Prickle All the Way -- for Di's Digistamps Challenge

 Happy holidays and thanks for visiting my blog!  This is it, my final Christmas card of 2025 (or possibly for 2026).  I'm in the process of sending out cards and I think I have enough for this season.  Yeah!

Today is the start of a new challenge at Di's Digistamps Challenges.  The theme for the next 2 weeks is 'Winter Holidays'.  Di has so, so many cute digis for the winter/Christmas season.  Check out her Etsy shop and see for yourself!

I used the darling image Prickle all the Way for today's card:

I colored Prickle All the Way with Copic markers.  I used new elongated circle dies with a blanket stitch edge (Pinkfresh Studios) to cut out and back the Prickle image. The blue snowflake designer paper is from Crafter's Companion. The sentiment is a stamp/die combo from Hero Arts.  I kept the card simple because I love the Prickle all the Way image and wanted it to be the focus of the card, with no distractions. 

I hope you can join us this fortnight for our Winter/Christmas holidays challenge.  I'd love to see what you create!!

I hope to enter this card in the following challenges:

Hedgehog Flower -- For All Dressed Up Stamps

May day, May day!  It's the first day of May!   It's time for a new challenge in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group.  The theme for May is Flower Power.  Easy peasy, right?  There are many amazing All Dressed Up Stamps images you could use to fit this theme. 

I love the Hedgehog Flower digital image, and used it for my challenge card:

I colored Hedgehog Flower with Copic markers,  then cut it out and layered it with dies from Pink & Main.  

I used digital papers from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  These are the Spring Fling papers. I used them on each layer of the card, and also to create the die cut flowers.  Dies used are from Queen & Company. I decorated them up with some gems from Pinkfresh Studios. 

I hope you enjoy Hedgehog Flower.  I'd love to see what you create! 

Jam Jars, Embellished -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's March 1, and that means it's time for a new challenge in the All Dressed Up Digital Stamps Facebook group. This month's theme is Embellish It.  The challenge runs all month. You must use an All Dressed Up Stamps image on your project.  There are so many wonderful images found here. 

For the embellish it challenge, I used a portion of the image, Jam Jars.  I am very fond of this image, and usually color up all 3 of the Jam Jars.   However, I wanted to make a mini slim card, so chose to use only 1 of the Jam Jars. Here's my card for the challenge:

I colored Jam Jars with Copic markers, then fussy cut it out.  The mini slimline sized die is from Pinkfresh Studios, as is the sentiment.  The circle die (cut in 1/2), is from Crafter's Compansion. I used a couple of dewdrops from my stash in the center of the flowers. 

I hope you can join our Embellish It challenge this month! I'd love to see what you create!
