SIP #113 Back to School Challenge with Lil' Inker Designs Apple of My Eye

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Did you watch the Solar Eclipse yesterday???  It was really cool and actually more exciting than I expected it to be!  My favorite part was that as it started getting dark the crickets started making noise and the lighting bugs started coming out!  Now that was cool!  

So since it is Tuesday you know that means it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!  This week's theme is back to school!

Time to pull out my cool Lil' Inker Designs Apple of My Eye stamp set and coordinating Apple Shaker Die Set for this one!

Luckily for me I had some retired DSP that had the cool black and white designs that worked awesome for this theme!  I used Stampin' Up! Lemon Lime Twist for the base as well as the apple and leaf.  The DSP has skinny mats in Basic Black cardstock.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings, Tina

SIP #98 Kid's Birthday Card Challenge - Lil' Inker Apple of My Eye

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I had a wonderful weekend visiting granddaughters so this week's challenge over at Stamp, Ink, Paper was an easy one!  This week it's all about Kid's Birthdays and I have lots of those cards to make for my grandchildren!  

One of the sayings I've always used to my granddaughter Taylor is "you're the apple of my eye" so  when I found this adorable Lil' Inker's stamp set I knew I had to have it!

I love the Lil' Inker  Apple Shaker Die Set that makes this adorable stitched apple!  I used Stampin' Up! Black Archival Ink to stamp the sentiment from the Lil' Inker Apple of My Eye Stamp Set on my apple!  One of the things that I added to make this one fun for Taylor is to add a Hampton Art Action Wobble Spring behind the apple.  I can just see Taylor playing with  it and asking everything about it.   She loves crafts and loves to make cards.  I had given her some of my Paper Pumpkin card kits and she has had so much fun.  I know she'll want some of these Wobble Springs now!  lol

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
