SSINKCS39: Warm Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the sketch below. Sketch cards are always a lot of fun to make.

I had a few pages from the Warmth and Cheer DSP pack leftover from my paper share. I love this fun collection of patterns and colors. So I decided to go with a nontraditional combination of Garden Green and Delightful Dijon. I had a ton of fun mixing and matching patterns to recreate the sketch. A simple, but very visually appealing card.

Cool Trees

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card using nontraditional colors. I decided to go with Rich Razzleberry, Mint Macaron, and Silver. I love the cool look of this card. I embossed the piece of Mint Macaron with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder to give some extra dimension to the card. The trees were stamped from the Foxy Friends stamp set and coordinate with the Perfect Pines Framelits. Unfortunately, I never bought those framelits. Oh well! I just fussy cut the trees. Not a huge deal, but I'm really thinking about buying those framelits now.

Candy Cane Lane Box

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a 3D Project. I choose a cute little box featuring the beautiful Candy Cane Lane DSP. This box looks complicated, but I assure you, it's super easy to put together. I followed the directions from Angie Kennedy Juda's great little video. As an added bonus, it took me less than 10 minutes to finish. Perfect for little gifts.

A side view of the box. This would be perfect to put a few chocolates into.

CASEing the Holiday Catalog

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from page 12 of the Holiday Catalog. Here's a pic of some of the creations on page 12. I decided to CASE the Cherry Cobbler based card at the bottom of the pic.

I took the basic idea of layering some dsp and adding a sentiment and a few fussy cut trees. I switched out the dsp for washi tape and added some different embellishments to my card, but the basic idea is the same.

Ribbons and Twine

Well, the SSINK Design Team pulled a fast one on me. I had this post all set-up for a blog hop, but it turns out they did a special baby shower post for me. Check it out here.  The ladies made such cute little projects! But I still made a card for our supposed Ribbons and Twine blog hop. Check it out below! The challenge was to create a card using ribbon or twine from the Holiday Catalog. I didn't end up buying any ribbon or twine, but I did buy the awesome Metallic Thread Combo featuring Emerald Envy and Cherry Cobbler. I love how the thread adds a little bit of shine to projects. It's hard to see in the pictures on the blog, but the Emerald Envy thread adds a ton of personality to this rather simple card.
