What's up?

     This is my last guest designer card for Inky Impressions Rubberstamps.  A huge thank you to Nicole, Jackie, and the DT  girls for allowing me to join in their fun these past two months.
     Today starts a new challenge at Inky Impressions and the theme is "Pink, Green, and Yellow".  For my card I used some My Mind's Eye papers in those colors to created a layered effect.  I added a little stitching on each section just for fun.
     The image is Chatterbox Lili and she's colored with Copics.  I've added some ribbon and those cute little flat back pearls in yellow are from the Inky Impressions store.
     So break out some papers and embellies in these fun colors and come join in the challenge.
     Crafty wishes to you all!

Winter birthday delivery

     This is my last card for the Inky Impressions Inspirational blog.  I'll have one more post for them for next week's challenge.  Thanks so much to Nicole and the DT girls for having me as their guest!  :-)
     For this card I've used "Angelica's Sled" again.  I went a little crazy with the distressing.  LOL  The little packages are a separate stamp that comes with the image.  They're popped up on pop dots.
     There are lots of winter birthdays out there and lots of people still getting snow so I decided to make this a birthday card.  The image is colored with Copics and there's lots of Stickles snow.  I cut the little tag with a Nestabilites die and then stamped on it with Versamark and embossed in white.
     Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

Warm thoughts

     I hope you've been enjoying the guest designer cards I've been creating for Inky Impressions.  They really are great quality stamps.  This card was made as inspiration for this week's challenge which is to "use two different ribbons or trims".
     I've used some Basic Grey papers to backup "Rachel Ice Skating".  She's such a cutie!  I colored her with Copics and cut out the image with a Nestie.  I used Tumbled Glass Distress ink on the edges.  The sentiment comes with the stamp.  The mitten charm can be found in the Inky Impressions store also.
     I'm not sure if I like my corner treatment or not.  It started with a chipboard piece I covered with Distress crackle paint then morphed into the little mix on the card.
     So hop on over to the challenge blog and check out the other DT projects and play along.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Pollycraft Mondays--chill out

A woman's work

     It's my turn again to provide a card for the Inky Impressions Inspiration blog.  I've used Lili's Cleaning Day again, this time as a birthday card.  Please, please send no rotten eggs or tomatoes in my direction for my terrible sentiment rhyme.  LOL
     I've used some October Afternoon paper, colored Lili with Copics, and added a few die cuts and some twine and buttons to embellish the card.
     Here's the inside with the rest of my corny sentiment.  :-)

Special Delivery Hearts

(Please scroll down for my Papercraft Star project for this week's challenge)

     Today starts a new challenge at Inky Impressions and the theme is "I ♥ You" so we want to see some hearts used some way on your projects.
     For my card I've used Angelica's Sled from the Inky Impressions Rubberstamps Store.  I colored her with Copics and even tried a new technique.  You see the spots on her scarf?  I did that with my Colorless Blender and I love the way it looks.  I'm probably the last person on earth to try this LOL so excuse my slowness.  :-)
     That cute little heart charm hanging from the twine can be found in the Inky Store too.  I added some punched hearts with pearls and took the little hearts left over from the border punch, covered them in Stickles and added them on Angelica's sled.
     I'm sure that lots of you are making Valentines right now so you're sure to have some hearts in there somewhere.  Pop over to the Inky Challenge Blog and play along.
     I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Some more Inky Inspiration

(Second post for today so please scroll down for my Our Creative Corner Guest Designer card)

     It's inspiration day at the Inky Impressions Inspiration blog and I have a card for you using "Ice Skating Rachel".  I've colored her with Copic markers.  I cut her out and popped her up on pop dots.  The card is made with My Mind's Eye Portabello Road papers.  I was in the mood to play with embossing powder again so the edges of the large mat and two smaller ones are all edged in white embossing powder for a frosty look.  I created a little flower spray with some punched flowers, pearls, and a die cut flourish.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

     The Inky Impressions Challenge this week is "Red, White, and Pink".  The image I've used is called "Lili's Cleaning Day" and I've used it to make a new years card of a sort.  I had a list a mile long of things I was going to try to do better at this year.  LOL  Am I doing them all--nah.  :-) , but I'm trying real hard to do some of them, and no, vacuuming was not one of them.   LOL

     Lili's colored with Copics and the papers are My Mind's Eye.  I pulled out the sewing machine again and did some zig zag stitching that looks fairly decent.

     So pop over to the Inky blog for this weeks challenge details and the hop.

Goin' downhill

     This card marks my first project as a guest designer for Inky Impressions Stamps.  I'll be guesting for them for the months of January and February.  They have a challenge blog and an inspiration blog and I'll be posting cards on both.
     The company belongs to Nicole Mokshefsky and she stocks her rubberstamps, paper, and embellishments.  This image is one of a few digital ones she offers and is called "MaMaw Skiing".  Like the sledders that I posted a few days ago, this is another winter past time I have never tried.  The bodily harm index would probably go up even higher on this one.  I can just picture myself wrapped around a tree.  LOL  MaMaw, however, looks totally capable of conquering the slopes.  I just couldn't resist matching her up with a wise crack sentiment.  :-)
     Anyway, MaMaw was colored with Copics.  There's a little machine stitching and some scrunched up seam binding for enbellishments.  That little snowflake charm also comes from Inky Impressions.  Nicole has tons of different kinds of charms in the store so go check out all the goodies.
     I'll be back with two cards for Inky on Wednesday. One is for the weekly challenge and the other is for the Inky Impressions new release blog hop.  There are some great rubberstamps up for prizes so don't miss out.  These stamps are great quality deep rubber for those wonderful clean crisp stamped images.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments--any sentiment + use your scraps
Craft Us Crazy--anything new and/or humorous
Little Darlings Challenges--cold
Creative Card Crew--snow day
Digital Tuesday--winter wonderland

     Hope MaMaw makes you smile today.  Be blessed!
