Lime and Lipstick Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card featuring nontraditional colors. I love lime green and pink for Christmas cards, so I ran with that color palette. After searching through my DSP container, I stumbled upon the Broadway Bound DSP featuring both colors. Perfect! I set to creating a stack of presents as the center piece of my card. I kept the design simple and only added a sentiment and piece of ribbon to finish the card.

Farmhouse Blessings

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using a color technique. I’m all about my Stampin’ Up! markers to add that little bit of something extra to my cards. For today’s card, I layered on the patterns before stamping and coloring in my central image and sentiment. Every once in awhile, I love playing with a ton of patterns.

Thankful for You!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a gratitude card. I had to showoff the gorgeous Frosted Floral DSP in some way, but wanted to stay with the autumn colors. So I paired this with the Many Blessings stamp set and the leaves from Making Everyday Bright stamp set. Perfect pairing!

CASEing Cheryl

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from fellow Design Team member Cheryl Hamilton! I picked this cute baby kangaroo card to CASE.  I loved the layout and kept most of those elements. But I changed out everything else. I wanted to make a fun autumn card to celebrate the first week of November. My circle framelit doesn’t quite fit, but I love the elements of my main piece. If you look closely, you can see pops of Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron to balance out the palette.
