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!

I have the pleasure this month of being able to create with the darling Watering Time digital image. Here she is:

I colored Watering Time with Copic markers, then used a set of dies from Spellbinders Paper Arts to create the shaped card. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

You're the Friend, featuring new things are We Are 3 Digital Shop

 Happy Easter to all those who celebrate it!  We still have a lot of snow on the ground, so it doesn't "feel" much like Easter, but certainly we will celebrate the resurrection, no matter what Mother Nature says.

We Are 3 Digital Shop recently releases some new products.  There are 2 new paper packs and a new sentiment set. I tried to showcase them on this card:

The gingham papers (both mint and pink) and the pink layered in the die cuts are from the Spring Fling papers.  The sentiment, part of the Bookmark Thoughts sentiment set, has some wonderful sentiments in the set.  It is printed on a paper from the newly released Stained Glass papers.

I used dies from Crafter's Companion to create this card  The gingham layer is inked with a Catherine Pooler ink. 

Stop by We Are 3 Digital Shop to see all the wonderful goodies there. 

Springtime! For All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello!  Thanks for stopping by. It's April 1, so a new challenge starts today in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group -- no fooling! This month's theme is Die cuts &/or Punches.  You can have fun with that one! There are many, many darling images to choose from in the ADU Etsy Shop.

I am longing for spring, but Mother Nature is pulling an April Fool's joke on us today.  We have 8 fresh inches of snow, and it's still coming down.  My wish for warmer weather and warm sunshine compelled me to use the image For You on my card for this month's challenge.  Isn't she adorable?

Since the challenge theme is Die cuts/& or punches.  I used multiple die cuts on this card.  I die cut the For You image, then cut the 2 frames (all Lawn Fawn dies).  The cute pink flowers were on my desk left over from another card I made.  They are by Concord & Ninth.  I used some dew drops in the centers of the flowers.

I hope you can join us this month in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group!

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! 

Valentine's Girl -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 Twice a  month, All Dressed Up Stamps DT members feature the new releases.  Today is one of those days.  Fun!! This month's new releases have a Valentine's feel for them, but definitely can be used for other occasions.  I made a "just because" type card with the New Releases, Valentine's Girl. Here she is!!

I colored Valentine's Girl with Copic markers, then used a set of large heart dies I have to construct the card and layer up Valentine's Girl.  The background paper is by We Are 3 Digital Shop. It is the Romantic Hearts paper. I heat embossed the sentiment, used a die from Pink & Main to cut it out, cut out another old heart die for the embellishment, and the card was done.
