Country Girl -- For All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, crafty cardmakers, and happy April!  I hope spring is well underway where you live.

Today is a new month, and a new challenge in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group. It was from today to April 30.  This month, the theme is"Florals".  The florals can be in the image or added to the project.

I love the All Dressed Up Stamps image, Country Girl. Since she has flowers on and around her, I thought it would fit the 'Florals' theme very well.

Here's my version of Country Girl:

Flowers and more flowers.  Isn't Country Girl so very cute?!?

I colored Country Girl with Copic markers. I found the pink floral paper in a 6x6 pad by Newton's Nook. All the dies used on this card are by Taylored Expressions. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions also. 

I hope you can join us this month for the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook challenge!  I'd love to see what you create! 

Garden Wheelbarrow -- A New Release at All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, crafty friends!   I hope you are enjoying March.  

Today is New Release day at All Dressed Up Stamps.  There are 3 new releases this month, and the talented design team has inspiration for you in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group and on the ADU Challenge blog. 

I had the pleasure of designing with the digital stamp, Garden Wheelbarrow.   I couldn't help myself.  I love to color rusty things:

I colored Garden Wheelbarrow with Copic markers.  I love  all the pretty flowers in this wheelbarrow! 

I stamped the sentiment with a stamp set from Hero Arts.  The pretty spring papers are from Newton's Nook.  I cut the Garden Wheelbarrow image out with double stitched dies from The Scrappimg Cottage.  The watering can die is by Crafter's Companion.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Always Time for a Cuddle

 Hello blog friends, and happy March!  On the first day of the month, a new challenge starts in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group.  That's today!  The theme this month is "for a child".  There are lots of great All Dressed Up images that will fit this theme.  Create with one anyway you want, and join the challenge!

For this month's "for a child" challenge, I used the darling image, 'Always Time for a Cuddle':

 I used Copic markers and Olo markers to color up this image.  Then I used wide oval dies from Spellbinders to cut out the image and back it.  I stenciled the paw prints on the backing oval.  The Love sentiment is a die from Kat Scrappiness.  I did a little paper piecing on it,  And, that's my simple 'For a Child' card.  

I hope to see you entered in the challenge!

Love Heart -- An All Dressed Up Stamps new release

 Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog!  Today, the All Dressed Up Stamps design team member are showcasing this month's New Releases.  There are 3 of them.  They are all found in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop. 

I had the delightful experience of being able to design with new release image, Love Heart:

Isn't she a super sweet image?  I colored Love Heart with a combination of Copic and Olo markers. This is a mini slim sized card.  The pink hearts paper is from AMB Illustrations.  I used a set of mini slim dies from Trinity Stamps to frame the Love Heart image and add the hearts paper layer.  The small stitched hearts are part of a die set from Close To My Heart. The sentiment is from my stash.

Thanks for the visit!  Stop by the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Group and the ADU Blog for more inspiration and challenges to enter!

I'd like to enter this in the following challenge:

Passion for Markers -- die or punches (used a few dies on this)

Paws Down -- All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello, and happy February!  It's been brutally cold for parts of January, so February makes me feel like we're closer to spring.

February 1st, that also means a new challenge is starting in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group. The theme this month is Cuteness Overload, and the challenge runs the month of February.  You even get an extra day this month!

When searching for an image to color up for this challenge, I remembered Winter Pups.  I took one of the 3 images in the Winter Pups set, colored him up with Copic markers, and created this:

After coloring up the Winter Pup, I fussy cut him.  Looking through my heart shaped cutting dies, I found several that I thought I could combine to make a heart-shaped card.  The heart dies are from Spellbinders. 

I hope you can join this month's Facebook challenge.  There are many, many images in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop that will work wonderfully for the challenge.  I'll be looking for your cute entries!
