My Pink Stamper = inspiration

I love making cards .... and the funny thing about that is I do not have a "stash" of cards. So when I need a birthday card, etc. I usually have to quickly make one. Sometimes I try too hard to come up with an original idea .... so I resort to scraplifting from different blogs. My first stop last weekend was to My Pink Stamper. This is also where I started when I first started card making.

I started by going through all of her videos to get some "inspiration". Boy, did I ever get some inspiration ... I made 16 different cards in 2 days (I made 2, 4, or 6 of each card depending on what it was and what supplies I had on hand).

I will be showcasing the cards I made over the next couple of days.

Man's Shirt Pocket Card

I saw this card on Pinterest and had to give it a go. You can find the pattern here. I created my pocket and collar on my Gypsy.



Recipe:
A2 card
Gypsy - weld a square and a triangle to create shirt pocket from George & Basic Shapes. After looking at TBBM, I notice I could have manipulated a tag (blackout - button number six) - that probably would have been a lot easier (lol).
For the collar I used a triangle from Wild Card.
Faux stitching using a white Uni-ball Signo pen.
Buttons from the dollar bin at Michael's.
Silver brads for the pocket rivets.

Tissue Box Cover - 1

I met Susan at Card Club the beginning of the month. She made some of these tissue box covers and they are absolutely beautiful. I fell in love with this one. Anyway, I decided to try my hand at making one too. Here is what I came up with:



Recipe:
I used the Stars & Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folders
The instructions for making this can be found here.
