Wake Up & Create Thursday #TA4L026

Welcome to another edition of Wake Up & Create Thursday here on the blog.

It’s a little mix of Throwback Thursday with an image or sketch inspiration to use to inspire you to shop your stash and combine some old favourites with new goodies in a new way and than share to inspire others to do the same with their stash! Today’s challenge is a fun sketch inspiration #TA4L026 

I’m getting inky with an old favourite Peaceful Deer stamp set combined with the new Christmas Mice bundle, Pool Party ink blending, Smokey Slate, Petal Pink and Real Red blends, adhesive backed Snowflakes, Wink of Stella and unbranded silver twine. 

Love the little Christmas Mouse bringing home his Christmas tree.

Would love for you to join the fun and play along with the #TA4L026 challenge. Please add the challenge graphic with a link back to the blog on your post. When you’re done add your link below to share with us all! 

Happy Stampin’

Clean & Simple Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Clean & Simple Saturday - the continuous striving to master the clean & simple design principles.

 

Todays card design was inspired by playing along to a few fun challenges:  CAS ON Friday - Shades of Grey #CASF344

CAS Colours & Sketches #CASCS595 - fun sketch trio.

Addicted to CAS code word HAPPY - I used a Happy Holidays sentiment.

Clean & Simple CAS cards for beginners #saturdaychallenge40 - Windows and I used the window from the Christmas Mice dies.

Almost Clean & Simple CAS cards #saturdaychallenge16 Anything Goes but don’t use white or cream which pairs nicely with the Shades of Grey palette.

I’m getting inky with the Christmas Mice bundle, Everyday Arches dies, retired Snowflake Kisses, Silver Metallic DSP, Smoky Slate and Black Hybrid inks and  and rhinestones.

 

Another Happy Holidays card for the upcoming season and an example of having to try to fix a ‘ink where you don’t want it” blunder. I dropped my blending brush and it made a grey smudge on the corner of my card front after I had already glued down my window and other embellishments so had to try to make it look purposeful by adding blending around the other edges hopefully it doesn’t effect the clean & simple criteria 😜

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday - using the extra design space to show off pretty DSP today! 

My design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges: The Card Concept  #tcc229 mood board & colour palette of yellow, green, black and white.

TGIF challenge Hello Fall Mood board #TGIF596

Getting inky with Sunflower Fields DSP with sticker sheet, Christmas Mice bundle, Soiree Salutations stamp set, Glimmer pen in Golden Rod, Moody Palette gems and blends to colour my mouse. 

Perfect Grateful for You card for a sunflower lover - 🌻 Have I mentioned how much I love the little mice - they can hold so many different things which makes them so much more than Christmas Mice 🐭
