Today's Challenge: Blue and White and something Round!

Make something with the colors Blue and White (other colors are welcome also) and an element that is Round (could be a button, brad, sticker... whatever)! Be creative and have fun!

Here is my project...




I tried three different inks before I found the one I liked. 

Paper is from Paper Heart by Crate Paper, Inks are Stormy Sky (top), Texas Chocolate (left), and Peacock Feathers.  I ended up liking the Stormy Sky best for the stamped image and then the Peacock Feathers for the edges. 

These are little 2.5 x 2.5 Thank you cards for packages.  I think they turned out cute.  Really love the Stormy Sky with this paper.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Denine - Card

Hello Everyone,

Denine here bringing you some quick cards.  I am a big procrastinator, so most of my cards are on the fly... last minute.  I have great intentions to spend a whole day putting together a BUNCH of cards, so I have them handy. That DAY never seems to show up.

Anyhow, here are two cuties I put together while my grandbaby sat in my lap. 


Didn't they turn out cute??  I went with non-traditional Valentine papers because I actually wanted to send them to my hubby's office as 'just because'. 

I combined 2 stamp sets - Bee Mine by Paper Smooches and With Love by Whimsical Design.  They worked great together.  I also used Texas Chocolate ink - love this ink.  My papers are from Traditions and Beautiful Moments - both by Carta Bella.  Carta Bella is one of my favorite paper lines right now.  The texture on their 12 x 12 cardstock is so rich.  I also used Dark Suede Brown Bazzill cardstock which also has a texture.  I would have to say this particular cardstock is my go to as a layer.  The color seems to go with EVERYTHING. 



Here are my other 2 cuties that played with me while I was putting these together. (notice the matching jammies.... hehehe)



Happy Friday and Come back tomorrow for our Weekly Challenge... they are so much fun.  There is still time to enter this weeks Challenge - Coffee/Tea/Cocoa... come play with us.

Hugs,

Today's SPS Inspiration with Saundra ~ Card

Hi there! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!
 
I am so excited to be sharing my project with you today!
 
My project features items that can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice.
 
I've created this cute thank you card.
 
 
For my card, I used these beautiful papers from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Tangerine" 6x6 paper pad. These papers are gorgeous! I love all the beautiful flowers and patterns!
 
 
 I colored this cute little image with my Copic Markers and paper pieced her dress with papers from that same paper pad.

 
I inked all my edges with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye. The butterflies were punched from that same MME paper pad using a Martha Stewart punch. I added some pearls that I had in my stash.
 
I attached my sentiment with My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Sunshine" decorative brads.
 
My sentiment is from My Pink Stampers Girlie Doodles set. It is still available for purchase and it's on sale!
 
Dont' forget to check out the new challenges on the Pumpkin Spice Blog. There is still time to link up a project to the current challenge: Coffee/Cocoa/Tea

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards! For some reason, I was really inspired recently with making itty bitty cards! So here are a couple more that I made - they are 3x3 inches square. SOOOO cute and tiny! I think I'm going to sneak them to my girls sometime...if we didn't home school I would sneak them in a lunchbox...so I might have to just hide them somewhere else!



I used some of my favorite stamps from Shop Pumpkin Spice - Paper Smooches! They are just so cute and versatile. The set I used is We Connect. Full of sweet sentiments to mix and match!


My pattern papers are from Crate Paper's 6x6 Fourteen paper pad - they are BEAUTIFUL for Valentine's Day, and so much more!


I used a Spellbinders Die to cut my shaped card, by folding a piece of cardstock in half, then positioning the die so that it is not covering the fold. I ran it through twice to make sure it cut both layers, which worked perfectly to emboss the front layer too!


I punched the heart out using a paper punch I had in my stash, inked the edges, then covered it with Glossy Accents after attaching it with foam adhesive. Finished off with a bit of Baker's Twine to tie a sweet bow along the top.


Thanks for stopping by to visit today! Have a great day!!!
