Sweet Birthday

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a masculine card. While my card may have an ice cream cone on it, I think this can easily be used for a man...

A Rainy Day

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a Sprinkles of Life card. Once again, I am using Sprinkles of Life for my Friday Favorite. I borrowed the set from a friend and have fallen in love with it!

 

I decided to play a bit with my new watercolor paper. I simply painted on some Lost Lagoon ink to create a stormy background. It looks much better in person I promise. From there, I added the clouds and raindrops to great the focal point of the card.

Bushel of Apples

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a simple thank you card. I love making Thank You cards almost as much as I love send them out. For today's card, I decided to to try my hand at a bushel full of apples. The trick is that you have to punch these apples out but punching them out also punches random bits from their parts of the punch. So it took me forever to punch out about 12 apples. But I think the effect is worth it! I love the cute little basket on a tag. And the polka dot paper just makes it for me!

New Favorite

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a current favorite of mine: Sprinkles of Life stamp set. Actually, this set isn't mine. I borrowed it from a friend for the month, but I have fell in love with the set. In total, I've made six different card variations in just a few weeks. I'm getting all the use of this stamp set before I give it back.

For this card, I decided to play off of the natural colors of trees and use more of favorite Cherry on Top DSP. I found some coordinating pattern paper in the stack and had fun layering it in a nontraditional way. I love all the white space on this card. It reminds me of fresh and bright interiors. Love it!

Cherry on Top Love

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a card made with my favorite DSP.  Even though it's been around since June, I am still in love with my Cherry on Top Paper Stack. The fun patterns and bright colors keep calling me back!

I decided to use one of the busier patterns as a base for a fun card. Thankfully a friend lent me her Sprinkles of Life stamp set. It works perfectly with the paper. I stamped and punched/cut out a simple ice cream cone to fill out the center of my card. I used the colors from the pattern paper and added some layered cardstock. I finished the card with a few Bermuda Bay candy dots.

SSINKCS26: My Favorite Color Combo

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features a fun card sketch challenge today.

 

I started with my favorite color combination: Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive. From there I started pulling pattern patterns I liked to use a base. After arranging and rearranging, I settled on these patterns. (Hint: the blackberry bliss pattern paper is actually washi tape over a piece of very vanilla)  I used the Sprinkles of Life stamp set one last time to make some pretty flowers.

  • Inks:  Blackberry Bliss; Old Olive
  • Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss; Very Vanilla; Pretty Petals DSP; Typeset DSP
  • Accessories: Happy Haunting Washi Tape
  • Tools: Circles Framelits; Corner Rounder
