Challenge Your Stash

Today my card was made for our Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  I decided to go through my many Newton's Nook Stamps and thought the dog stamp from Darling Duos would work perfect for my card.

I just love using my alphabet dies and using something else for the O.  Here the adorable dogs fit perfectly where the O would go.  I colored the image with my copic markers and then used a heart die to cut them out.  There is a matching heart die from Newton's Nook and I would highly recommend getting it because all hearts are not the same.

I decided to enter my card in the Inky Paws Challenge this week because the theme is hearts. 

The Project Bin

Today for my post for The Project Bin I made a card for all those crazy dog lovers.  I have had several dogs throughout the years.  My favorites would be Corky my Welsh Corgi and Simba my Rhodesian Ridgeback.  Both will always have a special place in my heart.  I thought I had a picture of them together but I cannot find it.

I used the stamp set "Kinda Pawsome" and some fun dies I had to make a fun scenic card.  I love the dog trying to get over the fence.

I hope you check out the store at The Project Bin.  She has some new adorable stamp sets that I can't wait to play with.  

Also, you need to catch The Project Bin's Debut Show on www.hochanda.com on Saturday, January 25 at 9:00am.  You will probably see some of my cards there.  How exciting for Denise.

PIP Challenge #2003

Today is Challenge #2003 over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are lucky enough to have Lawn Fawn as our sponsor.  I am a big fan of their adorable stamp sets.   For my card today I was thinking Easter so I made a card using the stamp set "Eggstra Amazing Easter".

I just colored my images with copic markers and then fussy cut them out.  I used a cloud die for the top and a grass die for the bottom.  I just love this adorable set with the adorable chicks and bunnies.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure and check out some of the other creations on Pammie's Inky Pinkies.

Mystery Swap #56

Today is the 18th and the due date for a Mystery Swap that I participate on SCS. This is my card for that swap.  LJ is our hostess this month and she selected this adorable image from Gina K Designs from the Country Rods 2 stamp set.

It is always fun to see what everyone does with the image.  I decided to cut part of it out at the top so the flowers would really pop.  The sentiment I used was from a Stampin Up set I had.

Thanks LJ for a great challenge.

   

Dueling Darlings

Today is reveal day for our Dueling Darlings on Splitcoaststampers.  Terry S. and LJ were our hostesses this month and they decided our theme this month would be penguins.  I just love coloring penguins so this was a fun challenge for me.

 The image I used was Petey Penguin #2 by Inky Antics.  I colored this little guy with my copic markers and then fussy cut it out.  The Designer papers are as follows:
Polka Dot Orange - MME
Black Chevron - Paper Studio
Snowflake - American Crafts
Inside the card I used
Chilling with the Penguins - Reminisce

The clouds are a memory box swirl stich die and the sun is by lil inker.  Love both of these dies.

I knew I had to use this adorable paper for the inside of my card.  Going with the penguin theme.

So thanks to Terry and LJ for a great challenge.

Birthday Card

I needed to make a birthday card for a friend so I went to Newtons Nook Inky Paws Challenge #114 to give me some inspiration.  It is a sketch challenge as shown below.

For my card I wanted to do something floral so I used the stamp set "Peony Blooms" by Newtons Nook.  I also used the Frames & Flags Die set which is a favorite of mine.

I love coloring flowers with my copic markers.  I colored the large peony stamped image and then fussy cut it out.  I used a solid green for the bottom part and stamped a few leaves from the stamp set.  I then colored them with matching copic colors.  The sentiment is from Beautiful Wings.  The designer paper is Spring Fling by Echo Park.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest project.
