SSINKCS38: Three Foxy Friends

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

I decided to make a card full of Foxy Friends. These three cute little friends were then layered onto some coordinating cardstock matching the Moroccan DSP. They came together on the card but something was missing. Thankfully I had some coordinating enamel shapes and washi tape to finish off the card.

Colorful Jar

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration.

All told, this card took me less than 10 minutes to complete.

October DSP Special!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using one of the DSP packs on special. For the month of October, buy three packs of qualifying paper packs and get one free! I love when SU runs this once a year deal. It's great to build up your pattern paper stack and save a bit of money. The list of qualifying paper packs are a mix of annual and Holiday catalog offerings:

141663      Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper
141645      Moroccan Designer Series Paper
141660      Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper
141654      Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper
141630      Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper
141640      By the Shore Designer Series Paper
141986      Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper
141981       Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper

For my card, I focused on the Blooms and Bliss DSP. I love the pinks and purples for half the pack and the blues and greens for the other half of the pack. Along with using the beautiful patterned paper, I also tried out a new-to-me technique: aluminum foil embossing! It was so easy and makes a nice addition to the card.

SSINKTC37: Tiled Eclectic

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

The love the simplicity of faux tiled cards. For mine, I pulled a piece of Affectionately Yours DSP to play off of. From there, I pulled some ink colors (Night of Navy, Cucumber Crush, and Daffodil Delight) and a stamp set that would go (Kinda Eclectic). For this card, I scored every 1", but you can pick a different scoring amount. After scoring, I stamped and hoped some of the tiled effect would show. You can see it the best on the middle navy butterfly.  After stamping, I finished my card with a strip of washi tape and a die cut sentiment.

SSINKIC37: Bright Congrats

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

I decided to play off of the fun bright colors featured in the picture. I pulled out some bright DSP from the Festive Birthday pack and started matching it up. From there, I grabbed the coordinating ink colors to compliment the paper. These candles from the Build a Birthday stamp set were a perfect choice! The stark white background felt a little too plain so I added some circles from the Playful Backgrounds set. I finished off my card with simple sentiment.

• Stamps: Playful Backgrounds; Build a Birthday; Happy Happenings
• Inks: Daffodil Delight; Pumpkin Pie; Emerald Envy; Melon Mambo

SSINKCC37: Chocolate Stripes

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

This card is a direct case from Blythe Kipple @ Stamping with Blythe. I loved her vertical curtain fold card with flower embellishment. I just changed the colors and added a pearl to the center of the flower. Simple card using colors I don't usually gravitate to.

• Inks: Garden Green
• Cardstock: Neutrals DSP; Cajun Craze; Garden Green; Chocolate Chip

White Lilies

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a thank you card. Now this card doesn't say "Thank you," but I think this could be used as a thank you card. I had fun pattern mixing and playing with shapes. I don't often use my white craft ink, but when I do, I'm always loving the result. Simple card, but oh so pretty.

A Simple Fox

Tomorrow's the day! The launch of the Holiday Catalog is less than 24 hours away. Here's your last sneak peek video...

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a kid's card. I immediately went to the cute Foxy Friends stamp set. I decided to go super simple with a little fox and some layered papers. I added an embossed piece of Smoky Slate to give more texture. I didn't add a sentiment on the outside but will be adding a Happy Birthday inside for an upcoming 1st birthday card.

Just Keep Swimming

Sneak peek time! We're getting so close to the launch of the Holiday Catalog... 

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a masculine card. This Seaside Shore stamp set and coordinating paper is perfect for all the men in your life. I went with a simple design highlighting the beautiful stripe patter and stamp set. The only other piece I added was a few gold sequins to add a bit of pop. Notice that I fussy cut the fish and popped him on a dimension to give more dimension.

A Flirty Shaker

Another great sneak peek video for this Friday. 

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a shaker card. Last month I borrowed Sheltering Tree from a friend and ended up stamping some extra trees and images to use later. This simple tree was perfect to build a shaker card from. I added a bit of color directly onto the tree and then repeated the color with some punched confetti stars. The shaker part was missing something so I added some great metallic sequins. Perfect! Some washi tape and a simple sentiment completed the card.
