Grunge Butterfly

Good Saturday Morning!  This post is going to be fast and quick because first of all, I slept in (well until 7:15). LOL! Second, I haven't had my coffe yet! YIKES!   Don't you just love Saturday mornings? 

This card was made with all Inque Boutique goodies inlcuding the patterned paper.  I love playing "Inque Boutique".

So what are your plans for the weekend? Today we are grilling out with my niece and her husband. GOOD TIMES!  I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  I better go start my coffee brewing now! He he he!

Alien Crayon Box

When I was a little kid, I loved to color! Maybe that's why I love these crayon box die cuts so much!  I stocked up on these years ago.  By gosh, I think I'm finally going to use them!  LOL!

The paper and the stamp set are by Inque Boutique!  The set is called Space Cadet. The paper is from the mini papers collection called Out of This World.

Wouldn't this make a fantastic birthday favor for a little boy's birthday party?  I put a regular sized Kit Kat in the box with some razzle dazzle filling! 

This one is going to a special pal of mine!

Coffee anyone?

Ack! I must say I love my morning coffee and I just knew that I needed this set when I spotted it in the Inque Boutique catalog! For this card I usedPage Seals, Mini Chai Latte, and The Mini Papers, Memoirs.  I love both of these sets and have some ideas brewing for using the Page Seals for other projects! And it's likke the Memoirs paper was MADE for the Mini Chai Latte set!  Oh man! In case you haven't noticed, stamping gets me excited just a wee bit!  LOL!  Happy Wednesday to all!

For the Sports Fan!

Hey Batter, Batter!  Sorry I get a bit carried about while I'm stampin'!  It's always good to have a sports stamp set on hand for the men/boys in your life!  They are usually pretty easy to use too.  This set is called, Sports (#50016) by Inque Boutique.  I also used Phantoms (#50221) and Sentiments (#50210) on this set.  The Phantoms are awesome to use if you want to give your background a touch of color.  They come in all different shapes and sizes too. I chose to make this card a baseball card. You also have the choice of basketball, football, soccer, or hockey!  I am so amazed at all of the stamps you get in the Inque Boutique sets!  More for your money!  That's always good!

Playin' Paisley

Check this out!  I made basically the same card four different times using a new color combo!  Talk about fun!  This set is perfect for color combinations!  It is by Inque Boutique and it is called Perfect Paisley (#50326).

This set comes with every imagineable paisley ever!  It is super easy to line up the paisleys!  I also love the sayings that come in this set.  I used two of them on my oval which I cut out with my Nestabilities! 

This next one was POPS!  See what color can do! WOOHOO! I just had to add some Kaiser Bling to this eye-poppin' card!

 

And don't forget about using Black to give it that extra umphf!

The scallop border punch is new from Stampin' Up! and will be in the new catalog!

 

 

I could make paisley cards all day long and just keep pulling out new inks! 

Okay here's the very last one that I tried!  Honestly, this paisley set is a blast!  Isn't it crazy how different each card looks?!  It's like a whole different card!

Oh and one more thing!  My friend, Lisa Zappa, has the most awesome reports on her blog from CHA!!!!!!!  I seriously feel like I was there! I do have a map, a t-shirt, and aprong, and a bunch of other goodies!  Maybe I was! 

 

One Must Have Sunshine!

Yippy Skippy! I'm having so much fun!  This stamp set, called Phantoms by Inque Boutique, is a MUST HAVE for any stamp collection.  They are made up of different background clusters!  Both the Soft Sky color blob and the Sunshine blobs are in this set! I love them.  Then I combined the set, Flutter By, Butterfly, with them and SHAZAM!!!!!!!!!  Easy peasy and you have an elegant card!  I love the sayings in this set! Just love them!

Happiness is in the journey!

Here's another super easy masculine cards! This Inque Boutique set, called Travel, is perfect to do a collage type card.  You just choose some colors and stamp the images together!  As you can see, I pulled out some of the fine details in the images by using some embelishments!

Permanent Record

I am totally using this set next year for school!  I work with 8th graders and there are times I'd like to give them some words of encouragement.  Something that is not too cheesey for an 8th grader! This card is perfect!  I used the stamp set called School Record by Inque Boutique! Totally fun to play with and I felt like I could plop the images down any place and it worked!  So much fun!  I think I better mass produce some of these now!

CD Case Photo Cube

ACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!  My friend Bevie is always sharing cool blogs that have fun ideas.  This idea was posted HERE.  Talk about a cool idea! I dug, and I dug, and I dug, and I was able to find some cd cases to play with. I pulled out my Cabana Patterened Paper from Inque Boutique. They had the pefect sheet in the pack that has all these cool summer sayings and such and I knew that would be perfect for this project. I decided to make a summer cube instead of putting photos on it. I ordered up some more cd cases and will definately be making more of these. They are super fun! 

Summer Flamingo

I decide that today was the day to work with "Escape" from Inque Boutique.  The thing that caught my eye about this set,was all the swirls and the wider lines in this set.  It's perfect for summer (cuz I am a seasonal stamper)!  I also happen to know a very good friend who LOVES FLAMINGOS!  This set screams "Pink and Black" to me.  I added a touch of green cuz well ya know I love green!  LOL!
