SPS Inspiration with Denine - mini cards

Happy Friday Friends,

Do you have kiddos in School?  Pumpkin just started Kindergarten... so excited for her.

I am still getting use to the routine... waiting at the bus stop, packing lunch, all the papers... ohhhh my.
It has been such a long time I am out of practice on the 'school' routine.

One of the things I could not wait to do, once Pumpkin started 'Big Girl' school, is put mini messages in her lunch pail.  I didn't have a chance to do that with Spice and the Boys... sorry kiddos.

I wanted to get a few done in advance so that I could just sneak them into her lunch.  Using the short phrases will help her start to recognize words.  I can't wait for Monday, so she can receive her first mini message.  She gets 'Cafeteria Lunch' on Fridays as a treat for a 'Good Job' week.

These were made with scraps... A great way to use up all those 2 1/2  x 2 1/2 pieces of paper.

The base is 2 1/2 x 5, scored at 2 1/2
Bottom layer is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4
Top layer is 2 x 2.... used up a bunch of scraps.

The stamps are a retired set by My Pink Stamper - Lunchbox Thoughts.  One of my favorite sets.

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

Any Occasion by Tanya

Good morning everyone!  I hope you have a relaxing day ahead of you before going back to work tomorrow...me I plan on watching some of the Pro Bowl :)  For today's project I thought I'd take one of the paper stacks and make a quick card that can be used for any occasion.  I haven't put any sentiments on the front yet as I'll wait until I figure out what I need it for.  But one good thing, this is a great way to use up those scraps and it's super quick :)

The papers I used on this were from the Be You Paper Pad

Pinky Violet White Washed Thank you

Good Morning Friends,

This is DIANA L. from DL.ART and I hope you are having a great day.
I really like everything about the August card  kit at. You have got to check it out at the bottom of this post. There is so much that comes with it. The cutest part, are the little garlands.

The quality of the papers that come in the kit are just wonderful and the variety of patterns and colors are wonderful.

My base card stock is core'dinations white wash #GX-WW 380-12,  it is white washed on one side and then  pink-violet on the other, the core is the dark shade, this paper cut like butter in my die cutting machine.

The twine is blossom from the Twinery, there are three colors of twine in the kit but  this was not one of them.  You can always add that to your shopping cart. To order this kit go to Shop Pumpkin Spice

I am always in need of a thank you card, so This is what I came up with, I'm really happy with it.
Can you spot where the Washi tape is in the card?


Shop pumpkin Spice will be carrying a few new lines of stamps, and they will be shipping next month (that is only a few days away) Here is a sneak peek.

Thank you for stopping by to visit,

One more reminder please come by Saturday for our SPS monthly Blog Hop-there will be a prize and a challenge so make sure you come by to visit SPS and the whole design team.

Have a blessed day, Diana
