Still Lovin' Those Penguins!

I am having so much fun with the Let's Chill set of penguin stamps from Technique Junkies!  These little guys are just adorable and so fun to create cards with! And one of my favorite winter/Christmas color combinations, teal and red, is a perfect fit for this fun card.

To create the card, I trimmed down a panel and die cut a circle into it. I trimmed down a slightly larger panel and lightly traced the circle with a pencil so I knew where to stamp. On the larger panel, I stamped the penguin, colored him and the background and attached it to an A2 card base.

For the top panel with the hole, I stamped snowflakes from the Snowflakes Set of 9. That was attached to the card base using foam tape, and I added a few rhinestones for a little added bling.

Hope you got a little inspiration today for all those holiday cards you are probably working on with gusto!

Til next time,

Keepin' it inky!

Inks and Stamps and Brushes...Oh My!

I love the Fall and all the beautiful colors Mother Nature has to share (albeit for a very short time). It is these colors that inspired the card I have to share with you today.

I attended a recent Stamp Show in Sevierville, TN where I got to do some demo's for the fabulous Technique Junkies (thanks, Pat!!!). Of course, I just HAD to pick up some new stamps while I was there. This one just caught my eye. I immediately saw in my head what I wanted the card to look like, inspired by the colors of Fall. As soon as I got home, I pulled out my IZINK Ink Pads, Ink Blending Brushes, and the Bare Tree Duo stamp, and created this festive Thanksgiving card.

I absolutely adore how this came together so easily to create such a stunning card. I think Mother Nature would be proud. The photo below shows the additional products I used.

Ink Blending Brushes

Nuvo Glitter Marker

After stamping the image on cream CS, I used the blending brushes to add the colorful areas on the trees and on the ground. The piece was trimmed down, the edges highlighted with the Iced Americano marker, matted on Kraft CS, then adhered to a brown card base. The sentiment is from the Thanksgiving Blessings set, which I also picked up at the show.

I kept the inside of the card simple using another sentiment from the Thanksgiving Blessings set.

If you want to make some Thanksgiving cards, I highly recommend these two sets. I can even save you 10% on your order. Simply enter TJ10Ro at checkout.

Happy Fall, Y'all!
