SugarPea Designs SPDSS25 and The Challenge #32

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  Today I'm sharing a card I made for two challenges!  One of the challenges is the SugarPea Designs sketch challenge and the other is a theme challenge over at The Challenge.

I used the sweet little bear from the Teacher's Pet clear stamp set from SugarPea Designs.  This set is so perfect for teacher cards and also end-of-the-year school cards for your kiddos!   I colored the image with copics and colored pencils.  I followed the SPDSS25 sketch for my layout and used some polka-dot papers since our theme challenge this week at The Challenge is polka dots!   

 

I hope you find time to play along in both challenges!  

You can find the links to the DT's fabulous projects over on the SugarPea Designs Blog and at The Challenge!

 

  
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have an amazing day.

Hugs, Anita

Your Next Stamp - April Feature Day

Good morning everyone!  Today is Feature Day over on the Your Next Stamp Blog, which means that the team is sharing some new samples featuring the YNS stamps and dies.

The DT theme this month was to make a card or project that wasn't A2, so I used my dies to make a circle-shaped card.  This sweet little penguin is from the Waddles - Happy Brr-thday! clear stamp set.  I colored him with copics and then cut him out using the coordinating Waddles - Happy Brr-thday! Die Set.  I used the Circles Die Set and stamped the sentiment on the banner from the Whatknot Seasons Die Set.  I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the balloon and then added a few Glittered Gumdrops.  

 

Be sure to stop by the Your Next Stamp Blog to see what the rest of the DT is sharing today.  If you leave a comment on the YNS Blog you may be the lucky winner of a stamp set of your choice!

Thank you for stopping by!

The Challenge #31

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  We have a new challenge that's starting today over at The Challenge.  We have an inspiration challenge this week and here's our inspiration photo:

Beautiful inspiration, right?  I decided to have some fun with my card and used these cute little puppies.

  
I used the adorable Hot Diggity Dog clear stamp set from SugarPea Designs.  This set has so many cute images and perfect sentiments!  I colored the puppies with copics.  I also used the SugarCuts - Heart Journal Card and the SugarCuts - Notched Heart Journal Card dies.  Both of these dies are available at SugarPea Designs.
