Happy saturday y'all! It is time to get down and get crafty with Lauren Meader's My Time to Create Inspiration Challenge! It's all about using her inspo photo to inspire something creative. For me it was a card and I used the color combo, the block pattern in the photo and the striped material. I also had this fab bunch of woodblock Birthday stamps from American Crafts to use from a recent box of goodies from Papercrafts magazine. Thank you Papercrafts and American Crafts for such fun stamps that worked perfectly for this project.the challenge:
my project:
See? Aren't these just the happiest of happy birthday stamps?? :) The pennant just rocks my world and the gift was the perfect image to paper piece. I used the dotted background stamp to stamp dots over the bow portion of the package, detail cut the ribbon and bow and layered it onto the package. The whole package is popped up on foam tape too. The dotted background of the card was stamped by layering on inks from 4 different ink pads and stamping repeatedly across the strip of white. And finally the pennants were stamped and embossed with white on 4 cardstocks from Papertrey Ink: I chose Melon Berry, Summer Sunrise, Ripe Avocado and Ocean Tides. Oh! And the striped background was also stamped using Faux Ribbon from Papertrey Ink. Lots of stamp therapy going on here ;)Want more inspiration?

OMG, Dana! I HAVE to buy the faux ribbon set from PTI now! Thanks for enabling me (especially considering what I already spent there this week :O) LOL LOVE the striped background, but especially LOVE how you stamped the bow on the gift and paper pieced it on the pressie! It really gives it a LOT more dimension. The pennants and the gift stamp ARE fun!! Did you win them? If so, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love your fresh, clean, happy card, girlie!
