Judy's Inspiration for the Valentine/Love Challenge




Judy here with my card for the Valentine/Love challenge at Get Inky! Challenges this week.  I have created this cupcake card for the challenge using stamps from the Sew Sweet Cupcake stamp set. The stamps for this card can be found here. 

What a fun card to make. I used a very old technique using shaving cream to represent the icing on the cupcake and to colour the hearts.  I added red ink to the shaving cream cream and stirred up the mixture until it looked like fluffy pink and white icing.  For the bottom of the cake I made the mixture much lighter and added it to some card stock that was cream in color and some what glossy. I stamped my images and sentiment with black Stazon ink.

To complete my card I embossed the background with a Sizzix heart embossing folder, added a white glittered ribbon, a butterfly and some bling. Now my card is ready for my sweetie. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join in the challenge.  Just create your Valentine/Love card and enter it here.

Stamping On, and Using Felt!

Good Morning! Jamie here from Capture-Your-Memories, and today I wanted to share with you my project that contains me stamping on and using felt. You can see, and join this challenge over at Get Inky! Challenge Blogspot.



These challenges are weekly so you don't have much time - I do hope I will see your creation!

Anyway the challenge is to use some felt...
I used a dark piece of blue felt, white card-stock, 3 felt flowers from Recollections, I also used green ribbons, and a blue polka dot brad! The bow was the fun part though, I used Archival ink from Ranger, and stamped the bow on the dark blue felt. I then cut it out, and adhered the green bow on top! The bow is from the Joyful Jar Drinks Stamp Set that can be found here.

Hugs!

Made with 100% Love

Hi, all my crafty friends and family!!!

Kathy, here from Up In The Night With Kat to give you a little inspiration for the "Stamp on Felt" challenge that is going on over at Blue Moon Creation Challenge.  I played around with this quite awhile trying to make sure I could do it correctly . . . Thank goodness for YouTube. :)  I ended up using a swirl stamp from Get Inky's "Love Bugs" stamp collection, Lagoon ink by Close To My Heart and embossed it with Turquoise embossing powder onto a flower which I used on the following layout:


Here's a close-up of the flower:

I used Cosmo Cricket's "Early Bird" paper collection along with some of my Kiwi Lane templates that I have had for . . . well, over 4 years or so.  What can I say? . . . . I'm trying to use us some of my stash and use some of my older tools.  I also used some flair from UmWowStudio, mini clothespins from Close To My Heart and some misc gems on this layout.

Pretty cute, don't you think?  That's one think I LOVE about Get Inky! Stamps is that they are so cute and versatile.  One piece of advice on embossing on felt . . . use a slow, low heat. :) Also, before you use your embossing gun, flick the BACK of your felt to remove any extra embossing powder.  If you don't, you will have flicks of embossing powder  because felt likes to capture it.

Now let's Get Inky!!!!

Till next time I'm up in the night.  Kathy
