Terrific Tuesday's Tips and Tricks - The Kiss Method

Welcome Get Inky! fans! It's La-Vie and I'm here to share a stamping tip called the kiss method. Have you ever seen stamp companies sell solid plain rubber stamp shapes and wondered why? Have you gotten a stamp set where you needed to assemble the stamps by removing a solid piece that is supposed to be the throw away item? WAIT! Don't throw that away!! It's a crucial part of your stamp collection. Here's why...

Solid stamps can be used for many things, like coloring in a more detailed stamp in a 2 step process, or creating basic patterns like a scallop with a plain circle. They also can be used to create mirrored images and textured or patterned images using the kiss method.

To achieve this look, I used a hat stamp from the 2013 Holiday set available on Etsy. On the bottom, I stamped it out regular. To turn the hat the other way, I inked the stamp and quickly stamped it on the blank circle. In turn I stamped the circle on the cardstock and voila! the hat is facing the other way. There is an adorable snowman in the set and you could make a lovely pair in this fashion.

My next example involves using a patterned stamp on the blank circle. I inked the circle in pink ink and the random dots in white ink. When I kissed the dots to the circle, it created a textured effect. You can use any background stamps you have to create unique looks with striped polka dots...the sky is the limit. Create your own flair and embellishments to match any project.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed today's tip. For more great ideas, visit my blog.

Don't Worry, Bee Happy!

Happy Sunday! Ashley here today to share with you a quick card I made using the "Buzzing Bees" stamp set as inspiration for our current "Birds and Bees" challenge:

Both the sentiment and the bee are from the stamp set. I added some twine for the bee's "trail" and cut hexagons out of honeycomb paper, then inked those edges with Scattered Straw Distress Ink by Tim Holtz. Even though the card is super clean and simple, I really like it!

Hope to see you playing along in our current challenge!

Let me tell you about the birds and the bees...

Hi, it's Ann from the Design Team with my quick to make but fun Birthday card for our 13th challenge.  We are all inspired by Jewel's song The Birds and the Bees and we have all been busily creating some inspiration for all of you.  I tell you that honey in the picture is being used at my house right now it is so so good for my very sore throat.  Hey, if you pop over to my blog later you can read about the list of products I used to make this card.

Thanks for stopping by and now go get Buzzing and Get Inky!.  :)

Song Challenge 13 Inspiration: Jewel Akens The Birds and the Bees

It's my day to post inspiration to get those creative juices flowing for the latest challenge at the Get Inky! Challenge blog! The challenge is to create a craft based on the classic Jewel Akens song (Let me tell you 'bout) The Birds and the Bees.

I enjoyed creating this love scene to match the elements of the song using Get Inky! Stamps.  The bees and the heart are from the Buzzing Bees stamp set. The flower, and the word "love" are from the Love Bugs stamp set. Both are available on Etsy.

For more information, please visit my blog. I hope you create a masterpiece to enter into Challenge 13!

Gliter, A Tag, & A Cupcake.....It's a Party!

Happy Friday the 13th!

 

Challenge #12..Cakes, Cakes, and Cupcakes...is going on over at the challenge blog.

 

 

Here's my take on this challenge.................. 

 

 

 

I started out with a plain manila tag and inked it to coordinate with the paper I chose for my cupcake wrapper.

 

I stamped the background with the large heart and 'wishes' from the Sew Sweet Stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I also misted the background with Perfect Pearls Mist spray.  Because I inked the tag with distress ink, the liquid mist reacted with them...I halted the reaction with my heat tool.  :-)

 

The cupcake (also from the stamp set) was stamped on both patterned and plain paper.  I cut the frosting out of the plain paper image, adhered some Seedless Preserves Distress Glitter, and attached it on top of the patterned paper image. 

 

 

 

A bit of Timeless Twine, and the tag was finished.  

 

Happy Crafting!!

It's all About the Cupcakes ~ Sue B

Greetings all:

I have to tell you that I LOVE cupcakes. All shapes, sizes and flavors. To me they are just the right size for a little sweetness. So when I learned about the cake challenge from Get Inky! Stamps, I knew I had to come up with something special. Well it had to be extra special as this was a card for someone special. I used the Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set and took out some paper I bought "just because". I stamped the image twice so I could layer and make it seem like frosting. Here is my card closed:

And now open:

Of course my Cameo Silhouette came in handy. The brad holding the card open is from Kathy Davis Studios Happiness set. I am looking forward to another day at KD Studios soon. I hope that you will come and join us over for the most recent challenge (Cakes, Cakes and Cupcakes). I cannot wait to see all the wonderful entries. Until next time....
