How many of you utilize Pinterest? I LOVE, love, LOVE Pinterest! It is a smorgasbord of unending inspiration and ideas.
And, believe it or not, I actually make recipes from ideas pinned and use my inspiration boards for ideas when creating. Now if I would actually use the organization and cleaning pins!! snort!!
This past week, I have had to make a total of FOUR cards in a span of a couple of days.
Four cards. In a span of a couple of days. People, I haven't created four cards in a MONTH in a very, veryveryvery long time!!
I needed two cards for office birthdays that we were celebrating the same day at an office lunch. And, I got asked to make the cards the day before the lunch. Of course, my creative mojo decided it wanted a vacation. My Pinterest Inspiration board to the rescue!!
Basically, I took the easy way out and CASEd (copy andstole shared everything) of this fabulous card by beesmom on Splitcoaststampers. , but I had to do it with a twist as I couldn't find a die large enough to cut a frame to fit the enlarged card size needed for all the office to sign and hold the gift certificates.
And I had a slight problem cutting down on the background!! I REALLY liked it! LOL!!

I wish you could see the shimmer on the background. Very slight, but eye catching in person! I popped up the main images with dimensional tape to add an extra pop.
Details: Cards size. I honestly don't remember. I believe the base was 5"x 5.5". Distress Paints in Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey. A mixture of Glimmer Mist Pearl and Luminarte Radiant Rain Pearl Blue. Embossing folder Sizzix Tropical Paisley. Dies: Tim Holtz's Garden Greens, Sizzix Bird w/Leaves and Flower.
The technique video that I used for the background can be found here.
I will share the second card I made using this same technique but in a totally different way in a few days!
Until then................use those inspiration pictures and create!

Seems like I'm struggling just to do the basics this summer. Of course factor in a garden that is growing like it's on steroids and lots of canning going on and it's no wonder my creative juices are drying up. Love your card! Your plans for the music room and the new craft room sound great!
gorgeous.... as always. i'm constantly on PINTEREST. i even cook now because of it. (horrors i know!)
hugs :)
Gorgeous card. So easy to get 'lost' on Pinterest! LOL
Your cards always blow me away. And the fact that you can just put that together the day before is equally astounding. You have such a talent for this!! Hallmark better watch out... :)
