Quick and Easy Squares

Today's trio of cards were another attempt to use up some scrap DSP laying around. I had a ton of smaller peices of DSP (too small for a card layer), but didn't want to throw them out. I found a great repeated shape design on Pinterest and modified it for my cards. I simply die cut three squares and adhered them to a piece of slightly larger cardstock. That attached to the card base and stamped with a simple sentiment created a trio of quick and easy cards. 

 

Mint Macaron Variant:

 

Watermelon Wonder Variant: Notice my boo-boo? This one will probably go into the trash, but I wanted you to see how changing the colors and patterned paper really change up the card.

It's a Sundae Kind of Day!

Today’s card features one of my favorite carrying over bundles. I absolutely love the Tasty Treats Bundle was was so excited to see it on the carrying over list. One more year with this set at least! I recreated the fun sundaes from the paper into physical form with the great matching framelits. Some layering circles help highlight the sundae. From there I added a strip of washi tape and sentiment to finish off the card.

It's a Sundae!

Today’s card features one of the Occasions Catalog Bundles. I love the Dragonfly Bundle, but my second favorite has quickly become the Cool Treats Bundle. I love making different frozen treat cards.

Stacked Cone

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using a favorite embossing folder. This card is actually a CASE from the very talented Stacey Lane @ A Work of Carte! She made this great card. I tweaked the design just a bit to create a slightly simpler card. I just love her design so much! In fact, we're making this card for April's stamp club.

A Cupcake for You

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a cupcake card. I don't have a cupcake stamp set, so I had to improvise. I cut out my own cupcake liner from the Tasty Treats DSP. From there I added a cupcake cut from Peekaboo Peach and embossed with the Falling Softly Folder. And who doesn't love a shaker card! I had to have a bit of fun with the Sprinkles Embellishments to finish the card.

SSINKCS42: I Scream, You Scream

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

 

My card features items from the super fun Cool Treats suite in the Occasions Catalog. I had fun playing with the patterns from the paper pack. Because of the riot of pattern, I kept the stamping fairly simple with a big sentiment and a fun ice cream cone. It's hard to see in the photo, but the watermelon part of the ice cream has extra shine with Wink of Stella. After layering the paper, I added some fun coordinating washi tape and enamel shapes to finish out the card.

  • Inks: Watermelon Wonder; Crumb Cake; Chocolate Chip; Peekaboo Peach
  • Cardstock: Tasty Treats DSP; Peekaboo Peach; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Tasty Treats Washi Tape; 2015-2017 Enamel Shapes
