It was fun to make this DT card for the first-of-the-month challenge at QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? This card features a fun-loving frog and punny sentiment digis from Eureka Stamps, some basic coloring supplies, and treasures from my stash.

Note- The lines of stamps on the StampOnIt website have recently been sold. The new owners seem great, and they are working quickly to get the QKR Stampede, Eureka and other stamp lines transferred to the new site. I just checked and the two digis I used are not yet added to the inventory but should be soon. So check back regularly to see these and all the other treasures waiting for you there!

Supplies: 

·   Card Base an envelope from a boxed set of Birthday cards  found at Goodwill

·   Digi- Eureka Digital Stamp (Jumping Frog) Available soon at  StampOnIt

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- Eureka Digital Stamp (Hoppy Birthday) Available soon at StampOnIt

·   Inside Sentiment- from original boxed card

I created this card to enter into the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge, using several free digis plus items from my stash. I love how it turned out! 

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz Tuesday Color (my card features all of the colors in the inspiration photo, plus meets the optional twist- Brush begins with the Letter B), Outlaws Festive Friday (my favorite color combo is radiant pastels that shine through the atmosphere to create a rainbow), Park Hopping-My Happy Place (we live a short distance from Noahs Ark, the largest waterpark in the USA. I’ve added a photo to show the 70-acre expanse of this park. Since a rainbow plays a key role in the bible story of Noah, it is a perfect fit for this challenge), and Path Of Positivity Challene-Use a Mood Board (a rainbow provides a perfect selection of pastel colors.)  

Supplies: 

·   Rainbow Digi- Freebie from cornishkat.blogspot.com 2-23-2018 (HERE)

This final card fits into several challenges, including wecraftcards Forum, where the current theme is movies. The host selected Monsters Inc. asking that we create one or more cards that feature these four colors-teal, purple, green, and pink. The colorful Easter card is also a good fit for The Butterfly Challenge (it features three of the required colors- lavender, soft mint, and soft blue. And one theme- a butterfly), and Dis Digis “Things with Wings and/or Tails (the bunny is sitting comfortably on its fluffy tail, and the butterfly has lovely wings.)

Supplies: 

·   Easter Bunny Image- from a retired Stampin’ Up! Set.

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
