SSINKIC29: Lots of Hearts

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card inspired by the picture below.

I decided to play off of the multiple colored chocolate covered strawberries. I layered some similarly colored hearts. A few of the hearts I added a stamped flower for added visual appeal. Two of them were covered in Wink of Stella. From there, I layered on some neutral DSP, a Rose Red flag, and a sentiment. As a finishing touch, I added a few candy dots. Super cute Valentine's Day themed card.

SSINKCS25: Schoolhouse Banners

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features a fun card sketch challenge today.

I started with this great Mint Macaron DSP and started building a great new baby card. I had fun coloring the Hey There Buds card. Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, and Mint Macaron are the perfect combination. I finished this card off with a sentiment from Crazy About You. I finished the card and realized that the Hey There Buds stamp is retired. Ugh! I can't use retired cards for the SSINK blog. What to do? It's a cute card so I had to feature it on my blog, but I went back to the sketch to find current items to make my design team card...

I started this card with the beautiful polka dot DSP from the Schoolhouse pack. I layered the polka dot print over the opposite side featuring numbers. Beautiful combo! To finish out the card, I added a simple sentiment, some washi tape, and a punched banner. Very cute!

SSINK Mystery Supply Challenge

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was a new one for me. Each of the design team members sent three embellishments/supply pieces to another team member. The receiving team member had to create a card using the sent supplies. Sounds like so much fun! I sent my supplies out to Carrie Rhoades. Check out what I sent and what she made on the main page. I received these supplies from Darcy Johnson: stamped images from Groovy Love, gold glitter, and Bermuda Bay sequin trim. I own the sequin trim, but the other two supplies were new.

What I make? I'll admit that the the Groovy Love stamp set isn't my style, but it was nice to stretch myself. I decided to play with lots of shine and hearts. I stamped the heart image from Hello Life in Versamark and sprinkled on the glitter. To keep it from getting everywhere, I ended up covering the card with a piece of window sheet. From there, I layered on the cardstock and some of the stamped hearts. Lastly I added the final supply (sequin trim) under a heart in the corner. Very bright and fun card!
