Three In the Nest Creations: Pineapple Panache Stamps

Good morning! I'm a little under the weather this morning but I couldn't miss out on sharing my take on this week's CAS(E) this Sketch with you. I do hope you'll like it!

Here's the sketch:

When I created this sketch, I had nothing really in mind for it. I did love the shapes but I figured I'd be stumped when it came to making my card. Then I got the Quilted Flower Die Set and I knew it was just right for this sketch. I grabbed my Dip Dyed Ombre paper pad to make an amazing background and used leftover negative cuts from this card for my first swirly layer of flowers in coral. That is one of the main things I love about this die, all the parts that are cut are useful and gorgeous! No waste! Next, I cut a base flower to match my background and a flower in gold to layer on and bring a little pizazz to the card. I then stamped my sentiment from Pineapple Panache Stamps to match my bottom layer of flowers. I finished it off with some fun enamel dots and jewels.

I hope you liked my take on the sketch and will come join us at CAS(E) this Sketch. Back to bed for me...

Here's a look at what I used today:

It's day two of the Lil' Inker Designs New Release Hop and I'm having the hardest time deciding what to share with you on what days because I think it's all SO amazing! How's a girl to choose? Lucky for you, you can get it all right now in the Lil' Inker Store. You should have come here from the Lil' Inker Blog. If you didn't, don't miss out on the amazingness there. For now, I'm ready to show off some more fun stuff!

First up, I'm going to show off the Pineapple Panache Stamps and Pineapple Panache Dies.

Ok, these pineapples are way cool! You could do tons of fun combos with pattern and color but the patterns are even fun as an element of their own. I decided to use them for a fun black and white graphic punch on my card. I started with a green stripe using the Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles Dies and then added a sentiment from Pineapple Panache Stamps. Then I took some of the fun pineapple bottoms from Pineapple Panache Stamps and stamped them in a line on the top and bottom of my stripe. SO fun! Next, I cut out a pineapple with Pineapple Panache Dies and stamped my pineapple topper with Pineapple Panache Stamps. I embossed the topper with gold embossing powder which I reheated and layered 3 layers of gold embossing powder on. I liked that it gave me a sort of dipped look in the end. I finished off the pineapple with a faint pattern using watermark ink and then added my pink pineapple to my card. A couple blingy dots, and you have a pretty fun birthday card.

Next up, I went a little more nuts with pineapples but added the Cover Up Die: Dotted Scallops and the Greetings & Salutations Stamps.

I just love this card! So much shine and fun. I started with a black card base cut with the Cover Up Die: Dotted Scallops. I layered some gold foil paper behind to peek through those amazing holes! Next, I stamped and embossed a super fun sentiment from Greetings & Salutations Stamps on some gold dotted vellum. I cut a frame from some gold striped paper using the Wonky Squares Dies and framed my sentiment in the center of my card. I cut a gold and a black pineapple using the Pineapple Panache Dies and after embossing a fun gold pattern on my black pineapple with the Pineapple Panache Stamps, I layered the two and added them to my card. Love!
