Hostess Sets, Circles, and Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring a hostess set. A Whole Lot of Lovely is my favorite hostess set. I'm not usually drawn to the super feminine sets, but this one is lovely! I decided to use a very limited color combo and play with my markers. The end result is a nice and clean design that features some fun elements.

SSINKIC29: Lots of Hearts

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card inspired by the picture below.

I decided to play off of the multiple colored chocolate covered strawberries. I layered some similarly colored hearts. A few of the hearts I added a stamped flower for added visual appeal. Two of them were covered in Wink of Stella. From there, I layered on some neutral DSP, a Rose Red flag, and a sentiment. As a finishing touch, I added a few candy dots. Super cute Valentine's Day themed card.

• Stamps: Hello Life; A Whole Lot of Lovely (flower)
• Inks: Rose Red; Blushing Bride

Lovely Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to feature one of our favorite products. I've fallen for A Whole Lot of Lovely. It's completely not my style of stamp set and yet I was drawn to it. (Side note: I think my style might be opening up...) I went with a very simple design featuring two of the stamps from the set. I love the simple nature of this very feminine card.

Feminine Friday

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a feminine card. I tend towards bright colors and geometric designs. So here's another challenge to my usual style. I wanted to use a few of my pastel ink pads. These three are a great combination. Some paint swatches and butterflies help to fill out the card. I love how this card turned out.

DSP Feature: Pretty Petals

Today's card is being featured on Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and uses my new favorite DSP stack. Our project today was to use one of SU's Designer Series Papers. So far, I've only bought three DSP packs from the new catalog. While I love Typeset and Cherry on Top, my current favorite to use is Pretty Petals. I love the mix of colors and different floral patterns. No froo froo flowers here. Instead, we get some interesting designs and even some greenery. Love it!

The patterned paper that I used is from the same sheet. I just decided to use both sides mainly because I couldn't pick one. I saw another card on Pinterest that played with layers and cut-outs. I had to do my own version. I think the Floral Frames Framelits fit perfectly with the patterns in the paper. A nice coordinating sentiment and a few candy dots and my card is complete!
