Hey everyone, it has been a busy week around here with getting a heat pump installed. I didn’t get as much crafty time as I wanted but sure am grateful for the coolness. Of course, that doesn’t mean ice cream isn’t a cooling down option LOL 

For this week’s Inspired By challenge I was inspired by the theme and colours.

The colours in the Craft Room Collection from Echo Park and since the inspiration photo uses pompoms I thought this collection was perfect… so I used it I paired it with the One Scoop at a Time Unity stamp. I stamped on some of the pattern papers, cut out and mounted on foam squares. I then just added the border sticker to the top and bottom. 

Can’t wait to see how you are inspired!

It’s Thursday so that means another Inspired By Challenge is up. Have you been creating Easter cards? I was going to go with the bunny theme (and who knows, I just may create another card!) but decided to go with the sketch, colors and Americana feel of the inspiration.

I used the new Americana collection from Echo Park and challenged myself to use something old… which was the Friendship Jar stamp from PTI (remember those? do you have any?). I added a bunch of stitching for a more authentic feel.

Here’s the inspiration:

The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I love the color scheme so I am sure I will create another card, because today, I decided to go with the theme and the eggs to create an Easter card.

I have used the Easter Basket collection from @Echoparkpaper. For the main image I fussy cut it from one of the pattern papers and mounted it on foam squares. The Happy die is from The Stamps of Life. This card is pretty simple, as I am battling the flu and it took all the brain cells I had available LOL

Check out this week’s inspiration, isn’t it beautiful?!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters with my second card for this month’s theme challenge. The Challenge this month is green… so matcha it is.

The paper is from Echo Park’s new collection In Full Bloom. The Stamp set is and older one from Honey Bee Stamps which I coloured with copics, and the sentiment is one I printed up.

Unity has been hitting it out of the park with cuteness lately! This is another adorable stamp set – The Softest Thoughts.

I pulled out some old CTMH papers for this one because I just thought soft pastel would work for this image.

This set is of course on sale right now so it is a good time to grab it 😏

I am back with another JUGS challenge and this week is word week – the word is Encouragement. I used this fun image from Angie Blom Designs. I put one of the sentiments on her tank top, which was encouraging I thought.

Then I decided to add this sentiment from a Simon Says stamp set. I cut it apart and added to the lined paper, kind of a notebook type of feel with the paper clip, staples and twine

The paper is from The Stamp Market

I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog today with a fun winter card using an image from Angie Blom Designs. I love digis as you can size them any size. I paired her with some pattern paper from Simple Stories. This card went together rather quickly. After coloring the image I mounted it on foam squares for dimension. The sentiment stamp is from CTMH and the die is from Honey Bee Stamps.

I did add a touch of sparkle, to remind you to link up your creation for this month’s Lattes & Layers challenge – the theme is sparkle

The new Inspired By challenge is up and I was inspired by the party theme and colors to create my card. I used the Clink & Celebrate kit from Unity (because it was just perfect for this challenge) along with some papers from Stampin’ Up! (which too are perfect don’t you think?)

I have had the gold metallic paper around for awhile I think it was from CTMH and it too, worked well for this card. The die is from MFT. I mounted the main image on foam squares for some dimension.

Isn’t this a fun inspiration? How are you inspired? Come and play along

Now if you love this Unity stamp go grab it as it is on SALE right now!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards using some new Unity items, starting with the Clink & Celebrate set – which is so fun. It can be used for any celebration – New Years, Wedding, Birthday, Congratulations….what would you use it for? I paired them with the Clock Strikes 12 paper collection. By the way, both the stamp set and paper are on sale right now now.

First up, I created a New Year card. I used some vellum paper to die cut some stars as I didn’t want to cover up the paper too much but I did want some dimension and fun. I topped it off with some silver dots.

Next up using the same paper and stamp I made another New Years card with a bit different feel because I added a saying from the Snarky New Year Stamp set and of course, the pant one is perfect 😁 This time I added gold glitter stars. The Cheers is from the Heart of Christmas stamp (and die) set.

All of the Unity Items are on sale right now so be sure to go grab them! (Just click on the image for direct link)

I know it is early but do you have New Year plans?
