Party This Way – A Stamping Journey

This picture was one of the INKSPIRATIONS4U Challenges that was set a few weeks ago. Use this picture as an inspiration for a card.

It was a tricky one and I know it had me stumped for a bit. What would you do? Would you base it on the colours?? Use the shapes such as the swirls or circles or perhaps the stripes?? In the end I picked out some of the colours and I wanted to use circles in there somehow. Here is my end result.

I went with Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and Old Olive. I thought these colours would suit a masculine type card. I ran some Old Olive card through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and layered it on Chocolate Chip. I wrapped around some twine and adhered that to a Crumb Cake base. I punched out various circles with the 1″, 1 1/4″, 1 3/8″ circle punch. I added some eyelets to 3 of the circles. I adhered the circles in a formation with Snail or raising some with mounting tape. The greeting is stamped with Chocolate Chip and is from “Party This Way”. This was quite a fun card to do in the end.

Thanks for stopping by. Pop back again over the weekend and I will show you a card that nearly didn’t happen!

I can’t say that the content of these bags would make you skinny, but the bags are called clear skinny bags I managed to get from the US. You can get them through clearbags.com.

We made these in my Gift Packaging Class a couple of weeks ago. You can decorate them anyway you like to give as little treats for someone.

Here is a close-up of the Topper.

For this I have used Elements of Style, Party This Way and Lots of Tags. Can you pick them? I have also used the large scallop circle punch from the Summer Mini which has been withdrawn at the moment.

This is the other bag using ‘Perfect Punches’
