Friendly Fruit

Today’s card features one of the paper packs that I just underused. I loved the Fruit Stand DSP pack, but it always got shoved to the bottom of the stack. For this card, I decided to highlight some of the fun patterns to create an almost neutral background. I love how the patterns blend together. For my sentiment, I stamped it in Peekaboo Peach and colored in a few part with Tangerine Tango. I love the light and dark shades of oranges.

Peekaboo Cheers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using one of the new SAB items. Upon their release I immediately acquired the Glimmer Paper Assortment pack and the Reverse Words stamp set. For this card, I inked my "Cheers" image using the Peekaboo Peach ombre stamp pad. This created the distressed look that I was aiming for. The focal sentiment was inked up in solid Peekaboo Peach. From there, I layered on some DSP and finished off the card with a flower and a few accessories.

SSINKTC40: Green Tree

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 decided to create my own mask using the Circle Framelits. I simply die cut a medium circle out of a piece of white cardstock. From there, I sponged on three different green inks to create my multi-colored tree. I decided to continue the green theme with some fun apple print DSP. I finished the card with some gold enamel shapes to give the card some bling.

  • Inks: Wild Wasabi; Old Olive; Always Artichoke; Early Espresso
  • Cardstock: Fruit Stand DSP; Old Olive; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Metallic Enamel Shapes

White Lilies

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a thank you card. Now this card doesn't say "Thank you," but I think this could be used as a thank you card. I had fun pattern mixing and playing with shapes. I don't often use my white craft ink, but when I do, I'm always loving the result. Simple card, but oh so pretty.

Froggy Says Welcome

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a a punch art card. I found a great punch art tutorial on Pinterest to make frogs. My mind went immediately to a fun nature inspired baby card. As complicated as this frog looks, it was fairly easy to make. I did have to modify the eyes as I do not have owl builder punch shown in the tutorial. No big deal, I can make something of it. Overall, I love this little baby card.
