SSINKCS41: Carried Away

I ran out of time this past weekend to get a card sketch card posted for Monday's SSINK challenge. So instead of being a design team member, I'm going to participate in the challenge today. Click on the sketch to play along with us!  Here's the sketch we were given:

 

And here's the card I came up with! I decided to play with patterns and stamping for this card. The new SAB paper Carried Away is one of my favorites! I love the great color combinations and patterns. So I took three patterns from that pack for the circles and the banner. I then added a simple sentiment, but jazzed it up by using tone on tone stamping to create my own patterned background. Before I glued everything down, I decided the background needed a bit more. Enter the Playful Backgrounds stamp set. A few stamps of these fun circles completed my card.

 
  • Stamps: Designer Tee (SAB); Playful Backgrounds
  • Inks: Watermelon Wonder; Peekaboo Peach
  • Cardstock: Carried Away DSP (SAB); Watermelon Wonder; Peekaboo Peach

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
  • Cardstock: Festive Birthday DSP; Emerald Envy; Whisper White

SSINK September 2016 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration blog hop! This month we are creating ABC 123 cards. That's 1 stamp set, 2 pattern papers, and 3 embellishments.  As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 3on the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration Blog Hop – Carrie @ Carrie Stamps. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

September's theme was mystery supplies. We've done mystery supplies in the past and always had so much fun! I'm glad we brought the idea back for the blog hop. Each participating member sent a collection of random supplies to another member. The receiver had to create a card featuring those items. These are the items I received from Darla:

I was excited to see these supplies as I don't have the Playful Palette Paper Stack. I decided to use all the pieces given, play off the colors in the DSP, and make a fun birthday card. I added the background stamp, sentiment, and enamel shapes to compliment the banner, ribbon, and balloons. I love how colorful this card turned out. Very cute!
