DT INk Visual Prompt

 

Verve (no longer in business) Pumpkin, Papertrey Ink Counting My Blessings word die

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time the Visual Prompt is Fall.

I have LOTS of precut die cuts and elements and scraps of patterned paper that I had recently thrown into a huge bowl near my craft table (the plastic organizer I had them in was cracked and taking up too much space).

Well, I walked past the bowl and knocked it over.

The best part, is that as I was gathering the scraps, I started seeing cards that could be thrown together.

Prepare to see more of them!

Thank you for your sweet visit today and we hope to see you participate in this challenge~

CAS Pumpkin Grid

Pretty Pink Posh Mini Storybook 1 and Decorative Pumpkins, Brutus Monroe Quilted Keepsakes, Jawbreaker PP and Fall Leaf die

I created a CAS thankful card with pumpkins.

I have to use every scrap of these Brutus Monroe Patterned papers (they're gorgeous).

Since there's spots on the pumpkins and stripes within the leaf:

Yay for more Fall cards! 

Thank you for joining me today~

Llama Say Happy Birthday

Knocked over a container of scraps and he fell out....

Hero Arts Fa La Llama, Winnie and Walter (out of business) birthday sentiment die, Stitched star die cut

 I love when I can build on a starting point!

He's so funny, isn't he?

I trimmed off the original part of "Llama say" which ended with hello and added birthday greetings for this "big and bold".

Thank you for your sweet visit today!

Beautiful Leaves & Apple Trees

I got to swing by my local scrapbook store to pick up a couple of GORGEOUS sheets from Paper Rose.

I'm finally able to get them in my rotation before this beautiful season!

The stamps are Pretty Pink Posh, sentiment is The Ton and paper is Brutus Monroe.

Loving how they all play together so well!

Boop Wintry Autumn Driver

Love these cutie animals from Graphic 45's Well Groomed.

CZ Design Wafer Die Boop, Graphic 45 Well Groomed paper, Tim Holtz 3D Snowflake, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangle, Tonic Studios Mirror Cardstock

This is a "just because" CAS card for my aunt, with a doggo "driver" (Just Us Girls Mood Board) and CZ Design sentiment.

(Doggo bottom left and fall colors)

Since this guy is driving with gloves and all...

It's time for a new INkspirational challenge and the prompt is Furry Friends!

The Greetery Tear Strip Tags, Unity Stamps Deckled Rectangles, Reverse Confetti(no longer in business) Hang Ups, Craft Smith Falalallama paper pad (2017)

I'm always scrambling for tags right before Christmas, so I thought I'd whip some up with these cute llamas I've had for awhile.

I built up from there!

DT INk Visual Prompt Letters & Numbers

The Stamp Market Bread Tag die, Hero Arts Castle Die (Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2019 Kit)

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time the prompt is visual (home- family-love).

 

I mean families live in castles, don't they???

At least some did at first!

I created these tags for my granddaughter's bday, because it was a princess theme. ;)

It was such fun and I loved tagging the bags with castles, because there were little boy guests and I felt they could enjoy the theme too!

Please join us with your unique take~

Herd It's Your Birthday

Simon Says Stamp Highland Cows, Erin Lee Creative Door

 

Finally inked up this Highland cow and a couple of the sentiments!

This set has fabulous images; it was hard to choose just one!

Thank you for your sweet visit today~

S is for 60

The Greetery Ribbon Maker Wood Bead Garland, Erin Lee Creative numbers and sentiment, Practical Publishing 2018 Furry Friends Chair, My Favorite Things Wonky Stiched Frame
 

We have a PaRtY to attend...so I was inspired to create a CAS bday card.

(S is for sixty!)

(Birthday, CAS, Stitched Die-wonky stitched frame)

I've recently moved things around in the craft room and I'm starting to get my sea legs back!!!

Meaning...I'm actually finding my supplies and feeling the fun.

It's stressful when things are new and not where you expect them to be (even though I put them there to get organized-ha!).

Have a blessed day!

DT INk Beach Scenes

Word Art Wednesday verse, Wall Collage kit Mint, faux wax embellishment

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time it is a beautiful beach visual prompt.

 

Lately I've been deep diving in to my craft supplies at all corners of my creative area.

I'm rearranging and though painful for my brain (ha!), it's proven fruitful in my rediscoveries.

This verse was probably printed from Word Art Wednesday, and was already prepped.

This picture panel is from a wall collage kit I couldn't resist from a store called Five Below.

This was the Mint collection and I trimmed it down to fit a card and the verse.

Faux wax embellishment was also a rediscovery!

Please join us with your unique take~

DT INk Christmas in July

Honey Bee Stamps Inside Thankful Sentiments, Silhouette design

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time it's Christmas in July.

 

I rediscovered this ornament border I must have cut from my outdated Silhouette machine (I have one of the oldest machines).

I have someone in mind who will receive this B&W CAS creation!

Please join us with your unique design~

DT INk Leftovers

Hero Arts Classic Casserole dies,  Honey Bee Stamps Friendship Ladder Sentiment

 It's time for a new INk challenge and this time the prompt is "Leftovers".

Repurpose your 'scrappy bits' - papers, ephemera, etc.

I had this mini panel finished (with "leftovers" casserole and sentiment) as a mini notecard that I thought I'd tuck into a present or plant.

I loved the combo and didn't want to lose the dishes or sentiment in my large stack of leftovers.

I decided to trim the card and place it on a bigger one for this challenge!

Grace Upon Grace

Grace Upon Grace wooden stamp, Papertrey Ink In the Meadow deer

Show me some stripes and I'm there!

(animal and shadow/silhouette...it could be a shadow!)

Simon Says (Monday): Masculine

Simon Says (Wednesday): Add a Sentiment

I wanted a gentle encouragement card, reminding the recipient of God's daily grace.

 I felt led to send this during a painful transition...I had to send something!

DT INk Visual Prompt

 

The Ton Stamps Easy Expressions, My Favorite Things (no longer in business) Always Bring a Smile , Nuvo Drops

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time it's an adorable visual prompt, from which I pulled mushrooms and a woodland scene.

It's a stamp set that I have been itching to play with, and I was motivated because I needed a sweet birthday card for a 4 year old.

I picked soft colors to experiment with and added a few Nuvo Drops.
