A Washi Tape Christmas

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features another great Christmas card. I have an addiction to washi tape so of course I wanted to use it on a Christmas card. This card design is so simple, but I love all the patterns and colors.

SSINKIC27: Fall Bouquet

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a fun photo inspiration challenge!

 

I played off of the colors and acorns in the inspiration picture. The colors look a bit muddled in this picture, but I promise they look much better in person. I love the strip of burlap on the left hand side. The thin strip down the middle is actually leftover Early Espresso card stock. (Getting useful with my scraps! Look at me go!)

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 3

 

Day 3's card celebrates my love of washi tape! I have a huge bin of washi tape and I still buy more when I end up at Michael's or Joann's. For this card, I used washi tape from Stampin' Up. I love that they now sell washi tape that coordinates with all their colors. I love this card so much! I may have to make a few more.

For All Things Quick and Easy

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the For All Things stamp set. I actually won this set at a Stampin' Up Demonstrator event in September 2014. It's been my favorite fall/Thanksgiving stamp set since. It was nice to pull it back out for this season!

I went with a very simple design with a lot of white space. I think the little acorn and burlap pieces really complete the card.

Let It Snow

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features my favorite bundle from the Holiday Catalog. Turn to page 40 and you'll spy this great bundle including Sparkly Seasons and Seasonal framelits!

I had to buy this bundle! I made this card for our demo swap. I wanted to play with the snowglobe image. I stamped the snowman but he seemed a little plain. So I grabbed some markers and colored his hat and scarf.  Better but not done. Finally it dawned on me to add some snow. It's subtle, but I love the falling snow inside the snowglobe. Very festive!

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!

 
  • Stamps: Hello Life; Crazy About You; Hey There Buds

Nutcracker Ornament

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to feature one of the great products from the new Holiday Catalog. Demonstrators were able to preorder from the catalog starting on August 4th. I jumped at the chance to get some new products.

I snapped up the bundle including the Sparkly Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Frame Thinlits. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this stamp set. You'll be seeing a few cards made from this set in the next few months. I had a lot of coloring my nutcracker ornament. I stuck with the traditional red and green color palette, but the varying shades really make this card pop!
