Feminine Friday at SSINK

 

Good Friday morning.  Today I am creating over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  Today its all about being feminine.  So let me begin by saying this card was created in error.  I created it for what I thought was this months card sketch, but well....I was a month late.  SURPRISE...it was last months sketch, but oh well...its never to late to share something creative and beautiful!

 

 

I skipped out on getting the July Paper Pumpkin kit (what in the world, I know, why did I do that?!)  Well thanks to my BFFF, Breelin, she knew I wanted it and surprised me with the kit at convention.  For some reason I just love this super cute flower stamp set that it came with.  So much that I used it on this card.  It goes well with the pretty petals DSP stack.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ very vanilla, basic black

DSP ~ pretty petals

Ink ~ calypso coral, basic black, mint macaron

Stamp set ~ July Paper Pumpkin kit 2015

Misc. ~ very vintage buttons, natural twine, embossing folder

 

A Paper Pumpkin Mothers Day Greeting

 

Good morning!  Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and we are sharing projects created from those wonderful little red boxes that get delivered to our door step each month!  Come on now, I know you know what I'm talking about!  You don't?!?!  Well read on and see what its all about.

 

 

So at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership this past January, all demos who attended were given the choice of two different kits to pick from to take home.  I chose the framed love kit since I had missed out on getting this one when it came out.  I love the little photo frame, but what I love most is that you're able to take the supplies and stamp set and create other things such as cards.  I used all supplies from the kit plus I used my own black ink pad for the sentiment and added a little ribbon at the bottom.

A Thanksgiving Thank You #CYCI45

 

Thanks for joining me here with Can You Case It?  Today not only starts a new week, but it also starts a new challenge.  This week, if you choose to except it, is our Thanksgiving Edition.  We want to first of all give a big shout out to all our blog and challenge followers.  You make this possible for us to keep crafting on.  We love seeing what you create each week with our challenges and hope you will keep the creations coming. 

 

 

I saw a cute card on pinterest that was my inspiration for this card, but can't find it now for the life of me.  If you know which card I'm talking of, please leave me a comment, so I can give credit where its due.  I used the cute little petite leaf shapes in the fun fall framelit set to cut out my shapes from the tangelo twist strip.  I then used the cut outs to attach off to the side. 

 

 

My fun element for this card, is the cute little oak leaf from the autumn wooden elements pack.  I inked it up with early espresso ink and tied it on with matching bakers twine.  Its fun how the little small things on a card can add such great and fun detail.

 

Supplies Used

 Cardstock ~ very vanilla, tangelo twist

Ink ~ early espresso

Stamp set ~ October my paper pumpkin sentiment set, gorgeous grunge

Misc. autumn wooden elements, early espresso bakers twine, fun fall framelit set

 

Thanks again for stopping my.  I hope you have enjoyed my project.  Again, thank you for your support of your challenge blog.  Go see what the others have created for inspiration, then go get crafty!

 

 

Still "NO" Pinwheel Wreath for Me?!?

 

Good morning and thanks for joining me here today with Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  Today we are sharing cute projects made using "pinwheels".  I will have to tell ya, that even though I've created things with pinwheels before, it has been so much more fun since the June My Paper Pumpkin kit got delivered to my door step.

 

One of the things I have been wanting to make for my front door was one of these cute clothes pin wreaths.  When I made my last weekly trip to old Wally World, aka (Walmart), its what we people in the South call it!!....I picked myself up a pack of wooden clothespins.  Since I wanted a red, white and blue look since it was for the 4th of July and I didn't have any other DSP that would work, I used the new Martitime DSP.  Boy was that a long run on sentence!!  It worked perfectly, cause it has real red, night of navy and even stars. 

 

I created the three pinwheels from the my paper pumpkin it and attached them to the straws that even come in the kit too, and hot glued them to the side of my wreath.  I also cut out some silver sparkle stars using the new stars framelit set. 

 

So why do I say, "Still NO wreath for my door?"  Well I went to go visit my parents this weekend.  My nephew is getting ready to be deployed out with the Air Force and he surprised my parents with a last visit before he leaves.  We were all there for some family time and a nice relaxing cookout.  Well now back to the subject...the wreath....well I didn't know that my Mom has also been wanting one of these styled wreaths and well I caved in and sold it to her!!!  Luckily for me, the Paper Pumpkin kit came with 24 pinwheels and extra supplies that I have plenty left after all the other projects I've made (details and pics some soon!!) I can easily make myself another tonight.  I guess I just need to go back to Wally World and get another pack of clothespins, haha!!!

 

Supplies Used

DSP ~ Martitime

Misc. ~ silver glitter paper, star framelit set, June My Paper Pumpkin kit, hot glue gun, wooden clothespins
