Inspiration and JAI139

It's time for another Inspiration Challenge.  This week we looked to our Stampin' Success magazine.  This magazine is sent out to all demonstrators to give us business tips and stamping inspiration!  I love getting mine in the mail.

 

For this challenge we were supposed to look at page 30 for inspiration and create a card, scrapbook page or altered item.

 

I created two cards this week...

Card #1 is also being entered in the Just Add Ink Challenge this week: Use Something New.  I just got the No Peeking stamp set and I am loving that little penguin!  Also new to me is that cute Brushed Bronze Button!  I love them both...both from Stampin' Up!

 

I started this card with a Pool Party card base.  I then added a little chevron DSP from the Festival of Prints pack and the Newsprint at the top came from the Early Edition pack.  I stamped the sentiment "Jolly Christmas" on a Crumb Cake piece of cardstock.  The embellishments on the card are: Jean Ribbon and a Brushed Bronze Button, tied with Linen Thread. 

 

The penguin was created by stamping with black and orange (feet and nose) on Very Vanilla cardstock first.  I just cut him out and stamped a second peguin...just inking the hat and scraf.  I cut both of those out and pieced them together.  Dimensional added to the back of the hat and scarf was just the perfect touch to finish the card off. 

My second card for the Klompen Stampers challenge was started with a Crumb Cake card base.  All of the papers and embellishments are the same as on the card above: Festival of Prints DSP pack, Early Edition DSP pack, Jean ribbon and Brushed Bronze Button tied with Linen Thread.

 

I used the Blue Ribbon stamp set on this card.  I just love the color combination.  This would be a great birthday card for a male!

 

Thanks for stopping by to see my creations today!  Hope to see you back here again tomorrow!
