Button Time!

A new digi and stamp set is in the works because of this button challenge that just started on our Get Inky! Challenge blog. It's hard for me to decide on the size of the set, I love big sets but I think folks like smaller sets. Something about the cuteness of small sets? Anyhow...

Get out your buttons and join our button challenge, you have until Wednesday the 5th to link up with us! (To get to the challenge blog, click on link at top side under links.) 

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by! Now go get your craft on!

Hoppy Spring Release!

Hey there my Moonbeams! Are you ready for some awesome news? The Get Inky! Hoppy Spring Stamp Sets have arrived! Look at this cute card I created using 2 Get Inky! Sets, a Peachy Keen Stamp, and my DCWV cardstock...

I combined two challenges together to come up with this card. The Peachy Keen Photo Inspiration Challenge, and the challenge at Hiding In My Craft Room to use x3 patterned papers. 

The inspiration I found in the PK photo was the patterns and colors of the tapes. Lots of lines and dots. I used the flower from this months kit as the center of my flower.

The inspiration from the challenge at Hiding in my craft room was the idea of 3 patterned papers and their mention of their sponsor, DCWV.

The face, sentiment, and stitching are all stamps designed by me for the Get Inky! Stamp line (which is now manufactured by a stamp company with AWESOME quality!). They are a peach tinted photopolymer...need I say more? Truly the best quality stamp (in my opinion).

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Smiling Flowers!

As I was trying to get my almost 3 year old daughter ready for bed, she decided she needed to work on a card with me. It had to be a flower with lady bugs. Oh, perfect, I have just the thing in my peachy keen cottage cuts die cut stash! And, my new Get Inky! stamp set with stitched circles works with it perfectly! And since the new PK Stamps of the month arrived, I used some sentiments from it to create this card (with my daughters help, of course)! Oh and we used the PK Challenge Sketch too.

I colored the flower with my Copic Markers, and the ladybugs with my Glaze pens. Added a fabric flower for dimension along with double sided foam adhesive. It came together nicely...I think. Seemed easy too. And I love how the stitching really adds to it. 

If you are interested in getting your own set of stitched circles, the name of the set is BMC-0009 Circle of Love and it will soon be listed in our shop. I am so excited about these stamps because my dream for my manufacturer came true...my stamps have that peachy tint to them! Can you believe it?!? Have I mentioned I love Peachy Keen Stamps? They really are the best stamps out there! And now I can get my stamp designs made with that quality us Peachy Fans love! (The hard part is switching all my existing sets over! But it is soooo worth it!)

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn's CHA Happy Trails Make and Take

Guess what I found at CHA...Lawn Fawn! I love their cute stamps, so I decided to quickly join in on one of their make and takes. Since the day was coming to an end, I quickly put mine together with the intent on finishing it at home. I finally did! Ironically, I finished it the same day I found out that their headquarters is located in my hometown...yup, I'm in trouble! Here's my finished card:

Soon my Crafting Station will carry their cute products...so if you need a Lawn Fawn fix, just contact me! Thanks for stopping by!

Penguins, Newspapers, and Copics...oh my....WHAT?!?

Hellooooo my Moonbeams! So glad to see you here! Today I am pleased to share with you a card I created due to inspiration from a number of places...Crafty Card Gallery, Get Inky Challenge, and the Copic Certification classes I took earlier this month with my crafty pal Beth. (She is incredibly funny and a blast to hang with, we had a hoot of a time at Copic and CHA.) Anyhooo....

We learned how to make this fun sparkle spray in our Copic class...using a small amount of Copic ink, some blending solution, and a bit of (I forget the name...) powder. Needless to say, we jumped at the chance to try it and it didn't work (at first). But after she left, I decided to give the small spritzer bottles a second chance and it worked! (I used glossy photo paper for a shine.) I think the trick is not too much powder and letting it dissolve some maybe?

Being a Crafty Card Gallery Design Team member inspired me to doodle up a penguin since this months theme is a penguin or a black and white card. The penguin will be a digi next month for club members (so sign up for the club if you don't want to wait another month for this cutie). I used my new Copic coloring skills to color in the penguin. Did I use black? Nope! Amazing, huh? I thought so...

And the last bit of inspiration came from the current Get Inky Challenge Blog where this weeks challenge is to use Newspaper or the Yellow Pages on your project. Fun! You should check out the Get Inky Design Teams Inspiration Creations over on the Get Inky Stamps Blog...they are amazing!
