Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration Blog Hop

Hello!  It's time to take a break from your news station of choice - and do something fun instead!  I've never been so happy to see an election over!  The mud slinging was crazy, on both sides!  So - back to the fun.  Today, we are hopping along with some of the gals from Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration.  The theme for our hop is CASE a Design Team member.  Have you ever heard the term CASE?  It means to Copy and Share everything.  

As you hop along with us, be sure to leave some love for each of the very talented designers on this team.  We all love feedback, and are excited to see what you are loving!  You should have just come here from stop #2 - Pamela, over at Stinky Tofu.  If you get lost in the hop - we all have a complete list of hoppers listed at the bottom of each post.

Ok, enough chit chat, here's my project.

I made a little gift card holder, with a matching card.  The card goes in the back pocket, and the gift card in that front pocket.

In this picture you can see the card, that I decorated to look like the outside.  For my example, I'm keeping my favorite gift card inside.  (My Starbucks card!)

I chose to CASE a project done by my BFF, Jen.  She made her card just last week for the our Friday Favorites: Dies.  You can see her project here, at Faith. Grace. Stamp.  I turned her card into a gift card holder by folding a Kraft Tag A Bag gift bag almost in half.  I embossed the bottom portion with the Cable Knit Dynamic embossing folder.

Next up in the hop is Darcy, from Dj's Stampin' Place.  I know she has something fun to share!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Gingerbread Pleated Skirt

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing a gingerbread pleated skirt card that I made.

Here is my card:

I started with a real red card base.  I added a Whisper White mat, and then worked on my pleated skirt.  I made my pleated skirt with a designer series paper from the Candy Cane Lane pack.  I wanted to make the transition from the dsp to the whisper white look a little more natural so I added a strip of washi tape, and some real red bakers twine.  Then, I just stamped my greeting and added my punched out gingerbread man.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I

SSInk Color Challenge

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend!  I had a great weekend!  A friend and I drove up to Vancouver, BC on Friday.  We then attended the Stampin' Up! OnStage Local event on Saturday.  It was so much fun!  There was lots of chatting, laughing, sharing, the revealing of the Occasions catalog, - and of course PRIZE PATROL's!  I am not allowed to share many details of our event yet - but know that they are coming soon!!  (& worth the wait!)  Here are a few pictures from the event.

Today, over at SSInk, we have a fun color challenge going on!

What do you think of these colors?  Right away, I saw fish, and water.  So, that is what I made.

Here is my card:

I gave my mason jar a glassy effect by covering it with a layer of Fine Tip Glue.  Before it had a chance to dry, I squished my goldfish into the layer to adhere him to the card - without making him glossy.

My background paper came from the Irresistibly Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.  I cut the paper to the size I wanted, and then used my Aqua Painter and Island Indigo ink pad to give the background a washed look.

That is all I have to share today.  I hope Monday is nice to you!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
