PIP Challenge 2622

 

 Ram Stamps

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Rachelle Anne Miller Designs.  I would like to thank Rachelle for sponsoring our challenge.  My card this week features Rachelle's Birthday Mouse image.

 

I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock then colored it using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly blended some wisteria ink around my colored image to soften the white spaces then layering and adding brads.  I then added the image panel to a dry embossed card using a dusty Cuttlebug© birthday embossing folder and my Big Shot© before sponging wisteria ink twice around the edges.  The final touches were ribbon from my stash and some stardust stickles to highlight parts of the image.

Woodblock Wednesday May 2026 Edition

 

 Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new Woodblock Wednesday where we dust off those old wooden block stamps and show them some love.  My card today features one of my favorite House Mouse stamps with the matching wood block saying.  I haven't used my House Mouse stamps in a long time.  I've collected some, just haven't used them.....yet. In fact, it's so old the stamp block still says ©Stampa Rosa on it.  Spellbinders now holds the copyright for the House Mouse line.

 

My card is stamped using memento tuxedo black ink and colored using my old prismacolor markers before layering and adding brads.  The card is embossed using an old Cuttlebug© snowflake embossing folder with my Big Shot©.  The only embellishments I added was a clear 3D glaze pen for the bows before adding stardust stickles to highlight.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Sunbird Spark.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship of our challenge.  My card today uses their My Favorite Chapter digital stamp set.  I love this set so much.

 

I started out by combining the images, along with a Dr. Seuss saying, in Photoshop© before printing it out and coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered the image panel and added some faux brads.  The final touches were some tiny die cut flower buds and stems adhered using glossy accents.

Crystal Gnomes

 

 

Hello and welcome.  I was recently invited to join the Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog design team which I accepted.  So today I'd like to share with you my first project, a card, I've made using some images from Conjurer of Dreams.  I've had some of these images for a while and just hadn't used them yet.

 

I started out by combining the following COD image sets: Black Silk, Crystal Tree, Prism Background, Quirky Faries, Steampunk Gnome, Summer Gnome, Owl Wizard Clipart, Lantern Glow Clipart,Fantasy Dragonfly,and Garden Gnomes.  I then pulled a purple bow from my digital stash and added that into the bottom left corner.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Welcome Spring

 

 

Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you some ATC's I made for the Conjurer of Dreams April ATC challenge.  The challenge ends on the 29th so there's still time for you to enter.

 

I started out by separating, the free ATC sheet,  then combining the images with the Anne of Green Gables set.  Once I had everything combined, I printed out the ATC's before layering on scrap card stock.  For the embellishments, I die cut a lot of tulip stems and flower stems (now retired) before die cutting a bunch of flower buds.  I then finished assembling my ATC's by adhering the stems, and flowers, using glossy accents.  The final touch was highlighting the flower centers and parts of the background.  I'm really happy with how these turned out especially since I've been dealing with bad migraine and fibromyalgia issues again.

 Creative Worship Stamps

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Creative Worship Stamps.  I would like to thank Korin for sponsoring our challenge this week. I am using Winter Hugs for my card this week.

 

I started out by stamping my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto a white Hammermill card panel then coloring using my Ohuhu markers. I then fussy cut out a penguin and polar bear then popped them up on my card using pop dots.  I then added some crystal bling I found at Dollar Tree© before highlighting some of the panel using stickles.  My card base is stamped using Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink.  Of course, I just HAD to stamp a matching envelope. ;)
