Power Poppy.....Birthday Greetings

Happy Monday Peeps!!

I am sharing a card I made using an awesome digi stamp from Power Poppy. I have long been an admirer of this fabulous company. They have what I LOVE the most, flowers, all Flowers all the time.

I finally took the leap and bought this amazing digi stamp. They release new digis every month and also have a line of clear stamps too.

I printed this out onto some Rustic Cream cardstock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

I used Strawberry Slush, a bit of Blushing Bride, the leaves are Wild Wasabi and then I outlined with some Lost Lagoon. The branch is colored Chocolate Chip ink.

I kept it fairly simple just layering the main panel onto some Strawberry Slush card stock.

The base is more Rustic Cream cardstock.

The sentiment is from the SU Wetlands stamp set. 

I added a few mini pearls to the flower centers of the open blooms. 

Linking this with the Power & Spark Challenge Pop Of Pastel

I am adding this at the Seize the Birthday Challenge Blog.

Raggedy Scarecrow

Happy Thursday peeps!!!

Today I have a sweet little scarecrow card to share with you. This image is a free digital I picked up over at Birdie Brown. Isn't it adorable?? I had fun coloring it up, still learning with those copics but I do love this!

I used some retired DSP on here it is from the Orchard Harvest pack., some really fun prints in this pack with a country feel which fit the Raggedy scarecrow well.

The sentiment is from a non SU set. and I added a button and some twine. finished it off with a couple of candy dots!

Merry Monday.....Beary Christmas

Happy Monday Peeps!!

We are back from our one week break with a new Merry Monday Challenge.

Here is the great sketch Lesley has for us this week:

Today I am using a great little digi stamp from Heather Ellis.

I printed the digi out on some white card stock and colored with my copic markers. 

I die cut the main piece out with my oval framelits and then used the same framelit to draw and cut out the mat with some Cherry Cobbler card stock.

The sentiment is computer generated and printed out onto some white card stock. I cut and matted it with more cherry cobbler. I added an antique brad to the sentiment banner and some silver pearls to the top corners.

The base of the card is Gumball Green card stock, then a layer of white and the DSP is from the Festival of Print paper pack.

Here is a little close-up of the main image:

I added some stardust stickles under the image and to the pop pom on the bears hat. I used my white get pen to add a few details to the image. 

Be sure and hop on over to Lesley's Blog to see what the rest of the Merry Makers did with this great sketch!

Merry Monday....Snowmen

Merry Monday Peeps!!!

Today Lesley has a fun challenge for us..

Use a snowman, can do!!!

I wanted to play with this fun free digital image that I got back in December from Birdie Brown.

I so love it and it is so FUN to color!

I got to play with my copics with this, still learning with those!

The base of my card is white card stock and then a layer of real red and the DSP is from the Polka Dot Parade pack. I tried to keep it simple and just let the colored image be the star! Can you believe I used NO ribbons or pearls? The image is matted with real red and then whisper white and attached to the base with dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from the retired "Four the Holidays", I stamped with black stazon, cut it out, trimmed the ends and folded into the banner. 

Be sure and hop on over to Lesley's blog "Always Playing with Paper" to see what the rest of the Merry Makers did with this fun challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Paper Players....Merry Christmas

Happy Monday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card made using the challenge this week on The Paper Players Blog.

I fell in LOVE with this adorable digi image which is a freebie from Birdie Brown. 

I printed out and colored with my copic markers. Here is a little close-up of the adorable image:

So cute huh?

I cut around the top part of the image and mounted some  DSP behind it. The paper comes from the Stampin Up Snow Festival pack. It is covered with snowflakes and makes it look like they are outside and fits the snowflake theme for the challenge. I then matted this with some Baja Breeze card stock.

The base of the card is white and the sentiment is from the "Greetings of the Season" set. I stamped with black stazon directly onto the base, using my stamp a ma jig to line it up.

A CAS,  and easily mailable card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I will be taking a bit of break til after Christmas, so much to do and my crafting time will be limited, I may pop in and I may not, so if not 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours

March Calendar Page

Happy March 1st Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing my March calendar page. These Pure Innocence little girls are adorable. This one is a digi image. She is printed out and colored with my copics. I used garden green and certainly celery card stock on this page. The DSP is some I had in my stash. The sentiment comes from the Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. The ribbon is certainly celery and the little gold charm is from my local craft store as is the little round embellie by her feet.

You can see my February page HERE and the January page HERE.

Be sure and head over to my friend Wendy's Blog to see her Calendar Page for March too!



Thank you for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
