Friday Inspiration: Playing In The Rain

 Good day and welcome to my humble blog. I'm an Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up! and I'm here to offer you inspiration and encourage you to get into your craft space to get creative. Every Friday in my Facebook group, Diane's Craft Space, I post an inspirational card. I try to keep it simple so even a beginner can CASE it (Copy And Share Everything).

Here is this week's card using all current product except the Stitched Circle die but you can use Stylish Shape Dies (159183) or the 2 3/8" Circle Punch (161354).

I created two versions of this card. The one above is using all current products and horizontal. The other below (scroll down a bit) uses almost all retired products and created vertically but same sketch layout.

I used the following products:

• Playing In The Rain stamp set (160542)
• Playing In The Rain dies (160550)
• Most Adored DSP (162976)
• Fresh As A Daisy DSP (161289)
• Copper Clay card stock (161721)
• Copper Clay ink pad (161647)
• Memento ink pad (132708)
• Stampin' Blends: Light Cherry Cobbler (154880), Dark Daffodil (154883), D&L Crumb Cake (154882), D&L Old Olive (154892), D&L Soft Sea Foam (154902)
• Stitched Circle (retired) but can use 2 3/8" Circle Punch (161354) or Stylish Shapes dies (159183)
• Opaque Faceted Gems (162979)
• Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)

And then the decorated envelope and inside of the card. Keeping it simple with DSP and Mr Turtle.
 

Now here is the version of the same layout turned vertically using mostly retired products:

After seeing Helen's card this week on the Krafty Chicks Challenge blog, I had to dust off my pandas. This stamp set is the retired Party Pandas, it was a FREE SAB set a few years back and I just couldn't part with it. 

I finished the inside the same as the previous card. I'm really that simple!

 

 So tell me, which version do you prefer?? Are you Team Turtle or Team Panda??

 

That's all for today! I hope you liked my creation and it inspires you to get into your craft space today. If you do CASE this card or find inspiration to create something, please share with Diane's Craft Space on Facebook, we love seeing what you are up to.
