I've Been Voted Out ~ December SSINK BLOG HOP

 

Welcome to the December Blog Hop over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration!  This month we are creating projects with Christmas in mind and anything goes.  

 

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 #3 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Diana E. Stampin' Fun with Diana. 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.

 

 

So first off let me start by saying, "I am a Survivor fan" and have been since it first aired on TV. Well this year, I joined in a Stampin Survivor group on Facebook.  Myself and 17 other ladies, were paired up with a cast member on this season of Blood vs. Water.  My paired team member was Alec.  Even though I held in for while, all good things must come to an end!  My Alec got voted out last week and was sent home.  Booooo!!!  So here is the fun part of this group:  when ever a person is voted out, that person is to send out a handmade card to the remaining players.  In my case, I get to enjoy 11 cards from previous voted out players.  The person left in till the end, will have received 17 cards.  So I want to share the card I designed and sent out to the remaining 6 players.

 

 

I wanted to use this stamp set in a non traditional way.  Instead of using dark green, I went with a light shade and used pear pizzazz, I also chose crisp cantaloupe for the berries instead of traditional red.  One of the fun things I did with the black/white typeset DSP, is I used my sponge and discolored it with crumb cake ink.  The layout and detail are pretty simple and I wanted the focal to be on the wreath and the gold shimmering "Joy"!

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ pear pizzazz, very vanilla

Ink ~ pear pizzazz, crisp cantaloupe, crumb cake

Stamp set ~ Wondrous Wreath

DSP ~ typeset, gold shimmer paper

Misc. ~ gold sequin trim, crisp cantaloupe twine, wreath framelit set

 

I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas card.  Don't forget to leave some "love" and head on over to visit Darcy at Stampin' DJ, you are just gonna love her holiday project!

Welcome Baby #SSINKCS16

 

Good Monday morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Today I'm over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and its time for an all new card sketch challenge!  We do hope you will get INKspired by our designers to come join us!

 

Here is our fun sketch created by Breelin Renwick.  She is so talented with creating our sketches!

 

One of the parents, that I babysit for is expecting their second child in about a month and well I needed a baby card to welcome "him" here.  The "and many more" stamp set worked perfect for the sentiment banners I created.  I just love the "B" as the main focal point.  I tied on some baked brown sugar and gold bakers twine to help accent it.

 

Supplies Used

 Cardstock ~ coastal cabana, hello honey, baked brown sugar

Ink ~ baked brown sugar

Stamp set ~ And Many More

DSP ~ Lullaby

Misc. ~ banner punch, basic bling, coastal cabana blendabilities, baked brown sugar twine, gold bakers twine

Ornamental Pine Color Challenge #CYCI48

Bright & Beautiful Gift Tag

 

Thank you for stopping by to visit me here at Ink a Doodle Creations.  Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and we are sharing gift tags with you.  I mean what's a pretty package without a pretty gift tag to go with it?

 

I started out making this cute but knew it needed a nice tag to go with it.  I used the angled tag topper punch and cut a piece of cardstock in very vanilla to measure 2" x 4-1/2".  Then I cut another piece in early espresso to measure 2" x 2-1/4".  I angled the two together and attached with some adhesive.  I used the bright and beautiful star stamp set to stamp one in cherry cobbler and cut it as well as a smaller star in gold glitter paper with the matching star framelit set.  The "JOY" letters come from the extra chipboard letters I had left over from the watercolor winter simply created card kit.  Its the kit I used to make my family Christmas cards this year.  It came with a lot of extras, so I put them to good use.  I threaded a piece of cherry cobber seam binding ribbon thru the tag whole and tied the ends together with gold bakers twine.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ very vanilla, early espresso, gold glitter paper

Ink ~ cherry cobber, early espresso

Stamp sets ~ bright and beautiful

Misc. ~ gold bakers twine, cherry cobbler seam binding ribbon

December Color Challenge #SSINKCC16

 

Good Monday morning!  Its not only December 1st but its the 1st Monday of the month and its time for another color challenge over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  I just love this combination and I hope you will too.  So get to creating and come play along with us this week!

 

So I love Christmas and all, matter of fact I'm in the middle of decorating now, but I will be honest to say, I needed to move on from so many recent Christmas/holiday cards.  I wanted to create a different style card, so I pulled out a set I haven't played with in a while.  Kinda Eclectic is one of my favorites from the full catalog.  There is just so much you can create with it.

 

I have a couple December birthdays coming up, so I decided to create and fun and stylish birthday card with it, mixed also with a little Works of Art.

 

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ whisper white

Ink ~ lost lagoon, cherry cobbler and basic black

Stamp sets ~ work of art, kinda eclectic

Misc. ~ black bakers twine, rhinestones, cherry cobbler blendabilities, basics hodgepodge clips

Punches ~ elegant butterfly and bitty butterfly

 

Again, thanks for stopping by.  Don't forget to head on over to our main blog site to see what the other designers have created.  We hope to INKspire you to play along with us.
