Happy Friday! We are so glad you stopped by today, it's Pinspiration
Friday! Every day, we scour the Internet for inspiring MME projects. We
find your work on your blogs, through
our FB page,and in online galleries.
We pin the ones that inspire us most!
Then once a month we challenge our designers to use one of your creations as inspiration for a layout or card.
This month Danni and Tamara arejoining us. Here's what they came up with. Enjoy and have a lovely, creative weekend!
Inspiration Piece: Valerie O'Neall
Danni's version:
Supplies:Kate&Co-Cambridge Court:Doubles patterned paper, chipboard embellishments, decorative brads, enamel dots;Misc:Tim Holtz ink blender tool, Papertrey Ink Fresh Snow and Spring Moss ink and Stamper's Select cardstock, machine stitching
Danni says: I chose this absolutely beautiful canvas from
Valerie O'Neall because I loved the scattering of embellishments.
On my card, I created my background block of paper using my Tim Holtz
ink blender, white cardstock and Papertrey Inks. I started with PTI
Spring Moss and blended it over a block of PTI Stamper's Select
cardstock. After blending the Spring Moss ink, I lightly
blended some Fresh Snow ink over the top and then blended a light coat
of Spring Moss.
The gorgeous embellishments from the Kate & Co. Cambridge Court
line make creating the scatter of embellies easy and fun. I absolutely
love the chipboard embellies in this line, especially this polaroid
frame, I love to stitch the frame and then layer
it. The colors in this line are so feminine, beautiful and happy!
Inspiration Piece: Michelle Unruh
Tamara's version:
Supplies: Decorative Tape Sets: Grey, Navy, Red, Black, and Yellow;
Kate and Co.-Cambridge Court:Stripes patterned paper; Find Your Wings
and Fly: "Up and Away": black enamel dots, "Happy" sticker, Collectable -
Remarkable: label stickers, Lush: red chipboard
letters; Misc: White and black cardstock, red thread, black ink and
pen.
Tamara says:I was so inspired by this beautiful washi tape birthday card by Michelle Unruh. I really liked her mix of patterns and how she placed the decorative tapes at an angle.
For my layout, I wanted the decorative tapes to be the main focus
and to create the "patterned paper" for my layout. I pulled the colors
from the photos and used 3 different patterns of the 5 colors: black,
blue, grey, red, and yellow. I placed the decorative
tapes in a chevron pattern - it echoes the interlocking lego bricks in
the photos.
Tip: Place the decorative tapes on a white piece of paper,
overlapping the ends.Trim the excess with an Exacto knife
and wrap the ends around to the back.
I LOVE the variety of tape colors and patterns that MME has created
in their decorative tape sets. They coordinate with virtually every
page!
I rounded the corners of the yellow paper - as Michelle rounded two
corners of her card. I used a strip of navy blue chevron tape along
the bottom of the page and provide a place to "anchor" the chipboard
title.
