Design a Day Challenge: Day 27

I wanted to get away from some of the same themes and ideas I've had recently, so I went to my Pinterest boards for a little inspiration.

Believe it or not, this is what inspired me today:

And this is what I came up with for my design:

Kinda makes me want to hop on a ship and take to the ocean! Ahoy matey!

Design a Day Challenge: Day 26

For day 26, I've come back down to earth and have moved away from the holiday season. After all, it is July. July means summer, which means bright bold colors. I think this chevron design does the trick.

These bold ones are square note cards and super heavy weight linen card stock. I rounded the corners to add a little more fun to them. Lastly, I designed them in four fun color combos. Now if that isn't a return to summer from my little vacation to Christmas, then I don't know what is!

Design a Day Challenge: Day 23

Today's design is all about triangles. I'd gotten back into the paper cutting groove when I was without ink for a few days so I decided to keep at it. Here, I've used a mix of patterned paper and solid paper for the triangles. Sticking with the main patterned paper, I used green, grey, and aqua and my other colors and added layers.

By the way, does the patterned paper look familiar? That's paper from Katie's Wish. The same Lake digital paper set I used for the Etsy Greetings Team challenge last month.

Design a Day Challenge: Day 22

I forgot to post my design! Can you imagine that?! Truth is, I was so excited about the arrival of my ink that I completely put this on the back burner and didn't remember until I woke up about, eh, 16 minutes ago.

So my design for yesterday is as follows---

I love the colors and the mod look. Textured sea blue card stock, textured apple green card stock, all on a white linen flat note. A little modern looking 'hello' finishes these up. Plus, there you'll see another wonderful colored envelope that I just recently added to my shop! So bright and bold! These are my new faves! ;)

Travel Colors

You know those stationery sets that I've been talking about? Well, I have a little sneak peek for you. Each design is based off of a color pallet that has a bit of meaning behind it. All of the colors are pulled directly from my own photography from my personal travels all over the world and Baltimore. While I am waiting to reveal these designs to you until they've been printed and listed, I'll let you see what sorts of colors I've been playing with over the last few weeks.

Yellowstone

Sherwood Garden

Rocky Mountains
