ISS Blog Hop Anything Goes

Hello Kre8tors and welcome to another Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop! Today I’m sharing my Quick DSP Card using the Forever Greenery Suite Collection. These cards can be made quickly and they are relatively flat, which is great for mailing!

Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the post and click that Next button when you’re done here to hop along to the next amazing project!

This card features the Forever Fern stamp set, the coordinating Forever Flourishing Dies, the gorgeous Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, and the beautiful ribbon from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack. I absolutely love all the shades of green on this card!

I love doing a “z” style ribbon fold behind my sentiments. I think it adds just the right amount of texture. This ribbon stands out well against the designer series paper layer, and the stripes compliment the fern images nicely.

I achieved the variegated look on my ferns by inking my stamp in a lighter color, and then going over the edges with a sponge dauber and a darker color. This is a great technique to play with!

I finished this card off with a few pearl accents and love how it turned out! It’s so simple and easy to make. Using the beautiful designer series paper really adds some fun to the background.

Delicate Daisy Delight Card

January 3, 2018January 3, 2018 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

Can we just talk about this card for a second? I’m in LOVE with it! Daisy Delight has always been one of my favorite sets, but it wasn’t until I REALLY started to play around with it that I realized just how much use I would get out of it.

This card features Powder Pink with Basic Gray and that color combination is really grabbing my attention! Not to mention sprucing it up with some BRAND NEW products from the Occasions 2018 catalog! I’ve added the beautiful Silver Baker’s Twine behind the sentiment for a little extra bling.

Clean & Quick Cards SERIES 10 with Background Bits

December 22, 2017December 19, 2017 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

The next card in my Clean & Quick Cards SERIES includes a hostess only stamp set, Background Bits. This is such a cute and feminine set. I really like how gentle it is on this beautiful card. I opted to add some delicious Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon to the top of this card, but if you like to make and mail flat cards, you could easily leave the ribbon off.

This card was super quick, and it’s very easy to whip together in a hurry for many different occasions. The sentiment in this set and featured on this card reads “you’re always so thoughtful!” and I just think that is perfect for a thank you card.

If you love this set, you can pick one up on an order of $150+ in my shop or you can host a party and collect orders from friends and family. I’d be happy to help you host a virtual party either on Facebook, through email, or I can even make an exclusive YouTube video just for your party! Contact me today to set up your virtual party!

Clean & Quick Cards SERIES 8 – Christmas Quilt

December 15, 2017December 13, 2017 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

Okay, now I know I said my Elegant Poinsettia card would be my last Christmas Card, but I was just joking… I may even continue to make Christmas cards well into the New Year! Just kidding… maybe. 😉

This card is SO simple, it literally only has two stamps on it! Granted, one of those stamps is stamped several times all over the card, but still! It couldn’t get much simpler than this card.

I love how the gold reflects the light and pairs so well with the white and black on this very simple card. I think it might just be one of my favorites! It reminds me of a stippling effect that I learned in art class back in the 6th grade. Whew, how time flies!

Clean & Quick Cards SERIES 7 – Weather Together

December 14, 2017December 13, 2017 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

The next card in my Clean & Quick Cards Series is this easy, white embossed present card with a simple sentiment. This card is VERY clean with just a few elements that really make it stand out.

With minimal supplies this card could be replicated with a variety of stamp sets and materials. Using this format, you could make a card for just about any reason in a matter of minutes!

I’m a huge fan of white embossing on a darker colored base, and the Crumb Cake base on this card is absolutely perfect for this technique! The glitter enamel dots give a pop of color and can easily be changed out for pearls or rhinestones to keep it neutral.
