Ink Something

Hiya friends, It's coming up on Father's Day this weekend, so I made my husband a fun interactive card, combining a SPiNNiNG WHeeL and a SLiDeR into one! He's always giving me pointers on my interactive cards - sometimes really WACKY ones that I can't fathom, but this is what I came up with using my own " Humphrey's Rowboat " digi stamp set and sentiments from same set + the " Fishing Bear" set. The sky didn't quite come out as I had imagined.... but it works :)   Here's a short clip of it in action.... ♥ ♥ ♥ Stamps: (Imagine That Digistamp) -  Humphrey's Rowboat ,  Fishing Bear   Stencils:  (MFT) - Cloud Stencil ; Sun rays (Paper Pumpkin - retired March 2021 kit)  Dies & Punches: (SU!) - Give it a Whirl dies ; (MFT) - Stitched Cloud Edges Die-namics ...

 Hello friends - What's the Buzz?  Today's card features my own " Goin' Buggy " digital stamp set and this week's Sketch Challenge #546 at My Favorite Things blog. Here's the sketch How I made my card: I started with a 5 1/2" square piece of white cardstock.  Then I used the slimline grassy hills dies (cut from white scrap carstock) to use as a stencil for the bottom 1/3 of card.  Then I used the Cloud stencils for the top 2/3 of card.  Then I cut the circles out, starting with the center top circle and measuring to find the center of the card horizontally towards top and bottom of card.  Then I cut the side sections out.   Next, I cut my card base out of the Coastal Cabana cardstock at 5.5" x 11" and scored it in half.  Then I placed (not glued) my top piece with the holes cut out of it on top of card and adhered with some very low tac tape (post-it note tape!).  Then I taped my circles back into the empty spots lining up so they match th

 Happy Sunday friends!   I made another card using the   Wednesday Sketch Challenge  at My Favorite Things  - it's such an easy sketch to follow.  I added Wink of Stella for a bit of shine on the ribbon and polka-dots, and doggie's kerchief and pom-pom. Once I was almost done, I really wanted to add the cute li'l banner at the top but it didn't fit the sketch, so I used it to prop the front of card up when it's opened (creating an easel card), by cutting 4 of the banners and gluing them on top of each other for dimension.  Is that cheating on the sketch?  I don't think so as it's technically on the inside :)   Here is the sketch - I turned it counter-clockwise 90 degrees  ♥ ♥ ♥ Stamps & Stencils:   (MFT) -   Pawty Time Stamps Dies & Punches:   (MFT) -  Pawty Time dies ;  (SU!) - Stitched Shapes dies,  Banners Pick a Punch Paper:  (SU!)  - Basic White, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana cardstock; (patterned cardstock from my stash) I

Hello friends!  I'm having so much fun creating scene cards lately!  This one uses this week's  Color Challenge at My Favorite Things... I'm also entering this in  Simon Says Stamp's   Wednesday Challenge: Create a Scene! I paired the Unicorns and Glitter stamp set (MFT) with the Welcoming Window stamp and dies (SU!).  The brick stamp is great for cards for my oldest daughter since she just moved into her first apartment (which is brick!) 🥰  ♥ ♥ ♥ Stamps & Stencils:  (MFT) -  Unicorns & Glitter ; Itty Bitty Basics ; (SU!) - Welcoming Window Dies & Punches:  (SU!) - Welcoming Window dies,  Rectangle Stitched dies Paper:  (SU!) - Basic White, Kraft, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana cardstock Ink & Extras:  (SU!) - Granny Apple Green,, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake classic ink; Tuxedo Black Memento ink; Blending Brushes; Stampin' Dimensionals, (Scotch) AGT tape, 3M double-sided foam tape; (Copic & Artist's Loft) alcohol markers Thanks for visit

 Hey friends!  Today's card uses the new Wednesday Sketch Challenge at My Favorite Things  and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge: Create a Scene! I really like this sketch - so many things you can do with this one!  And be sure to go check out the MFT Design Team's card samples for this sketch for more inspiration! Here is the sketch - I turned it clockwise 90 degrees How I made my card: I started with a white piece of cardstock and stamped the li'l shooting stars randomly, then I filled in the stars with some masking fluid and once that dried, I then sponged my clouds over the whole layer.  Then I rubbed the masking fluid off the stars and colored them with Y11 (Canary) alcohol marker.   Next, I cut out my rainbow in the various colors and glued them down to the rainbow maker base and glued flat onto my cloud layer.  I added dimensionals to the back of the clouds.  I then stamped my sentiment on black with VersaMark ink and embossed with white e.p.  I then punche

 Hello crafty peeps!  I found a new (to me) challenge called The Spot and this week's challenge is to use stencils as main image, so I had fun creating this scene with the sun rays stencil in my stash!  There's so many ways I could have made this into an interactive card, but I've made quite a few of those recently, so today I just wanted to keep it simple and see where my mojo took me.  Of course, Pinterest provides some great inspiration for card designs, and I had saved some ideas using the sun rays stencils and beach waves when I remembered I had drawn this Beach Floaty Girl back in 2015 and thought how fun it would be to pair it with my Under the Sea (fish & dolphin) digis! The sentiment is from my Beach Blanket Girl (also from 2015).  All digis used here are still available in my shop - and ON SALE!  (see links below)  You can also see more samples on the store blog here . I used white cardstock for everything except the pink base and used blending brushes to
