Copper Birthday

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a birthday card. I always need great birthday cards for my personal card stash. For this card, I played off of a fun color combo of Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, and Copper. I built my cake and added a heat embossed banner. I repeated the copper with a small copper foil banner sticking out from behind the cake. Simple card, but I love it!

I Think I Can

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using one of the new Sale-a-Bration stamp sets. For my preorder, I knew I had to have the Designer Tee Stamp Set. It has the absolute cutest sayings and stamps. My favorite is the cute little affirmation train. This would be the perfect card for kids or adults alike. I went a little crazy layering some fun DSP from three different packs. As a finishing touch, I colored the clouds with Wink of Stella. You can't see from the picture, but I guarantee the shine comes through in person.

  • Stamps: Designer Tee
  • Inks: Mint Macaron
  • Cardstock: Carried Away DSP; A Little Foxy DSP; 2015-2017 In Color DSP; Peekaboo Peach; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Peekaboo Peach Ribbon; Wink of Stella

I chose to CASE this great card from Diana Eichfeld. I always love her cards. She has great attention to the little details in card making! For my CASE, I went a bit more simple, but kept the idea of the layout and layering of DSP. Apparently, I am really digging the purple and blue color combo lately. I've made four different cards using varying shades of purple and blue just this week!

Trio of Bears

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a celebration card. Being a part of a parent group, there's always someone having a baby. This card is perfect for the new addition to the family. I took the same basic design as my Trio of Beasties card (coming on Monday) and replaced the beasties with bears. SU doesn't have any current baby DSP, but the A Little Foxy DSP is a perfect mix of patterns to use for a card like this. Overall, a super cute little card!

I also made a variation using some retired colors and paper as a make n take for my August crop day.

A Simple Fox

Tomorrow's the day! The launch of the Holiday Catalog is less than 24 hours away. Here's your last sneak peek video...

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a kid's card. I immediately went to the cute Foxy Friends stamp set. I decided to go super simple with a little fox and some layered papers. I added an embossed piece of Smoky Slate to give more texture. I didn't add a sentiment on the outside but will be adding a Happy Birthday inside for an upcoming 1st birthday card.
