DeNami Pin-Spired Christmas Card

Another fabulous inspiration photo from Pinterest.  Visit the DeNami Blog for more Pin-spired projects.

Gold- Red - and Rich Chocolate Color Combo ---- what's not to love?  I embossed the ornament trio using versarmark pad and gold embossing powder.  I added some of my new sequins that I bought from Paulina at Pretty Pink Posh.  I stamped and embossed the elegant word plate in gold. Merry Christmas was stamped using Versafine Sepia into the center of the frame. I cut the frame out and foam taped it onto the red cardstock.  

I hope you are inspired to create your own Pin-Spired Project!  Christmas is only a few weeks away!

DeNami Pin-spired Project

I admit it, this photo stumped me.  I think its a great photo and all, but I couldn't figure out how to use it for inspiration on my card.  This simple Thanksgiving card idea finally came to me! 

Fun, fall themed patterned paper was cut into long triangles and taped onto the kraft cardstock front.  I then added a bit of twine and tied a few little bows.  The Happy Thanksgiving was stamped in sepia inside of the orange stitched rectangle.  I noticed the Happy Thanksgiving stamp is available as a cling now too - in case you don't prefer wood mounted.  As soon as I finished the card, I realized I should have embossed the kraft cardstock to add some interest/dimension.  Maybe next time!!  I don't have patience to re-do a card, call me lazy.

Isn't that a GORGEOUS fall bouquet.  I'm sure it was carried down the aisle by a stunning bride.  I loved the green accents up the side of the charcoal ribbon, so I tried using that on my card.

I've had this making memories embellishments for atleast 10 years - I know because I bought them when I lived in Idaho!  I guess it was time to use them finally!!  I thought the DeNami Garden Bouquet  would look great used with these fall colors.  I had a hard time coloring them though, since the picture was so pretty!  Did you know that DeNami is carrying embossing folders now?  I haven't gotten a chance to order any yet, but they have LOTS!!  Even a chevron one similar to the one I used on my card.

Are you Pin-spired by the photo? I hope so! If not, head on over to the DeNami Blog - the cards will knock your socks off! 

I was slightly intimidated and didn't know where to start on this project. I loved the photo, but then I was scared when I saw photos of my fellow design team gals creations!  I didn't think I could come anywhere close. I tried! 

I stamped the elegant floral wreath 3 times onto the aqua cardstock.   I colored in with copics. The white cardstock was stamped with the 3 line border and cherry pink impress ink alternated with orange washi tape.   7/8 hot pink grosgrain ribbon was tied around the card front.  I  thought I should add a sentiment, but my daughter said it was pretty the way it was.... so I left it.  

DeNami Pin-spired #11

It's time for another Pin-Spired post.  Make sure to stop by the DeNami Blog to see the other creations made by the Design Team.

Didn't Paulina pick a super fun Citrus photo!  DeNami has a great selection of fruit stamps.  I stamped then on a diagonal and added the stitched border in between the rows. I scored a section on the white cardstock and added Happy Birthday!  I'm hoarding the gorgeous chevron ribbon, but thought it looked great on this citrus birthday card.  I know, why buy it if you aren't going to use it!

At 1st glance I was scared of this photo! All I saw was stripes and dots - and mostly primary colors. Yikes! Once I punched out the circles I had this card totally completed in under 10 minutes.  Just goes to show what you can accomplish once you are "Pin-Spired" by something!
I punched 12 cardstock circles and adhered them to a piece of white cardstock that I matted onto a red piece of cardstock.  I stamped the 3 line border onto the card base using versafine majestic blue ink.  I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment twice onto sky blue cardstock and used foam tape to give them some POP.  Perfect card for any aged boy or man. I think the primary colors are perfectly masculine!  Hope you've been Pin-spired today!

Denami Designs + Pinterest = Fabulous Inspiration!

You must see the projects my fellow design team members made -- they are super fun!

Somehow I managed to get the idea to use the flip flop border stamp instead of birds - I think it worked out okay! I love the sending you sunshine stamp, it works beautifully with so many DeNami images.  Since I live in Vegas, I really do have sunshine to send out on almost a daily basis!  I added the black stitched background by stamping a background image 3 times, from the basic borders set.   I used a yellow marker to add some color to the sentiment.  I also added rhinestones to each pair of flip flops.  I layered the white cardstock piece onto an orange card. 

DeNami Pin-Spired #5

I love pinterest. I also love the Pin-spired projects by the DeNami Design Team - check it out!

I loved the stack of pastel chalks tied with the pretty ribbon in the photo.  I used what I had on hand to recreate it -- Birthday candles tied with a pretty pastel ribbon.

I die cut a PTI tag with white cardstock.  I glued the candles onto a white scrap and then tied the ribbon around them and secured them onto the tag.  Added a bunch of bakers twine to the tag.  The Lavender card was stamped using the medium polka dot background.  I added the happy birthday sentiment in black.  Washi tape layered onto white cardstock and then pink.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

DeNami inspired by Pinterest-- Pin-spired

I Love Pinterest!  So obviously I love these new Pin-spired projects!

I stamped the Happy St. Patricks Day saying 5 times using different colors of green - obviously inspired by the photo.  I added a shamrock border using the Lucky Irish Set and curly shamrock. There is also gingham background stamped lightly with the shamrocks.  I used the stitched border stamp with the Essential Glue Pad & Extra Fine Glitter to add some sparkle like the frosting!   Finished off with a bit of 3/8 lime grosgrain ribbon.

DeNami Pin-spired #1

Welcome to the 1st DeNami Pin-spired Post! 

I found these $1 spot doilies at Target! They worked perfectly for this challenge.  I stamped the heart flower trio circle using sepia ink, the teeny heart background was stamped using cherry pink impress onto petal pink cardstock.  I used 7/8 hot pink ribbon to create a bow and stuck some pink heart hat pins into the center of it.  I needed to fancy the card up... quickly!   I added some pretty extra fine glitter to my stamped image. 

This card is also for the 10 minute craft dash over at Pretty Pink Posh.  It's a fun one --- you must use hearts on your project and complete it in under 10 minutes.  I seem to be quick and semi-simple,  I completed this one in 7 minutes 10 seconds.

I hope you have time to play along with the "Hearts" 10 minute craft dash cahllenge - you have a chance to win a $20 DeNami Gift Certificate!
