Tin of Cards - WWYS #45

January 4, 2016

A New Year and a new What Will You Stamp challenge. I had so much fun last quarter that I've decided to join this great group of card makers again for another round of What Will You Stamp challenges! This weeks set is Tin of Cards. This set has a bunch of versatile greetings that can be used with all sorts of card styles. I paired the Happy Birthday greeting from Tin of Cards with the images from the Balloon Celebrations set and a few other new goodies from the Occasions mini catalog. I am itching to use these fun new products. Great news! All of these new products can be purchased starting tomorrow - January 5th!

I like how this birthday card turned out ... one that was a little more on the masculine side for my brother. Happy Birthday BEAU! Welcome to club 40.

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make? We have a animal theme @global.design.project #gdp551 Play along with us this week! Looking for more inspiration on this Monday? My Monday Montage friends are sharing a bunch of fun new ideas. Next up is Cheryl @nukumach1 Hopping today are: Anja @1stampingnightowl Bree @craftsomnia Charlet @i.heart.stamps - that's me!

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels

It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed! I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
