Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Agnes - Thank You Card



welcome to another daily inspiration post here at the pumpkin spice blog
this is me agnes from flowerdisco's scrap hut
and
we are happy you stopped by.


i made this Thank You card for today.
it is a meaningful card to me because i am saying a sweet "good bye", "see you soon", "until later" to a few things today.
anyway, i hope you find my card worthy enough of my "see u soon" and around, hehe.

for this card patterned papers i used the darling cosmo criket "earth love". i love the colors in it. the sweet girl chipboard is from crate paper "pretty party collection" and last the stamp sticker, showcasing my card's sentiment, is from carta bella's "family traditions" collection.


once again, "Thank You" so much.
-best wishes to you all-

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Agnes

hello all and welcome to the pumpkin spice blog!

my name is agnes and i am here to bring you some inspiration using 
"the sweetest thing collection" by my mind's eye. you all know i love making cards and this pretty thing is all that, wink!!!

Happy Happy
5" wide by 4" tall
i am in love with this collection patterned paper: the colors and designs are more than adorable.

i cut my card base using a bazzill cardstock in walnut cream which i stamped using this jars of love x 3 unity red rubber stamp from unity.

i used my cricut to make the rectangle flower window shape, backed the window opening with another patterned paper, and did some machine stitching to keep all cuts together. i added my other love: enamel dots. I also added some chipboard, including the one with the "happy happy" sentiment on top of two hand cut banners i found on the one patterned paper to layered the three cute banners you see . i also found the chipboard medallion and added it to the flower center. i had to ink all edges because i love inking for more definition on my projects. it all came together very easy using this fab (bit older) collection from my mind's eye. 

hope i performed well, hope i gave you some ideas, some inspiration  with my handmade card.  you are also invited to check out my blog for even more inspiration...not just my blog but sps has one the best design team out there. you also might want to check out ebay's pumpkin spice store. you will find goodies not avail at shop pumpkin spice. gotta love it! <3

psss!...remember to join our monthly challenge: this month's theme is "sunshine" and the monthly prize is very sweet!

we all thank you for taking the time to visit us. we appreciate you so very much!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Agnes - Card

hello and welcome to the pumpkin spice blog.
I am agnes (flowerdisco) from  flowerdisco's scrap hut and i am glad you took the time to visit us.

i made this cute, easy and simple card for a graduation party we were invited to and i thought it was a nice card to share with you today.

this is a squared card measuring approx 4" x 4.25".

Congratulations
for this card i used a bazzill black cardstock for my base (which i dry embossed) and a patterned paper from the echo park's collection scoot. 


 i also used a stamp from my mind's eye to stamp the faux stitching on two of the corners.
the stickers (congratulations and the grad hat) are from an old dcwv collection i still have in my stash, :)
the edging was done with an ek success paper punch.
 the school colors (from where this girl is graduating) are black and orange which i tried to incorporate with the stickers.

i hope today's project inspires you to use some of the older products you have in your stash. 

take care and have a great week.

AGNES' NSD Post & Challenge


hello
 this is flowerdisco from flowerdisco's scrap hut welcoming you to the 
pumpkin spice "blog hop", a "challenge" and a celebration of 
"National Scrapbooking Day".
*<>*

we have a slightly different way for today's hop just to spice up a bit our routine. each one of us has made a project with a different theme in mind. each challenge post will have a 10% discount code (scroll down to find your code) to use at the pumpkin spice store and each designer will pick their own challenge winner for a $20 gift certificate also for the pumpkin spice store.
we think this change of venue for today will be fun, you do not want to miss it.

my challenge for you is to make a project with a mother's theme...easy peasy.
it can be any occasion project not just for mother's day but it has to be for a mother.
and it needs to be a new project for this challenge

my card for today goes to all of you with love.

Dearest Mommy
3.5"inches wide by 5 inches tall
for my card base i use the cricut cartridge Just Because Cards. i also used the cuttlebug for my dry embossing.
the beautiful patterned papers are from my mind's eye, the  six by six  paper pad called 
a mother's love and another favorite of mine the lost and found two collection called sunshine.
both paper pads can be found here.

the elements for my card were die cut using a spellbinder die found here on page 4. i am pretty impressed by how nice these dies cut too. i do not own many and i think this is the first time i used one. this specific one is by donna salazar.

the sentiment was a circle from the a mother's love pad that i adjusted a bit and the sewing was done with my sewing machine. i am always amaze how a little sewing adds so much to a project. the pink enamel dots on some of the scallops are also from my mind's eye the sweetest thing collection and you can see them here. i am in love with them.

Today's SPS Daily Inspiration with Agnes - card

hello fellow crafters,
how are you all doing today?

 i have a cute card to share with you. i bet it will brighten your day!
i used one of my stickers from the happy days collection from echo park to make this happy card.

i know this collection is a bit old but i loved the retro looking and i had to have it :D---you know how it is, lol.
but i had to look for some inspiration on the web because nothing was juicing my mojo, hehe
 (i found my inspiration here)

all the patterned papers are from echo park (scoot collection) but the black and white polka dot which is from my mind's eye. the yellow enamel dot is from a package of yummy goodies i  won from participating in this blog challenges. you can see all i received here.

i think it turned out really pretty. the enamel dot looks like a candy itself. i die cut that little tag from a sizzix die and stamped it with the cute sentiment from a set i have at home. i thought it was just perfect for this "any occasion card". i found the twine here...lots of colors for every taste--wink!

so happy you stopped by and i sure hope you enjoyed my project because it was done with you in mind...too help fueling your inspiration.
oh!, talking about inspiration, remember that "EVERYDAY" you will find a new project at the

Today's SPS Daily Inspiration by Agnes- Scrapbooking

hello all, 
this is me Agnes
(aka flowerdisco)

THANKS for allowing me to share with you a project i made using the photo freedom kit by echo park. i had mentioned earlier this year (on my blog) that my scrapbooking fun must not be put aside any longer. since i started this hobby, my affair with card making has consumed my life entirely but, a lot has changed since then (2007)  and i am finding this scrapbooking method (project style) so easy to use i must start putting my memories together already. :P this does not mean AT ALL, i won't make more cards, no-no-no...it means i will have more things to play with, :D

let me show you my project or "section" or  journaling card (as they call it) of what eventually be added to my scrapbooking adventures.

Oh Snap!
4" x 6"
(what is written on my face is my watermark, lol, too late now to make it more transparent).
i did not mean to scare you off with a close up of my not so pretty face, hehe---sorry! but i have to start somewhere, lol.

for this section i used    DISCOVER     (item: PFTS4003)

i know there are lots of scrappers who have more experience than me making this type of scrapbooking (or any type of scrapbooking) but this is my style and all you need is yours (your style) to have fun with it too. it is time we start printing all the photos we have stored in our computer and make them look even prettier with some info (journaling) on the side, :)

let me show you a few more pics of my freckels, did i say freckles? wink-wink...that is what i will be later on, journaling about it.  this photo shows the so many i can't count them. i guess they come from being on the sun all day during my younger years in the island. no regrets, tough. 

i used here some of the below stickers from the same kit.


and on this one i also squeezed in...
a tag (the perfect day) from the sweet collection from my mind's eye.

here is the cover of the entire
i have linked what i could to make it easy for you to find at the
(where all items have been already marked down 30% off for you delight, wink-wink)

and, my fellow crafters, this is it for today. i hope i entertained you for a bit and even put a smile on your day.

"Spring Animals or Insects (Use your Imagination)
who can resist sweet spring animals and insects.. even bees and caterpillars are cute, right?!" 

i have to thank you so very much for joining me here today., i appreciate your visits.


Take care now and go on and have a Beautiful Day!

(today i am a sub for tanya).

i hope you like my card.

Some People...
7" x 5"
i am in love with these papers. they are from cosmo cricket . i have the kit and there is so much to choose from in it. the heart was die cut with my cricut expression. i also did some sewing machine stitching in the center and i also stitched bordered the card.
---a very quick card but with a long lasting impact---
(imho)
the sentiment is very meaningful for someone you care about, to let them know how you feel about them. 
i cut it out from one of the border papers that come in the kit.
the small button flowers on the side are from a sizzix die.

i even finished the inside:

i think it looks so soft with a spring feeling in it.

Today's SPS Daily Inspiration with Agnes---handmade tag

hello all

flowerdisco here with another fabulous wednesday project to inspire you, or, to help get your mojo going.

(i was planning a short video for today but that was not possible. i am learning the process and for some reason i am having trouble).

anyway, i just received my goodies from the pumpkin spice shop and....i had ordered the scoot 6x6 paper pad from echo park and i quickly made a cute tag for a boy but you can use these papers for anything you want, not just boys. i combined it with some other elements from the store.

For You
3.5" tall
this tag was easy and so simple to make.

the striped background paper, the red border, the blue circle are all from the scoot paper pad.

i love the bright and sunny colors of this collection and since our  weekly challenge is "rainbow" and,  i think i am entering this cutie.

the jute i used is this one, the banner tag came from here, (on sale right now for a dollar) the sentiment is from my pink stamper: yummylicious retired stamp set and, the main element is from here: a lime twist sticker from my mind's eye.

i used a paper punch for the "You Win" (from one of the scoot papers) and hand cut the tiny banner from the same paper.


 here are all the supplies i used:
and

i love this jute and is just 69 cents for over 9 yards---a bargain!

well, my dear..i have to go now. i hope i made your stop worthy enough. :D

remember the challenge this week is "rainbow" and you can link up here,
you will have until midnight friday pacific time.

thanks so much for taking the time,

take care,
agnes
