Fabulous Florals

Good morning!  Today at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we are sharing some fun floral ideas.  I love that we have so many fun options with that are floral.  Today I am sharing a card made with our Share What You Love sweet.  You will be able to purchase the products from this suite as a special pre-release starting on May 1st.

For my card I started with a Rich Razzleberry card base.  I added two mats from the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I also have a strip of Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon.  My stamped flowers were done on Whisper White, cut out with the Stitched Shapes framelits, and matted in Old Olive cut out with the Layering Circle Framelits.  My greeting was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto a label found in the Share What You Love Embellishment kit.  I finished off the card with a few Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Be sure to head over to the SSInkspiration blog to see what the rest of the team designed.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

12 Weeks of Christmas #8

Hello everyone!  It is Thursday, which means it is time for another 12 weeks of Christmas post.  The holidays are starting to feel a lot closer now.  We are officially into November, and I am doing my first holiday bazaar today.

Today, I am sharing a set of Christmas cards.  This is a set of five cards, that mostly feature products from the Merry Little Christmas suite, and are packaged in an Acetate Card Box.  I embossed the box with the Winter Wonder embossing folder, before wrapping it in ribbon.

Here is my project:

The fun acetate card boxes are the best way to give someone a set of cards.  Five cards, and envelopes fit inside the box.  Next, I show you a closer look at each of the cards inside.

That is all I have to share for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

SSInk - Case the DT - Diana Eichfeld

Hello everyone!  Today over at SSInkspiration it is Case the Design Team member day.  Today we are all casing the fabulous Diana Eichfeld.  Diana is a contracts manager in Bristow, Virginia who is also a very talented demonstrator.  She is an avid runner, and recently completed the Prince William Half Marathon.  Diana is also a big Disney fan, and being a fan myself, I decided to CASE a Disney themed birthday card that she made.

Here is Diana's card:

Here is my card:

I changed up the colors a little bit, but kept the overall design.  I love this card!  My card started, like Diana's with a Pool Party card base.  Then I have an Real Red layer ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"), that was embossed with the Sparkle embossing folder.  My Minnie Mouse head was made using the Layering Circle Framelits, and Basic Black cardstock.  I added a bow with the Daffodil Delight 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon.  Like Diana, I also used a partial Lots of Labels framelits for my greeting.  But, I did not have the exact greeting that she used, so mine came from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

That is all I have to share for today.  Please be sure to head on over to the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog to see how the rest of the design team has CASE-d Diana.
