Oh Whale!

 Good Sunday morning to everyone! One more project to post today. Isn't he cute??? The fun detail on this card is the tulle that I put behind the punched holes. I first stamped the coral piece with Crumb Cake, then I picked a few embellishments from the Oh Whale embosslit for interest. The tulle is taped to the back of the DSP. All you have to do then is line up the circles. Would be super cute in any color really.

 Here is a close up pic of the tulle detail.

For the inside, I used the punched out circles for some interest. After I had glued them down I thought I should have used the wave wheel first and then taped them. When the ladies did that it was soooo super cute!! Hope you enjoyed the project today. Have a great Sunday!

Pansies

 Good morning everyone. Doesn't this card make you feel like spring, even though summer is right around the corner???  I just love this card! Was so much fun to make. I had tried to make these pansies multiple times and always struggled until I figured out that you need some kind of watercolor paper. My favorite paper that Stampin Up sells is the Naturals Ivory and Naturals White. They both act like watercolor paper. I also love all the speckles they have, it is like adding texture without embossing. I also sparkled the flowers a little with some shimmer spritz.

Don't forget to decorate the insides of your cards ladies! Even if it just some simple texture. Hope you enjoyed the project today. Have a great weekend.

March Paper Pumpkin

Well hello there strangers!! I am so sorry I suck this bad at this whole blogging thing. I can't even promise anymore that I will try to do better because it just doesn't happen. Anyhoo, glad to be posting today. I finished my version of the Paper Pumpkin cards a while ago but just haven't gotten around to posting the pics. My intention was to inspire everyone with what you can do differently with your monthly Paper Pumpkin and post pics (much sooner than I did this time). I happen to get my April shipment today and got so excited again!!! The possibilities are endless! I had a blast creating these cards and would encourage all of you to join in the fun! It was a few posts ago that I posted a picture of the samples that came with the kit for March (http://iinktherforeiam.blogspot.com/2013/01/paper-pumpkin-1.html). Here are my versions using the  products provided and anything else that inspired me.

By the Tide

 Gotta love a card that can be used for just about anything right??? Male birthday, thank you, just to say hi, etc. I didn't stamp any sentiment for that very reason. I can pull this card out for any occasion! Hope you like it!

If you have any questions about how I made this card or products I used just shoot me an email. Have a great weekend!

Swallowtail

 Don't you just love this stamp????? Gorgeous!!! I used the technique you see in the catalog. After embossing with pool party,  I watercolored with the shimmer paint. I also shimmered the tag on the front and the small butterfly on the inside. Hope you like it!

Any question about how I made this card or products I used just shoot me an email! Have a great weekend.

Long time no inspiration.......

Lots of embellishments. Hope you like it!

Paper Pumpkin #1

Good morning ladies. Just wanted to share a photo graciously posted by Rachel Davies (thanks Rachel!). It is a sample of the cards she made with the first shipment of Paper Pumpkin. Now I am not sure how she got it already, probably gave everyone a set at the Leadership conference. They don't begin shipping until mid March. Just thought you might want to see what the kits might look like and what you could do with all your creative juices. Super cute right? Can't wait to get mine! Have a great day all.
