SSINK - Case the DT Member - Cheryl Hamilton

Hello everyone!   

At Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we are starting a new feature.  On the first Friday of each month we will take turns CASE-ing one of our lovely design team members.  We are starting out with my friend, Cheryl Hamilton.

Cheryl was raised on Oahu and has lived on Maui for about 30 years.  She & her husband, Pat, have 2 daughters that are in their 20's.  Cheryl is a nurse who is happily working part time so that she can spend plenty of time with her favorite hobby...stampin'!

Be sure & visit Cheryl's blog:  www.createwithcheryl.me

I decided to CASE a card that Cheryl posted on May 29th.  I love this card because it is quick and easy, and I am always looking for more masculine card ideas.

Here is my card:

SSInk Inkspiration Challenge!

Hello Everyone!

Monday means it is time for another challenge over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration!  Today we have a fun Inkspiration Challenge for you.  My daughter loved the inspiration photo so much that she wants to make it her background on her phone.

I just love this gorgeous winter scene!  

Here is my card:

I did a lot of sponging to make my background.  I used Soft Sky and Smoky Slate for the ground.  The sun is Daffodil Delight and Delightful Dijon.  The sky is Soft Sky.  I used post-it notes to mask off a road.  I decided to leave the road white, and not put any color on it.

Then, to make the road stand out a bit more, I decided to cover the road, and some tree branches with the Clear Wink of Stella Pen.  I <3 of="" p="" stella="" wink="">

That is all I have for you today!  

Thanks for stopping by!

SUO Thanks & Thanksgiving Challenge

Today I decided I wanted to play along with the SUOnly challenge.  Right now, they have a Thanks & Thanksgiving challenge going on.  

I was not sure what kind of card I wanted to do.  My daughter loves to help me when I am crafting and she had an idea, so I decided to go with that.  She wanted a tree, with leaves in all the fall colors.

I chose to use one of the trees from Lovely as a Tree. I did the different colors with markers.

Here is my card:

I'm really happy with how the card turned out, and the bonding time with my tween.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Lovely as a Tree

This stamp set is great for all kinds of cards, for all kinds of sentiments, for just about any season!  Did you know it is one of the top all time selling stamp sets?  It has to be because it is so versatile!  But, as I already mentioned, fall is my favorite season -so this card shows how great the set looks in the fall.  This card is a swap I received.  I love that she color the tree by using two different pads.  Great idea!  This card was made by the talented Tammy Johnson.
