Pearly Sparkles May Challenge ~ Let's Layer it Up

Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to the month of May (how can that be?) and a new challenge atPearly Sparkles.
This month we'd like to see you Layer it Up!  Layering is probably my favorite and most used card making technique.
Here's a card I made for my nephew's birthday using stamps and dies from Whimsy Stamps.

I'm such a fan of Whimsy Stamps.  Their cute images (easy to color) and dies never seem to disappoint.I love these mice and the cheese die made it so easy to work with layers in order to get lots of dimension.
I hope you'll play along with us month.  Just follow the link above.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Stampendous Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
Our Facebook group, Passionate Paper Creations & Friends is being sponsored by Stampendous this weekend.  Their stamps are so much fun to color.  They are full of detail but amazingly easier to color than you'd think.
For my first project I'm using Hydrangea Tin, a Fran's Rubber Stamp.
Isn't this just the sweetest image to celebrate spring?

I colored using Copic Markers and added the sentiment a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Basic Word Dies set.  The scallop rectangle and stitched rectangle mats are also from Jaded Blossom.

My second project is House Mouse Designs, Rose Play.

These mice are always a favorite and the composition of the stamps gives you a lot of guidance for coloring.

Hop on over to the PPCF facebook page and take a look.  Please join our group if you haven't already.  Then you can take advantage of the special offers available during each sponsorship.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cut it Up Challenge #250 ~ April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hi Crafty Friends,
Our latest challenge at Cut it Up Challenge Blog is so timely.  As I'm sitting here typing, I'm watching the wonderful showers nourishing our landscaping.  It's a wonderful sight in draught-ridden California.We'd like to see your interpretation of our April Showers, May Flowers theme.
Here's my project using a stamp and die set, Wildflower, from our sponsorPink & Main.

Since we received the die set with the stamp set I thought it would be fun to experiment with the idea of paper piecing.  I did eliminate one flower in order to fit the A2 size card I wanted to make.I added accents using Prisma pencils and Gamsol to blend.  I also added some Nuvo drops and Stickles.The clouds a die cuts from LaLa Land Crafts and the raindrop stencil and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom.  It's a little different way to use the stamp but with its bold stamped lines I think it works.
Thanks for taking a look.  I hope you'll play along.  Just link to the CIU link above.Remember, you must use a die cut on your project.

Passionate Paper Creations ~ The Cat's Pajamas Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a wonderful new sponsor added to our PPCF sponsor list.We are welcoming The Cat's Pajamas to our group.  Be sure to visit and join   PPCF on Facebook to take advantage of a special offer during this sponsorship.
Here's my project using the Bee My Honey set.

I inserted several of the images into Word and then arranged them to create this little scene.  I printed on Copic-friendly paper and then colored using Copic markers.  I thought it would be fun to insert the honeycomb die into the frame and add the cute little bees.  The dies are from LaLa Land Crafts.

We're so happy to have The Cat's Pajamas as a sponsor.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Artful Angel Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
Arful Angel is back as a sponsor at PPCF.  Be sure to visit and join the PPCF Facebook page for a special offer during the sponsorship.
Artful Angel is an online craft store which carries a variety of craft products from different companies.  For my project today, I chose the Hello Sunshine stamp set by Gerda Steiner.

I did some masking in order to place the sun behind this cute little bear.  The image is mounted on a gift card holder (die set from Stamp Anniething) to hide the little birthday surprise.  I added a few balloons from Jaded Bloosom's Balloons die set and some sequins.  The papers are from Doodlebug Designs and the image was colored using Copic markers.

We truly appreciate all of our wonderful sponsors at PPCF and hope you'll join us on Facebook.
