Friday Favorites!

Hello and welcome to my Friday Favorites post. I had this card made last week and was originally going to share it earlier in the week but another team member made a card with the same set and I decided to hold off and share it for the Friday Favorites. I love how the Wildflower Meadow Stamp Set and coordinating Wildflower Meadow Embossing Folder make it quick and easy to make a card with a lot of wow factor. All you need to do is ink up the stamp, add card stock and then emboss. For this card I just used Crumb Cake and Whisper White. The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and is a great all around sentiment set to have.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Tonya

Reinkers and Embossing

It is my turn to do the post of the day on the SSINKspiration blog but I wanted to share the projects I did for it with you today. If you would like more information you can see it here.  I hope you have a great day and thank for stopping by, Tonya

Sympathy Cards

Hello! Today's post is one that no one likes to have to prepare for but it is always best to have Sympathy cards on hand so that when you do need one you have it. I had a Sympathy Card class last week and the card I am sharing today is one of the ones we made. I used the Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set and kept the colors neutral and subtle. Instead of inking the image with markers so that the flowers could be different colors I opted instead to use the Flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Pack and punched out both Perfect Plum and So Saffron card stock which I added to the card with 2 Way Glue. I used the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and the Victoria Crochet Trim on the card also. I hope you take a moment to stop over at the SSINKspiration Blog and see the other Sympathy Cards the team has to share. 

Create a Flower

Today's Challenge was to create a flower. In our most recent Stampin' Success Magazine they had beautiful flowers on the front cover made with the Fringe Scissors and various Big Shot dies and I knew I wanted to give one a try. I used Coffee Filters for the flower and used reinkers to color them. The center of the flower was made with the Fringe Scissors but the other layers were made with the Floral Framelits. I think this was the first time I have used them and I am not sure why I waited. I was going to make a card but after finishing my flower I decided it was just to big and instead added it to the top of a box to give as a gift. I added a bit of the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper below the flower to make it stand out a bit more. I hope you check out all the other flowers that the design team has created and Thank you for stopping by today! Tonya

Watercolor Wednesday

Hello and welcome to Watercolor Wednesday. I love to watercolor but don't get to do it as often as I would like. Today's card uses just a bit of watercoloring but it really makes the card. I seem to be stuck on this layout but promise to have a new one for you soon. The supplies are listed below but the main featured ones are the Baby We've Grown Stamp Set and the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper. The rest of the Design Team has some great cards to share with you so I hope you take a look and remember you can pin any of our cards so that you have them for future reference. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great Wednesday! Tonya

St. Patty's Day Treat

Hello and welcome to my St. Patrick's Day post for the INKspiration Design Team. I decided a treat was in order and what better candy than Skittles that are just like a fun rainbow. I made the tag with a could of framelits sets and some punches. The colors are Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant, and Gold Card Stock. I embossed the Happy St. Patrick's Day with Gold embossing powder and cut it out with the Bitty Banner Framelits. The grass was made with the Fringe Scissors. The Rainbow and pot are made with the Circle Framelits. I also used Word Window Punch to made the top of the pot and the gold is punched out with the Owl Punch. I tied the bag shut with a bit of Gumball Green Stitched Ribbon and this treat is ready to give to a special person. I hope you take a moment to stop by and see the other Design team projects. Have a great weekend! Tonya 

March Stampin' Stylin' Blog Hop

Thank you so much for joining us for our March Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!  Temperatures are on the rise and there is just one short week until the official first day of Spring!  We are all so ready to put away our snowflakes and break out the flowers in our craft rooms!  Stampin' Up! has so many options for Spring-time flowers and we are showing you just a few of those today!

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number (12) on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop – (Jennifer C. of Happy 2 Scrap Life). If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.
Today's cards feature flowers and I thought I would share cards that feature Sale-a-bration items that have flowers since it will soon be ending. The layouts are similar. The card uses the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, the You're Lovely Stamp Set, and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder all from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. The colors are Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, and Summer Starfruit. Other supplies are Vintage Faceted Buttons, Doilies, Banner Framelits, Deco Labels Framelits, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Silver Glitter Paper, Basic Rhinestones.  

 My next card is a simple card with little stamping that uses the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and the Heartfelt Banner Kit that is free this month. I used Strawberry Slush, Crumb Cake and Basic Black card stock too. The sentiment is stamped with Jet Black but the flowers are all ready on the banner so this card is super quick to put together. I did add just a bit of sparkle on the flowers with the 2 way Glue and the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I hope you enjoyed today's cards and that you travel along and check out the other designers. Have a great day! Tonya

Hello and welcome to our March Sketch. The new Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper is just so pretty and I wanted to showcase it on this sketch. The sentiment is from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set as well as the dots across the bottom of the tag. The flower is from the Petite Petals Stamp Set and I used the Petite Petals Punch and added a Basic Rhinestone. The tag was punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch with just a bit of Silver Ribbon added. The colors I used are Smoky Slate, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.
