Have a Cup

Today's card features one of my favorite new stamp sets: Coffee Cafe. I love coffee so of course i had to buy this bundle! For this card I decided to layer on a ton of pieces (DSP, washi tape, die cut cups, background layers) until I created a fun layered card. I dug through my washi tape stash to find something that would match the colors in the DSP pieces. Thankfully I had some retired Moroccan Washi Tape and some Gold Glitter Washi Tape. I think they add just enough interest to this crazy card.

Moroccan Star

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a washi tape card. I ended up directly CASEing a beautiful card from Leanne Johnson @ Literally My Joy. I rediscovered her card while searching for some way to incorporate washi tape and make a fun card for my card buffet class. I changed up the sentiment and colors, but kept the simple design. I love it!

SSINKCS38: Three Foxy Friends

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

I decided to make a card full of Foxy Friends. These three cute little friends were then layered onto some coordinating cardstock matching the Moroccan DSP. They came together on the card but something was missing. Thankfully I had some coordinating enamel shapes and washi tape to finish off the card.

A Flirty Shaker

Another great sneak peek video for this Friday. 

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a shaker card. Last month I borrowed Sheltering Tree from a friend and ended up stamping some extra trees and images to use later. This simple tree was perfect to build a shaker card from. I added a bit of color directly onto the tree and then repeated the color with some punched confetti stars. The shaker part was missing something so I added some great metallic sequins. Perfect! Some washi tape and a simple sentiment completed the card.

• Stamps:Sheltering Tree, Jar of Love
• Inks: Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo, Sahara Sand
• Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White
• Accessories: Metallic Sequins, Moroccan Washi Tape
• Tools:Lots of Labels Framelits, Confetti Stars Punch

Back to School Stars

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Back to School themed project. I played around with design and stamp sets, but ultimately settled on a mix of patterns highlighting stars. I'm currently loving the brown and blue combo of Early Espresso and Island Indigo. I added some washi tape and a bit of embossing to jazz up a pretty simple card design.

• Stamps: Labeler Alphabet
• Inks: Island Indigo
• Cardstock: Neutrals DSP; Island Indigo

SSINK August 2016 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration blog hop! This month we are creating ABC 123 cards. That's 1 stamp set, 2 pattern papers, and 3 embellishments.  As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 1 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration Blog Hop – Diana @ Stampin' Fun with Diana. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

Each card needed to have one stamp set, two paper patterns, and three embellishments. I decided to play off the beautiful patterns and colors of the Moroccan DSP. I didn't initially fall for this pack of paper, but I've found myself wanting to pick up and use it more and more lately. Yea for me not hoarding paper like I usually do. So I layered some of the patterned paper on top of coordinating cardstock. The middle was pretty empty, so I added this beautiful die cut butterfly. For my embellishments, I pulled out the Dapper Denim color for the washi tape and ribbon. And went tone-on-tone with the Emerald Envy enamel shapes.
