Paisley and Copper

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using my favorite Holiday Catalog accessory. I was immediately drawn to the Petals and Paisleys Suite in the catalog. I'm not a huge ribbon fan, but I had to buy the coordinating Ribbon Trio Pack featuring Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, and Delightful Dijon spools.

 

I've been using these spools of ribbon for a ton of projects and I'm still not sick of them! For this card, I decided to featuring a small strip of Mint Macaron ribbon to "hold" my die cuts in place. I love the pattern mixing and colors of this card!

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.

Dapper Fish

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card with our new monthly Technique Challenge!

 

After reading the challenge directions, I immediately pulled out the new Jar of Love stamp set. I wanted to create a fun monochromatic card using the watercolor resist technique. The resulting card is subtle, but full of little details. I love the new In Color Envelope Paper used as a background. The play of different blues creates a calming effect. And the little fish in a jar is just plain cute! Pop on over the SSINKspiration blog to submit your own watercolor resist card.

Jumping Fish Beach

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card with a beach theme.  Thankfully I just received my a huge stack of DSP including the By the Shore paper pack. And I don't have a beach themed stamp set but thankfully the Jar of Love stamps et includes this cute this fish! Using the DSP and fish as my base, I decided to go with a watercolor beach background. Overall, I love the end result of my card.

Jar of Thanks

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the new Jar of Love Bundle. This is such a cute bundle! It was love at first sight for me! The bundle includes the Jar of Love Stamp set and the Everyday Jars Framelits. So many pieces!

 

For my card, I decided to choose on jar and make a simple image. I heat embossed this cute mason jar and sentiment with white embossing powder. I love the contrast with the smoky slate cardstock. I then stamped and die cut the greenery and flowers. After embellishment my blossoms with some Wink of Stella (see detail pic below), I went about picking some patterned paper to go with it. Have I mentioned how much I love the 2016-2018 In Color Envelope Paper? It's so great for layering on cards! I chose to repeat the Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy from the flowers. The card was still missing something until I added a couple of White Accents. Perfect!
