Simply INKredible Stamping

Another Birthday Card

 I have lots of birthdays in January so I am in the Birthday card making mode. This is a simple and fast card to send to a friend.  I used Pretty in Pink as my base card.  I used the  Framed Tulips embossing folder for the Big Shot to give some texture to the card.  I cut a small piece of our Valentine DSP and tied a 1/4" Whisper White ribbon around it.  I stamped the cake using the new "Bring on the Cake" stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The "So Many Candles" wording is from the same set.  This is a great set for birthdays.  Check it out.

Karen had a car accident on the ice about a week ago.  She totaled her car.  The Lord was with her in the accident as she plunged down a ditch.  She told me she had trees sticking up thru the interior of the car. She could have been killed.  I have spent a week looking for her a car.  I finally found one and she is so happy.  I don't think she will be driving on ice again anytime soon.  Blessings Martha

Birthday card

 Isn't this exciting.  We have spinners and a stamp set to match.  You can say Happy Birthday in lots of ways on one card.  I used the new In Color Poppy Parade as my card.  I stamped the card with the Wonderfully Worn background stamp in Poppy Parade.  I wanted to know what colors looked best with Poppy Parade so I consulted my Color Coach and it suggested I use Baja Blue and So Saffron.  I punched the So Saffron (2" scrap) on both sides with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.  I love punches.  I tied a piece of Baja Blue seam binging around the So Saffron.  I cut a scallop square with the new Scallop Squares 2 die for the Big Shot.  I use my Big Shot for almost every card.  I love it.  The spinner image is stamped in Poppy Parade ink and I attached the spinner.  I hope you like the card.  We made it in our stamp club this month.  I wanted everyone to get their hads on the spinners.  Have a blessed day.  Come back soon.

More from Convention

Here is another trading card I made.  The penguin is from the Every Little Bit stamp set by Stampin' Up! It has lots of darling little stamps.  I love little stamps because you can stamp them anywhere - on notes, envelopes, cards , gift tags  -  so many uses.  I used the new Well Worn background stamp on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the designer paper is Island Oasis.  Of course I had to use the new petal card punch.  I love the new punches.  They seem a lot sharper to me and easier to punch with. 

Yesterday was my birthday.  I received so many wonderful cards and phone calls from friends.  Thank you all for thinking of me.  I love getting cards.  Have a beautiful day.  If you need supplies to make your cards, please place a order with me.  Thanks and Many blessings to you.  Martha

I'm back.  This is the card I demonstrated on Stamp Day (3rd Saturday of each month at 10 AM).  I showed everyone the dryer sheet technique.  I used Petal Pizzazz stamp set.  My colors are Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun and Old Olive.  All are from the Earth Elements group of colors. This was a very easy card to make.  I used sticky pages cut to the size of the stamped portion of the card.  After stamping, adhere the sticky pages, then put your dryer sheet (used) on top.  Then pour dazzling diamonds glitter on top.  Add words for the Oval All set and punched with the Scallop Oval Punch then some ribbon.  It is quick and easy...you are done in a flash.

  I cannot believe how much fun I am having with this Big Shot.  Are you tired of me saying this?  I just want to get the message out about this fabulous machine.  I made this basket using the Baskets & Blooms Bigz XL die.  I used Kiwi Kiss textured 12 X 12 cardstock to make the basket.  I also cut out the band to go atoud the basket and the flower in Raspberry Tart DSP.  This basket looked intimidating at first, but it is really easy to put together.  I hoe you will try one.

Todd is out of town for a week.  I miss him.  I hoe you have a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Good Morning,

Here is another cards that I am taking for a shoebox swap.  I only had to make 2 of these cards and demonstrators at convention will make their own.  I used the Fresh Cuts set.  Is is a simple but elegant card.  I hope you like it.  Bessings.  Martha

Fresh Cuts 2

Here is another card made with the Fresh Cut notes and stamp set.  I used the 5 petal punch which coordinates perfectly with the note cards.

Bloomin' Beautiful Card

Hey,  Spring is here.  I am making flower cards as fast as I can.  I got this idea from Faye McGinley - thanks Faye.   Faye sent me a beautiful card with a violet on the front.  I decided to use the Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set in Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Mini Catalog. 

I used the Confetti White cardstock and stamped the image in Black Stazon.  I colored it with our Aqua Painter and the Ruby Red re-inker and the Old Olive re-inker.  Then I ran the card top thru the Cuttlebug using one of my template folders.  I then took another template folder design and ran it through on the bottom of the card. Then I tied a pretty Old Olive ribbon on the card.  It's pretty don't ya think?   I just love stamping and all the opportunites it gives me.  Your turn to try making this card or a similar one.  Have a blessed day and thanks for looking.  Martha

Wild Wasabi Birthday card

Today I am working on my $10 Tuesday class.  I decided to make a birthday card inspired by Stampin' Up! using the Wild Wasabi cardstock special cut paper.  I used Bashful Blue textured cardstock and the new Bashful Blue striped grosgrain ribbon.  I love this ribbon in all the colors.  I hope it makes you happy.  Martha
