{Simple} Inspiration

Hi Everyone!  Donna here, your host for the blog today.  I think you might have surmised by now that the entire design team is in love with Sn@p!  Aren't you?  I mean, it is so amazingly fun and vibrant and happy!  I hope you will forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but once again I find that Simple Stories has the most inspiring designs.  I'd like to show you today how I took inspiration from the Sn@p! Icon Stickers:

to create a layout and two cards.  I was first drawn to the circle stickers with their graphic design and bold colors.  I loved the shapes within a circle and made this card to start.

After having made this card with its simple grid, I couldn't get grids out of my head.  I decided to build on that idea and created a grid-style layout with lots of simple layers.

I cut the numbers and icons using my Silhouette Cameo.  The icons are adhered using foam adhesive to add dimension to an otherwise flat page.

And for the numbers, I decided to use the negative image of the number and then back that image with papers from the Sn@p! Life Basics 6x6 paper pad.

 

And my goodness, can I tell you how much I love the Simple Basics that coordinate with Sn@p! Life?

I used the 6x6 paper pad here, but I love the 12x12 papers equally well, and I am certain I will need many sheets of all of the patterns. 

Finally, since I was just having so much fun, and because I happen to love the yellow polka dot that is a part of Sn@p! Color Vibe, I made this card.

 

The sentiment on the card above was stamped onto one of the label stickers:

I probably don't have to say this, but I love these too!  I wanted to mention something about the stickers before I go, and that is, they are a matte finish and are perfect for stamping!  It also makes them perfect for Project Life or for layouts since you can easily add some journaling, a short note, or date without worrying about it smudging.

I've mentioned a few of my favorite products throughout this post.  Now that you've had a chance to see the design team use the many bits and pieces of the new Sn@p! collections, what you are your favorite products?  Is there something you just can't wait to get your creative hands on?

Thanks for stopping by; have a fabulous weekend!!

I have a 10 years old daughter who loves to collect stickers and cards. When I let her saw your creation, she right away says, "Please buy me that one, mom. It's really cool." And yes, I agree with her. The colors, layouts, and all are simply awesome. We want to purchase your collection, Donna.

Let me ask you, all of one does hate wearing hats or caps. Away readily available regions, the cowboy hat is simply given a pass and it is normally not thought to be an elegant choice over and above a texas hold em room or country music bar. Though clothing sells well generally speaking on Etsy, girls' clothing sells the best. Trilby hats employ a narrower brim when compared with fedoras, and contains that distinguishable dent on top in the hats crown. Common sense notifys you that one places are outside of bounds for animal hats and other casual attire.
