Friday Favorites!

Welcome to our Friday Favorite post. I know each Team member listed their favorite but as I look through their projects I have found several other items that I think are my new favorites. That is the fun in stopping by our blog you can be inkspired by so many great designers. Don't forget that the best way to save a project for future inkspiration is to pin it or follow us on Facebook and Pinterest.

My Paper Pumpkin w/ Kim

Hey Everyone...Kim here!  The My Paper Pumpkin Kit this month was SO CUTE!  I wanted to show you all what you are missing if you do not get this monthly!

This month we received a card kit with supplies enough to make 4 regular size cards with envelopes and 4 smaller size cards with envelopes.  Once you used all of the card bases provided, there was plenty of other supplies left over to use a little of your own cardstock and create MORE!

So here is what one of the cards looks like straight from the sample Stampin' Up! created...

Don't you just LOVE the negative image word cut out?!?!  And PINK sequins!!

Everything you see on this card came directly from the kit!  (Except that I will say I used the Dotty Angles Stamp Set to stamp the dots on the top of the card all at once instead of individually with the single dot stamp we received in the kit.  I used that single dot at the bottom where the dots are more spread out!)

And here is a card that I made using some of the kit contents and some of my own... 

I decided to go Black and White with a pop of PINK on this card.  I used a Basic Black cardstock base, a little bit of Back to Black DSP and some Smokey Slate ink!  The pop of pink comes from those super cute sequins that were in the kit!

Remember...

You MUST sign up by September 10th in order to get HALF OFF your first 2 My Paper Pumpkin Kits!  This is such a great deal!  Don't miss out on it!

All of our Design Team Members are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators so if you don't currently have a Demonstrator, we would love for you to sign up with one of us!  Let us know if you have any questions.  Head here to sign up NOW!

Masculine Monday

August Card Sketch winner...

Congrats Sheri at Paper Bag Create for this fun monster card!

And, don't forget YOU can play along in our weekly challenges, too!!

1st Monday - Color Combo

2nd Monday - Card Sketch

3rd Monday - Layout Sketch

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We like to keep with tradition around here and since it's the last Monday of the month that means it's Masculine Monday! Oftentimes making cards specifically for men is a hard task (we love our bling, glitter, and ribbon!) but we hope that some of our designers have helped inspire you to think "manly" today and get out some ink, paper, and stamps to create a little something just for the men in your lives. Be sure to click on the designer's names below each card to visit their blogs to find out more information about the card. 

Thanks for stopping by today...have a Happy Monday!!

Washi Tape Back to College Ideas

Hello everyone, Tonya here from Stampin' With Tonya. So many of you  are sending kids back to school right now and that is also the case in our house but we are also adding a college student into the mix. My daughter is all ready started college for the year but before she went I was trying to think of a fun was to decorate her room. Then it hit me, why not use Washi Tape! I will admit I don't use mine nearly as much as I should but one of the advantages of Washi Tape is that is isn't permanent. So if she gets tired of the items we can just redo them with new Washi Tape patterns and you can add it to walls, furniture and so much more. I have shared just a few ideas but there are so many more, why not get  your Washi Tape out and find a fun way to create with it today. I would love to hear from you! 

Washi Tape Cork Board. For this project I used 6x6 cork squares and the Washi Tape. I started with one piece and after getting the design I wanted I laid the next blank piece on top and lined the tape up with the tape below. No measuring this way or worrying about getting the angels correct.

 

Another item I decided to make is to cover Binder Clips that you can use for pictures or to hold papers together. The picture in the clip above it actually I picture of my kids from my oldest son's 8th grade graduation so consider it my #tbt

Every girl needs a place to keep notes and this notebook I found at a local store is a great canvas for a Washi Tape design. I used two different collections of Washi Tape the first is from the Everyday Adventures Project Life Accessory Pack and the Epic Day Designer Washi Tape.

My final project is a simple spaghetti jar that I upcycled to set on a desk to hold pens, change or whatever my daughter needs to put in it. I used the Washi Tape again, I added Calypso Coral Chevron Ribbon around the top to finish it off and cover the ridges that are on the top of the jar. 

You can pin any of the ideas with the easy Pin It buttons beside each picture. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Tonya
