Inky Impressions Blog Hop!!! New stamps!!!

September 12, 2009August 14, 2011 Pam Sparks120 Comments

It started Saturday and it’s lasting all week!!! Eight new rubber stamps from Inky Impressions. If you’ve just come to my blog and would like to start at the beginning of the hop you’ll want to go to Nicole’s blog…she is the owner of Inky Impressions rubber stamps and she has a great giveaway you won’t want to miss! Leave a comment here on my blog and you’ll be included in the random drawing for my blog giveaway too! (it’s a surprise)

INTRODUCING…. Flower Lili

So cute in her barefooted way, enjoying the day and the flowers!!!

Here’s a close up of Flower Lili, aren’t her eyes, YG95, just gorgeous? Very easy to color…truly! I used copic sketch markers to color, N1 & 7, the R20 series and nestabilities dies to cut the shapes. A little antique linen distress ink to the edges. I better not forget to tell you, this pattern paper is from Basic Grey Scarlet’s Letter 6×6 pad.

I love using punches to embellish…the little teeny white flowers are beginning to be my “signature” addition to my cards. Easy to make with a mouse pad and an embossing stylus. Just put the flower on the pad and push down in the center with the stylus and they turn up just how I like them! I used the Fiskars apron punch and the Martha Stewart doily lace punch on a band of card-stock that I placed horizontally on the card.

Leaves punched, distressed and the Martha Stewart Cosmo flower punch with a Making Memories rhinestone brad in the center finish off the punched elements.

Enjoy the rest of the hop! Head to Michele’s blog for the next card reveal!

Tilda cooking up somethin’

September 11, 2009August 12, 2017 Pam Sparks19 Comments

The project this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog is this accordian folder holder made with business size envelops, chipboard, pattern papers and of course Magnolia stamps!

Here’s the front! This Tilda is from the Fall Kit you preorder, sight unseen! Full of yummy images!
They are available to order individually now. The kitchen cabinet is from hÄnglar stamps, also a Swedish stamp company. I colored with my copic sketch markers and the pattern papers are from My Minds Eye. The label punch and stamp are from Stampin Up. I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher (staples) and my oval nestabilities dies for the rug. Hope that’s everything…give a holler if I missed something!

Inky Impressions Challenge #14

September 9, 2009September 11, 2009 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Today on the Inky Impressions Challenge blog we’re celebrating Nicole’s birthday with a color challenge, pink and brown, one of Nicole’s favorite color combinations.

I added some pink and brown to the inside too…don’t ask me why I colored the chocolate pink!!! I got a little carried away I guess…lol

Be sure to go by the challenge blog to see the other gal’s pink and brown creations. You’ll find the links to their blogs in my right sidebar under Inky Impressions Inkettes.

AND…Nicole has some birthday blog candy that you will want to check out here on her blog!

The BEST NEWS is the sneak peeks of the new images starting TODAY! Hurrah! I will have some peeks tomorrow…click the sneak peeks box below ….and for more info check out Naoual, Jacqui and Chris

Then on Saturday Sept. 12th plan on blog hopping with us to see the full cards from all the sneek peeks!

Oops…almost forgot! This cute little Angelica Heartsocks stamp I used on the card above is from Inky Impressions rubber stamps. I did have to alter her this time though…I cut her purse off and made a gift bag (hand cut) out of kraft cardstock. The other stamps used are from Hero Arts, Stampendous, Penny Black and Amuse. EK Success punches, medium retro flower, candle and scallop borders. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Swiss dots, on the pink strip. Pierced the holes in the top right corner. Teeny 1/16th in. brads from Bazzill. Small flower is a Michael’s dollar punch.
Hope she brings a smile and Happy Birthday to you, Nicole!!!

Back to School Angelica

September 3, 2009September 2, 2011 Pam Sparks20 Comments

I’ve made this card for THREE challenges…woohoo! Quit laughing at me! I’ve come a long way! lol Cute Card Thursday’s challenge this week is Back to School. The sketch is from Friday Sketchers challenge blog and today’s ways to use it challenge at Splitcoast Stampers is “sand it”! I decided Angelica heartsocks looks all dressed up and ready to go to school! I had to fiddle with the sketch but it looked like the other gals did too…then the “sand it” for SCS is just the matte after-all… I made a couple other things but just couldn’t make them work! I usually do that…that’s why my desk is a mess!

I love the stamps from Inky Impressions….these girls are the sweetest and my faves right now! I’ll be using some new ones soon….can’t wait! First it’ll be sneak peeks and then a blog hop, I’m told…my first!
