Inspired By Pattern

This card was inspired by the photo on the Inspired By Blog! It contains no background papers at all and might be considered almost a one layer card. I've created a pattern similar to the photo using all stamps; images and sentiments! I chose some fun patterns and lively, cheerful colors.

 Instead of using a dotted line to separate the sections, I lightly embossed squares. Unfortunately it is very difficult to see with the white photo?! It's still a very cool concept for a card or invitation. I might play around some more and see what I come up with!!

Wherever I'm With You

I love the sentiment on this card! I used the sketch over on Mojo Monday which had lots of different layers to play with. I was able to split up the words in the sentiment with a banner as shown in the sketch. The color combination came from the Paper Players Blog. {CTMH colors are Sky, Smoothie, Crème Brulee and Cocoa}

Oh Snap!

Tomorrow I am hosting a Birthday themed card exchange. I have already received several cards and can't wait to share them here with all of you. These ladies are so talented and their artwork inspires me every time!

In the meantime I have some cute cards to share with you today using the Sightseer stamp set. I like the simple, trendy images. I especially like the people, camera and the arrow graphic which I turned into chevron stripes on a card posted previously.

This first card uses some For Always paper and just a strip of some older Dotty papers. I wanted the look of a polaroid picture and with the addition of Washi tape the card looks like a page in a Smash Book!

Even though this card is a Birthday theme, it was not worthy enough for the upcoming exchange. However, I was able to play with some new Heidi Swapp Color Shine shimmer spray and Color Shine Heart. In person this card sparkles and shines!

Be sure to come back soon to see the fabulous creations from my Birthday card exchange!

Fun Friend Card

I saw this idea of creating a rainbow effect using a zig zag or chevron pattern. I chose the image from the new Sightseer stamp set. I was also able to use the sketch on Freshly Made Sketches, it all came together perfectly!
