PMS Freebie Friday - Dessert

Did you know that every Friday Paper Makeup Stamps gives a FREE Digi Word Art image to anyone who visits the blog? Who doesn't like FREE? :o)  I finally had a chance to get a card done ahead of time for the Freebie Friday post and what a fun quote we have this week.


I used the FREE quote plus the taller pumpkin from the new Color it Autumn Digi set. I opened the word art in my publisher program and sized it to what I needed for my card. Then I inserted white box with no outline to cover the 'u' in the word 'but'. Then I opened the pumpkin image in the same document and resized it to fit over the 'u'. I printed it on some pattern paper I had in my stash and colored it with some orange Copic markers.

I used some fun Thanksgiving word paper I picked up at Hobby Lobby. And I love the pumpkin ribbon, also found at Hobby Lobby.

Now go grab your FREE digi word art and show me what you create with it.

Ready for Coffee and Winter...

I am always ready for coffee and after the hot muggy weather we've been having, I am soooo ready for winter. So here are a couple of cards with my favorite things.


I just adore Rhubarb with her little cup of java goodness. I used some colors I don't normally use for this one. I like the teal and bright golden yellow together on her mug. I colored her with W1, W3 & W5.
Supplies: Rhubarb's Coffee digi stamp {Sweet N Sassy}, Hello Friend from Summer Harvest {Gina K}, Cosmo Cricket paper, red & yellow card stock, & baker's twine

My favorite thing about winter...Sweaters! I love wear soft cozy sweaters. I actually was making this for one of the Gina K release challenges the other week and then realized after it was done that I did not follow the instructions correctly. You were only supposed to use one stamp set and I used two. Oh well, I still love how it turned out.
Supplies: Holiday Greetings & Warm and Wonderful {Gina K}, K&Company paper, chocolate card stock, snowflake charm, cotton twine, ribbon

If you haven't already, make sure you check out the PMS Digi Makeover Challenge for this week. If you participate you could win some free digital images from Paper Makeup Stamps.

PMS Dig Makeover Challenge #4

This week our challenge for the Paper Makeup Digital Makeover is to resize your digital image. I would have to say this is the top reason I love digital images. Being able to resize them, makes them so flexible. I made two similar cards to show you some of the cool things you can do with resizing. The cards are simple so you can see the technique better.

For my first card I resized the cute little high five girl from the Color Kids collection to make her bigger. Then I took the word art "way 2 go" and shrunk it down to fit in the painting with her hand prints. I rotated it to make it face her.


For my second card I made the cute high five girl from the Color Kids collection the same size as above. Then I took the fairy silhouette, Sprout, and shrunk it down to fit on her shirt.


Now it is your turn to try this fun challenge. Go find one or more of your favorite digital images and play along with us. You have a chance to win some FREE digital images. Get all the details here.

Card size for both cards is 5" x 6 1/4".
