When I saw this week’s Inspired By challenge I knew it would be a good excuse to use my new Pink and Main Box of Donuts Dies. thus I was inspired by the donuts 😊 I had fun putting this together as it gave me an excuse to use some of my beads and confetti that has been sitting in my stash just waiting for the right project. It was also a good way to use up some of my scraps.
Here’s this week’s inspiration and I am also playing along with the Simon Says challenge – Anything goes
When I saw the sketch from CAS colors and sketches, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use. I thought the Windowsill Woodlands from Unity would work well. What do you think?
The paper and hello die are from Echo Park. I mounted the animals on foam squares.
The stamp set is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!
Now here’s the sketch:
There’s another weather challenge and this one is from Simon Says. Of course I thought of Echo Park Paper again and this time I used the You Are My Sunshine collection.
So many fun bright papers in this set. I adhered the stickers to scrap paper so I could mount on foam squares. The Hello Die is also from Echo Park
I used one of my sketches, which you can find here
I’m playing along with no
The Addicted to CAS challenge is weather and I thought of the Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella, so many sweet images!
I fussy cut the goose sentiment and sun all from one of the 3X4 cards in the paper pack. The Smile was from another card. The goose and sun are mounted on foam squares for dimension. The paper strip at the bottom was a scrap that was ripped already, I just cut it to the right size. It is such pretty paper.
I just adore this new Clever Cottontail stamp from Unity. I knew when I saw it I was going to dig out some old CTMH papers as I knew they would be perfect.
They are both very similar just a slightly different sketch. And I am happy to say, both were made with scraps ie. I didn’t cut any 12 X 12 papers LOL
I thought this second card would make a funny retirement card, thus the addition of the coffee mug. The atom die is from Echo Park paper
Now go grab this stamp set while it is on sale!
The new Inspired By challenge is up and of course being a tea drinker, I had to go with the theme. I dug out my very old Papertrey Ink Stamp as I thought it was perfect for this (do you have this stamp set?) and I paired it with the Mom’s Kitchen collection from Echo Park. I used my scallop punch to make the flowered paper look like a table cloth. I mounted the tea pots on foam squares and topped off with some old Papertrey Ink buttons.
Would love for you to come play along with us and there’s a new group on Facebook called Craft your Stash – a place to encourage you to use some of your old/uninked/ neglected… anything
I’m playing along with some friends who have come up with the #craftyourstash2026.
The idea is to use up old stuff in your stash, use an un inked stamp, use an old die…
I have used some old Simple Stories papers along with this new Shear Surprise stamp from Unity. Which of course I paired with the Thinking Out Loud set
That chicken wire die is one of my favorites and I have had it for many years! I definitely am on the hunt for another one
I am sharing another card with this fun Little Weirdo Stamp Set from Unity. This time I paired it with the It’s My Birthday collection from Echo Park and the stamped sentiment is the Say it Loud and Clear stamp from Unity as well
I mounted the bird on foam squares for some dimension and again did add Liquid Glass to his eyes.
Oh and both of these Unity stamps are on sale right now! Click on the image below for direct link!
When I first saw this new Unity stamp Little Weirdo I absolutely loved it! I think there’s so many ways you could use this, (I have another idea I am going to try today) he’s just so fun and cute don’t you think?
I have paired it with the You Are My Sunshine kit from Echo Park – love how bright and happy this kit is. I added Liquid Glass to his eyes for some added detail and fun (I miss CTMH – what do you use now instead of liquid glass?) Of course, I had to add the Thinking Out Loud speech bubble because it works so well with this. I got the Just Sayin’ from Simon Says.
Now go grab this Unity Stamp while it is on sale (click on image below for link)
A new Inspired By Challenge is up and this week I was inspired by the berries. I used this Clip Art Image – Chocolate Valentine’s Day as I needed something quick and these were just so yummy looking.
I just felt like making a tall skinny card as it had been awhile and I dug into some hoarded old CTMH paper – love this set and now I don’t have much left. The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life. Of course I mounted the strawberries and sentiment on foam squares.
Here’s the Clip Art image if you are interested:
Now we would love to see how you are inspired!
