Blue Butterfly Scraps

3.png

Today’s card is another random scrap card. I dug through my scrap pile and found all these cute pieces featuring blue and yellow. I found a similar design on an old Pinterest board and modified it to my own supplies. Really love this bright card!

Big Purple Flower

3.png

Today’s card features another watercolor image. I previously colored the large butterfly image in the Beautiful Day stamp set and thought today I would color the large flower. Of course I had to make it purple and feature my favorite retiring color, Fresh Fig. I kept the rest of the card pretty simple to highlight my flower.

Apple and Mango

A quick and easy card for today. I took a piece of black and white paper, cut it in two, and rolled on some ink. Easy peasy to create a fun background. I finished my card off with some cute coordinating enamel shapes from my stash.

Washi Celebration

Today’s card features just a few rolls from my washi tape collection. I have so much washi and only use it in my planner spreads. But I pulled some pretty ones out and created my own background piece for this simple card.

Pastel Love

3.png

Today’s card was an attempt to use random DSP scraps. I always have a box of random scraps and hoped to get some inspiration from them. I took my card design from an example in our demonstrator magazine, but tailored it to my stamp sets and papers I found. I kept most of the card simple just hoping to focus on the stamped piece and pattern papers.

Polka Dots and Stripes

3.png

Today’s card is a CASE from Deb Naylor @ The Flying Stamper. I loved the simplicity of the design added with the color blocking and embossed texture. I just had to make my own. I changed the card only to fit my own supplies, but I had to keep the main elements the same.

Sprinkle Tree

3.png

Today’s card is one of those cards that has been sitting my card stash half-finished for months… I had stamped the tree and bike, but never went any further. This pretty pink tree was the perfect base for another birthday card. So I added a sentiment, pierced some holes (for a more interesting design), and some retired candy dots. Simple yet pretty.

It's a Bee-utiful Day!

3.png

Today’s card features one of my favorite colors (and my favorite color retiring this year) Fresh Fig. I love the deep dark purple. This color started with Fresh Fig. From there, I found some DSP that featured a darker purple and then settled on a sentiment. The bees came to me after a search for something nature related.

Bermuda Bay Cupcake

Today’s card is a CASE from Amy Koenders @ Stamp with Amy K. I loved the little cupcake with the oval sentiment and fun pattern paper as a background. I pulled out my own supplies and set about recreating her card. Love the results! Very fun and bright!

Watercolor Butterfly

3.png

Today’s card is my result of playing with some ink and watercolor paper. I love the big butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set and tried a few different ways to color it. I finally settled on using ink and a watercolor technique to fill in my butterfly. I love how messy the coloring looks. From there, I found some scrap pieces of DSP that coordinate and added some fun embellishments.
