Itty Bitty Inspiration

Hi there, it's Susan R!

I love making teeny-tiny cards, so this itty bitty challenge is just fine!

The owl digi came from the  Inky Moonbeams Club...

more details of my 'recipe' can be found on my blog!

Hope you will join us here!

Happy Crafting!

ITTY BITTY CARD CHALLENGE:

TGIF!   Hope you guys have had a great week!   The challenge at Get Inky is ITTY BITTY CARD... no bigger than 3 inches....  These are note cards that I found from Studio G in the walmart dollar section.  I punched a hole and added some ribbon.  The stamp is of course Get Inky!  I also used Clear crackle on top of the stamp.  I kind of like the effect, makes it look unique I think.  :)   Hope you can join us for this challenge!   I would love to have you stop by my blog and say "Hi!"

A Lil' Washi Tape on a Lil' Card

Hello fellow stamping lovers!  It is me, Ann from the Design Team and the blog:  Annmakes (http://annmakes.blogspot.com).  For this current challenge I combined an itty bitty card design with a little bit of washi tape for a cute card with a HUGE sentiment.  It is a super simple card to make and this washi tape I have been hoarding for a long time was calling out to me to be used.

                           


 To make the card I used:

the stamps " Love Bugs" from Blue Moon Creations (retired set)
Sakura gel pens in Yellow and Green
Prima Marketing Washi tape
Staples card stock

I hope this inspires you to make some of your own projects.  Thanks for looking!

Wind Beneath My Wings - Stamping with Washi Tape

Hi, all our Get Inky! friends and family!!!

Kathy here to bring you some "challenge inspiration" for the current challenge over at Get Inky! Challenge (aka Blue Moon Creation Crafting Station Challenge or BMCCS).  The current challenge is "Stamping with Washi Tape". I just LOVE washi tape . . . there are so many options you can use it with - cards, scrapbook pages, decorating presents, etc. I even used it weekend on my "picture board" for my daughter's graduation open house/party. 

After receiving some new washi tape this past week ("Urban Market" by Teresa Collins), I knew had to use it for this project . . . especially since I wanted to make a graduation card and my daughter's graduation class colors were blue, silver/gray and white.  And I used the sentiment "You are the wind beneath my wings" from the Love Bug stamp set by Get Inky!  Here's how it turned out:

Supplies

"Love Bug" stamp set by Get Inky!

layered butterfly chipboard from UmWowStudio

Cryogen White paper from Paper Temptress

"Urban Market" washi tape by Teresa Collins

corrugated kraft paper from Fancy Pants

enamel dots from the "Urban Market" collection by Teresa Collins

Layering stencil (Speckles - THS021) by Tim Holtz

Archival Inky by Ranger  (Cobalt and Watering Can)

Momento ink in Tuxedo Black

miscellaneous mini paper clip

Since I didn't want to make my card bigger so I could see more of the texture of the corrugated paper, I offset the the Cryogen White paper so I would only see about 1/8" on one side and 1/2" on the other of the corrugated paper from Fancy Pants.  I kept my butterfly chip "naked" to help pull everything together. A few "speckles" of ink here and there and  . . . Voila! I was done. :)

I hope I was able to inspire you today with my "stamping with washi tape" project.  Remember, you have till Wednesday to get your projects in . . . I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

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

LET'S GET INKY!!!!

I Washi, You Washi, We all Washi ~ Sue B

Happy day all!

Sue B here with some Challenge Inspiration for the current one going on at the BMCCS Challenge blog. The current theme is Stamping With Washi and I love working with the stuff. Unfortunately my order did not come in time so I am sad. I improvised though and love this card:

* Close to My Heart Dotty for You B&T Duos Paper (retired), 12 x 12 Black Cardstock, Durable Triangle Studs and Lagoon Exclusive Inks! Stamp Pad

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will join the Stamping With Washi Challenge. Until next time....

Whatcha Workin' On Wednesday: Ink Refresher

Hi, so what happens when you are a multi tasking mom with a longer to do list than will actually fill any ready made To Do list?  Well, if you are like me you may walk away from your stamping project and FORGET to close your ink pad for THREE days!   Arrrrggggghhhh!

So after I was done with my Pirate imitation.... I tried to rescue my ink pad with my homemade version of Refresher.  My pad had plenty of ink as I had reinked it  just a few days prior to my forgetfulness, it was just DRY.

It came to my mind that my experience would make for a good little post for today.

Here is a picture of my project with a dried up ink pad and besides that is my project with a refreshed ink pad.

The recipe I used for the Ink Refresher spray is:

In a 4 oz spray bottle
fill with distilled water 3/4 of the way
add 1/2 tsp. glycerin

That's it!  Shake, spritz and voila the ink pad is good as new!


I hope that you find my little disaster to be a good lesson for you!

Have fun, go Get Inky!  And, remember to close your ink pads.

Ann DT. :)
