For my challenge card this week, I used two Storage Units, Ink & More sets.

It's Your Day & Pictures

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! I have some pictures to share with you today, but first things first...LOL! I made this card for SC223 using two Storage Units, Ink & More sets. The flower is from the AT A SNAILS PACE set and the It's your day sentiment is from the newly released set, THINKING OF MOTHER. The flower is colored in with Copic Markers and the sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. It's hard to see in the photo, but I pierced around the image. Then I added silver rhinestones to the corners and Crystal Stickles to the flower. The cardstock, patterned paper, ribbon, and rhinestones are all from the Mother's Day Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions.

Now, onto my pictures...:)

Here are my girls on Easter Sunday. My little one has a wad of gum in her month; nice huh...LOL?!?

If so, check out THIS post for more information. If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC36.

For this week's challenge, I am showing you an Easter basket that I made. I used a super cute (and easy) template by Waltzingmouse on SCS. You can check out her template HERE. I printed the template on a sheet of double sided SU! Raspberry Tart Designer Paper. I adhered four strips of Rose Red cardstock on each side of the basket that I punched with my Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edger Punch. The handle is from the same designer paper and the flowers and brads are from Taylored Expressions.

The Easter Greetings sentiment is from the YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL set from Storage Units, Ink & More. I stamped the sentiment is Rose Red and the scalloped circle is Kiwi Kiss.

Sweet Spring Easter Cards

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a nice Easter. My parents flew in from Arizona last Wednesday for Easter, so I haven't created much, but I do have two last Easter cards to show you today. I didn't make as many Easter cards as I would have liked to this year and get this; I didn't even mail any out (EEK!!!). Both cards today use the Sweet Spring set by Stamp a Sweet Impression and Easter Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions. I added a red rhinestone to the cherry on each card. The images are popped on with dimensionals and I added Crystal Stickles to each.

I used Amy's Friday Sketch #56 for this card. I also added three Baby Pink Candy Dots to the patterned paper.

For this card, I used Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Sketch #60 . Part of the image is paper pieced and I used my EK Success Wavy Dot punch.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

SUINKWWC34 - April Fools

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week's challenge is create a card that fits today's holiday; APRIL FOOLS.
It could be a joke, a prank, or just plain silly. Another option would be to use a stamp in an uncommon way. April Fools; you thought this stamp was for ____, but you can also do this with it. So, do you want to play along? If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC34.

For this week's challenge, I decided to go the "silly" route. Who doesn't think their house is like a ZOO sometimes; especially if you have kids? I know mine is; more often than not...LOL! I used two Storage Units, Ink & More sets for my card this week. I used the LET'S PLAY set and the new (just released today) set, WELCOME TO THE ZOO. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Prismacolor Markers. I used my white gel pen to add polka dots to the green dress. The cardstock colors are Bazzill brown (card base & circles; don't have the exact color name), Core'dinations (blue), Green Galore, and Only Orange. I also used the same, fun American Crafts paper as I did on THIS card. The WELCOME TO THE ZOO image is cut out and popped up on the striped ribbon. You can check out more challenge cards from the other design team members on the SUINK Blog.

And, don't forget to check out the three NEW Storage Units, Ink & More sets that were released today. They are absolutely ADORABLE.
