Celebrating With Patterned Paper



I have a niece who is celebrating her birthday~


(stamps: Prima Marketing Holiday Bliss  dies:My Favorite Things Inside & Out Stitched Stars/Stitched Hexagons,Spellbinders Classic Circles,Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Banner Duo,Avery Elle Dotted Elle-ments,Papertrey Ink Customer Appreciation Celebrate Big banner)





The yellow patterned paper was a left over piece that I framed the birthday character with.

 I built up from there~


 I hope you are making the most of the day and squeezing in a bit of crafting time!

I have a ton of things to do...but I wanted to get some "me time" in~plus I needed a card!

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :)


Thanks for stopping by~

Pantone Chip Inspiration





Make It Monday #288:Pantone Chip Inspired Cards
hosted by Lexi


If you have the tiniest bits of solid cardstock pieces saved~this is the challenge for you!

I was inspired to create three cards from my solid cardstock remnants.



(SNOWFLAKE CARD: Papertrey Ink What the Doodle Snowflakes/A Thrill of Hope
NOEL CARD:Papertrey Ink Make It Market Tinsel & Tags/In the Meadow/Spruce & Sprigs
AFLOAT CARD:What the Doodle Waves)



 Two of them are CHRISTMAS guys....I'm super super proud of myself for looking ahead. ;)

I'm patting myself on the back for the masculine card too...
 I can almost hear the roar of the crowd's applause!!!

 ðŸ˜†
 

Okay, I'll end my lap around the arena now. ;)

 Thanks for stopping in~

Always True




Sometimes I just want to stamp and have at it...


(stamps: Winnie & Walter In Bloom:Eva's Favorite Flowers/True)



I followed the lead of this inspiration...using the colors and designing floral "stripes" with black highlighted details.

Because I Love You



Flamingo paper followed me home :)
and I wanted to make a just because creation.


(stamp: My Favorite Things Because You  die: My Favorite Things Die-namics Peek-a-Boo Wonky Windows/Because You, Spellbinders Classic Circles  other:washi tape for the stripes)



I used this sketch, but in landscape form, to make room for the script die cut.

Duo With Greens and Touch of Copper




(stamps:Hero Arts Stamp & Cut Flowers,Essentials by Ellen Courage Stamp & Die, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles)



I designed a couple of cards that carry a larger portion of greens and touch of copper (twine) as per the following gorgeous inspiration~



http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2017/06/just-add-ink-364inspiration.html



When I'm tempted by shiny accents at the store~I tend to grab the copper.

It's like the other white meat of shinies, you know?

It gets me out of choosing silver or gold ;).


That's it for me today~thanks for stopping by!
