Today's Daily Inspiration with Denine - Quick Cards

Hello Everyone,

Denine here bringing you another set of quick cards.

I love quick cards... I just can't say that enough.  As many of you, life is SO busy but I still think it is important to make my cards.  There is just something more meaningful and they SAY just what I want them too! 

These two cards are just layers and a couple stickers with a flower.  Once the color combination is picked, the card literally takes under 5 minutes... assuming you don't run out of adhesive during the project... is it just me??!!!

My Son and his girlfriend have Birthday's just 12 days apart and they both turned the big 21 this year!  Exciting huh!  (oh I heard all the stories.. lol)

Here are the cards I made for these two Adults! hehehe... never Adult in a mom's book, right!?!











I used some older MPS stamps that have retired for the stamped sentiments. Ink used was Texas Chocolate ink - love this ink.  My papers are from Lost & Found Two by My Mind's Eye and Traditions by Carta Bella.  Carta Bella is one of my favorite paper lines right now.  The texture on their 12 x 12 cardstock is so rich.  I also used Dark Suede Brown Bazzill cardstock which also has a texture.  I would have to say this particular cardstock is my go to as a layer.  The color seems to go with EVERYTHING.  And my base is made from Bazzill Kraft cardstock.


The flowers are a combination of Petaloo Dahlia's, Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers and the buttons from Indie Chic Citron.


Happy Friday and Come back tomorrow for our Weekly Challenge... they are so much fun.  There is still time to enter this weeks Challenge - Hearts... come play with us.

Hugs,

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Saundra: Card

Happy Thursday!  Saundra here from  Luv Scrapping Together!
 
I'm excited to share my card with you today!
 
My card  features products that can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice.
 
 
 
For my card today, I chose to use this beautiful paper from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 3 Ruby 6x6 pad. I love the pretty reds. pinks, and greys. I cut my heart from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.

 
I stamped my butterfly stratigically so that it has a lace look. This butterfly is from Paper Smooches "Flap Happy' set. I am falling in love with the Paper Smooches stamps and Pumpkin Spice has several sets to choose from. You can see them HERE.

 
I added some Twinery Baker's Twine in Blossom and ties a double loop bow and added a flower on top.
 
My sentiment comes from Whimsical Designs "With Love" set. It is part of the With Love Valentine Kit available at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share a card made with lots of great Shop Pumpkin Spice goodies! With Valentine's Day coming up, you can never have too many cards! This would also be perfect for an Anniversary, or Just Because card - here it is:
I used some of the Crate Paper 6x6 Fourteen papers on this card, as well as some Bazzil Basic White Cardstock. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the heart doily, as well as the smaller hearts, using my Silhouette Designer Edition Software and some cut files from the Silhouette online store.
I embossed the white panel using my Cuttlebug - and inked the edges of it and everything else to finish off the edges. The sentiment is from a the We Connect by Paper Smooches - such a perfect set for Valentine's Day!
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful day and week!
