Holiday Cards, Day 5

Hidey ho all!

Today I had to dig deep to make this card that was inspired by a Hero Arts posting that I saw this week. I wanted to make a Hannukah card to share but did not order the Hannukah Celebration stamp set. Here is the card I made:

One of the items that I used that is current is the Green and Blue Epoxy Bubbles. The paper I used is retired but the Twilight 12" x 12" cardstock would work well. The stamp set is the Hodge Podge Alphabet but the Glamour Lowercase would be wonderful too. The vellum was from my scrap pile and I used my Corner rounder. 

I am so glad that you are joining me this week for these projects. Tomorrow I will be moving on to some Cricut Collection projects. I am biding my time to the new catalog because there is so much that is new that I can't wait to work with. Remember that the current Promotion, Holidays from the Heart is currently going on. Choose one “star” item from the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide FREE for every $100 of retail-priced products in your order from the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide and/or the Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book.

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....
