Today I am once again hopping around the world, with all my crafty friends, for the Around The World on Wednesday Blog Hop.
Our theme for this hop is "Favorite Inspiration"
Whenever I am not feeling particularly inspired, my go-to is card sketches!
I find that once I have a sketch to get me started....I am on the right track again.
Here is the sketch I chose for today/s card:
And here is my card:
Now you will notice that I did not follow the sketch exactly. I put my top and bottom pieces of DSP under the center piece as I wanted the center piece to be more promininent. Also I put a mat layer behind my focal image.....to make it pop.
Here is a video tutorial for this card:
The stamp set that I used was the super cute new Hot Dog stamp set found on page 72 of the new J2J Mini Catalog, item#154497.....Here is a pic of that set:

Now it is time to hop on over to the next blog for some more crafty fun:
I am popping by today to share with you a card I made for a friend who needed to be congratulated.
Here is my card:
To make my card I used my stamparatus and did the hinge step stamping technique.
I placed the congratulations stamp at the top left, and stamped in red ink. Then I removed the stamparatus plate and moved it down two notches on the hinge and reinked and stamped again. I repeated this one more time. That completed all the red greetings..
Next, I thoroughly cleaned my stamp and removed it from the plate and put the plate back in the starting position. I placed the stamp between the first two red greetings but to the far right. I inked with Memento Black ink.. and stamped. I moved the plate down two notches in the hinge and reinked and stamped again.....this completed the black greetings.
Next, I grabbed the sprinkles stamp from the new Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and added "confetti" to the card using Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, and Bermuda Bay.
I then used a Gorgeous Grape mat layer and a Basic Black card base. I love how celebratory and cheerful this card turned out!
Now, I have a challenge for you.....I want you to grab your stamparatus and try the hinge step stamping technique.....when you are done....take a pic and send it to me......
Everyone who sends me a card will get their cards posted on my blog. Your work and creativity will inspire others to get stamping and to try the hinge step stamping technique!
Here is a quick video showing stamparatus technique:
