Miss Ink Stamps / Punny Farm Pigs

Happig Birthday2

Hello!  Amy here today with a CAS card featuring the new Punny Farm Pigs.  Creating a scene does not have to be busy or hard......Just some simple ink blending will do just fine.

Using some Broken China Distress Ink, I taped off the bottom portion of the card and ink blended with a blender brush.  I went over this several times to get the depth of blue I wanted.  The adorable piggie image was stamped in black ink, Copic colored, and hand trimmed out.  My images were all done this way and then added to my notecard using foam adhesive.  A few white gems were added for shine!
Happig Birthday

Have a great day!!

Lil' Inker Designs / June Release Day 3 / Giveaway

Amy_Time for Tea2 

Welcome to Day 3 of the Lil' Inker Designs June Release!  
This release is FULL of amazing dies and stamps for celebrating......are you ready?  Guess what??  The whole new release is now available and can be found HERE!!!



For all you tea drinkers out there, Lil' Inker Designs has released a new set just for you!  Time for Tea has a ton of design possibilities.  I was inspired by some Corelle dishes that we used to use when I was a kid.  (see photo below)  

I designed my cup with the vine stamp in navy ink.  I added some distress ink to the inside of the cup as well as the teabag label.  Although hard to see, I also added some of the brown distressing behind the tea cup.  I carried the vine design to the top and bottom of a white panel and layered it with matching navy cardstock.

Welcome to Day 2 of the Lil' Inker Designs June Release!  
This release is FULL of amazing dies and stamps for celebrating......are you ready?  Guess what??  The whole new release is now available and can be found HERE!!!




I love using Cover Plates to add interest to an otherwise white background.  Well, Lil' Inker Designs has a new one called Quilted Stitched Stepping Stones Die.  

This card started out ENTIRELY different and I actually tore it all apart and created this one!  I just couldn't leave it the way it was!  I love this version 100 x better!  This one uses simple side cut strips for the sentiments and the adorable Ele and Lion with some balloons (from Cake Party) all popped up with foam adhesive.

Hello Bluebird / More Jungle Littles

Jungle Littles2 

Hello, welcome to Day 4 of the Hello Bluebird June release!  
The release includes 6 new stamp sets and coordinating dies along with 4 stand alone dies.  The entire new release will be available at 7pm MST tonight June 26th!


These More Jungle Littles are adorable when paired with the previously released Tropical Foliage Dies.

I ink blended a panel of cardstock using Wild Honey, Ripe Persimmon, and Fired Brick Distress Inks.  Using a standard circle die, a circle was cut from this ink blended panel.  The new Wild About You Die was cut out of black cardstock and layered over the ink blended circle.  A few foliage leaves were die cut from colors of green cardstock and tucked into the corners of the sentiment.  The rhino and toucan were Copic colored, die cut using coordinating dies, and added with foam adhesive.

I created a fun little scene using the new Gallery Frame #4 and some ink blending.  The notecard was masked off using painters tape.  The floral cascades were positioned in either corner with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was stamped in the upper right box.....the perfect space for a sentiment!  My mouse was Copic colored, hand trimmed, and added with foam adhesive.

Hello Bluebird / Seaside Girls

Seaside Girls2 

Hello, welcome to Day 2 of the Hello Bluebird June release!  The release includes 6 new stamp sets and coordinating dies along with 4 stand alone dies.  

Seaside Girls has a bit of nostalgia doesn't it?  For me, it's remembering my daughter on the beach the first time.  Priceless.

There is a new scene die this month with a beach/water theme.  I die cut the scene out of white cardstock and ink blended the beach with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and the waves out of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink but also adding in some of the details from the stamp set.  Clouds were blended in with a cloud stencil.  Finally my Copic colored images were added with foam adhesive to finish my beachy scene!

Hello Bluebird / Strawberry Jam

Strawberry Jam

Hello and welcome to the much anticipated Hello Bluebird June release!  I have a lot to share over the next few days for these preview days.  So many cute new sets!


Strawberry Jam is just an adorable new set releasing this coming week.  I added a bit of Spun Sugar Distress Ink for the light background and framed my scene with a new die announced later this week.  All my images were Copic colored and using the coordinating dies, were all die cut.  A few clear droplets were added as a final touch.

Ellen Hutson & Hero Arts Blog Hop

Hello2 

Hello and Welcome to a special hop with Hero Arts and Ellen Hutson!  
You will see so many fresh ideas using Hero Arts stamps.  Remember though, you can shop at either Hero Arts or Ellen Hutson to get your Hero Arts goodies!



*****************************************

I love color layering stamps and Hero Arts has so many fabulous ones.  I used the Color Layering For You Flowers Bundle which includes the ink, dies, and stamps.  I also used some other Hero Arts inks for the other colors of blooms.

Once all the blooms were stamped and die cut, they were layered onto a trimmed rounded panel that was ink blended with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink in just two corners.  I love how this gives some shading but also leaves white space!  For the sentiment, I used the Hello Stamp & Cut bundle.  Hero Arts has many of these small sentiment sets that should be staples in your crafting!  To give that finishing touch, a few small droplets were added.
