Cupcake Birthday by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  The design team members for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (Team A and Team B) will be on summer break after this challenge and will be back on August 28, 2024.  

Both teams will participate in this four week challenge, and there will be no commenting for those who enter this challenge so that the design team members can enjoy a much deserved break. The theme is

ANYTHING GOES

My card features an adorable image called Cupcake Birthday by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.


As always, the image is coloured with Copic markers.  The sentiment is part of a sticker sheet by K and Company which I've had for well over one decade. 

If you have time, why not join our challenge?  There are some awesome images to be won.


 

That's all from me today.  I wish you all a lovely summer.  Hugs, Lori xx

Si Belle! by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi there, friends!  Today is Wednesday and so that means a brand new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (#605).  This week's theme is:

HOLIDAY TIME

(Christmas, Easter or any vacation activity)

I have always wanted to visit Paris but have not to date.  In fact, I even have some cousins there.  Perhaps one day.  I can dream, right? I chose the lovely Si Belle! image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps because her cute outfit reminded me of Paris, and the image also reminded me of how romantic Paris is.  Here is my Design Team slimline card.


I coloured that sweet image with my Copic markers, and I drew a very simple background. I added some gems to the foliage. 

You can find more fabulous inspiration by the other Design Team members here.  And, while there, why not join our challenge?  There are always some beautiful images to be won.


The Paper Shelter also has a Facebook group called The Paper Shelter Fan Group.  Check it out here.

That's all from me today.  Take care and have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Vintage Tea Cups by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings, dear friends!  It's time for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge (#603).  The theme this week is:

THREE TIMES ANYTHING

(three of the same embellishments, etc)

I love tea cups, and I have some truly gorgeous tea cups and saucers on display in my china closet and also on some of my shelves.  With that in mind, I just had to select a lovely image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps called Vintage Tea Cups.  Here is my Design Team card.


I used my trusty Copic markers to colour this lovely image.  I applied clear Wink of Stella (Zig) to the wings of the butterfly.  It's hard to see here but the wings have a pretty shimmer IRL.  The flowers are handmade and the centers are by EK Success.

If you'd like to see some more fabulous inspiration by the other Design Team members, see here.  And, while there, how about joining the challenge?  There are some beautiful images to be won.


There is also a group on Facebook called The Paper Shelter Fan Group which has more inspiration.  

That's all from me today.  Take care, and have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx
