Paint Chip Inspiration #16: Starburst Card

I wanted to challenge myself with this paint chip card so I made a "Starburst" card.  Instead of using designer paper, I decided to use paint chips.

Paint Chip Inspiration #14: Men's Blue Tie

I thought it was only appropriate to make a Father's Day card with a tie on the front.  So why not make one using paint chips.

Paint Chip Inspiration #11: Flowering Flourishes

For today's paint chip inspiration,  I simply stamped Flowering Flourishes on this paint chip and accented with butterflies. 

TIP:  I used Stazon ink since the paint chips have a slight sheen and didn't want to smudge the black ink.

Paint Chip Inspiration #8: Easter Bunny

I made this card a few years ago, but it's so cute that I had to share it as part of my Paint Chip Inspiration series.  The eggs were punched out from paint chip strips using the Stampin' Up! Small Oval Punch.  The bunny is also made with all different sized punches.

Paint Chip Inspiration #6: Easter Egg Wreath

Today's Paint Chip Inspiration card was made using the Stampin' Up! Mini Oval Punch and paint chips from Home Depot.  I simply punched out the ovals from the paint chip strips and organized them in a circle for a mini Easter Egg wreath card.

Paint Chip Inspiration #5: Butterflies Thinlits Die

My friend Lilly and I got together to play around with paint chips and the new Stampin' Up! Thinlits Die...  love the results!!! 

Paint Chip Inspiration #4: Blue Butterfly

Today's Paint Chip inspiration is a simple birthday card using a light blue paint chip from Home Depot.  This card could work with any paint chip color combination.   I added Night of Navy border trim and stamped the butterfly in Night of Navy.  I used Black Stazon ink for the greeting so it wouldn't smear on the paint chip since it has a slight sheen.  Love the crisp, clean lines and the simplicity of this card.

Paint Chip Inspiration #3: Valentine's Day Card

I made this Valentine's Day card a few years ago for one of my classes.  I used a paint chip and a Stampin' Up! heart Punch.  This is a quick and simple project.

Paint Chip Inspiration 2: Easter Banner

I started a new series on my blog called Paint Chip Inspiration, this is project #2.  I made this cute Easter Banner to hang as decoration in my craft room using paint chips and Stampin' Up! Oval Framelits.  I was surprised how east it was to match up Stampin' Up! card stock colors with the paint chip colors.

Paint Chip Inspiration #1: Birthday Cake

This year I'm starting a new series on my blog called "Paint Chip Inspiration".  It's amazing how many things you can make using paint chips.  Look for more project ideas coming soon.

This card was made using a BEHR paint chip from Home Depot #150E:  Delicate Blush, Kashmir Pink and Calico Rose.  More details and instructions below.

First I created a template for the birthday cake using scrap paper.

 

The paint chip was a little too big to leave as is, so I cut off the bottom color strip and trimmed it and then rounded the corners.

 

Then it was time to decorate and layout the card.  I wanted to add some textures so I layered the cake on white card stock and used Filigree Frame Textured Impressions embossing folder from the Holiday Catalog. Then I punched out white flowers using the Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack and the leaves are punched using the Bird Builder punch. 

 

Last step was layering on Blushing Bride card stock...
