Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop Autumn / Winter Catalog

August 29, 2020 · 22 Comments

Happy Saturday!

Time for another blog hop –

Our theme is the Mini Catalog!

I went with a Halloween-ish card –

Quite cute, huh?

I knew I wanted to use these cute pumpkins from the Everything Essential stamp set and coordinating Essential Tag Punch.

I stamped three pumpkins on Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, and Mango Melody. Then punched them out.

I used a piece of the black and white Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper to ground the pumpkins. Behind that is a Cobweb 3d embossed panel.

The sentiment is from Banner Year.

Check out the other great ideas on our hop!

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features fall cards!

Oh yippee! I get to play with my favorite set of dies again! These are the Stitched Leaves dies. I die cut them with the inside detailing, then ran them through the Old World Paper 3d embossing folder. Just look how gorgeous it makes them –

I also used my favorite sentiment. It is from the Banner Year stamp set! Y’all is very much a Texas thing!

I also added a long strip of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper on top on a piece of Tasteful Textile 3d embossed Crumb Cake.

To finish it off, I tied a copper bow from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo.

Quick. Easy. Elegant.

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great fall projects to inspire us!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Critter Cards

August 22, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards with critters!

Such cuteness you will see today!!!

Just look at this –

Oh my goodness – isn’t this little squirrel too cute?!?!?! He is from the Banner Year stamp set.

I stamped him in Cinnamon Cider on Very Vanilla, let him dry, then dotted his eye with a black sharpie. I used a 1 1/2″ Circle Punch to punch him out, backing him on a scallop circle from the Little Treat Box Dies (so so cute).

I took a piece of the Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and stamped the little acorns in Bumblebee on the lighter squares. Doing this made this paper match the card perfectly!

The acorn and sentiment are also from the Banner Year stamp set. The sentiment flagging comes from the coordinating punch in the set, Banners Pick a Punch. It is quite versatile as you can choose different widths of strips to flag the ends.

Go forward to see Debbie Henderson and her cute critter, and back to Cindy Elam and her cute critter creation. I know we will all have some great projects to make us squee with joy!

Kre8tors Blog Hop – Anniversary

August 9, 2020 · 12 Comments

Hello! Happy Sunday! Time for a blog hop!

Our theme this month, anniversary.

I wanted to use new products for this, so I went with the Banner Year stamp set and Warm Hugs Bundle –

A quirky take on an anniversary card! Lol!

I stamped the cups in Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray on Whisper White. I colored them using Blends. I used the Warm Hugs bundle for this.

The sentiment and XOXO come from the Banner Year stamp set.

I also used the Heart Punch pack to complete the card and create a focal point for the cute little cups!

Soo cute!

Joy of Sets – Christmas in July Blog Hop

July 11, 2020 · 12 Comments

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to my second blog hop for the day!

I’m shifting gears for this Christmas in July.

I just got all new Christmas stuff in. But, my favorite is this Best Plaid Builder Die to create a gorgeous Christmas plaid –

For the plaid, I used Poppy Parade as the red. The thin lines are Just Jade and Shaded Spruce. All placed on a Soft Sea Foam card base.

The bow is the new Gift Wrap bundle, Gift Wrap stamp set and Gift Bow Builder Punch. I stamped on Soft Sea Foam card stock in Soft Sea Foam ink. I used a Blends to color the bow partially and also to color the card stock strip.

The sentiment is from the Banner Year stamp set, another new one.
