a little Pinspiration

Pinterest is the best for trying to beat creative block, don't you think? I recently made 3 cards inspired by various things I found on Pinterest. Check it out...

Make It Monday #65

I'm still going strong with my very small collection of PTI stamps - I hope you're not getting bored, but I'm really feeling food about this because I've spent hundreds of dollars on these sets and I've barely used them at all!

In last week's Make It Monday video, Dawn McVey shared a card project that used strips of paper layered into a background. I love this technique, and I've used it a bunch of times. I didn't have PTI patterned paper, like she used, but I dug through my strap basket and pulled out a bunch of papers that coordinated with the Strawberry Patch stamp set. I decided to use the Wine Bottle Tag die (totally my fave!) to make a cute tag for the bottle of wine I gave my mom for Mother's Day.

 

I'll be back later on to catch up with all the cards I haven't shown you yet :)

Encouragement, BFF Style

So, I promise, I really did make this card yesterday. Last night, to be exact. And the lighting in my house is no good and there's just so much white that no matter what I did I couldn't get a decent picture of it. Hence why I'm posting it today.

The image and sentiment are from the A Muse Studio stamp set called Days Like This. I actually bought the set for this sentiment. I thought it was hilarious. But then before I got around to making a card with it, I thought maybe it was a little mean. Not very encouraging. But then I got to thinking about my dear friend Rebecca and how she's never hesitated to tell me all the things that are hard to hear. So, in my opinion, this is that kind of card, and I think it is really, in fact, very encouraging - for the right person, of course. Sometimes, what a good friend needs to hear is "Look, what you gotta do is suck it up and deal with it. And I'll be here to help you do that."

Day 7 will be up soon!
