Pinspired Challenge #17

Check out this pretty pin from Pinspired Challenges:

I was inspired by the colors and the quilt blocks, here's my quick card:

Stamped sentiment: Unity Stamp Co.
Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee
White cardstock: PaperSource

Happy Birthday!

The Pinspired Challenge blog has inspired me again. Here's the pin this week:

That's a lot of color, so to tone it down to fit my own style better, I stamped on white cardstock, and kept the design simple. I wouldn't normally pair up orange and this bright pink, but it totally works, that's the great thing about challenges like this! I added some gold trim to bling the card up a little bit.

The CFC101 challenge at CAS-ual Fridays this week is to stamp on designer paper, so I'm also entering this card there, since I stamped and then fussy cut the images.  Thanks for stopping by today!

 Patterned papers: Kaisercraft, Echo Park
Stamps: Unity Stamp Co.
Ink: Memento  

Unity Friends with Flair and Birthday Card Swap

I decided to link up with Unity Friends with Flair this week. Thanks for stopping by!

My scrappy friends and I are doing a card swap. Send in 10 cards and get 10 different cards back. When I do swaps like this I usually send in 10 completely different designs. Even when I do batches of Christmas cards they all end up quite different. I guess I get bored with the same design over and over again. This time I found a design I didn't mind repeating, though you will see that each card is still unique!

Here's the base card design, using Unity's itty bitty image and sentiment "Fabulous Girl". I used some ledger paper as the card background, so I'm also linking this project up to the Paper Girls Challenge blog.

And here are all 10 cards.

While I had my supplies out I made a matching gift card holder.
