Turn Me On

Just loved this week's Picture Perfect SPARKS challenge at Paper Smooches.  I was inspired by the geometric design and fun colors!  I love combining different stamp sets to create something original.  This card combines Spectrum, We Totally Click, Boob Tubes, Sunny Side Up, and Super Halloweenies.  I also used Paper Smooches' Stitched dies. I'm really liking how this turned out.  It makes me laugh!  Thanks for stopping by!  Debbie

 I didn't feel much like cleaning my house, but I was totally inspired by Paper Smooches' Squeaky Clean stamp set.  I kept this card really clean (Hee! Hee!) and simple. Thanks for visiting! D~

A Blog Named Hero Photo Inspiration Challenge

You're Swell

Today's card features a beach scene inside a fish bowl. I used Paper Smooches' Surf and Turk and Wicked Nauticool. To the card base, I embossed waves. Then I stamped the fish bowl on water color paper and created a sunset over the ocean. Then I stamped the sailboat, crab, and sentiment and also used water colors. After fussy cutting, I used 3D foam tape to add dimension. I added twine for a finishing touch. Thanks for stopping by!  ~Debbie

Purrfect Day

This card features a couple Paper Smooches stamps. I started by using Design Motifs. I used Distress Inks. I inked the rhombus shape and stamped three times to achieve the ombre effect.  I continued stamping to create the background. I then stamped the cat and mouse (Charmed Lives) image twice to make them really black.  I added fun foam to the back to create some dimension. To finish things off I stamped the sentiment and added a bit of bling. This became a Father's Day's card from my kitties to my hubby!  As always, thanks for dropping by! ~Debbie

Challenges:



Come and Get It Challenge--All About Those Cute Animals

Send A Smile 4 Kids--Animals

Today is the Day--Enjoy

This card features a new stamp set for me--Paper Smooches--Hot Concoctions.  I used DCWV Gilded Paper Stack.  This is a small card  (~3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches) using a portion of the paper from the stack. To add a bit of interest I cut the paper and added fun foam to add dimension. I stamped the cup on cardstock and die cut the small doily from DCWV. With the sentiment stamped on and a few gold dots added, I ended up with a fun little card!  Thanks for stopping by! ~D


Challenges:

Favorite Side Kick--Coffee Lovers Blog Hop #10

As I was looking through and commenting on some of the amazing coffee-themed cards over at the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop, I was inspired by entry #159 Lydia's fun card. It had such a fun super hero feel.  I pulled out my Paper Smooches' Super stamp set and a coffee set by Gel-a-tins.  I just love that big grin on the super hero's face.  It's how I feel when I get my morning coffee!  Thanks for dropping by! ~Debbie
