CASE-ing Cards

These two cards are CASEd (copy and share everything), I didn't design them, I received the top one as a swap at one of my team meetings and the bottom one I discovered on Pinterest.

If you aren't a member of Pinterest and collect pictures religiously, you should join. Don't be intimidated, it says you need to request an invite to join, and someone sent me an invite! I love Pinterest, it saves me a lot of paper, and keeps my house a lot tidier. I love seeing what other people "pin", and it's a great way to discover new ideas.

I am saving pictures for cards and scrapbooking, as well as things for parties and food, cakes and cookies, then there is a board for ideas for my house, and another for kids. You can follow me on Pinterest, I am glitterinkcraft.

The top card was made with SAB product with Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla. And, the second card - so simple, just so stunning, was made with Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Melon Mambo and Whisper White.

Love, love, love these cards and just wanted to share them with you. It's time I got back to designing though, I miss the challenge!

Flight of the Butterfly

Some more Spring Fever in these tiny little 3x3 cards with matching envelopes. I am totally loving these colours together, more than I did when I first set eyes on this combo. I especially love Basic Grey and Melon Mambo together - so crisp!

I made the envelopes simply by un-gluing (is that a word?) a Mini Whisper White Square Envelop, tracing it out on DSP with a pencil and then a quick snip and some sticky strip, and we are done. The labels are from the Simply Scrapping Kit in the Occasions Mini. There's no reason you couldn't just prettily stamp a white envelope, but how pretty do these look?

Flight of the Butterfly is one of my favourite stamp sets, but I rarely use it. I must just forget about it - actually, you know, it's because it's a wood mount set and I can't see what's inside as easily as my clear mount sets, so all those wood mount sets get overlooked every day. I had better remedy that. From today, I will work my way through the wood mount sets, creating something special, so they feel like they are loved too.

Stamp Set: Flight of the Butterfly
Cardstock: Melon Mambo (textured), Daffodil Delight (textured), Basic Grey (textured), Pear Pizzaz (textured), Whisper White
DSP: Spring Fever Simply Scrapping Kit
Ink: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, Pear Pizzaz, Versamark
Punches: Butterfly Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch
Other: Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Basic Rhinestones, Snail Adhesive, Sticky Strip

Enjoy!

Weekend Quickie!

Seriously, it is a weekend quickie. It's all I had time to do this past Family Day long weekend. For some reason, I thought I would have a bunch of time to myself. But, oh no, Family Day kind of means you have to spend the weekend with your family :)  Not that I am complaining, of course...

I had some cupcakes go out for a client, and I knew it was for a birthday, so I made a quick little tag and attached it to the box. A beautiful, fully-opened rose perfectly matched the Melon Mambo cardstock. It's these little added extras that make the difference to my cupcake deliveries. Not only are my cupcakes the best tasting, the whole package is the prettiest.

Stamp Set: Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess)
Ink: Melon Mambo
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Big Shot: Two Tags Bigz Die
Punch: Decorative Label Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch (to thread ribbon)
Other: Sponge Dauber, Snail Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Snips, non-SU ribbon

Enjoy!

Spring Fever!

Honestly, this feels like cheating. If you can't tell, I used the Spring Fever Simply Scrapping Kit from the Occasions Mini to create this card. Actually, I really used leftovers from the Simply Scrapping Kit. I attended a workshop last weekend, and we made about 8 cards and a box, and there is so much leftover that I cannot bear to not do something with it.
The colours absolutely scream SPRING with Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzaz. The Designer Paper is beautiful - I like them with small prints, as I am not into scrap booking so much (yet), so the smaller prints work well for me on cards and tags.

 I used the heart punch to make the petals on the flower - just punch out 8 and fold in half. Stick one side down with Snail and you are done. Everything co-ordinates, it all works well together, and the finished product looks so great (like you spent hours creating it all).

All the images on the inside of the card are stickers..you heard correct, they are stickers! I added some more pearls for a touch of luxe, a Dimensional for pop, and then I was done. I still feel like I cheated :)

I used the layout from PPA 129 Sketch Challenge for added inspiration too. 

Stamp Set: Mixed Bunch, Petite Pairs

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo

Punches: Full Heart Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch

Other: Spring Fever Simply Scrapping Kit, Large Pearl Basic Jewels, Basic Pearls (love the multiple sizes in the one pack), 1/4" Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon, Snail Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Stampin' Dimensionals

Enjoy!
