Today's Daily Inspiration from Denine - Card

Hello Everyone,

Denine here with a little winter card inspiration. 

Pumpkin is wishing for Snow in our area and it just is not showing up for her.  All she wants to do is "Catch some snow on my tongue" - said with all the drama you could image.  Love her!!

All of the kids have so much fun in the snow, it always makes me smile.  One year the boys built an Igloo in our backyard with all the snow.  Such a BLAST and a wonderful Memory.

So, I made Pumpkin a little card! 


Isn't this little girl penguin adorable.  Pumpkin is in LOVE with penguins lately.

Recipe - all solid cardstocks
 Frosted Lace Stickles
MPS - Biggie Christmas - Retired
MPS - Serendipity Skies Ink

Here is the picture of the backyard Igloo.


 
 
Hope you are all having a wonderful Winter and get a chance to catch some snow on your tongue!
 
Today is the last day to enter the SPS weekly Challenge 
 
Check back Saturday for the winner announcement.
 
Hugs,

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Agnes- Card

Hello, this is me agnes
aka
flowerdisco
i am a new addition to this already awesome design team. today is my first post and i am so happy you came to visit.
i love making cards and love playing with pretty paper and, if you are like me, then you are in the right place. the pumpkin spice store is the place you need to get your "fix", i mean scrap supplies, hehe, you also will find many other addictive goodies. personally, i think denine has the best prices in her shop. if you "gotta see to believe", click here to see for yourself---(wink  wink).

anyway, i got this awesome paper at the shop called beautiful moments, from the new brand carta bella. oh my! you are going to love it. nice thickness and gorgeous patterns and colors, yummy! along with these papers i also got my first unity stamp called jars of love x 3.
these jars are all the rage right now and the hearts make them perfect for valentine's day. the hearts come separate from the jars, in the same package. this is great because if you want to use the jars for any other occasion, you can, yay!
well, enough of chat-chat and let me show what i made with my shop pumpkin spice goodies.

Love
4x4 square card
the jars were stamped using a versafine onyx ink (my new favorite). i then stamped the hearts on the jars with versamark, sprinkled them with red brick distressed embossing powder from tim holtz and added this softer than most  jute. the rest came from my forever stash, :D what a cute and easy card if you asked me...shhh! it really took me a while, hehe. i wasn't pleased with the first one i made. wink-wink.
oh, i almost forgot the "so happy" sentiment comes from a my mind's eye clear stamp set i also got from the shop.
and...this is it for now.

 thank you again for stopping  by to see my first project for this blog.

 i hope you liked my project and i invite you to subscribe, bookmark or follow us. this way you won't miss anything that denine has in store for all of us----and, that includes you too.

have a great day!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Heather - card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards, sharing a project for Shop Pumpkin Spice! As you might be able to tell from my blog name, my favorite thing to make is cards! So when my first package arrived, that is the first thing I sat down to do! Here is what I made:
One of my favorite paper lines is Crate Paper - something about the colors and textures just speak to me! So I used the brand new Crate Paper Fourteen 6x6 paper pad for my card base, and background panel. 
I used a couple of Spellbinder's Dies to cut the frames. Next I stamped those DARLING Paper Smooches stamp sentiments from the We Connect set on it in several different colors of Papertrey ink. Paper Smooches stamps are a new love of mine - and I couldn't be more excited that Shop Pumpkin Spice is starting to carry them!!! You can see a full list HERE - and I have a feeling there are more to come!
I wrapped some Twinery Baker's Twine in gray behind the front frame panel before attaching it with foam adhesive. I added some Glossy Accents over the letters for some shine, inked the edges, and added a bit of bling from my stash to finish it off.
