DT INkspirational Clean & Simple




The Greetery Wrapped in Love/Sentiment Additions, Glitterific on cardstock, Brutus Monroe Cardstock




It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!



(optional: Feature a Balloon)


 It's a Clean and Simple, or CAS as many say, with the option of featuring a Balloon.

I love CAS cards, and they are perfect to try out a new stamp or die!

This CAS card I created, was the perfect opportunity to try this Greetery set in my stash.

It made for a quick thank you card which I put in the mail right away.

Inside Pop Up Desk

 

I really got into creating a pop up for my nephew.


I used Lawn Fawn products and a burst of balloons that was a birthday incentive from Simon Says Stamp!


Thank you so much SIMON SAYS!!!



Simon Says Stamp Festive Balloons, Lawn Fawn Pop Up Desk/Virtual Friends, The Greetery Tear Strip Tags, My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circles, Winnie & Walter (out of business) Hugs







Here's the thing...


when I thought I was done and could mail it (can it travel across the US within a day?!!! )  :/, I was shocked to see the front was blank.

oh gosh. 

right.


OK, quick fun sentiment dies and patterned paper to the rescue ;).




American Crafts Damask Love Patterened Paper ,Winnie & Walter (out of business) Hugs & birthday sentiment dies


Ok, so it's late at this point (it was late before I even stuck it in an envi),


but I hope the kid will understand. ;)


Thanks for visiting~

Deepest Sympathy


My husband requested a sympathy card for a coworker.


Alcohol Inks, Spellbinders Hot Foil Plate & Die set, Papertrey Ink Happy Trails Dragonfly, Erin Lee Creative Black Glossy Cardstock, Avery Elle Wonky Stitches, Silver Cardstock



I had this panel of green, gold and blue alcohol inks.

It adds a lovely texture and base, and I was hoping it would "lightly" create a mood for a sympathy card.


I propped it on silver cardstock and added a strip of a hot foiled sentiment.


(Silver cardstock main base, gold alcohol inks and Hot Foiled sentiment)




Thank you for your sweet visit today!

Happy Birthday from The Burger Family


I created this for my youngest because these characters feel like family. ;)



Kindred Stamps Burger Family,  Scoring Board, Happy Birthday Sentiment, Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment die (behind banner die), Simon Says Stamp Streamer Ribbon dies, Copics, Alcohol inks (strip below the sentiment)



Here's the inside; I even added a single light. ;)



Erin Lee Creative You Got This Hot Foil Sentiment, Pear Blossom Press One Light 


 I used a tool to push the light on, since my nails are JACKED at the moment.

I added scoring so that the characters are closer together, and to add some texture.


Simon Says (Wednesday): Add Some Texture


I scored three lines in between each character...

and folded them with two "hills" and one "valley".




 

That's it! 


I enjoyed using these stamps for the first time and completing something in time to hand over to my daughter on her special day.


Thank you for your sweet visit!

DT Designer Choice Paper Piecing


It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational~



Picket Fence Studios Boys of All Seasons, Avery Elle Harvest Collection Paper Pad, Sizzix Tim Holtz Retro TV die




This time the prompt is Marina's choice, and she chose paper piecing!




I stamped and die cut this image from Picket Fence Studios, and colored his face and hair.


As I was debating a color for his shirt, I decided this would be the card I paper pieced.


I stamped mostly the bottom of the image on patterned paper from Avery Elle, and fussy cut.
