Papertrey & Pinterest

Papertrey Ink is now on Pinterest! Like some of you, I am a huge fan of Pinterest and it's my go-to place for inspiration. I love Pinterest not only for its unlimited inspiration but also for its convenience. Ideas and color combos are booked marked in a visible and organized format and are easily accessed via my computer or smart phone. So inspiration is available almost everywhere I go. Papertrey Ink has joined in on the Pinterest craze (you can find them here), and now it's as easy as ever to find your favorite Papertrey Ink projects and inspiration. If you're not familiar with Pinterest be sure to check it out, but I warn you... it's a bit addicting! Stop by Nichole's blog for more info.

So, for today, our focus is on finding and sharing a single inspiration piece (via Pinterest) that has inspired our cards for the day. Here's what I found...Instantly, I fell in love with the colors on this mug! The white base with the pop of color is so me, but for today's project I've chosen to be inspired by the design. My inspiration piece can be found here.In my mind, I translated the design on the mug as a number of die cut banner strips cut down the center. To create, I began by die cutting Double Ended Banners from pattern paper (Basic Grey Sweet Threads Collection). Cut down the center of each and attached to a Rustic White card base at staggering lengths.
Next, I pulled out my Celebration stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Spring Moss and Dark Chocolate. Finished the card off with a stamped flower (from the Hanging Out stamp set), a rhinestone, Raspberry Fizz buttons and a tiny ribbon bow.

Such a great inspiration piece, I'm sure I'll be using it again. Now, be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's Pinterest inspiration...
In case your wondering... you can find me on Pinterest here. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!
