Today’s card is a variation on a card that I made during my March Birthday Celebration. I mixed up the pattern paper using scraps from the paper pack. Instead of a flower, I decided to attach a fun ice cream cone instead.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Birthday card. I had fun recreating a card I saw from the Artisan Team. Guess I'm digging Peekaboo Peach right now...

Today’s card is my birthday card. Okay, well it's a birthday card and it's my birthday, so I guess it's my birthday card. It's a simple card featuring some of the remaining scraps from the Festive Birthday pack. I layered on some fun colors and patterns. From there, I stamped a simple sentiment and added a punched flower. Easy peasy!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the technique below.
For my card, I knew I wanted to keep a fairly monochromatic color palette and use my dragonflies. I started with making my base. There are a few ways to achieve the bokeh effect. I chose to use the sponging and craft ink method. I have also seen a watercolor method and a water drop method. Search YouTube for some great tutorials.
I sponged Night of Navy, Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, and Pool Party onto a piece of white cardstock. From there, I die cut some different size circles into a piece of acetate to create a template. I then stenciled on craft white ink to soften the colors and create the bokeh effect. From there it was just a matter of deciding which dragonfly to use and picking a sentiment. I went with the fun multiple dragonflies and jazzed it up with a bit of Wink of Stella (hard to see in photo). For the sentiment, I pulled out my SAB stamp set Designer Tee. This little sentiment fir perfectly in my square Stitched Shapes Framelits. I added a layered piece of Island Indigo to give it some depth. Loving this card!
I ran out of time this past weekend to get a card sketch card posted for Monday's SSINK challenge. So instead of being a design team member, I'm going to participate in the challenge today. Click on the sketch to play along with us! Here's the sketch we were given:
And here's the card I came up with! I decided to play with patterns and stamping for this card. The new SAB paper Carried Away is one of my favorites! I love the great color combinations and patterns. So I took three patterns from that pack for the circles and the banner. I then added a simple sentiment, but jazzed it up by using tone on tone stamping to create my own patterned background. Before I glued everything down, I decided the background needed a bit more. Enter the Playful Backgrounds stamp set. A few stamps of these fun circles completed my card.

Using the products listed above and some cardstock and ink, I created this fun dragonfly card. The dragonfly itself is two layers. The bottom layer is the sold dragonfly image stamped using the baby wipe technique to create a fun tie-dye feel. the top layer is the detailed dragonfly die cut from vellum. I also added a layer of Wink of Stella on the vellum to give a bit of sparkle and shine. Finally I topped my dragonfly with a few rhinestones.

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.
