A quick and easy card for today. I took a piece of black and white paper, cut it in two, and rolled on some ink. Easy peasy to create a fun background. I finished my card off with some cute coordinating enamel shapes from my stash.

Today’s card features just a few rolls from my washi tape collection. I have so much washi and only use it in my planner spreads. But I pulled some pretty ones out and created my own background piece for this simple card.

Today’s card was an attempt to use random DSP scraps. I always have a box of random scraps and hoped to get some inspiration from them. I took my card design from an example in our demonstrator magazine, but tailored it to my stamp sets and papers I found. I kept most of the card simple just hoping to focus on the stamped piece and pattern papers.

Today’s card is a CASE from Deb Naylor @ The Flying Stamper. I loved the simplicity of the design added with the color blocking and embossed texture. I just had to make my own. I changed the card only to fit my own supplies, but I had to keep the main elements the same.

Today’s card is one of those cards that has been sitting my card stash half-finished for months… I had stamped the tree and bike, but never went any further. This pretty pink tree was the perfect base for another birthday card. So I added a sentiment, pierced some holes (for a more interesting design), and some retired candy dots. Simple yet pretty.

Today’s card features one of my favorite colors (and my favorite color retiring this year) Fresh Fig. I love the deep dark purple. This color started with Fresh Fig. From there, I found some DSP that featured a darker purple and then settled on a sentiment. The bees came to me after a search for something nature related.

I popped into Joann’s to look for a specific Happy Planner sticker book, and they didn’t have it. So of course, I browsed around the rest of the store and came out with this stack… I pulled a few papers to use for Week in the Life this year (happening in late April for my family). I wanted to coordinate with some fun colors and patterns and all of these ones really called to me. Beyond that I grabbed a alphabet stamp set on the cheap and a cute die cut pack.
Today’s card is a CASE from Amy Koenders @ Stamp with Amy K. I loved the little cupcake with the oval sentiment and fun pattern paper as a background. I pulled out my own supplies and set about recreating her card. Love the results! Very fun and bright!

Today’s card is my result of playing with some ink and watercolor paper. I love the big butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set and tried a few different ways to color it. I finally settled on using ink and a watercolor technique to fill in my butterfly. I love how messy the coloring looks. From there, I found some scrap pieces of DSP that coordinate and added some fun embellishments.

Today’s card was an attempt to use the pretty, but not quite my style Petal Promenade DSP pack. When faced with florals, I sometimes struggle to find a design that works. For this card, I started by stamping and coloring the tea pot. (Love how that one turned out!!!) From there, I stamped a flower image all over a piece of Powder Pink Cardstock before layering on a piece of DSP. A sentiment and a bit of shine finished off my card.
