Happy Mother's Day...

Good morning!  Ruza here to share my last project as a Inky Impressions Designer. I've had a lovely time creating projects with Inky Impressions Stamp to share with you.

Today's card features the adorable Christopher with Heart with the Happy Mother's Day Sentiment. Copic Markers is the medium used for coloring Christopher.

HB2U ...

Good morning!  Ruza here to share a birthday card featuring part of the lovely image known as College Chic Angelica.

I printed only part of Angelica, colored her with my Copic Markers and they used my Nestabilities dies to cut her out.

Lili's Roses

Hi everyone,

It's Nicole here today with a little inspiration for you, we'll I hope so anyway. I love all of the Lili images and I especially love the Lili's Roses image. It goes perfectly as a Mothers Day card (which I did a few weeks ago) and also as a Birthday card or even a Just Because card. She is super versatile.

Here she is;

So for my little bit of inspiration this week I thought I would share some of my card making tips. I'm sure a lot of you know these but just in case here goes;

My first tip is to use your card stock wisely. I like to cut my matting for my image from the matting under my patterned paper, you can never tell and this is also handy for when you are using scraps. I also design my card around the leftover bits of card stock and patterned paper, it saves on guessing measurements and making decisions, which I am bad at.

Another tip that I have used today is about using your Nesting dies. I am terrible at printing images the right size to then be cut out with my dies so this time I found one that suited the image and I traced around the inside of the die and then cut it by hand, while also fussy cutting around the bits that didn't fit in. This also meant that I could use the die to cut out my card stock and the border would be perfect.

My last tip is to raid your stash, I bet you have forgotten what is in there. Like the pretty border punch I used on this card.

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope I didn't ramble on too much

Cheers Nicole

Baseball Nicholas ...

Good morning!  I hope you all had an amazing weekend. After the crazy storms that we had on Thursday evening in Illinois, I am happy to say that the weekend was uneventful. Baseball season is in full swing, and both the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox had their home openers in the past week. So here is one for all those baseball fans ...

This weeks card features Baseball Nicholas. I flipped the image and used Copic Markers for coloring the image, Gelatos for the sky and pencils to color in the grass.
