Get Inky Card Challenge #2 Another Creation

 Hi Stampers and Crafty Friends! 

No video today, I'm just sharing a card design I created for our Get Inky Card Challenge over on Facebook. 

This card uses all Lavinia Stamps, OLO Markers, Elements and Versafine Clair inks. 

This fall color combination is one of my all time favorites and was inspired by Sandi MacIver way back when we both demonstrated stamps for the same company. Sandi is a fabulous designer so if you're not sure who she is, look her up. You'll be glad you did. Enjoy your long weekend!

 Hi Stampers and Crafty Friends!

Here's a quick and easy video showing you how to make a simple wreath design that you can use for any occasion just by changing out your selection of stamps and sentiments. I haven't been well so I think you'll enjoy the music more than the sound of my voice this week. 

Thanks for watching and see you soon!

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi stampers!

Join me today to make a winter wreath using Card-io Stamps using a baby wipe blending technique. I just love Card-io Stamps. The variety of stamps in one set is such a great value... I'm not selling them, I'm just sharing what I love in case you have never seen this brand.

Pipspell's Snowy Day

 Hi Stampers and Crafty Friends! 

No tutorial today from me, but you can check back next Tuesday...and Thursday will begin our next Get Inky Card Challenge! But for today I'll share a card I worked on this morning, following a tutorial by Jo Rice from Lavinia Stamp's Design Team. My car is a bit different from Jo's and I focused on the snowy backdrop followed her idea to color in the mouse using Mondeluz pencils. He's so cute! I'll definitely be using this technique again ❤️ 

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you bright and early Tuesday morning!

 Good morning stampers! 

How about making a fun Halloween card this week? I used Lavinia Stamps for this design but it could easily be replicated with any Halloween stamps. If  you give it a go, remember to tag me in it on Facebook or Instagram. I'd love to see how you were inspired!

Get Inky Card Challenge

Hi Stampers! 

Today I'm sharing a design made with Lavinia's Dreamscape paper and a Sweet Poppy Stencil. I noticed this morning that this particular paper met the colors for the challenge so I made a quick 5 minute card using some supplies that were still on my desk. If you haven't joined yet, please look for the Get Inky Card Challenge group on Facebook. All brands of stamps are welcome.

How to use Gesso and Acrylic Paint On Your Stamping Projects

 Good morning stampers and crafty friends! Are you getting ready for Halloween? Here is a Halloween card I recently made, using some Lavinia Stamps from my stash, while I was waiting for the newest collection to arrive at my mailbox. I will probably be enjoying the last bit of sunshine for the upcoming days but I will absolutely squeeze in some time to have a play with those and share them here as well! 

In the meantime, break out your stamp platform, blending brushes, any ink you have on hand along with your Gesso and acrylic paint and watch as I show you how you can make your stamped images pop over a bold inky background!

Hop on over to my YouTube channel  My Magical Inkery Tour  to follow along. While you're there remember to hit the "subscribe" button and give this video a thumbs up so it will reach more stamping addicts.

If you try this technique, please be sure to share it on your social media posts and remember to tag me!

The Happy Little Scarecrow Round 2!

Hi Stampers and Crafty Friends! 

Earlier this week I re-shared a video titled The Happy Little Scarecrow on my social media pages.

I did take some time to re-create this card and follow my own tutorial. Using the same background I chose different stamps, added a bit of shading around the edges and here is the result:

Same ink pads, step by step, different stamps. Hope you enjoy the comparison. If you're not already subscribed to my YouTube channel make sure to click the link above and ring that bell. I have lots planned for the coming months!

See you soon! ❤️
