SWYL CASE #2

Today’s card is one of the Share What You Love CASEs that I featured at my Fall Bingo event. I slightly changed a few things from the example card, but kept it mostly the same. I CASE this beautiful card from Chris Slogar @ Buckeye Inklings.

Sky Full of Bats

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our favorite Holiday Catalog Bundle. Usually I gravitate toward the Christmas bundles and stamps sets. While that is true this year, I also found myself coming back to the Spooky Sweets Bundle over and over. I love the simple bat and moon images. And I always love a coordinating punch! I just had to pick up this bundle to play with this season.

Wildlife Love

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from fellow DT member Darla Roberts! After looking at some of her previous cards (so cute by the way!), I stopped on this cute kitty in a pot card.  I loved the simplicity and fun colors of her card. And so I turned to making my own version of her card. Instead of the cat, I pulled out my Foxy Friends stamp set and created my main image. I switched the circles for squares and flipped my orientation. Lastly I kept the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon because it is my current favorite accessory!

October Crafting Goals

c-oct.png

A recap of last month’s goals:

  • August MP Pages — Success! I finished this off during my retreat weekend.

  • Finish September SSINK posts — Success! I even took care of four October cards already.

  • Have a successful Fall Bingo Event — We had so much fun! I will miss my ladies.

  • Send out Birthday Thank You Cards — Success! I got these prepped and sent within two weeks of the party.

  • Finish packing craft area — Success!

October Goals: We are settling into our new house in a new state this month. I need to keep my craft goals simple, but I do want to get back into it a bit.

  • Set up a craft area in the new house — I have no idea where I’m going to put this stuff yet.

  • Finish my random card projects — I have a small stack of projects to finish up.

  • September MP Pages — Got this started this week, but I want to finish it soon.

  • Set up my first Nebraska meet up — I have one scheduled for the end of the month. I hope to add some more for November.

SSINKCS54: Stripes and Balloons

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

My hand immediately went to the Hand Delivered Stamp Set to use at my main image. From there, I laid out an image and started hunting through my paper for something fun. I haven't really used much of the Twinkle Twinkle paper pack even though I think it's super fun. So I picked this great stripe pattern and then colored my image to feature the same colors.
