Celebrate with Cake! #FM195

Good Friday morning!  Today I am still in Florida at Stampin' Up's! Leadership training and having so much fun!  But before I start a new day of exciting things, its time for an all new challenge at The Friday Mashup.  Avery sure has created a fun challenge for us, so go grab those toys and play along with us.

 

This week's Mashup Challenge is:

• Create a project with the "Sketch". 
• Create a project with "2 different embellishments". 
• or Mash it Up! and create a project "with the Sketch and different embellishments".

 

I had so much fun with this sketch.  It really gave me a chance to dig into my supplies of embellishments and get creative.  I hope you have enjoyed my card, leave some "love" and go inspired by our other designers!

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ night of navy, whisper white

Ink ~ night of navy, crushed curry, calypso coral

Stamp set ~big day

You're A Classic - Masculine Monday at SSINK

 

Good morning!  Thanks for stopping by to visit me here at Ink a Doodle Creations.  Today I am over at SSINKspiration and its Masculine Monday.  You won't see me play along with this design challenge often, cause...well...I'm just not good at masculine cards.  Its hard when my access to  masculine themed stamp sets are limited.  It makes me put my extra thinking cap on and by the end of the day, with watching 3-4 kids, that can be difficult, but I think you will be proud of the quick and easy card that I came up with. 

 

I love it when DSP can be so detailed that you don't really need any stamping but a sentiment.  One of the reasons I enjoy Typeset DSP, is that it is full of wonderful detailed paper.  Maps, newspaper ads, etc. to make any card a beautiful card.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ very vanilla, basic black, crumb cake

Ink ~ basic black

DSP ~ typeset

Stamp set ~ petite pairs

Misc. ~ neutral candy dots, banner punch, natural twine, ticket tag punch 

Coffee Warms My Heart #CYCI54

Good morning, hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend so far!  I have. Spent yesterday running errands and stocking the house with groceries for my departure next Wednesday.  Where am I going, you ask?  Well, let me tell you, I am headed out to the air port all bright and early to fly myself away to Florida for Stampin' Up! Leadership training and to have fun, fun, fun with my friend Breelin.  We are going to have an awesome time!  Now back to today, today I am sharing my project for the Designers Choice Challenge at Can You Case It?  So put your thinking caps on, grab a sketch, color combo, its your choice.  Create that fun project of any kind and link it up to our challenge!

 

I was scanning thru Pinterest the other day and came across this lovely card created by:  Wanda Guess and just loved the theme (COFFEE) and the sketch.  I put my thinking cup on (that means, I fixed myself a cup of coffee!) and went to town to CAS(E) her card.  Here is her card.....

 

and here is my CAS(E)D version....

 

I do love my Stampin' Up! supplies but sometimes I do like to pull out some of my other toys and mix them up together!  One of my favorite contraband stamp sets is the Perk Up coffee themed stamp set by My Favorite Things.  It has a lot of different coffee related sentiments and it works perfect with any kind of coffee cup/mug stamp set or die cuts.  I replaced her circle shapes with hearts and turned my card to be horizontal.  I just love the added bling of the sequins along the sides.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ whisper white, coastal cabana, sahara sand, crushed curry, calypso coral

Ink ~ soft suede, crisp cantaloupe

Stamp set ~ Perk Up

DSP ~ Best Year Ever (SAB paper pack you can earn for FREE with a $50 order)

Misc. ~ crushed curry bakers twine, in color sequins, heart from the circle card thinlit set

Woodsman Valentine #MOJO381 and #HSS203

Good morning, its Friday, Friday, Friday!  Oh what a beautiful day it is too!  One day closer to packing (well I have already done some!) and heading to Florida to attend Stampin' Up!'s Leadership training!  Yesterday I sat down to create a fun card for the sketch at Mojo Monday and combined it with the awesome color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  Both worked great together for creating a masculine Valentine with the Wood You Be Mine stamp set.  I am so glad I got this cutie.  It is so fun to have a nice masculine stamp set to play around with.

   

Here are the two challenges, and here is what I created......

 

 

Using a piece of the black and white DSP from the stacked with love pack and coloring in the hearts with melon mambo was so fun.  It really makes the woodsman stand out nicely with his matching plaid shirt.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ whisper white, melon mambo

Ink ~ basic black, black momento tuxedo, melon mambo

Markers/Blendabilities ~ smoky slate, early espresso, skin tones, soft suede

Stamp set ~ wood you be mine

DSP ~ stacked with love

Misc. ~  woodgrain embossing folder, bright candy dots, circle framelit set
