carol for a great them this month.  You can see what some of the other gals on the team did by clicking on their name below.

PIP Challenge #2409

 I am a little late in posting my card for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2409.  Our internet was down all day yesterday.  Oh the joys of modern technology.  We love it when it works but not happy when it doesn't.  

Our sponsor this week is Star Stampz who has some amazing digital stamps in her etsy store.


For my card today I am using the stamp "My Sweet Rose".  I love all kinds of flowers so this was so much fun to color.

The designer papers I used are from Doodlebug Hello Sunshine.  I colored the image with my copic markers and used a little glossy accents on the eyes.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee Sentiment stamp set.  The leaf die is by sizzix called garden greens.  Such a fun image to work with.

I hope you all check out the Star Stampz store and find yourself a few adorable digital images.

PIP Challenge #2405

 This weeks challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I am such a fan of theirs with all the cute stamps that you can put together.



For my card today I pulled out one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamps which was Lawn Fawn Berry Special.  There is always so much you can do with these stamps.


I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Blank Ink on Neenah Classic Crest Paper.  I then colored the images with my copics markers and cut then out with the matching dies.  I did a faint cloud background using the MFT Mini Cloud stencil.  The sentiment is from the Berry Special stamp set also.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Animals Challenge #80 - Use an animal

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - Anything Goes

PIP Challenge #2403

 Today brings a new challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  This weeks challenge is sponsored by Penguin Palace which is a new sponsor for PIP Challenges.

I had a hard time deciding which of their adorable digital stamps to use for my card today.  I finally decided to use "Happy Easter".  I figured it was never too early to start on my easter cards.  
I colored the image with my copic markers and then fussy cut the image and sentiment out.  I used a scallop oval die to cut the pink paper out of.  The  background paper was from scraps that I had in my stash.

Be sure and check out Penguin Palace and see their adorable inventory of digital stamps.
