SSINKspiration: Friday Favorites

It's the end of the month and that means that it's time for another Friday Favorites over at SSINKspiration!

SSINKspiration: Quick & Easy Card

Sorry I've been a little scarce this week.  Sometimes it's good to sit back and take a little break!

 

But I just had to join in with the SSINKspiration Design Team today to post a Quick & Easy card!

 

My Digital Studio is such a great way to make a Quick & Easy card.  I used the Let's Be Jolly Frameable.  It was made to put in a frame to decorate the house around the holidays.  BUT...I shrunk it down with the magic of MDS and used it on a card front. 

 

 

This card was SO quick and easy!  I printed the Let's Be Jolly Frameable on Whisper White cardstock, cut it to size, created a mat of Cherry Cobbler and glued it to the Old Olive card base.

 

Then I added a little Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon to give the card some dimension!

 

Make sure you all stop by the SSINKspiration blog today to check out the other Quick & Easy cards that our Design Team created!  You won't want to miss them!

 

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Embellishment: Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon

Adhesive: Snail

Other: MDS download - Let's Be Jolly Frameable

Practical Scrappers: Frugal Finds - Straws

Today at Practical Scrappers we are being frugal.  It's time for Frugal Finds!  And this month we are using straws!

 

Yes, drinking straws!

 

I made this card using my June Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!  If you haven't heard of My Paper Pumpkin, you should take a look.  It's a monthly kit that comes directly to your door for just $19.95 + tax!  Every month there is a different, fun project to make!

 

To create the Tangerine Tango circles, I used a drinking straw (from a Sonic drink...of course).  I dipped the end of the straw in the ink pad and stamped repeatedly.  I love that there is never a perfect circle...it's a fun distressed look!

 

Head on over to the Practical Scrappers blog to see what the other Design Team members did with straws today!

 

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock: Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Basic Gray
