SSINKspiration Manly Monday: Nailed It

Good morning and Happy Monday!  We're approaching the end of January, is there any way to get these days to slow down?  At least we got to enjoy some fun times this weekend which is really the best!  Today on the SSINKspiration blog it's Manly Monday and the designers are sharing some fun ideas for the guys in their lives.  I love these cards, maybe it's because I'm in a house full of guys so I always need "dude" cards.

I started with Delightful Dijon cardstock for the cardbase and then added Basic Black cardstock for the cardfront.  On this layer I used some Very Vanilla Craft Ink (for a past Paper Pumpkin Kit) and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to stamp some subtle splotches on the background.

Next I took a piece of Silver Foil paper and embossed it with the Big Shot and Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder (this is such a fun new embossing folder, you'll love it!  I also added a strip of Urban Undersground Speciality Designer Paper for a punch of color.

Have you seen the new Nailed It stamp set and coordinating framelits in the Occasions catalog?  These are so fun and perfect for guys.  After stamping some of the tools I colored them with Stampin' Write markers and cut them out.  On the parts of the tool that are supposed to be metal I added some Clear Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle. 

I had the idea to make the tools look like their sitting in a pants pocket so I took a piece of Dapper Denim cardstock and punched it out with the Best Badge Punch (I trimmed off the top).  To add a little texture to the pocket I took my Dapper Denim Stampin' Write Marker and just added some random marks to highlight texture.  I also used the White Gel Pen to add some stitching around the edge of the pocket.  When attaching the pocket to the cardfront I left the top open so I could easily tuck in the tools.  The final touch was to add the greeting, which is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Delightful Dijon ink on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I used the Big Shot and Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits to cut out the greeting and then dimensionals were used to attach the greeting.

This bundle and all the coordinating products in their years Occasions catalog are so much fun, it will make those masculine cards and projects so fun and easy (I see lots of uses coming up, especially for birthdays and Father's Day)

SSINKspiration Valentine's: School Note Valentine

Good morning!  Do you remember when you were in school doodling in your notebooks and making fun and elaborate designs either because you were bored or maybe you were preoccupied with the latest cutie that you just couldn't stop thinking about (oh the joys).  We'll one of my friends showed me a card she saw that that that same look and was going to make some so I decided to take my crack at one too since it was fun and easy.  Today the SSINKspiration blog designers are sharing their Love/Valentine's themed card and since I can't stop making these cards right now I had to get in on the fun.

I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Real Red Cardstock for my Whisper White cardfront.  On the Whisper White piece I started with the Writing Notes stamp and stamped the background to look like notebook paper (this is such a great background set!).  Next I used the Sealed with Love stamp set and randomly stamped all over the cardfront images using Basic Black, Going Grey, and Real Red ink.

I wanted a little pop so I stamped one of the greetings in Real Red ink on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with the Big Shot and Layering Circles Framelits.  As you know I believe all valentine's should have a little sparkle so I used some Silver Glimmer Paper and cut out a scalloped circle mat for the greeting using the same framelits and then popped the whole thing up with dimensionals.

The great thing about this card is not only is it fun and festive but it was also really fast to make and flat so it's perfect for mailing.  Have you finished all your Valentine projects yet?  I'm still working and have planned something fun this year for Aidan starting next week so I need to get cracking!  If you need more love inspiration make sure to check out the other design team creations, so many possibilities!

Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge CCMC441: Sealed with Love

Good morning!  I'm still in the Valentine mood (forgive me but I love this time of year and letting others know how much you care about them so I tend to go a little overboard).  Today I decided to play along with the Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge for this card with lots of layers and elements that really pop.

I started with Smoky Slate cardstock and then added a piece of Real Red cardstock as the mat for the Basic Black cardfront.  Around these layers I wrapped a piece of Real Red Ribbon from the Sending Love Ribbon Combo pack.  Next I used the coordinating Sending Love Designer Series Paper and cut out two squares of the DSP using the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Next I used the same framelits and went one size smaller to cut out two more squares using Smoky Slate cardstock.  On one square I used the Sealed with Love stamp set to stamp "hugs and kisses" in Basic Black ink and the other I attached a kiss that I made by stamping Real Red Ink on Whisper White cardstock, but it out with Paper Snips and then attached it to the square with a dimensional.

Next I used the Big Shot and the Swirly Scribbles Framelits to cut the circle design out of Silver Glimmer Paper (I trimmed the little tags of the shape that made it look a little more floral) and then stamped the center heart using Real Red ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with the Sweet and Sassy Framelits and attached it with a dimensional as well (I told you this card had lots of layers).

The final touch was to add a greeting and for this I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and after stamping in Basic Black ink on Real Red cardstock I punched it out with the Classic Label Punch and again used dimensionals to attach it to the cardfront.  The final touch was to add some rhinestones around the cardfront for a little extra bling.

There are so many fun little touches on this card, and I really do love how using the Stitched Shapes framelits really adds extra detail that punches the card up a notch.  This card sketch would also be a great way to use of some paper scraps you may have lying around that you don't want to get rid of.

SSINKspiration Technique Challenge #SSINKTC41: Bokeh Valentine

Good morning!  It's the start of the new week and it's always excited to see what's in store for us.  Monday also brings us a new challenge over on the  SSINKspiration blog and this time it's a technique challenge, which I always look forward to each month.  This month's technique is bokeh and I've always admired the technique and didn't realize how easy it really is until I actually tried it and I love how soft and angelic it looks.

I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that I embossed with gold embossing powder using the Timeless Textures stamp set (such an elegant stamp).  Next I used the Big Shot and Sweet and Sassy Framelits to cut a large heart out of Whisper White cardstock.  On the heart I used a sponge to  swirl Real Red and Basic Black ink all over the heart.  Next I took a sponge dauber and Whisper White Craft ink and gently sponged circles using the craft ink to create the bokeh technique (see it really is that simple!)

Next I used the Sealed with Love stamp set and stamped the greeting in Basic Black ink on Real Red cardstock before cutting it out with the same framelits.  I added a gold heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes and then attached the greeting to the cardfront with dimensionals.





The final touch was to add a knot I tied using the gold ribbon from the 3/8" Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack (a Sale-a-bration Freebie!) and after tying the knot I really worked the edges so they would separate and fray for added texture before attaching the ribbon to the cardfront with a glue dot.

Using the bokeh technique along with the heat embossing added a really nice romantic touch to the card, which is just what I was going for.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team made using this technique (such a great variety) and then we would love for you to come play along with us and share what you create.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge: Suite Sentiments

 Good morning!  It’s so much fun when I get a little extra time and get to play along with challenges, it really helps me get outside of my usual style.  Today I decided to play along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments Color challenge and these are colors I don’t normally use together.  I also decided to play with one of my Sale-a-bration freebies, the fun Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper and decided to color the whole piece in so my little card took much longer than I initially planned but was very happy with the end result.

I started with Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the cardbase and then added a layer of Basic Black cardstock which is a great mat to help the colors pop from my coloring.  On the Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper I used Flirty Flamingo, Emerald Envy, and Watermelon Wonder to color in and used both Stampin’ Write Markers and a blender pen and ink pads to work to get definition and different layers and dimension of colors in the design.

For the greeting I used the Suite Sentiments stamp set (don’t overlook this set in the Occasions catalog just because it’s on the last page) and stamped the greeting in Emerald Envy ink on Watermelon Wonder cardstock before cutting it out with the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits (so happy these are back in stock, I’m kind of obsessed right now). And then made a mat using some Copper Foil Paper and the Layering Circles Framelits and then Basic Black with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Dimensionals were used to attached the top layer for a little extra height.  The final touch was to add a double bow I tied using Emerald Envy Baker’s Twine.

One of the great things about having such a detailed background is the rest of the elements can be more simple so they compete with each other and instead work together.

Fab Friday Sketch Challenge: Custom Tee

Happy Tuesday!  Did you have an extended holiday weekend to enjoy?  The guys were off yesterday while I had to work but it was a fun weekend so all's good.  Part of this weekend I had a friend come over for a little stamping playdate which was a lot of fun and I decided to use this weeks Fab Friday sketch challenge for this card for a young lady that I want to know I'm thinking of her.  This Custom Tee bundle and coordinating Tie Died stamp set are super fun and so hype!

I started with Blushing Bride cardstock for the cardbase and then added a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Elegant Dots Embossing folder for a fun background.  Next I added several offset squares of paper using the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper for the pattern pieces which were separated with Tempting Turquoise cardstock. I added some heart enamel dots from the Brights and Subtles Enamel Dots to tie all the colors on the card together.

For the stamped image I used the Custom Tee stamp set and stamped the T-shirt in Basic Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out with the Big Shot and coordinating T-shirt Builder Framelits.  I used the Tie Died Stamp set to stamp the heart design on the T-shirt (I have to tell you this is a 2-stamp stamp set to make the color layers really easy, I didn't realize this at first and was struggling trying to get the nice tie dye look until I realized it was a 2 stamp set, haha!)  To finish off the T-shirt I felt it needed a little bling so I added a Gold Metallic Heart Enamel Shape from the Metallics Enamel Shapes and then attached the shirt to the cardfront with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set (this set is fun since there's lots of separate words and you can build your greeting so you have lots of possibilities).  The greeting was stamped in Melon Mambo ink on Blushing Bride cardstock and then punched it out with the Classic Label Punch before attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals.

This card just makes me happy and brings a smile to my face and I can't wait to give it to my sweet friend, what a cutie!

SSINKspiration Favorite Occasions Accessory Item: It's all About the Love!

Good morning and Happy Friday!  The Occasions catalog has so many great products and accessories that coordinate no matter what you're mood you'll find something perfect and today the SSINKspiration designers are sharing some of their favorite accessories from the Occasions catalog.  Since I'm still in a Valentine frame of mind it's only fitting that I'm sharing this card that shows off all the great products in the Sealed with Love Product suite.

 

I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the cardfront.  I used the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits (they're going to be back available for sale on Monday so make sure you don't miss out, I love them!) and cute two squares out of Sending Love Designer Series Paper, another out of Real Red cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Happy Heart Embossing Folder, and the last using Whisper White cardstock.  I used the Sealed with Love stamp set to stamp the greeting in Basic Gray ink and then stamped the kiss using Real Red ink on Smoky Slate cardstock, cut it out with Paper Snips, and then attached it with dimensionals.

 I wanted to add some extra touches so I used on of the arrow pieces from the Love Notes Framelits and some Silver Foil Paper to make the arrow.  The row of hearts was stamped and then cut out with the same framelit set.  The final touch was to add some Real Red Ribbon from the Sending Love Ribbon Pack and one of the Sending Love Wooden Embellishments.

 

I had so much fun adding all the little elements to this card, you can just keep going and going.  Is there such a thing as too many embellishments?  Don't think so...  I'm going to have a quiet weekend (the guys are camping so I'm hoping to get some extra stamping time in, lots of ideas in my head and never enough time!!)

SSINKspiration January Blog Hop: Birthday Madness!

Good morning!  The holidays are all wrapped up and 2017 is off to a running start.  I’ll admit I’m hoping for lots of big snow this year (despite what Aidan’s wishing for) and looking forward to some winter fun.  One thing that everyone celebrates, and goes on all year long is birthdays so the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration decided to focus on birthday’s for this month’s blog hop.  This is also perfect timing for me since the first half of the year is very heavy for birthday’s in my world, starting with Aidan’s next month so I decided to go with a fun birthday card that works equally well for guys and gals.  This year’s Occasions catalog is jam packed with products perfect for all your birthday needs.

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number #2 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Cathy A. at Maine Mountain Stamper. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

I started with Mint Macaron cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock as a mat for the Whisper White cardfront.  On the cardfront I started by using the Tie Died stamp set and stamped the background in Mint Macaron (I stamped twice to fill the cardfront).  The greeting is from the Birthday Blast stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy ink.  Next I used the coordinating Star Blast Edgelits (you can get both the stamp set and edgelits as a bundle for a discount) to cut the awesome stars out of Silver Foil Paper.  I attached the edge cutout to the cardfront just along the bottom so I could slightly bend the stars so they really pop off the card.

Next I took a piece of Carried Away Designer Series Paper (one of the 2017 Sale-a-bration freebies, yeah) along the bottom of the cardfront.  I tied a bow using some Peekaboo Peach 3/8” Ruched Ribbon and attached it to the cardfront in the center of the edgelit with a glue dot.  The final touch was to add a Night of Navy Star Enamel shape (from the Regals Enamel Shapes) in the center of the largest star cutout for an extra little detail.

 

This card is actually really easy to make but all the different textures and elements really elevates the card and makes a “wowser card”, love that!

SSINKspiration Card Sketch SSINKCS41: Hey, Chick

Good morning!  Lots of fun this weekend and it went by in a blur (enjoying every minute)!  With the start of the new week brings a new challenge over on the SSINKspiration blog, this time it is a sketch challenge.  I've been digging into playing with all the great products in the Ocassions and Sale-a-bration catalogs and decided to use the Hey, Chick stamp set that is oh so uber cute (and FREE during this promotion!!)

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock and then used the Timeless Textures stamp set to stamp the image using Crumb Cake ink and then splatter using Dapper Denim ink for a background with lots of texture. Next I took a piece of Peekaboo Peach cardstock and cut it out using the Big Shot and Lots of Labels Framelits and then embossed it with the Sparkle Embossing Folder.  The designer series paper is Dapper Denim and is from the 2016-2018 In Colors Designer Series Paper Stack that was cut into a flag.  For a fun decorative element I took a Mini Paper Clip (new in the Occasions Catalog) and tied a double bow using Crushed Curry Baker's Twine.

For the main stamped image I stamped the cute little chicken peeking out of the corner using Basic Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and then stamped the greeting in Basic Black as well.  To color in the chicken I used the Peekaboo Peach Stampin' Write Marker to color in the hair and tail by drawing lots of little marks so it has some texture  To color in the body I used the new Watercolor Pencils and colored Daffodil Delight and then used a Blender Pen to spread and even out the color.  Once I had the color the way I wanted I attached the piece with dimensionals.

This card is so fun, it puts a smile on your face and these new watercolor pencils are great and super easy to use (you should give them a chance).  The other design team members are sharing some great cards using the same sketch so go check them out and then come play along, we would love to see what you create!

SSINKspiration Occasions Birthdays: Custom Tee

Happy Friday!  Hope your new year is off to a great start, we're even looking at our first snow of the season.  One of the things that we all celebrate all year long is birthdays so today the SSINKspiration designers have gotten together to share some birthday cards to help you get a head start on birthday greetings for the upcoming year.  This years Occasions catalog is jam packed with stamps, framelits, and lots of fun papers and embellishments for all your birthday needs.   One of the first stamp sets I knew I had to get when I first saw the catalog was the Custom Tee and coordinating Tie Died stamp set since they're so fun and full of so many options.

I started with Dapper Denim cardstock and used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to stamp some splatter using Dapper Denim ink in the background.  I also added some enamel stars from the Metallics and 2016-2018 In Colors Enamel shapes as accents.

Next I took a piece of Cucumber Crush designer series paper from the 2015-2017 In Colors Designer Series Paper Stack and then matted it with Peekaboo Peach cardstock.  I used some Basic Black cardstock and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Die (I used my Paper Snips to trim off all the little nobbies that look leaf like to make the shape a little more masculine).

For the main stamped image I used the Custom Tee stamp set and stamped the t-shirt outline in Basic Black ink and then then used the Tie Died stamp set and Stampin' Write Markers to create my tie died shirt look.  I stamped the #1 in Basic Black as well before cutting out the shirt with the coordinating T-shirt Builder Framelits and attached the shirt to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Cucumber Crush ink on Peekaboo Peach cardstock, punched out with the Classic Label Punch and attached with dimensionals for a perfect final touch.

I was so happy with how fun this card turned out and I may be making several more of these in the future (even changing up the colors) since it's so cheery!  Make sure to check out all the other birthday cards the design team is sharing, you'll love them!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge: Sealed with Love

Good morning!  There's the possibility of snow in our forecast which has everyone excited (we'll have to see what actually comes).  Today I decided to play along with  Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge and made this really fun Valentine's Card (it's the kick I'm currently on as I plan upcoming classes and projects so you can be ready as well).

I started with Melon Mambo cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper that was matted with Whisper White cardstock.  I love this this paper since the it has so many different patterns and I knew this would make great Valentine paper when it was first released last summer!

Next I took a piece of Gold Foil Paper and embossed it with the Big Shot and Happy Heart Embossing Folder (I love these hearts!) and cut the tails in it with Paper Snips.

The greeting is from the new Sealed with Love stamp set (from the Occasions Catalog which was released yesterday) and was stamped in Melon Mambo ink on Whisper White cardstock and then cut out with the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits (hopefully more of these framelits will be available starting later this month so if you weren't able to get them in the first release get ready and be prepared to place your order as soon as the news of their arrival is released, I'll let you know!)  The greeting was attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  For a final little touch a took the kiss stamp and heat embossed in with the Heat Tool and Gold Embossing Powder before cutting them out with Paper Snips and attaching with a dimensional (the gold lips remind me of the Hunger Games crazy outfits!!)

I really liked how this card turned out and the pop of black against the pink with gold tickles my heart, yummy!!

SSINKspiration 2017 Occasions Catalog Countdown #2: Urban Underground

All good things must come to an end, in this case it's our Christmas vacation so back to school and work we go!  Just a couple more days until the 2017 Occasions catalog is released so it's time for another additional of the SSINKspiration blog countdown, today it's about the Urban Underground Suite, one that I'm sure will be very popular for all the dudes we know and love.

I started with Delightful Dijon cardstock for the cardbase and then added a layer of Basic Gray cardstock as a mat for the cardfront which is Very Vanilla with the nuts and bolts from the Nailed It stamp set stamped all over.  Next I took a piece of paper from the awesome Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack and cut out a circle using the Big Shot and Layering Circles Framelits (I used the same framelits to cut a mat out of Delightful Dijon cardstock.

The saw image was stamped in Basic Black Ink and then colored in using Smoky Slate and Basic Gray Stampin' Write Markers.  I wanted to give the saw a little metallic look so I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the blade and bolts parts before cutting it out. 

The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Delightful Dijon ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut out with the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits before attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add a bow tied with Linen Thread.

I love all the fun images in this set and cheeky sayings that go along with them, so many fun options.  The other design team members are sharing some great cards using other products from this suite so make sure to check them out and then add them to your wish list soon!

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Color Challenge SSINKCC41: Paper Pumpkin Anniversary

Good morning and Happy Monday!  It's the last day of vacation before we all head back to work and school and after being busy all break we're taking this last day to just chill out and relax (which is perfect since it's chilly and rainy here today).  Today the SSINKspiration blog is kicking off a new year of challenges and inspiration and what better way than with a color sketch?  With all the Christmas and holiday projects that were flying around I decided to change things up with an anniversary card (which is perfect since I have friends who celebrated their anniversary and needed to make them something special).

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock that was stamped with the Hardwood stamp set using Blushing Bride ink and then sponged all over with Crumb Cake ink.

Next I took a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and used the Big Shot and Detailed Floral Thinlits to cut out the two pieces and then used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to attach it and then wrapped a piece of Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim around the middle and tied a little knot.

For the greeting I was a little stumped since I couldn't actually find any anniversary stamp in my current collection (how is that possible?) so I went to my Paper Pumpkin stamps and was able to build this stamp which is perfect!  I stamped the greeting with Mint Macaron ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut it out with the Big Shot and Layering Ovals Framelits.  I created a scalloped mat for the greeting using the same framelits and some Crumb Cake cardstock and then attached the greeting with dimensionals.

The soft colors and textures on this card are perfect for anniversary greetings and know my friend will love it!  Make sure to check out the other design teams creations using this color combination and we would love for you to come play along with us!

I started with Real Red cardstock for the cardbase and then took a piece of Basic Black cardstock and used the Big Shot and the Love Notes Framelits (part of the Sending Love bundle) to cut the side border of hearts that are cut and scored so they fold up.  Next I added a piece of Sending Love Designer Series Paper along the left side. 

The greeting is from Sealed with Love stamp set and was stamped in Real Red ink on Whisper White cardstock before being cut out with the Big Shot and the Sweet & Sassy Framelits and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  For the two other decorative hearts the foil heart was cut out of the Gold Foil Paper and the framelit and then I used heat embossing and Gold Emboss Powder for the red and gold heart before cutting it out with the same framelit set (this set as lots of fun elements).  The final touch was to add a couple gold enamel hearts from the Metallic Enamel Shapes.
