SSINKspiration Product Focus: Buttons

 

Today on Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, we are featuring projects with BUTTONS!  Stampin' UP offers many varieties of buttons as you can see below.  You can purchase all of these in my online store.

 

 

For my card, I combined one of my favorite stamp sets (Gorgeous Grunge) with the Holly Jolly Greetings Bundle.  The colors coordinate with the Home for Christmas buttons:  Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, and Real Red.

SSINKspiration Stamp Set Focus: For All Things

 Today on Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, we are featuring cards made with the For All Things stamp set.  This set is the perfect set for all of your Fall and Thanksgiving craft projects.

 For my card, I began by stamping the background leaves in Sahara Sand ink, stamping off first to create an even lighter shade.  Then I stamped the greeting multiple times in Mossy Meadow, Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Tip Top Taupe.  For the glitter splatter, I made a mixture of Tombow multi-adhesive and a few drops of water.  I dipped the tip of an aquapainter in the mixture and splattered it on the cardstock before sprinkling it with glitter.  The final touch is an In Color Blossom Accent (which are on special this week) and some Gold Metallic Thread.

SSINKspiration Product Focus: Embossing Folders

 

I have been working non-stop on the cards for my upcoming Christmas Card Celebration on November 7th.  Unfortunately that has meant that I've severely neglected my Design Team responsibilities.  So on Monday, I took time to create exclusively for Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and in a happy twist, I created a card that we will be making at my class.

 

 

 For this card, I used the Stylish Stripes embossing folder.  I put the Whisper White card stock through the Big Shot twice with the embossing folder.  The result is a great dimensional background.

Technique Tuesday - Watercolor Background w/ Clear Blocks

Today, on Stylin' Stampin' INKSpiration we are featuring a fun background technique.  You can see the tutorial and more samples HERE.

I created my background by scribbling on a large clear block with Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Rich Razzleberry markers.  Before stamping onto the paper, I spritzed the block lightly with water. 

The witch and sentiment are from the Haunt Ya Later stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Witch Way

 

I'm back again today with another fun card using the Haunt Ya Later stamp set.  I kept it simple by using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I stamped each of the images (except the cat) directly onto the Whisper White card layer.  Then I stamped the same images onto various Designer Series Paper and card stock to create a pieced & colorful image.

The result is a simple, yet fun Halloween card.  I've still got one more project this week that features this stamp set, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Haunt Ya Later stamp set is so adorable.  I've been using it on a lot of my Halloween projects and you'll be seeing it again this week on the blog.

I have been hoarding those little anti-bacterial hand sanitizers for a few years and THIS YEAR, I'll be making these up as thank you gifts for orders placed this month.

Here is a link to the tutorial I use for making these.
