SSInk October Color Challenge

Today I am playing along with the color challenge from SSInk.  At first, I was a little worried about these colors together - but as I was stamping, I quickly realized that this would be a new "go to" color combination!


Here are the colors from the challenge:

Here's my card:

I was so excited to finally have the chance to use the Paisleys & Posies stamp set!  I knew I loved this set!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ultimate Pink Blog Hop



Welcome to the first ever Ultimate Pink Blog Hop – a collection of ideas from Stampin’ UP! demonstrators all over the globe featuring shades of pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I am so happy to be a part of this blog hop.  I have a simple card, and treat to share with you today.


I love giving little treats with my cards.  I think it just adds a nice extra touch.  I also love how the card and treat together show the great coordination of Stampin' Up! products.  


My tiny little treat box was made with the Envelope Punch Board, that is still on sale for a few more days.   I learned how to make this little box from a YouTube video by Poodles Papercraft.  It is just a 3 1/4" square.  You score and punch at 2" for the first side, and then just line up on the score lines after that.  I put a Hershey Miniature in my little box.  I wrapped my box with Whisper White Baker's Twine to make it look a little more like a tiny package.

I am excited you  are here. To continue to be inspired whether you’ve come from the person previous to me or after me (Nichole Loe) on the list below all participants are listed to help you as you journey among us being filled with pink inspiration.

World Card Making Day!

Hey everyone!!

Over on my Facebook Page, I'm sharing sketch, and color combination ideas.  

The card I am sharing with you right now uses one of each. 

Here is the card sketch I'm using:  (Found on Pinterest.)

This is the color combo I shared:

The In Color Cardstock Packs are on sale for the next couple days!  


Here is the card I came up with:


This fast and simple card was easy to put together, and would brighten anyone's day!

Did you make a card with these colors?  Or the sketch?  I would love to see your card!  You can share on my Facebook Page!

Thanks for stopping by!

#SSInkTCC37 - Tiled Effect

Today, I'm playing along with the challenge posted over at SSInk.  This week they have a technique challenge. I love this technique!

Here's my card:

I did a 1/2" grid for my Whisper White, and then stamped the large flower from Birthday Blooms in Basic Black on top.  I water-colored the image using my aquapainter and some reinkers.  


Just for fun, when my image was dry, I highlighted some of the flower, and all of the words with my clear Wink of Stella pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
