Celebrate Love Mouse

Good morning!  We are back with another challenge this week over at Inspired By card challenges.

This week, I was inspired by:

the colors

the pillow design (color to white)

the patchwork (patterned paper selection looks like the patterned block from the patches) 

Celebrate Love Mouse Card

 I layered a piece of vellum over the patterned paper to mute the blocks a little, it added a soft touch to the background and I loved the result.

And here is the beautiful inspiration!

Check out the work from the team HERE this week, amazing as always!

Love ya bunny card

I am back this week with another card "Inspired By" one of the cards from THIS GALLERY.  I had such a hard time choosing again this week because there are so many awesome designs and so many things to love about so many of the cards.  

This week, I chose a card by Jenny (check out her awesome blog too).  I love her design so much (theme too, but I need to create a Valentine card for one of my little ones and this was the perfect inspiration to do so).  

Here is her beautiful card

And here's the card I created, inspired by her design

Love Ya Bunny card

 The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Big Scripty stamp set and dies

Check out the amazing gallery HERE, it is filled with inspiration from so many talented crafters!

Date Night

Good morning!  We are back with another challenge this week over at Inspired By card challenges.

This week, I was inspired by:

the theme

Date Night Valentine Card

I used this CUTE digital stamp from DigiKika, Picked Rasberry Distressed Ink (to create the heart background), and cut a bow from Birthday Bouquet Dies from Ink to Paper.

The rest of the team's creations are amazing and I hope you check them out!

Thank you for visiting!

Inspired By Day Filled with Joy

Good morning!  We are back with another challenge this week over at Inspired By card challenges.

I wish I hadn't been sick this week with a head cold because I would've created several cards (I still may come back to this one because it just makes me so happy and I can think of so many other cards when I look at it)  

I digress, sorry.

This week, I was inspired by:

The gorgeous flowers

The xos

The placement of the items on the runner

The black on white striking combo with pink splashes

May Your Day Be Filled with Joy Card

Every week the challenge photos are so amazing, every single week, and this week just made me gasp.  See what I mean?

I angled the sentiment strips to resemble the xos on the table runner.
I die-cut the bow from the Ink to Paper Birthday Bouquet dies, love them.

I loved the xos all over the table runner but decided that I would allow one, ombre distressed "xo", to make my statement since my card wasn't intended to be a valentine card.  I decided to use the negative strip too and adhere the "x" on top of the strip and the "o" peeking out behind the strip.

I wanted to make sure to add the touches of black back into the white space, so I decided to stamp my sentiment from the new Ink to Paper It's a Sign Birthday set in black and allow it to represent more of the "xos".

The rest of the team's creations are amazing and I hope you check them out!

IB Gallery Inspiration Week 3

I am back this week with another card "Inspired By" one of the cards from THIS GALLERY.  I had such a hard time choosing again this week because there are so many awesome designs and so many things to love about so many of the cards.  

This week, I chose a card by Cat Craig (check out her awesome blog too).  I love her design so much (theme too, but I need to create a baby card and this was the perfect inspiration to do so).  What really drew me was the angled scallop separating the sentiment from the patterned paper.  I haven't created an angled card in awhile and her card reminded me how much I love these kinds of designs, her card is just awesome!  Here is her awesome card that inspired me this week

And here is my baby card I created inspired by her card.

hello ♥ world ♥ card

My card was also inspired by the baby shower announcement below that I received for one of my son's best friends. 

I cut the feathers using my Silhouette Cameo.  I then used some inks to distress the feathers to match the announcement. 

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Bouquet

We are back with another challenge over at Inspired By.  I love this challenge picture because it is so very pretty and can be interpreted so many ways.

I was inspired by the colors, the framing, the gallery of frames/elements and ampersand and the flowers (pretty much everything...smile)

Here is the beautiful prompt

And here is my card inspired by the photo

Happy Bouquet card

I was really excited to be able to use the Ink to Paper Birthday Bouquet stamp set for this card, so beautiful!

I cut a decorative frame and ampersand and then added some interest with a little paint.

Make sure to check out the DT creations this week, they are so inspiring!

Critter Cards

 Good evening, my last post of the night.  

We had today off of work so I am trying to be productive in a lot of areas.  

I am back to share a couple of cards created for a new-to-me challenge over at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenges.  I am happy to find this fun challenge site because I am always creating cards with "critters" and the challenge is to "create anything with a critter as the focal on it". (yay)

Wonderful Birthday card

For this card, I used Lili of The Valley Rabbit with Daisy digital stamp.  I love this cute bunny and her cute daisy

Happy Birthday card

For this card, I used Lili of The Valley Rabbit with Daisy digital stamp again and added large Scripty Words stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn
