Layered Circles

Today's card is another one of my fabulous $2 cards! Somehow I used all the of pink and purple DSP from the Blooms and Bliss DSP pack, but left all the blue and green DSP. So I looked on Pinterest for some interest design ideas of a DSP focus and found a great idea using nested circles. I love the pattern play and coordination of this card. So cute!

Happy Easter

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin' Stampin' Inkspriation. The challenge was to create an Easter card. I don't make many Easter cards, but I knew I wanted to do something cute and fun. And then I stumbled upon the bunny butt card on Pinterest. Perfect! I pulled out a ton of dies and started picking out the right shapes and sizes to make my own bunny butt. My only hangup happened when I realized that I white feet are the smallest size oval I own. Darn! I just had to fussy cut the Blushing Bride inserts.

Blooms and Sparkles

Today’s card features one of my newer stamp sets Blooms and Wishes. I haven't used this one as much as I would have liked. For this card, I decided to create a fun faux layered stamped blooms image as my focal point. From there I added a layer of Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer Paper (so in love with this paper!) and Blooms and Bliss DSP. A simple card, but I love all the patterns and colors.

Jar of Heart Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Valentine's Day or love card. I don't send out Valentine's Day cards, so I decided to make a more generic love card. I love how thus one turned out. I stamped the jar onto my piece of white and also onto the DSP. I then die the DSP to "fill" the jars. Hint: cut down the die cut DSP just a bit so that it fills the jar instead of covering it up. I then stamped the steams and created my heart flowers. Such a pretty card!

Soft Flowers and Woodgrain

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using one of our favorite products. Even though it's not my usual style, I'm still in love with the Birthday Blooms stamp set.

 

For this card, I decided to play with layers and pattern paper. I embossed half of my cardstock, then added a strip of Blooms and Bliss DSP. From there I made a fun little tag with more pattern paper, stamps, and a few accessories. Such a nice and soft card.

  • Accessories: Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon; Bow Paper Clips

October DSP Special!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using one of the DSP packs on special. For the month of October, buy three packs of qualifying paper packs and get one free! I love when SU runs this once a year deal. It's great to build up your pattern paper stack and save a bit of money. The list of qualifying paper packs are a mix of annual and Holiday catalog offerings:

141663      Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper
141645      Moroccan Designer Series Paper
141660      Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper
141654      Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper
141630      Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper
141640      By the Shore Designer Series Paper
141986      Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper
141981       Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper

For my card, I focused on the Blooms and Bliss DSP. I love the pinks and purples for half the pack and the blues and greens for the other half of the pack. Along with using the beautiful patterned paper, I also tried out a new-to-me technique: aluminum foil embossing! It was so easy and makes a nice addition to the card.
