SSINKCS40: Classic Christmas

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

I had this leftover stamped sentiment from the My Hero stamp set still sitting on my desk. This sketch was the perfect place for it! I layered on some fun green dsp from the This Christmas packet, but something was missing. Instead of using dsp or a solid piece of cardstock, I decided to emboss some Real Red to compliment the sentiment. Perfect idea!

Halloween Tree

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a tree card. The Sheltering Tree stamp set has so many different uses! For this card, I decided to leave my tree bare and make it a Halloween tree. A bit of washi (with silver foil) adds a bit of fun and dimension to the background. And of course I had to add a pumpkin somewhere. Here the pumpkin becomes my sun.

You're My Hero

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the annual Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set. This year's stamp set is called My Hero and contains some great little images.

For this card, I focused on the "You are My Hero" badge. While this image coordinates with the Best Badge Punch, unfortunately I don't own it. No matter! I could usually fussy cut this image. In fact, I cut it out and decided that the white background was too plain. So I mounted the badge on a piece of Dapper Denim Cardstock and fussy cut a slightly larger image to give some depth. From there I pulled some pattern paper in a blue and green color palette. Lately, I've been loving pattern mixing. For this card, I mixed a piece from the Moroccan DSP pack and a piece from the 2016-2018 In Color Enveloped Paper pack. The paper looked a bit plain so I added a strip of coordinating ribbon and some enamel shapes. Finally I wanted a bit of shine, so I finished the card off with a circle of silver foil to highlight the badge sentiment.
