#mushrooms Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a pretty nature print with beautiful colors!

INSPIRATIONAL SKETCHES

I just got this Inspirational Sketches set with some extra host credits I had. I love the sketchy images…don’t know why I didn’t get it before now. But I’m glad it is staying available for a while longer! This card I combined one of the new In Colors, Petunia Pop, with Pebbled Path for a more muted look!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Petunia Pop cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pebbled Path cardstock was embossed with the Distressed Brick Embossing Folder.
The arch from the Garden Meadow Dies was cut from Petunia Pop cardstock and blended around the edges with Pebbled Path Ink and a Blending Brush.
The mushrooms were stamped with Blackberry Bliss Ink in the center.
The grass was cut with the Garden Meadow Dies from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and sponged along the bottom with Pebbled Path Ink, then added to the bottom of the arch. It was added to the front.
The greeting from Inspirational Sketches was stamped with Pebbled Path on 3/4 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock, cut one end at an angle, and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the background.

Doesn’t that capture the look of the inspiration photo? OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have some DARLING mushroom cupcakes!

HIPPO HAPPINESS AND CACTUS BUILDER PUNCH

I don’t have the cute Iconic Dies that Mary used on her card (and inspiration for this cupcake photo!), so had to get creative! Mary likes to challenge me once in a while! But I think I rose to the challenge, even though I used a lot of different dies and punches to get there!

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Just Jade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/2 piece of Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP was added to the front (punch out the mushroom stems with the Cactus Builder Punch in a place that will be covered by the leaf DSP.)
- Add a 2 x 5 piece of the tropical leaf pattern in the Bloom Where You Are Plante DSP and adhere to left side.
- Cut the large medallion with Hippo & Friends Dies from Just Jade cardstock. Stamp the It’s Your Birthday greeting from Mischievous Mouse Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink in upper right corner. Add to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut two different sized Layering Circles from Real Red cardstock with the Dies. Add Basic White 1/4″ circles to the top and trim the bottom on a curve. Use the two punched Cactus Builder mushroom stems and adhere everything to the medallion with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut the grass with Palm Dies from Granny Apple Green cardstock. Adhere to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut the flowers from Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Bermuda Bay cardstock with the Hippo & Friends flower die. Add to grass.
- Stamp the butterfly from Hippo Happiness with Bumblebee detail and Daffodil Delight background on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Hippo & Friends Die. Add to the background with Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Add Matte Decorative Dots to the flower centers and the butterfly body.

Ha! I did it!!! The DSP and the Cactus Builder Punch worked PERFECTLY for the stems of the mushrooms! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
