A Simple Leaf Birthday

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a masculine card. I often turn to blues and greens for masculine cards. For this one, I wanted to play with coloring but keep the color palette within the earth tones.

Sunday Haul #7

I received my planner shipment from Kaiden's Mom Shops. I ended up with a hodgepodge of personal planner kits, deco sheets, one mostly complete kit, and some icon stickers. Can't wait to use these!

Dragon at the Keep

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create featuring animals. Surprisingly I have a ton of stamp sets featuring animals, but I chose to go in a slightly different direction. How about a mythical animal?

A Flock of Bird Cards

Today’s cards were half of the featured Make N Takes at my Spring Bingo event. Each Bingo participant received a goody bag with four variously colored cardstock bases, six 6x6 pieces of Naturally Eclectic DSP, two yards of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon, a strip of White Accents, and four metallic doilies. From those supplies, the ladies made two cards at the Bingo event leaving plenty of supplies to take home and use later. For inspiration, I made four different cards using the same supplies.

Bingo Thank You

Today’s cards were given to all the participants at my Spring Bingo event. I found the idea for this card from Stamp with Paper Panda. I modified her cards a bit to suit my own purposes, but kept the design the same. This was the perfect card to use some of the Color Theory DSP stack.

March 2018 Memory Planner

So I somehow finished March's Memory Planner pages super early in April. Very excited about my progress. Doing it early allowed me to remember more for my journaling.

Folded Flowers

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a fabulous flowers card. Instead of stamping with flowers, I decided to focus on some of our gorgeous floral DSP. This particular piece is from the Cake Soiree DSP pack. I featured this card at April's stamp club where we scored and folded to create this amazing double pleated fold. For the measurements and tutorial, check out Julie @ The Way We Stamp.

As a bonus, you are left with four great triangles from cutting the DSP. I used those triangles to make a bonus card! All the ladies at stamp club picked different DSP and really made this card their own. Love it!

Sunday Haul #6

I stopped by the craft store for a pop-in and popped out with a full size score board, a cute ornament stamp, and some scrapbook stickers.

I also received my very small supplementary Stampin' Up! order. I needed a new pack of Night of Navy cardstock and grabbed a pack of the carrying-over Wood Textures DSP pack.

A Fruity Celebration

Today’s card is such a fun card that uses no stamps at all. Every once in a while, I like to stretch my creativity. For this card, I decided to layer on the color, pulling from the fun pineapple DSP. I love this card so much that I want to make it using all the pieces of DSP from the Tutti-Frutti stack.

Pick a Pen

Today’s card is so incredibly cheery. I love the fun festive colors and the cute repeating pen image. I decided to color the pens with the colors featured in the DSP and love the results. Coloring this card was very meditative. I love these simple and easy cards.
