Baby Wipe Technique

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card for Masculine Monday. So my end result does have glitter, but I still think this is a pretty masculine card. I used the baby wipe technique to have a bit of fun with the retiring I Think You're Great stamp set. I love this technique! I seriously need to make more cards using it.

SSINKMC33: Going Places Thank You

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using elements from the mystery challenge below.

 

For this month's challenge, I used four the elements: shape, colors, special element, and theme. I played with picking some patterns from the Going Places DSP stack and helping to fill out the remaining spaces with a washi tape covered circle and a stamped circle. The size of the circles are slightly off, but overall I love the look of this card.

SSINKIC33: Pastel Ice Cream Cones

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

 

After glancing at the picture, I immediately knew that I would use the Celebrate Today stamp set. The set makes balloons, but I could turn those into ice cream cone shapes easily.  I set about adding some pattern stamps to the plain cardstock. Finally I added a nice sentiment. Lovely card for a new baby.

Kissed Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the kissing technique. Have you ever tired the kissing technique before? It's so simple and really makes stamps more versatile. Take a more solid stamp, ink it up,  "kiss" it to a pattern stamp, and stamp your piece of cardstock. The I Think You're Great stamp set has two great patterned stamps to choose from.

I kissed my flower stamps to the flower patterned stamp from I Think You're Great. From there I built an all purple card. Can you tell that purple is my favorite color? I used four of the five purple hues from Stampin' Up. I just didn't get around to incorporating Blackberry Bliss.  After stampin the flowers, I added a die cut and stamped sentiment and my favorite embellishments: candy dots.

  • Stamps: Crazy About You; I Think You're Great
  • Inks: Wisteria Wonder; Perfect Plum; Rich Razzleberry; Elegant Eggplant
  • Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder; Perfect Plum
  • Accessories: Candy Dots
  • Tools: Flower Medallion Punch; Hello You Thinlits

Summer Fun Card

This card was sent to one of my demo friends in our monthly swap. And it's a huge departure from what I usually do. I really wanted to challenge myself to use some of the great abstract stamps to create a picture.

Our theme was summer and right away I knew that I wanted to add a sun to my card! I punched out rays with my Banner Punch and a sentiment from I Think You're Great. For added interest, my rays were punched from three different color cardstock. From there, I thought an ice cream cone would pair nicely with the sun. A free-handed cone stamped with a pattern stamp and a top traced from a different stamp from I Think You're Great made the perfect ice cream cone. But the card still looked to plain. Add some "waves" using the Work of Art set and suddenly my card was complete!

  • Stamps: I Think You're Great; Work of Art
  • Inks: Daffodil Delight; Tip Top Taupe; Pool Party; Lost Lagoon
  • Cardstock: Cherry on Top DSP; Tip Top Taupe; Cucumber Crush; Pool Party; Daffodil Delight; Delightful Dijon; Crushed Curry
  • Accessories:
  • Tools: Banner Punch; Circles Framelits
