Heartfelt Creations Inspiration

Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a great week so far.  Today I have a card I made with this beautiful image and die from Heartfelt Creations, I made it a  while back but forgot to post it.  I started by embossing a couple of strips of patterned paper with an embossing folder and shading the embossed areas with distress ink.

I stamped this wonderful image from "Outside My Window" set on kraft cardstock with embossing ink and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, I cut and embossed the image with a Spellbinders die, making sure to add some shading with distress ink before I removed the die from the cardstock.  I used the "Decorative Chateau Gate" die for the decorative swirls at the top and bottom of the stamped image.

This is the sketch I used as inspiration for the layout of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful and creative day.

"You Rock" Inky Style

Good Sunday morning everyone, today is my first inspirational post for Inky Impressions and I have a fun card to share with you.  I used non other than Mr. "Rock N' Roll Donnie", he is just too cute ;o)  My DD said he was the cutest and that she wanted her birthday card made with this image.  

First off, the Inky Challenge Blog posted a new challenge on Wednesday, "Dress To Impress", so guess what, I dressed up my card pretty good, flowers, lots of layering and bling. 

I stamped the image twice on Wausau paper and colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS, I cut the base image with a circle die from Spellbinders, the second image I cut with scissors and adhered with pop dots.

The little tags I cut with a die from Cuttlebug and applied some rub-ons to make the sentiment.  I layered a couple of flowers, adhered a button and on top of it I adhered an adhesive black rhinestone.  I also attached the little guitar charm which is available at the Inky store here.  Oh, and don't forget some final touches with some black rhinestones.

My inspiration for the layout of my card was this sketch challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

Thank you so much for visiting today and have a great day.

Stampin' D'Amour Friday

Good morning and welcome to my Friday post with Stampin' D'Amour.  Today I have a fun birthday card full of bright happy colors, I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the "Fabulous Birthday" clear stamp set from Stampin' D'Amour.  The layout of the card is based on the sketch from VLV, July week 1, great sketch and lots of fun to work with.  The paper is from an old collection by Making Memories called "Emery", I paired it with red cardstock.  Used some white seam binding for the bow, the scalloped edge on the circle I created with a Martha Stewart border punch.

The little doily looking flowers I made with a border punch from EK Success called "Abstract Flower Chain", I adhered with a pop dot and added a button for the center.  I also added some Stickles to the edges of all the patterned paper layers for a touch of sparkle.

Thank you so much for stoping by and hope you have a wonderful day.

PPRS & A Fun Sketch

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog, it's time for some Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps, today I have a card full of bright colors featuring several stamps from PPRS.  The layout of the card was inspired by the VLV June sketch week 3 challenge over at SCS.  Lots of layering on this card, the green paper was embossed with an embossing folder called "Victoria" from Cuttlebug, I used a border punch from Fiskars for the scalloped border and layered twice.

The flowers I made with the stamps and coordinating dies from the "Blobby Flowers" clear stamp set, I just shaped the edges slightly with an embossing tool for a little dimension.  I also used the leaves image from "Blobby Flowers", stamped it on patterned paper with green ink and cut out with scissors.  The dragonfly is from the "Dragonflies" clear stamp set, I stamped it twice on patterned paper with black ink, cut and added some stickles to the wings.

Thank you for stoping by and until next time, have a great day.

Birthday Card and VLV Sketch

Hi everyone, I have a quick post today, I made this card yesterday for the Viva La Verve sketch challenge over at SCS.  I wanted a masculine card, so I kept the design very simple and clean, and I found my self having a really hard time with it, I'm so used to putting ribbon and pearls, flowers and all kinds of embellishments, that when it comes to making a masculine card or a CAS card I get stuck.  Used some papers from Basic Grey, the embossing diamond pattern on the blue paper was made with an embossing folder from Sizzix.  I stamped the birthday sentiment on white vellum and placed over the cutout blue paper which I stamped with a clock image from a Tim Holtz stamp set.

The red swirl border was made with a border punch from EK Success called "Scroll Chain".  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Scrappy Cat (Birthday Wishes), Tim Holtz (Life's Possibilities)
Inks:  Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black), Distress Ink (weathered wood), Brilliance ink (Graphite Black)

Fashionable Ladies

Hi everyone, welcome to another Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Monday.  Today I have a card I created with this beautiful stamps from PPRS, the stamp is called "Fashionable Ladies ATC", love the elegant vintage design of it.  I paired this image with some papers from the "Tres Jolie" line from MME, some pretty lace, a paper rose, ribbon, and lots of pearls.

I distressed all the paper with walnut stain distress ink, and matted a couple of them with a dark brown Bazzill cardstock.

I stamped the image on patterned paper with Graphite Black ink, inked the edges and matted with a light pink patterned paper.  I added some tiny adhesive pearls.

I took a piece of ribbon and gathered to make the circular shape, glued down with Fabri-Tac and adhered the paper rose on top.  I punched some little branches with the MS punch and added some Stickles to the rose and branches for sparkle.

This is the sketch I used as my layout inspiration, loved all the layering in it.  Thank you so much for stoping by and hope you come back soon.
