Teddy Bear Greetings

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a baby card. I decided to modify a old card that I made. I love the idea of of quilt cards, but wanted to put a different spin on it. So I left out a row of the quilt to put a cute teddy bear and sentiment in the middle. I really really really love this design!!! Such a cute card.

Ride from the Flower Market

Today's challenge was to use two of my current favorite colors. I am loving Fresh Fig and Island Indigo and they look amazing together! I stamped the back end of the bicycle and added some pretty flowers. I also snuck in a few fireflies from the Jar of Love stamp set. I mounted my bicycle on a piece of Fresh Fig and went to dig for some DSP. In my scrap stash, I had this piece of fun dotted DSP from the Scenic Sayings Paper Stack (retired). Perfect pattern to show off my bicycle but not compete with it.

Baby Quilt

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to make a baby card. My sister is due in May with her first baby, a boy, so of course I had to make a great card for her. I loved making quilt card during Christmastime, but they do take so long. Even so, I decided to try it again. Instead of paper paper, I decorated each square with an image from the Bookcase Builder stamp set. I love how these cards turned out. So cute!

 

A variation using my favorite two colors: Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry

Bookcase Memories

I did it! I made a card with every single one of my currently owned stamps sets! Today’s card was featured at my March Stamp Club. I wanted to use my Bookcase Builder stamp set to create a more masculine card. Changing up the colors really helps! I featuring Calypso Coral, Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim, and Early Espresso. After picking colors, I had a ton of fun building my bookcase. The ladies in stamp club took my idea and ran with the design creating lots of differently styled bookcases. I love seeing what they came up with!

Bookcase for Baby

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card that CASEd a card from the Occasions Catalog. I chose to copy this card:

 

I love love love this stamp set! So many different options to create different bookcases. I chose to change up some of the objects to make it a baby card. I also substituted some DSP for the Hardwood stamp. Once I figured out my changes, I filled my bookshelves with a variety of objects. I love how it turned out!
