Etsy Inspired White on White

This is my last week with the Etsy Inspired Challenge.  I have had so much fun and really forced myself to work outside my normal box. I love exercising my stamping muscles (especially since those are the only muscles getting any exercise lately ;))


This week the Inspiration Shop is:

Any 5x7 print of winner's choice

All the layers and patterns on top of pattern just add so much texture and draw your eye into each picture.  I love it.

InStyle Stamps Sneak Peak & a Sketch

It’s Sneak Week over at the InStyle Stamps Blog.  I used this month’s sketch to make a card for you.

 

Here is the sketch so that you can play along:

And with the scraps of the Green at Heart from BasicGrey I made another card.

The stamp set is called Patty’s Appreciation and has several adorable stamps to help you say Thank You.  Be sure to stop by and put it in your basket on Friday. 

Friday Fun Book Challenge

This week Jimmi says: Book Challenge, make a card or other paper crafted project based upon and/or inspired by the book you are reading or last read (or a favorite).  Well, I did actually read a novel back in December, but it was a crime novel so not much I could use for inspiration.  The last BOOK I read was one of P’nut’s favorites called “Five Little Ladybugs,” she picked that as her bed time story last night.  So this card is based on that book.

 

I know, I didn’t actually stamp on this card again.   What is up with THAT?  Anyway, there are 5 tiny ladybug brads in the center strip hiding among the holes of the circle border punch.  This is a nice 5 minute card that can be sent any time but would also make a great Valentine’s Day card for your Love Bug.

Check out what the other Friday Fun Chicks have done.

Have a GREAT week!

They Called It Puppy Love

I have had puppy envy for a while now.  I so miss my dear German Shepherd Maggie who passed last year, and it seems everyone I know has gotten a puppy this year, so maybe once I get Peanut potty trained I will be ready to start over with a puppy.  This card could be used as a welcome new puppy card or a Valentine or just for anyone who loves dogs.

This is my last card for November for InStyle Stamps (just under the wire ;) )   

Supplies
Copic Markers, Neenah white CS, Offray Satin Ribbon, Dog Bone Brads from Eyelet Outlet, BasicGrey Olivia DP

Paper Cupcake- Who's Candy

I am very excited to show you all my latest creation using Paper Cupcake's Who's Candy image which is the freebie image on the blog today.  Our challenge today was to make a card using ribbon and glitter, OH DARN, what a challenge.  Here is what I came up with:

I appologize that I am not sure the name of the dp, but I was thrilled to discover that the brads I got at Eyelet Outlet matched the image and the paper so well.  I added Stickles to the gumdrops and lollipops, and I used my Stardust gel pen to outline all the snowy parts.  This card is very shimmery.
