DeNami JUNE Inspired by: Jennifer

June Inspired by.... Jennifer.

Her original card and post can be found on her blog.

Isn't Jennifer's card SUPER fun!? I was inspired by it by using the cute little giraffe stamp and the cloudy sky embossing folder.  I used the embossing folder to make a textured blue sky - nice and soft and perfect for a baby card.  I stamped the giraffe in black and colored in with copics.  I added a cute little congrats stamp too.  Tied a bit of twine around the edge and that was it.  Make sure you visit the DeNami Blog to see the other fun cards the design team made!

DeNami Product Spotlight: Congratulations Circle

I stamped the congratulations circle in cherry pink impress ink. I stamped the hat from the graduation set into the center.  Colored in with copics. Patterned paper is from a big pack I picked up at Michaels last year. Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. I'm still trying to get the hang of sequins - I think they should be more spread out now that I look at this card... Oh Well!

The Diploma stamp is a great one to have on hand. I seem to get a graduation announcement every year. I paired it with the Congratulations stamp.   I kept my card fairly simple because I know most graduates just want the money that is inside.  I know that's an awful assumption!  I tied a bit of twine around the diploma.

DeNami March Blog Hop: Fuzzy Friends

Welcome to the March DeNami Blog Hop: Fuzzy Friends.  You should be arriving here from Stacey's Blog. If not, start at the beginning of the hop by going to the DeNami Blog.

I have too many Fuzzy Friends! I had a hard time narrowing it down for this hop! I went with this adorable little giraffe. I stamped it twice onto white cardstock and colored with copics.  I foam taped them onto a pink circle that I stamped the medium dot circle onto. The polka dot base is a card I've had laying around for at least 7 years or so-- time to use it! Congratulations was stamped in Versafine Sepia ink on white cardstock.  I don't know anyone pregnant with twins - but this would be perfect for them!
  Hope you enjoy the remainder of the hop.  Your next stop is to visit my friend Amy's Blog.  She is a major DeNami fan and I am sure she will have something cute and fuzzy for you to see!   Leave her a comment and on every blog you stop at, you have a chance to win a DeNami Gift Certificate!

DeNami Product Spotlight: Graduation & BLOG HOP

Welcome to the DeNami Product Spotlight & Blog Hop!
We are featuring the Graduation Cling Set.

I used the graduation cap and decorative stamp from the Graduation Set.  I stamped the Congratulations Stamp in SU Lilac ink and the background stamp in Versafine Black.  I used DeNami White, Amethyst and Black Cardstock.  I added extra fine glitter to the decorative stamping using a quickie glue pen.

DeNami Product Spotlight: Onesie

Welcome to the DeNami Product Spotlight --- using the onesie stamp.

This stamp is 10% off for the next week == or you could win it! Simply leave a comment on every blog along the hop. Easy!

My card was inspired by Debbie - so I must give her total credit for my layout and color combination.  I loved how she punched 3 holes into the kraft cardstock.  I used a pencil to draw marks onto the white cardstock so I would know where to stamp the onesie, then I simply erased the marks.  Don't you love the upright congratulations stamp - so unique!  I stamped the gingham background onto the petal pink cardstock using versamark - its hard to see, but its there!

It's a blog hop --- so your next stop is to visit Emily.

10 minute craft dash challenge #2

SO excited to get a chance to participate in Paulina and Ginny's Challenge.

10 minute craft dash. I was SO scared! I totally cheated. I found a card in a stampin up catalog I liked, and recreated it.  Page 84 of the 2011/12 catalog.  I wasted tons of time searching for the correct colored markers, next time I will set a few coordinating colors out before I start the timer!

My time was 8 minutes and 32 seconds. 

I used 3 DeNami stamps. Onesie, Congrats, and Decorative Borders.  Stamped in Black and PTI aqua mist.  I layered the white cardstock onto PTI aqua mist, distressed dots, and olive cardstock. I was in such a hurry I pulled the twine out, didn't bother to find an end, and cut from the middle. SO not like me!  I'm off to clean up my messy desk now! I didn't put things away as I created.  I'm looking forward to the next challenge!

OTWC #48 Congratulations

Pink - Blue - Yellow OTWC Colors this week are SO pretty.  I say this every week, but I think Kim ALWAYS has great color combos!   I originally wanted to do a springy/floral card, but I needed to make a baby card, so these colors worked perfectly.  I have several pregnant friends, so this card will go to one of them.  That reminds me, I need to start making some simple Thank-You cards for them.  I kept it simple, adding just a few touches to fancy it up a bit.  I added 2 score lines to hold up the elephants, but it doesn't show in the picture.   PTI polka dot ribbon matched perfectly with the Bitty Dots paper I used.  Both stamps are from DeNami: Elephant and Congratulations.
