PIP Challenge #2539

 This week over at Pammies Inky Pinkies we are doing a Fall/Halloween theme sponsored by Whimsy Stamps.

Did you know that Whimsy Stamps have Digital Images?  They are absolutely gorgeous and so fun to print off and color.  I loved this challenge so much that I decided to make 2 cards.

The first card I used the digital stamp "Autumn Banner".  I printed it off and colored it with my copic markers.  I always have fun when I get to color a fox.  The green paper is by Taylored Expressions called Playful Patterns Harvest.  The Happy Die is by Pink Fresh called Classic Word Die.

The second card I made I used the digital image "Candy Mouse".  I printed it off and colored it with my copic markers.  I used the Doodlebug "Hey Pumpkin" paper for the card base.

I hope you check out Whimsy Stamps because I always love finding somewhere to get a nice selection of digital images.

Inky Paws Challenge #244

 This month over at Inky Paws Challenge they are doing a fall/Halloween theme.

I would say Fall is my favorite time of year.  Right now we are having cooler weather and I am loving our daily walks.  I also love making Fall cards because I just love coloring pumpkins.

I found this stamp set "Newtons Nook Pumpkin Latte" in my stash and decided to make a fall card with it.  I was sad to see this set has been discontinued.  But they do have lots of other fall stamp sets to choose from.  I just purchased a cute one from their site and hope to post a picture of it next week.

I used the die "Frames & Tags" from Newtons Nook and I love how there are so many possibilities with this die.  The paper I used was Autumn Paper Pad from Newtons Nook.  The paper is so nice and heavy and is so nice to work with.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out the other cards submitted on the Inky Paws Challenge this month.  

I am also putting this card on Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges because Newtons Nook was our wonderful sponsor this week.

I am also using this card for our Challenge Your Stash group  on Splitcoaststampers because the theme is to make a fall card.

Creative Crew

 I know yesterday was the 15th and reveal day for our Creative Crew group but I had my PIP Challenge for our Design Team to post.  So I thought I would post my card today.

Terry was our hostess this month for our Creative Crew group.  She chose "Picture Perfect" stamp set from My Favorite Things for our challenge.

The polaroid die cuts are from My Favorite Things also called Instaframe.  The papers are from American Crafts and Stampin Up.

I colored the images with my copic markers.  I used the frame die and colored it with Broken China Distress oxide using my blending brush.

PIP Challenge #2537

 This weeks challenge for Pammies Inky Pinkies is sponsored by Pattie's Creations.

I hope you check out her store on Etsy because she has so many adorable digital images.

For my card today I decided to use her Poinsettia digital image since I am trying to get ahead of making my Christmas Cards.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out some of the fun images on Pattie's Creations.

PIP Challenge #2535

 I can't believe it has been two weeks since I posted for Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.  The older I get it seems like the faster time goes by.  Our sponsor this week is Vrada Sharma LLC.  

For my card today I decided to use the digital stamp "Camelia Frames".  I really like the flexibility of this stamp because you can use any sentiment when making your card.  

I printed off the oval from the stamp set and the camelia flower with leaves and colored them with my copic markers.  I then sponged the oval with Broken China Distress oxide to give it the blue color.  I then fussy cut the floral image and the oval.  I chose a simple background for the image.  I love using up my scraps to create a card.  The sentiment was from a package by Pinkfresh called Rainbow Sentiments.  It was so fun to just pick one out for the card.

Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Barb was our hostess this month and her challenge is to use water on your card, either an image or watercolor, spritz or the word water.  I always love this challenge every month because I go to my stash and find stamps I have never used.  My card today is the perfect example.

I have always loved foxes so I had purchased this adorable stamp set "Ahoy Fox" by Dare 2B Artzy.  I finally found an occasion to pull it out and use it.  The paper has waves in the background and was a scrap in my stash.  I tore a piece of brown paper at the bottom and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges.  I colored the image with my copic markers, fussy cut it out and pop dotted it on the card.

What a great challenge this month from Barb.

PIP Challenge #2533

 It is time for another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Challenge #2533 is being sponsored by Vrada Sharma LLC.  

There are so many beautiful digital stamps on their website and it is hard to decide which one to use for my card.  I decided to go with the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set.  I thought this was such a pretty set.

I started out the card by printed the image on my printer and then coloring it with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut the image out.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I just love the additional of the floral images on the balloon.  The background paper is a piece of scrap paper I had.  I love to collect paper with clouds for the background.  

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out PIP Challenges and see what the rest of the design team came up with.
