Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with June - card

 Hello!  This is June Houck with a scrappy birthday card.  I still have bits from this My Mind's Eye collection called Indie Chic "Nutmeg."  It is my go-to collection for masculine cards with these wonderful patterns in shades of blue.

  My card evolved from a small scrap of the blue tone-on-tone circles paper.  I rounded opposite corners and inked the edges.  Then I coordinated three other patterns in blue.  Even the grey-ish banner is scrap piece from in the collection.  I stamped the sentiment and added twine.  Tip:  to keep my twine from unraveling, I dab a tiny dot of glossy accents on the ends.   They end up looking a little bit like shoe laces.

Supplies:

papers:  My Mind's Eye Indie Chic "Nutmeg" Boy Checker, Family Laurel Burst (both sides), and Memories Tapestry; XPEDX navy linen card stock

sentiment:  My Pink Stamper "Birthday Doodles" stamp set

twine:  The Twinery charcoal

glossy accents

Happy Tuesday!  June

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with June - birthday card

  Hello!  This is June Houck with a little Shop Pumpkin Spice blog inspiration today.  When My Mind's Eye released their Lost and Found Two collection, I purchased the entire 12x12 paper collection, a few packages of the glazed brads, and a couple of packages of the layered chipboard.  I planned my entire card around the layered chipboard piece (the semicircle scallop piece with pink pearls.)

  Since I decided to center my card around the layered chipboard piece called "Blush", I pulled out every sheet of "Blush" until I was happy with my paper combination.  I used five different sheets:

• "Better" Blossom
• "Favorite" Dance
• "Princess" Special
• "Sweet" Bouquet
• "Sweet" Eiffel

  I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink (pumice stone), and stamped the My Pink Stamper sentiment (from the "Birthday Doodles" set) with "Darkest Night" hybrid ink.  Other supplies:  EK Success border punches, Creative Memories corner rounder, and My Creative Time "Flower Petal" dies.

Thanks for stopping by!  June
