Get Inky Design Team Challenge- Glitter Challenge

It is another fun filled challenge over at the Get Inky Challenge Blog. This time we were to use glitter. You know that glitter is not one of my favorite things to work with so I decided to keep it contained. Here is my card:

I can never seem to have enough birthday day cards and this was so easy to make. I used the Buzzing Bees stamp set. You can find it here at Blue Moon Creations. I colored this little fellow with my Stampin' Up markers and my gold metallic gel pen. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Birthday paper and some flower dimensional stickers that I had in my stash. I used my Stampin Up fine glitter for the inside. This was such a fun shaker card to make and the stamp set gives you so many sentiment choices and sizes of bees. I think this is my favorite set so far. I know you will love it too so make sure you hop on over and get one for yourself. Until next time....

I'm a Guest Designer Today over at Get Inky Stamps!!

Good day all! This is Susan and I get to be Guest Designer today here at Get Inky! Stamps. I have to say that I love die cuts and it definitely assisted me in this challenge. 

For this card, I used the Top Note die with my Cuttlebug after gluing down 1 inch squares on a scrap piece of paper. I love the scrappy quilt look of this . The stamp set that I used is the Sew Sweet Cupcakes set that you can find over at Blue Moon Creations. I hope that this gives you inspiration to come and join our challenge at the Get Inky Challenge Blog for our Show Us Some Die Cuts Challenge. Hurry on over as it closes out tomorrow. Until next time....

Die Cuts are IN!!!

Good evening all :)

I had to wait to share this card as it was made for my very special Mom. You know how much I love my Silhouette Cameo and it helped me make my Mom happy for Mother's Day. I found this card template at the Silhouette store and then decided to us Get Inky Stamps Buzzing Bees stamp set. This is  one of my faves right now. Here is the card that I made:

I just love that I have bees in different sizes and that you can mix n match the phrases. I stickled the flower centers and added my signature bling. I used scraps to make this entire card! Mom was so happy with her card and I am blessed to have her to share it with. 

Get Inky! Challenge blog is having a "Show Us Some Die Cuts" challenge going on now. Why not come over and show us your die cut card? We'd love to have you. Until next time....

Get Inky Sketch Challenge

Oh Happy Day! It is our first Sketch Challenge for the Get Inky Challenge Blog. I so enjoy sketch challenges and this one stretched my imagination. Since Easter was just around the corner (and hubby usually gets a handmade card), I made that the theme of this sketch:

I fired up my Cameo Silhouette and got started. Here is the card that I made with the sketch:

Do you recognize the "LOVE" stamp under Happy Easter? Well that is from Blue Moon Creations Joyful Jar Drinks. There are 25 stamps included in this set and I used it in my scrapbook page shown HERE. I also have another idea for this stamp set that I will share at a later time. 

Since I liked this sketch so much I made another card:

For this one I cut the frame with my Silhouette Cameo. The little bunny was a digi stamp we received for Easter and I turned him into a Print and Cut with that feature on Cameo. I sponged the frame. The two borders were cut with my Creative Memories Border Maker System and the Frame Chain Cartridge. The bling is from Close to My Heart.

Now come and play along with us. Challenges will take place every other week. This challenge will start April 1st and run to the 14th. Unless you are on our Design Team, you don't need to use Blue Moon Creation Stamps or Digis to play along, but we love it when you do! Normally, the DT will pick a top three, and a random winner will be picked for a free digi stamp by Blue Moon Creation. BUT for this first challenge, everyone who enters will get a digi stamp.You may enter up to three creations, because we love to see your creativity shine! We do ask that you link back to our challenge in your blog post, and that your post is not backdated on your blog. So come on over and play along with us at the Get Inky Challenge Blog.

Get Inky Stamps Design Team

Happy Day all.... I am so happy to be a part of a brand new Design Team for Get Inky Stamps. We were asked to make project and I decided to start using my stamp set right away! I decided to make two projects to show you the versatility of these stamps. First up was a card that I made for my eldest son's birthday. 

For the card I used the following:

Stamps: Get Inky Joyful Jar Drinks stamp set

Embossing folder: Sizzix Herringbone

Paper: Vellum, Scrap cardstock

Card Base: Recollections 5 x 5 textured card

Tools: Cameo Silhouette to cut the hearts

Ink: Ranger Ink Black

Now I not only make cards but I also scrapbook as well. I decided to get out some of my new Creative Memories paper and tools and got busy.

Stamps: Get Inky Joyful Jar Drinks stamp set

Paper: Transparency, Creative Memories Cloud  12 x 12 cardstock, Creative Memories Candy Shop 12 x 12 Pack

Tools: Creative Memories Custom Cutting System, Border Maker System with the Hexagon border maker cartridge

Ink: Momento Ink Black

All the sentiments, the jar, and bow are a part of the Get Inky Joyful Jar Drinks stamp set. It is a great set with over 25 stamps. I journaled on the back of the tag. Isn't our grandson a "sweet-tea"? I definitely plan on getting more stamp sets HERE. For any Creative Memories products, you can visit my website HERE. We have two new Catalogs; the March-April Mini Catalog and the Spring/Summer full catalog. Just to let you know that the items in the mini catalog are often limited edition and when they are gone they are GONE. Stay tuned for more projects to come for the Get Inky Stamps Design Team and a brand new tool. Until next time....
