For my card, I started by water-coloring my paper in pastel colors. Once it was dry, I cut out the eggs using the Easter Egg Builder die set. I also cut out the egg designs using the same die set. I used glue to adhere the decorative fronts to the eggs. I then cut out the rectangular-stitched panel using the Basic Frames die set. I then played around with the arrangement of eggs and adhered. I selected the pink, basket-weave paper from the Happy Easter paper pack and cut it to 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and adhered on the card base. I then pulled out some scrap green glitter paper in the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and die cut it with the Happy Easter die set.

I hope I've inspired you to come join us!

TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch #40-Winter Cards

This wintry card features Newton's Nook Designs retired stamps sets: Roll With It (2021) and Winter Tails (2014).  Those pretty papers are by Miss Kate, Gingerbread Lane.

 

This wintry card features critters from the retired Newton's Nook Designs stamp set, Sweater Weather (2016). Wow, I've had this set for 10 years, and I still love it! I used papers by Miss Kate, Gingerbread Lane. I love how different these cards look using papers from the same paper set.

For my card this week, I created a distressed background. I then die cut a lattice using the  Lattice die. I adhered the lattice to the background. I stamped and colored the Easter image from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp set. I used my Scan 'n' Cut to cut it out, but a coordinating die is available. I used adhesive foam to adhere. I stamped the sentiment and mounted it to an orange glitter scrap from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. I added a trio of gems to the lattice for a bit of glam. That's it. I really like how this card turned out, and I am finally getting better at distressing card backgrounds!  Yippee!

I hope I've inspired you to come join us!

I have two cards today featuring papers from the Newton's Nook DesignsCheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and the Happy Easter paper pack. I used the NND Card Layout 6 die. By using the layout die, I was able to used all the elements of the die for two cards. I also used a light orange cardstock to create the frame for the first card as well as for the die cut sentiment using the NND Happy Easter die. For the bunnies, I used some scrap Kraft cardstock and cut out two bunnies using the Bunny Silhouettes die set. For the first bunny, I also cut out a bunny tail using felt.  The second bunny's tail is a little pom pom. I love how both cards turned out. The first one is super shiny with mostly glitter paper, but the other one is so cute with the majority of the card with the carrots. 

I hope I've inspired you to come join us!

I used the newly released  Card Layout 6 die with papers from the Happy Easter paper pack. I selected the small floral print because I wanted to use the image from the Newton's Blooms stamp set. I used Copic markers to color image making sure that the flowers match the ones in the paper. I wanted to add some bling to the card, so I used the Card Layout 6 die again to cut the blue glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. I wanted a sentiment that wasn't too specific to spring and found one I like from the Hyacinth stamp set. I used the  Circle Frames die set to cut a stitched circle from white card stock as well as orange glitter paper. I stamped the sentiment and added the little butterfly to add a pop of color.  The new Card Layout 6 die made designing this card quite easy, and I think it will be quickly become a favorite. 

I hope I've inspired you to come join us!

While going through my stamps, I realized that I'd never used the dog image from the Pumpkin Tails stamp set. I colored the puppies similar to the dogs on the paper from the Autumn Woofs  stamp set.  Since the puppy image was rather long, I decided to squish the sketch to make a horizontal card.  I opted to go with the polka dotted paper from the  Autumn Basics paper pads. I created a dark brown frame around each panel using my Mini Perfect Layers tool. I adhered everything and then stamped the sentiment. I loved the horizontal format of this sketch and how this card came out.  It was quite fun to make an "out-of-season" card.  Now it's your turn!

I hope my card has brighten your day!

It's been sunny here which inspired this fun card using the sunshine paper as well as the yellow polka dotted paper from the  Summertime paper pad. I then added the blue glitter panel using paper form the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. My star attraction is the darling feline from the Newton's Happy Meowr stamp set.
