Bunny Hugs -- a New Release for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, and welcome to some New Release inspiration from All Dressed Up Stamps. I love New Release days!  It's always so fun to create with Wendy Burns' wonderful digital images.I had the fun this month of creating with Bunny Hugs:

I created a mini slim card with this darling Bunny Hugs image.  I colored it with Copic markers, then used mini slim dies from Trinity Stamps and Spellbinders to create the card.  The floral background paper is digital.  It is from AMB Illustrations.  The sentiment is from Pink & Main, and the sequins are flat backed ones from Spellbinders. 

You'll find 3 NR images in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop. The design team has new release inspiration in the ADU Facebook group and on the ADU Challenge blog.  Please, check it out. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Flowers Coloring Page -- for The Paper Shelter

 It's Wednesday, and that means it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog. Every Wednesday, a new challenge begins.  This week, the theme is "For the Ladies."  I thought a sheet of colored flowers would definitely qualify 'For the Ladies'.  This is a page from the Flowers Digital coloring book.  I sized it quite small.  I made the watering can from Altenew dies.  The sentiment is from Pink & Main.

I made it into a mini slim card.  It is one of my favorite sizes of cards.  The flowers  were colored with Altenew Artist markers. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you can join us this week for our 'For the Ladies' challenge!

Pixie Caramel Macchiato -- For The Paper Shelter

 Hello, thanks for your visit to my blog today!  Don't these weeks go by quickly?  Here we are to Wednesday, so that means it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. The theme this week is: Food &/or Drink.  You'll find lots of images in The Paper Shelter store that fit that theme! You can enter with any image you want, but the prize is much better if you've used a Paper Shelter image.

For this week's Food & Drink challenge, I used the darling Pixie Caramel Macchiato


I colored Pixie Caramel Macchiato with Copic markers.  I used a set of nesting dies from Hero Arts to cut out the image and back it.  The designer coffee themed papers are from AMB Illustrations.  The sentiment and die to cut it out are from Pink & Main.  Some sticky backed gems from Altenew finish off the card. 

Here's a graphic explaining the prizes at The Paper Shelter Challenges.  


Please join us!  I'd love to see what you create.

Two Little Mice -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Thanks for visiting my blog today!  I can't believe that we are to March already.  These years never slow down.  March 1 means a new challenge has started the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group.  The theme this month is, "Animals All Around".  I've been wanting to color up these two cute mice, so this was the perfect opportunity.  Here is 'Two Little Mice'.

I colored Two Little Mice with Copic markers.  I used two dies from a Hero Arts square die stacking set.  I created a frame with them. The designer papers are old ones from Crafter's Companion.  The flowers in 2 of the corners were made with dies by Spellbinders.  They have a best flower dies! The darling sentiment is part of a Hero Arts stamp set. 

I hope you can join us this month in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group.  I'd love to see what you create with our 'Animals all Over' theme. 

 

Guinea Pig Mom -- for Di's Digistamps

 Happy March!  Here we are, one day closer to Spring.  We've had a very long stretch of cold weather where I live.  Much of January and February were well below zero.  It makes me ready for Spring!

There is a new challenge starting today on the Di's Digi Designs Challenges.  It runs for the next 2 weeks and has the theme of 'Green with Envy'.  Use the color green on your project and you are good to enter.  Use a Di's Digistamps image and you're gold! 

My card for the 'Green with Envy' challenge uses a new image from the store, Guinea Pig Mom.  I used the black & white version, but there is also a preprinted version, if you prefer.

Here's my card featuring Guinea Pig Mom:

I used shades of greens, yellow greens, and blue greens through the card.  Isn't that a precious image?  I used it for spring, but I also think it would make a great Mother's Day card. 

I colored Guinea Pig Mom with Copic markers.  I used a set of stacking dies from Taylored Expressions to cut out the image, back it, and make the shaped card.  The sentiment and banner die are from Pink & Main.  The designer papers are from Crafter's companion. The enamel dots are from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog today and I really hope you'll enter our challenge at Di's Digistamps.  March is all about green!
