Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

Sunday we had out monthly Stampers class and I wanted to have them make something special. So all who attended got to make these cute little totes, (pattern found on SCS)fill them with CHOCOLATE and then they got to make two cards too!! You never know what you’ll get to do when you come to my classes!!  We did make two baskets for two of our ladies who have had some illnesses and weren’t able to attend. I hope they enjoy their little totes. The ladies remarked how much they actually looked like a regular totebag, with the little side bands and all.. They all turned out beautiful!!

Two different designer papers were used here. Some were from the Sweet & Sour Specialty set, and some from Springtime Vintage dsp set.

This is a different basket where I used the “reverse” of the pink and vanilla from the sweet & sour collection. The egg is from Easter Blossoms stamp set, only available through 30 April.

I’ll post the cards they made later this weekend, after the Creative-Sketches challenge coming up tomorrow. So be sure to come back and see what they made. They all had to “pick their color combos”… what a decision!!

Hi everyone!! Welcome to this week’s Creative-Sketches challenge. We had a sketch with ANYTHING GOES, so I made a little tote. I didn’t put the top note on the purse itself, but I have some cards in progress with the top note and a smaller flower similar to the one on the purse. I’ll have them up later this week.Here is the sketch we had for this week.

Here is my tote.  If you’d like to make one like this, I made it from Paper Crafters Library Patterns. There is a ton of videos, techniques and fun things to make in PCL.

I made the purse and spritzed the flower. The flower uses a couple different techniques to make it.  I hope you enjoy my “anything” for this week’s challenge. Be sure to check the rest of the blogs with their samples.

I laide my flower in my color spray box and just spritzed it with the vanilla and gold spritz I had left.
