Monochromatic Spring Card

This is a card I made for two challenges.  The first is a monochromatic card using ribbon for Really Reasonable Ribbon and the second is to make a Spring card for Just Some Lines.   This card uses a Just Some Lines image and a bow made of beautiful ribbon.  The flower is colored with Copic pens and has a yellow pearl center.

Favorite Color Combo

I have a number of favorite color combinations, but I think Black/White with Red is my favorite of all.  Here I have made a little card using that color scheme.  The cute little bird image is from Just Some Lines.  They are having a challenge of using your favorite color combo. 

This card has a double opening.  It opens from the left and then from the right to reveal the sentiment inside.  A small black and red bow finishes the card.

Just Some Lines

Just Some Lines Team is taking a summer break and this is the last challenge for a while.  It will end in five days.  So dig through your JSL images and enter this week.  You can create anything as long as you use a JSL image.  Here is my inspiration for the challenge.

I used a SPARK, a piece of paper  that Carolyn Dube created, that was sent to me for inspiration I cut it apart and since it was so colorful and reminded me of summer, I made a summer break card.  This is what I hope to do in the next couple of days if it would stop raining.  if not,  I may be able to go swimming in my back yard soon.

 

I colored my digi with Copic markers and added some embellishments I found in my stash.

 

Pull out your JSL images and enter soon.

Just Some Line's Challenge

Just Some Lines is continuing with "Anything Goes" as the challenge theme. The only requirement is to use a Just Some Lines digital. I am continuing to make patriotic cards for July 4th. These will be sent to the military.

Just Some Lines Challenge

Just Some Lines is having their "Anything Goes" challenge and I am pushing the calendar just a little by making a patriotic card.  I have so much red, white and blue designer paper and I want to use some of it up; therefore, I will make a couple of patriotic cards for my inspiration.  Also, I have a purpose for these cards.  They will be sent to some military who are serving abroad.

Just Some Lines' Challenge

Just Some Lines is having "Anything Goes" as the theme for a while.  You can create anything you wish with any theme as long as your are using a Just Some Lines image.  I really like this digi of a boy fishing.  It would be prefect for a Father's Day card.  I colored the image with Copic markers.   I used the polka dot background to emphasize the childish feel to the card.  I can remember watch the fish coming right up to my line, but never biting. 

Drop on over to the Just Some Lines website and enter their challenge.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Drunken Stampers is having another challenge.  This time the theme is My Best Friend's Wedding.  My card uses an image from Just Some Lines and a diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs.  All the themes for the past couple of months have been movies.

If you have a chance visit the blog and join the challenge.

Just a Little Moo

Here is a little Moo  I made for Moo Mania and Just Some Lines' challenges.  Moo Mania is having "Insects" as the theme this week and Just Some Lines is having "Anything Goes".  My little butterfly is from Just Some Lines. This tiny piece could also be used as a piece for my challenge "It's Natural".

If you have a chance enter any or all of the above challenges.  I used a piece of the Spark background mentioned in the previous post,

JSL's Mother Day Challenge

Just Some Lines is now having a challenge with the theme "Mother's Day"  Let's see your best Mother's Day cards.  This card has a childish feel to it, a  perfect for Mother's Day.  Come over to the Just Some Lines'  site and get into the fun.

Just Some Lines' Challenge

Just Some Lines now has a new challenge theme, "Mother's Day".  I created this card using another part of the art journal page shown in the previous post.  At first I wasn't sure I really liked my art page, but after cutting it into pieces I am really pleased.  I love it as a background on this card.  The green  is just a piece of cardstock I put behind the card so you can see the base card. 

The background is watercolor paper so it is a little on the heavy side, but I don't think it is too heavy too use.  The image is Just Some Lines' Love Roses.  They are colored with Copic markers.  In the corner I put the word "Love" with the letters at a slight angle.

Don't forget to come over to Just Some Lines and enter your Mother's Day project.

Tag

I just love making tags.  This one was made for Just Some Lines' "Earth Day" challenge reminder.   I used one of Just Some Lines' new images for this one and added some earthly embellishments on top of a flowered piece of designer cardstock. Do give the tag some recycling I used the string that comes with the tag.  In this case I used instead of throw away!

Drunken Sltampers Challenge

Drunken Stampers has just started its challenge "Up"  I used a Just Some Lines image for my card.  This little lady is having trouble holding her balloons; they just keep going up..  Jump over to the Drunken Stampers' site and join in on the challenge fun.

Here is the challenge announcement.

 

Just Some Lines' Challenge

Just Some Lines has an Earth Day challenge going on.   Everyone should drop by and submit an entry.  I added a religious slant to the challenge so I could send my card to some one who needed a friendly reminder.

First of all, I made my  background using my Gelli Plate. 

Then I created my card with a piece of it and used Just Some Lines' tulip image.

 

 

 

JSL is Having "Child's Play"

Just Some Lines is having "Child's Play" as the theme for their challenge.  This is the second week of the challenge so you still have a week to enter.  For my card I went with the idea that children like to play with their pet.  Sometimes though the animal is not thrilled with being carried around.

My image is colored with Copic markers and is placed on a page from an old book.  Behind the image is a couple of layers of cardstock-solid and printed.  Can you see this little girl asking her Mom if she can play with her kitty. She loves her kitty, but the kitty doesn't love her at the moment!

 

I am also entering this card at CDAC;s Anything Goes challenge.

Bunnies and Chicks

"Bunnies and Chicks" is the theme for Just Some Lines' challenge for the next two weeks.  This is my all-time favorite image from Just Some Lines.  Isn't this the cutest little rabbit?  I just love his ears. He has a bouquet of flowers and he stands in the middle of Easter eggs.  For my background I did just a little color blocking on designer paper of eggs.

Reminder for Just Some Lines Challenge

This is just a little reminder that Just Some Lines is having a challenge with the theme "Tag".  So easy to enter. Do drop over and put in an entry.  Here is my little inspiration using one of the cupcake images which I colored with Copic markers..

I am also entering this in CDAC's "Anything Goes" challenge. 

Just Some Lines' Challenge

Just Some Lines is having one of my favorite challenges and that is "Make a Tag".  There are so many possibilities in making a tag.  Here is my inspiration for the challenge.

I did something a little different for my background.  It just happened that I had a page from a magazine sitting beside me.  I had torn it out to use on another project.  I thought the picture of flowers would make the perfect background for this doggie with a hat of flowers.  The image, of course, is from Just Some Lines  Coloring was done with Copic markers and the sentiment is computer generated.

Just Some Lines' "Love" Challenge

Just Some Lines' second week of "love" challenge is this week.  If you haven't entered, drop in at their site and take part.

My image is Just Some Lines' Corner Flower.  I used Copic markers to color the image and tore around the image.  As added embellsihment I added the definition of "love" and a heart made with a punch.

Second Week of "You Have My Heart"

We are still in the heart mode here at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.  We have gotten a number of entries so far, but would like to have yours if you haven't entered yet.  Just scroll down until you find the challenge.   Here is the Design Team's take on the challenge.

Vicki

This  little card was made using Just Some Lines image "emo will catch  you"  This is such a fun image.  I used a border punch down the right side, designer cardstock on the background mat. and  used the word "LOVE" from some embellishments I had.  Setting off the image is a heart cut from cardstock with a punch.

 

Also, if you have a chance, drop by the Just Some Lines site because their challenge this week deals with the heart also.   I accidently left off Petra's sample last week so both of hers is below.

 

Michele

The digital images from "Just Some Lines" are truly darling. I love this little girl chasing butterflies! I also love hearts and valentines so this is a great challenge. I hope you will join the fun.

Sharon

My card for this week uses a new Valentine image from Angie Delarie along with patterned papers from Bo Bunny which I have distressed. I also added a die cut flower, lace, charms and other embellishments!

 

Petra

This sweet little lady is an image from Just some Lines and I just love her and her wonderful balloon. The image is layered on lots of patterend paper from My Mind's Eye, I did some machine stitching to give it a bit more depth and added some string, charm and a little half-pearl.

Petra

These two are so sweet together! Another adorable digi samp from Just Some Lines. I coloured the image with Copics and colouring pencils and layered it on lots and lots of EchoPark patterend paper. Some stitching, a little bit of twine, slightly distressed edges and a little wooden heart adorn the card

 

Valerie

Thanks for looking.

For my One Layer Card I am using Hearts in a Vase offered as a freebie on the blog of our sponsor Just Some Lines. I really like to keep the cards simple to let their designs take the spotlight. Here I printed on the card, layered the hearts, did some pencil rubbing and added a touch of glitter. Do join in the challenge, I really enjoy to see all the fabulous creations you share.

Challenge #53 - "You Have My Heart"

Valentine's Day is almost here so we thought you would want to do something dealing with the heart.  Your creation does not have to be a Valentine as such, but it must deal with the heart in some way.  Of course, it doesn't hurt to be romantic this time of year.

Vicki

This little card uses a Bird Couple image from Just Some Lines.  The two wedding birds are colored with watercolor pencils.  The image is then placed on the Waltzing Matilda die from Cheery Lynn Designs.  In the two upper corner are two corner dies from CLD.  Finishing off the card is a flower sticker.

Krisha

I chose Emo I will Catch You from Just Some Lines.  Such a cute and playful digi image, colored with markers then fussy cut out.  Quilted heart was made with snippets and the sentiment was taken from my Granddaughter's stash!

Michele

Here is a sweet little girl digital image from "Just Some Lines" and she is bringing Valentine wishes. I colored her with pencils and laid her out on a heart doily with decorative papers. She is definitely getting me in the mood for Valentine's Day and making many more cards with heart themes! I hope you'll join the fun.

 

Sharon

I just love the "Emo" Character from Just Some Lines - she's so cute!! I've made this tag with Distress Stains and coloured Emo to match, added some lettering, rubber stamped swirl and a sheer ribbon to the top!

 

 

Valerie

My tag has been made from distressed and gessoed cardboard.
 

 

Rene

I have used Emo Amber and the Heart Balloon to create my CAS card. I added some fine-liner hearts to the red base card. The colouring was done with my pencils and is really accents of colour. I hope that it conveys the theme and inspires many of you to come and join us!

I used Wedded Bliss (http://justsomelines.com/shop/wedded-bliss-birds-p-666.html), printed directly onto the DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits. I added some glitter and a sticker sentiment.
