You Are Chair-ished

 

I was feeling in a punny mood yesterday so I pulled out some oldie but goodie stamps to put together this simple card.  The chairs are from a 2010 Unity Kit of the Month set (!!!) and the sentiment is from one of the earliest Papertrey Ink sets that I bought.  I keep thinking I need to weed some of my older stuff out but when I try I end up making cards with what I dig up. It's like finding lost treasure!  

I'm going to enter this is the Addicted to Stamps and More Any Occasion challenge because there's always an occasion to share love, encouragement and a pun!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White, Black) Papertrey Ink, (Cajun Craze, Pacific Point) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Chair from Sept 2010 KOM) Unity, (Sentiment from Chair-ished) Papertrey Ink

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Other:  (Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops) Tonic

You've Been Boo'd

I don't usually make Halloween cards but I couldn't resist these adorable stamps from Essential By Ellen.  I decided to use them for the CAS Colours and Sketches colour challenge.  They're not your typical Halloween colours but I thought that made it kind of fun.  And then of course I couldn't help making another card in more traditional colours... 

(I also used Cecile's Freshly Made Sketches sketch from a couple of weeks ago because I love it!)

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Dapper Denim) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Ghosts from Happy Haunting, Sentiment from The Last Bite) Essentials by Ellen

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Stitched Square) Lil' Inker Designs

Other:  (Nuvo Ripened Pumpkin & English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic

Autumn Leaf Flower

We're in the midst of some renovations at the moment so when I was at the paint store I may have grabbed a few more paint swatches than I needed...  I thought this one would make a nice background for some autumn leaves for the Inkspirational challenge.  I love these Altenew leaf dies and while I was playing around with them I found that they look a bit like a flower in this configuration so I went with it.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Dies:  (Leaves) Altenew, (Many thanks) Essentials by Ellen

Other:  (Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops) Tonic, (Glossy Accents) Ranger

Speech Bubble Thanks

 I was doing some digging around through old supplies this past week and came across these Neat & Tangled speech bubble dies.  I thought they'd be fun to use in a rainbow of colours for this week's Inspired By... photo.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Lovely Lipstick, Pumpkin Pie, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Stop & Go) Neat & Tangled

Yasss!

 

Today's card is for the Just Add Ink Just Add Lines challenge which came along right when I needed it.  I was SO excited to get this Essentials by Ellen Yasss die - it's totally me!  I was trying to put this card together and knew it wasn't quite right - there was something missing.  Then I happened upon the JAI challenge and the lightbulb went on - some lines across the bottom were the perfect element to balance out the design.  Thanks, JAI!

Cardstock:  (White, Black) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper: (Enchanting Washes 6x6) Altenew

Eat All The Cake

 I've got a card today for the Addicted to Stamps and More Birthday challenge.  I've been having a lot of fun lately playing with the Classic Block Alpha dies from Essentials by Ellen.  I'm loving the look of the large, bold sentiment with just one image.  I also totally agree with this sentiment and may have resembled that cat a time or two in my life...
