TAWS Be Inspired Challenge #52

I made this card for the current Be Inspired Challenge by The Alley Way Stamps. I was inspired by the white and green in the photo. I used the Spell Check and Tiny Treasures stamp sets. I stamped with black Staz On ink. The green paper and marker are Certainly Celery from Stampin' Up. Thanks for stopping by!!

The Play Date Cafe #141

It's time for another great color story from The Play Date Cafe. This week our colors are Mint, Soft Yellow, Coral, and Tulip. For my baby card I used different patterned papers from Stampin' Up, a cute Giraffe stamp from this week's sponsor DRS Designs, and the sentiment is a rub-on from Pebbles. I colored the Giraffe with matching colored Copic Markers - Jade Green, Coral and Pink.

I hope you will play with us this week. These colors are fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with! One lucky winner will receive some awesome stamps from DRS Designs. If you haven't been to their store before, be sure to click over and check them out. They have TONS of super cute stamps.

CAS-ual Fridays - Kraft & Twine

I'm entering this card in the current CAS-ual Friday Challenge. I decide to move away from the holidays and make this cute birth announcement. The Onesie stamp is from Unity and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. The twine is My Minds Eye Lime Twist and the little clothes pins and decorative papers are from Stampin' Up. Thanks for taking a look!

Baby Elephants

I wanted to use these Elephant stickers to make a baby card for this months Paper Crafts Baby Challenge and I couldn't figure out what to do with them. Then, tonight this came to me. I really like it because the black is unexpected for baby, but I think it works.

Materials

Stamp Set - Short & Sweet (Stampin' Up)

Twine - Charcoal - The Twinery

Embossing Folder - Dots (Stampin' Up)

Die - Tasteful Trim (Stampin' Up)

Punches - Word Window, Modern Label (Stampin' Up)

Instructions

1. Make card from card stock

2. Cut a 2 inch strip of black card stock and run through the Tasteful Trim die and adhere to card

3. Place elephant stickers on the card.
