Colour Inspiration

Today, with the help of my friend Michelle, I tried to create a card that was inspired by a colour combination that I found on the blog, Moxie Fab World (http://www.moxiefabworld.com/). I go to the blog regularly but have never been inspired until recently. I absolutely love the colour combination of the shoe and the pom pom. I selected the papers and stamp sets to be used and Michelle and I created this together. Thank you very much Michelle. Michelle was out of her comfort zone since she is not a fan of purple and the green is too close to old olive which she also does not like. Recipe for the card:

Stamps - Delicate Doilies, You're a Gem

Papers - Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, and Concord Crush

Inks - Versa Mark, Lucky Limeade, and Concord Crush

Other - white and clear embossing powders, rhinestones

The card looks really good in person. The lucky limeade doilies are clear embossed and the sentiment is popped up with dimensionals. What don't you try to challenge yourself with this combination as well.

Happy stamping,

CASED Cards

I found these ideas from other papercrafters but I cannot remember where they are from. I CASED (Copy and Share Everything) these ideas and I hope you enjoy them. I hope to posting regularly very soon as summer arrives.

Happy Stamping,

Barbeque and Apron Card

Hello Everyone,

I cannot believe that it has been so long since I posted last. I have been extremely busy and stressed. Let's just say that my plate was overflowing so much that I was carrying 2 plates. I was working a lot but now it will all end very soon. I am looking forward to getting in my stamp room more often and posting regularly. I am going to post a lot of projects in the next day or two for my stamping club ladies. They like to see the projects that we will be making ahead of time. I am going to highlighting masculine cards and 3D projects.

First up is the barbeque and apron card. The card can fit inside of the barbeque. Also, a gift card can fit inside as well.

Happy Stamping,

Candy Box Card

Just a quick post today as I seem to be getting sick. My throat has started to get sore so I am off to bed shortly. I decided to make a special card that houses a treat and a greeting. I was trying to use my new goodies from the Occasions Mini (button and pompom trim). I also used a new stamp set to put the greeting "Happy Birthday" inside. The treat is a favourite candy of mine, Lindor chocolates. I love, love them. Well that is it for now. Happy stamping, ~danita~

Never Ending Card

This card has 4 layouts that continues to open until you come back to the beginning. It is really something to see in action. I really like cards that move. Don't you? Of course, you might have to send the receipt instructions with this card as well. The finished card measures 6 x 6. Well, I am off to finish up another creation and will post it tomorrow.

Happy Stamping,
