Pinterest Inspiration is "Pinspiration"

Hello again, and thank you so much for stopping by.  I'm posting a cute little card I made this morning using some of much-loved, safely hoarded, obsessed-over, delightful Emma's Shoppe line by Crate Paper.  This line has always been one that I cherished, but now that it's nearly impossible to replace any of it, it has become even more precious.  I had "Pinned" this card quite some time ago, always wanted to re-create it, and finally this morning......I did!

Dawn McVey is the original designer of this card's concept.  I found her card on Pinterest, and I "scraplifted" pretty much everything, and there are only a few minor differences in our cards.  First, mine is crooked (as my cards usually are because I don't ever measure anything); Second, I added a width of Ivory Seam Binding just above the border, and the last difference is the sentiment stamp I used (and ink color for stamping it).  Dawn used a stamp I can't identify, and stamped it in teal ink.   I used a retired sentiment stamp from Paper Sweeties, and I used Black Soot Distress Ink to stamp mine.  Very minor differences, indeed.  When a design is this adorable, why change it up?   Thank you for the inspiration on this one, Dawn McVey, if you ever see this (YOU ROCK).  I absolutely LOVE Pinterest for this very reason.

I used an ivory cardstock base, added a piece of patterned paper, and then added all the border embellishments which include a piece of Ivory Seam Binding, and stickers, border stickers, and pieces of chipboard from the lovely Emma's Shoppe collection complete this sweet little card.  As I mentioned, I stamped a retired Paper Sweeties sentiment (Love You) on my journalling sticker.  It's a very simple, but super sweet card.  I'm not sure just who I'm sending this one to quite yet.

Thanks for stopping by!
