Mystery Challenge

Actually this is a Mystery Supply Challenge. Each designer sent three items to another designer on the team and then we were to create a project with the supplies we were given. I took a picture of the supplies before I started and have included it below. They included a button in Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder 1" Dotted Lace Trim and Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack. I was able to add other supplies and since I need to make some happy mail to send off to my daughter I went with a donut fun theme. I didn't use any stamps.

Other supplies include: Bermuda Bay Card Stock, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Zig Zag Embossing Folder, Hello You Framelits, Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Banner Triple Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Watermelon Wonder Ink Pad and Whisper White Baker's Twine. I hope you will take a moment to check out the other cards the team has made at SSINKspiration.

Bring on the Bling

Today we are sharing a little bling. I made this card for last weeks post but do to some computer issues I wasn't able to share it with you. I used the new Tin of Cards Project Kit. I love this kit and then I used the Remembering your Birthday Stamp Set. I changed up the design just a bit and decided to add a bit of sparkle on the butterflies with 2 way glue and Dazzling Diamonds. I have all ready given this card away or I would have added a bit more bling on each butterfly and on the Happy Birthday. I hope you enjoy today's card and now that I have a computer again I hope to get back into the posting and sharing of projects. Thanks!

Tags

Today the design team is featuring tags and I decided to join them with a fun Birthday tag. I used the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and four different punches to create this tag. The colors are from the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack which is a new 6x6 size. I love the new 1" Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder and can't wait to get some of the other colors. The punches I used are the new Banner Triple punch, Scalloped Tag Topper, Tree Builder Punch and the Washi Label punch that I just got this last week. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

June Card Sketch

This month I decided to take part in the SSINKspiration Card Sketch. I decided to use the Butterflies Thinlits since I haven't played with them much. The colors are Watermelon Wonder, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky and Whisper white. I used Watercolor paper to cut out the butterfly then added color with an Aquapainter. The sentiment is from the Crazy about You Stamp Set. I added some bling and the card is done. Quick and simple yet pretty. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Banner Punch

Today's card features I lot of new products but we are focusing on the new Banner Punch. I love how easy it is to layer and use it for different sizes of paper. The other supplies include: Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set, Tree Builder Punch, Early Espresso Ink and Card Stock, Mint Macaron Ink and Card Stock, Tip Top Taupe Ink and Card Stock, Watermelon Wonder Ink and Card Stock and So Saffron Ink and Card Stock. Be sure and check out the other card on the team blog and thanks for stopping by.

Retiring Friday Favorites

Today is the last Friday Favorite post for the current catalog which means we are sharing our favorite retiring items. For me it is the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. I love the colors which are Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Sahara Sand. I used the Scallop Border Punch which is also retiring and the Hello Honey 3/8" Stitched Ribbon. I used the One Tag Fits all Stamp Set and the coordinating punch. The scalloped tag punch also came in handy and matches the other punch well. I only used markers for this card which makes for quick stamping. I hope you enjoyed the card and that you take the time to check out the other designers.

Single Layer Card

The design team is sharing single layer cards today and I had this one that seemed perfect. I used one half sheet of Whisper White Card Stock. Two ink pads and three stamps each inked once to create this card. It really doesn't get much easier than this. The stamp set is Work of Art and I stamped the thank you for Blackberry Bliss. The chevron was created by inking once and then stamping multiple times without reinking. Each time you stamp a little ink is removed making the next stamped image just a bit lighter. I love how easy this look is to create but yet it packs a big punch. Be sure and check out what the rest of the designer have to share today and thanks for stopping by.

Casing Kim

Today the challenge was to case a fellow designer. I picked the card below from Kim Ryden. I really liked the simplicity of it and who can't use thank you cards. I used the Another Thank you Stamp Set for my card and used a butterfly instead of a flower. I also changed up the colors just a bit but the layout is the same. I hope you check out the other designers cards and that you enjoyed today's CASE.

Let's Get Patriotic

Today the Design Team is sharing Patriotic Projects and I have one to share with you as well.The colors I decided to use are Night of Navy, Real Red and Whisper White. I sponged the Real Red and Night of Navy onto Whisper White Card Stock and then add the stars with the Craft White and a sponge dauber. I love our sponge daubers and really can't recommend them enough if you enjoy sponging. To finish off the card I used the happy which was cut from Glitter Paper. Hard to tell that in the photo but I promise is is sparkly in real life. For gluing the happy on you really can't go wrong with our 2 way glue. It makes getting into the small areas easy. I hope you take a moment to see what the other designers have created and thanks for stopping by!
