DT INkspirational Fold
It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!
The prompt is Fold, so I tried out this die for the first time, and it's a Technique Tuesday Shade and Valance die.
I had to fold the peak and valleys to give the shade proper dimension.
Behind the window is an image stamped from a Hero Arts wooden stamp.
Please join us with your unique creation!

Time for a New Chapter Embossed Image
Hero Arts Girl (Looking to the Stars, Architectural Wonders, City HeroScape sentiment, Venetian Neighborhood), Lawn Fawn Stitched Thought Bubble, MFT Stitched Clouds, Distress Inks, Versamark Ink,Black embossing powder
This card came together organically, in that I had the background available, and the other pieces seemed to fit on them well.
The embossed image and Architectural Wonders are fairly recent purchases; aren't they fun?!

DT Designer Choice White on White
We have a new challenge at INkspirational!
It's Julia's choice, and she picked White on White.
I felt it was appropriate for sympathy cards, which unfortunately, is always needed.
I used embossing folders for texture and Papertrey Ink sentiment borders, which I've had for awhile now (not sure if they are currently still available).
We hope you join us with your unique creation!

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!!!
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~

Happy Birthday from The Burger Family
I created this for my youngest because these characters feel like family. ;)
Erin Lee Creative You Got This Hot Foil Sentiment, Pear Blossom Press One Light
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~
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.
Please visit our challenge blog to see what my talented teammates paper pieced and join us with your unique creation~

Make A Wish Beautiful Slimline
I love blues and I'm originally an island girl, so this picturesque challenge has me smitten!
Blue pastel Glimmer foil and Tonic Studios Marina Mist Mirror shimmers different shades when you hold it to the light.
These cardstocks are so calming when observed straight on
(subtle and one colour like the sound of the wind).
I used a Stamplorations sentiment which is one of my faves...big and bold and ALL CONNECTED.
There aren't tiny specks to search for with this sentiment die.
Thank you for your sweet visit today~

Cozy Coffee & Snowflake
I had fun pulling together cozy colors and images for a graphic creation.
The following challenges gave me inspiration:
This challenge had me reach for this bold simple snowflake, and match it with a coffee image and sentiment (vertically placed).

Happy Birthday Green Copper
Hero Arts Color Layering Graphic Flowers/Glow Girl sentiment, Monstera Leaf Embossing Folder
Challenges give me a starting point and a deadline...and I need a masculine card next month!
I dug out a couple of older Hero Arts sets for their challenge "Everything Old is New Again".
The graphic flower set is perfect for a masculine card, and the Glow Girl sentiment seemed to fit.
Thank you for your sweet visit today!

Well Groomed Tag Garland
I found the cutest cat/dog paper that's called Well Groomed from Graphic 45.
My daughter is a vet tech, and I created this banner for her awesome boss, for year round décor.
Here's one cutie, and I couldn't pick just one...so I cut ALL the characters I could with Poppy Stamps Main Street Tags.
I added fun ribbon that should wear nicely over the years.
