Washi Celebration

3.png

Today’s card features just a few rolls from my washi tape collection. I have so much washi and only use it in my planner spreads. But I pulled some pretty ones out and created my own background piece for this simple card.

Celebrate This March

Some days you don’t want to stamp on your card, and that’s okay. For today’s card, I simply die cut a sentiment and layered on some fun pattern paper pieces. This card took all of 5 mintues to create, but it still looks great.

CASEing Diana

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from fellow Design Team Member Diana Eichfeld. I love Diana's clean style and use of Designer Series Paper. For this card, I CASEd a simple and yet beautiful Petal Promenade card. See her card here! I loved her focus on the DSP with an added bit of shine. So I decided to create my own using my current favorite paper stack: Garden Impressions. Once I picked a beautiful paper pattern, I pulled coordinating cardstock and this beautiful Blushing Bride Shimmer ribbon to tie everything together.

Folded Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a fabulous flowers card. Instead of stamping with flowers, I decided to focus on some of our gorgeous floral DSP. This particular piece is from the Cake Soiree DSP pack. I featured this card at April's stamp club where we scored and folded to create this amazing double pleated fold. For the measurements and tutorial, check out Julie @ The Way We Stamp.

As a bonus, you are left with four great triangles from cutting the DSP. I used those triangles to make a bonus card! All the ladies at stamp club picked different DSP and really made this card their own. Love it!

Photos of You

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a celebrations card.  I challenged myself to make a card using a ton of DSP and no stamping. And look what I did! I die cut some great DSP squares, fussy cut three cameras, and die cut the "celebrate you." After laying out my card, I went back and added a piece of coordinating ribbon to give more texture and layers. Love this festive card.

I decided to play with layering images from the Amazing You stamp set. After setting down my layer of stamped images, I stamped another flower, colored it with the Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends, and cut it out to add some dimension. Finally I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots to the card.

Painted Celebration

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our favorite Sale-a-Bration item. For my card, I used two! As soon as I saw the SAB brochure, I knew that I needed to own the Amazing You Stamp Set and Celebrate You Thinlits immediately. They are cute on their own, but together they create such a lovely card. I started with my small piece of Whisper White and stamped some fun candles and sprinkles. I die the "celebrate" and then stamped the "let's" to to my placement correct. I layered the piece onto some Melon Mambo cardstock before layering onto some truly gorgeous paper from the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but the paper features strips of gold foil. This card is super shiny!

Celebrate You!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card full of sparkle and shine.

Who has completely fan-girled over the new Occasions Catalog? I totally have! The Picture Perfect Suite immediately caught my eye! Today's card is just full of fun and color! In addition to the stamp set and paper from the Picture Perfect Suite, I added some Lemon Lime Twist Glimmer Paper and the Celebrate You Thinlits (SAB catalog). I can't wait to make more cards using this great paper stack.
