Today's SPS Inspiration with Denine - Card

Hello Friends,

Today I wanted to use some of the adorable papers from the Once Upon a Springtime paper pad by Graphic 45.  I have been hoarding this pad for a long time.

Closed back up after I wrote my message

Isn't this gorgeous?  I just love these papers and the card style is so much fun.  You all know I love to layer paper to show off all the designs.. so this was perfect.

I made this starting with a 4 x 12 inch base, that will make 3 cards from each 12 x 12 piece of paper.  Pretty awesome, right!!

After I cut the 4 x 12 inch base out of Core'dinations Aspargus, I just started layering my papers.  Super fun.  Pumpkin LOVED it!

Pumpkin started swimming this week.  She is having such a BLAST.  Her words - "mommy, call me your little dolphin".  hehe.


Have a fabulous FRIDAY and remember, you still have time to submit your project for Challenge # 25 HERE.  The Challenge is any project with anything to do with SPORTS.

Happy Crafter Hugs,

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Saundra ~ Card

Hi There! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I created a card using some Echo Park paper.


I started with a Bazzill Kraft card base and layered some Bazzill Honey Dotted Swiss cardstock on top that I had punched with a Fiscars scalloped punch.

I then took some scraps from my Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 paper pad and cut them into strips in varying widths. I inked the edges with some Distress Ink in Tea Dye and spaced them as evenly as I could across my card.

I added some bakers twine that I received from an old Pumpkin Spice kit and topped it with a brad from My Mind's Eye. To finish my card I kept it simple and added a few random sequins. I am loving sequins! :)

This is such a great way to use some of your scraps.

You can find so many fun papers and embellishments at Shop Pumpkin Spice either HERE or HERE

Don't forget to stop by the Pumpkin Spice Blog for daily inspiration and weekly challenges!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Until next time...
Happy Crafting!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Saundra ~ Card

Hi There! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!



My card today is comprised of 2 different My Mind's Eye paper pads. I used The Sweetest Thing "Tangerine" 6x6 pad and On the Brightest Side Two 6x6 paper pad. I think these two MME papers really compliment each other. I love the orange and teal together.

This cute owl image was a freebie from Miss Kates Cuttables

I inked all my edges with distress ink and added some Ranger Glossy Accents to my owl's eyes. I decided to give her a Mandarin bow made from some of The Twinery Baker's Twine.

I also added some Caribbean Baker's Twine to the top and bottom of the card, added a bow and topped it with a My Mind's Eye "Fine and Dandy" button.

My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Owl Occasions."

Make sure you check out the Shop Pumpkin Spice Store for even more wonderful products. Denine has some of the lowest prices for all your crafting goodies.

Don't forget to join in the current Pumpkin Spice Challenge! You can find all the details HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Until next time...
Happy Crafting!

Happy Monday everyone. Today is my day to post at the Pumpkin Spice Blog. This week's challenge is sports!

As I was rummaging through my pile of 6x6 paper pads, I came across my favorite winter themed collection "Winter Wonderland" by My Mind's Eye. Suddenly, my head became flooded with winter themed sports. I came across this adorable cut from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge.

Here's my card.
