Impression Obsession

Tuesday with Tara {take 443} Every Little Thing

Sometimes we need a reminder that every little thing is going to be alright.  Today’s card is a spin off inspired by our current Inspiration Hop theme- Sunshine & Rainbows!  If you haven’t checked it out, it’s not too late to get your name in for a chance to win, and leave our creative team of ladies some love while you are at it!

I’ve used some of the extra cut out pieces from the larger rainbow on my other card to make a mini one here, pairing it with these fun cloud border dies (with stitched edges, like the oblong dies I used for my rainbow!) and letting this sweet Piglet stamp & sentiment by Impression Obsession steal the show!

I used some mini butterfly dies from my stash (these are by Memory Box) cut from scraps and mounted the card layers onto a sunny Marigold card base to keep things really bright!

Little details like using the body from a different piglet stamp to add stripes to some of the butterflies and cutting the middle layer of clouds from inky book print add some fun interest that keep this card from being totally crisp.  I love adding inky details to my cards!  Hope this one brings a smile to your day!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 431} Cardinals in love

Happy Tuesday!

It feels like the new year just started, but here we are with Valentine’s Day right around the corner already!  I’ve got one more card to share with you that can be used for the occasion, though I left a sentiment off it so it could also be used for an anniversary or just a thinking of you card for a bird lover.

I created a gate fold A2 card, scoring it at 2.125 from each end so they meet in the center.  On the left panel, I added a strip of patterned paper with a text print from my current favorite 6×6 pad.

I really wanted to use this Cardinal Pair stamp by Penny Black at Christmas, but never got around to it… so I was pleased that die cutting it in a heart shape allowed me to cut out or hide the ornaments.  I simply stamped it in black ink and then inked the edges with Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink.  I had pre-made some mini Brushstroke Flowers in shades of coral, so I decided to use them along with some crinkle ribbon I had dyed to match.

Because I had the flowers pre-made, this card went together fairly quickly!  Here’s one more photo with my ribbon untied so you can see the gatefold.

This card would be really pretty with red flowers as well, especially if you colored the cardinals in their shades of red & brown!

I hope you enjoy it!  Have a wonderful week and Valentine’s Day, however you celebrate it (or Wednesday if you don’t).

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday, friends!  This card was inspired by all the pretty new Prism Studio papers- there’s a gorgeous range of Whole Spectrum Foil Cardstock  and Whole Spectrum Glitter Cardstock.
Today I chose to showcase a trio of hearts in RUBY.  Isn’t it pretty!?  I’ve also used the Brushed Gold Foil for the die cut “love” sentiment.  I kept this card really simple, cutting 3 hearts the same size from one of the Prism Nesting Hearts dies.  I chose to let the glittery heart be the central one, though it could have gone either way!  I had a 2″ strip of Patterned Paper (from the vintage letters 6×6 pad by IO) and mounted it to the lower portion of an A2 Kraft Card.  I mounted my trio of hearts from the outside in, giving the glittery heart a 3D boost with some foam squares.
The sentiment features stamps & dies from Honey Bee’s ‘Bitty Buzzwords’ set.  I added some foam squares to the edges of the sentiment strip as well so it was level over the central glitter heart.

And here’s another photo so you can get a better look at all that shine!   I know it’s simple, but isn’t it pretty, too!?  It feels like a very classic Valentine to me!  I hope you like it too.

Inky hugs,

Tara
