Peekaboo Hello

Today's card was an attempt to use more of my retired DSP. I still had a few pieces of the beautiful Affectionately Yours DSP laying around in my scrap box. One piece was big enough to create this great peekaboo card for today. I kept my sentiment simple to keep the focus on the paper. As a last touch, I added a candy dot to the fold.

Simple Washi Tape Card

A duo of fun and simple washi tape cards. I have an entire bin of washi tape just sitting in my cabinets. I decided I really need to use them more. So I pulled out some fun retired Stampin' Up! washi tape to create these two different cards. First I hand drew a fun little border on my white cardstock. Then I adhered some washi tape strips. From there, I added a nice sentiment (seriously love the Better Together Stamp Set for great bigger sentiments). To finish, I added some sequins. Simple, yet great cards!

  • Stamps: Better Together; Four You (retired)
  • Inks: Basic Black; Melon Mambo
  • Cardstock: Melon Mambo; Smoky Slate; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Gold Sequins Trim; Silver Sequin Trim; Variety of Stampin' Up! washi tape (retired)
  • Tools: Black Marker

A Tranquil Father's Day

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card for Father's Day. I don't like traditional Father's Day cards, but I thought the Paisleys and Posies Stamp Set with the right colors would be perfect. Tranquil Tide is the perfect color for a more masculine card. Pairing it with Basic Gray makes it look more green than blue. After stamping a random pattern, I added a ayer of Basic Gray and an embossed piece of Tranquil Tide. I love repeating layers on my cards. I chose a simple sentiment and embellished it with a silver doily.

  • Stamps: Paisleys and Posies; Better Together
  • Inks: Tranquil Tide
  • Cardstock: Tranquil Tide; Basic Gray; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Metallic Doilies
  • Tools: Oh My Stars Emboss; Lots of Labels Framelits

A Burst of Berry!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our favorite 2017-2019 In Color. Hands down my favorite new In Color is Berry Burst! I love love love this gorgeous pink-purple color. To highlight this awesome color, I made a monochromatic card. The new Color Theory DSP has these gorgeous ombre sheets that really set off the stamped sentiment, ribbon, and butterflies. It's hard to tell in the first photo, but I Wink of Stella-ed the cut out butterfly.

Birthday Dino

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring new catalog products. .How cute is this paper? When I saw it was available for preorder, I knew I had to have it. The pack has some great patterns, but the dinosaurs are definitely my favorite. For my card, I pieced together a strip of fun dino dsp, a coordinating pattern, and a stamped piece of Sahara Sand. From there I added a great sentiment from my newest set, Better Together. I can't wait to use this stamp set and pattern paper pack more. Stay tuned for some great new product cards in June.
