Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Missy ~ Card

Good morning everyone!

This is Missy here to share a quick card wit you today!!  Recently a coworker of mine at school lost her husband unexpectedly.  I wanted to make her a sympathy card to express her condolences.  I really love the colors in the My Mind's Eye Kate & Company Oxford Lane paper pad.  I think the yellow and blue colors just have a soothing feel to them.  I used my Silhouette to cut this card base by Lori Whitlock.  I added a bit of bakers twine from the Twinery and a tiny sentiment from My Pink Stamper.


Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Happy crafting!!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with June - card


  Hi!  This is June Houck with a little Shop Pumpkin Spice inspiration.  Our current challenge is "Dress Up" so I wanted to find a cute die cut image for my card.  I used papers and glossy accents that I purchased at the Pumpkin Spice store.  I love this paper collection by My Mind's Eye.  I have actually ordered it twice :)

For added dimension, I popped up the die cut frame with foam tape.  My bird (dressed as a ghost) also has nice dimension in real life.  That piece literally feels like chipboard; it is glued flat directly on the polka dot paper.

Faux Chipboard Tutorial:  I cut the die cut shadow on black card stock four times, then glued together.  I pieced the rest of the bird, bag, conversation bubble, and costume on top.

Supplies:
papers:  My Mind's Eye Blackbird "Argyle" (orange linen); "Costumes" (black polka dot); "Halloween Words" (green linen);  Card stock Accessories sheet (die cut frame); Bazzill Honey Dotted Swiss (yellow legs); black card stock; white card stock
Cricut cartridge:  3 Birds on Parade p.39 cut @ 2"
glossy accents
black fine tip marker (sentiment)

Happy Tuesday!  June
