Thursday's Inspiration

Hey all, Lisa here to bring you a little inspiration on this Halloween day.

Nope...not a Halloween project...LOL

Think colder...think Christmas!

I have designed a cut file that I made into a Christmas card and used the Eggplant - 4mm flat back pearls from the store. 

I hope this brings you a little inspiration.

This will be my last post for the Inky Impressions Inspiration Blog. I have enjoyed my time here and wish you all a blessed and creative life. See you in blog land.

Happy Halloween

Happy Thursday!

Lisa here with your Thursday Inky Inspiration.

I have used the Happy Halloween Pennant as my main focal point for this cute Halloween card.

Decorative papers are from the Me & My Big Ideas Mambi Sheets 6x6 paper pad and are layered onto black card stock from Recollections and the white cardstock base is from Georgia Pacific. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

What do you think...cute, huh??

See ya next Thursday!

Merry Kiss-Mas

Hey y'all!

It's Thursday, so that means it's my turn 

to bring you a little inspiration.

I have decided to use the adorable Merry Kiss-Mas.

Are these not just two of the cutest and sweetest penguins you've ever seen??

I decided that I wanted to make an easel card that would fold flat and be suitable for mailing, so I used a file from Bird's Cards and 

cut out this beautiful doily easel card on my Silver Bullet Professional cutter.

I then did a print & cut of the penguins and the sentiment as well with my cutter.

Since I wanted to be able to mail it in a regular envelope, 

I decided not to add very much dimension.

I did, however, use some glitter glue from Ranger to add a little sparkle. 

The Penguins were colored with my copics:

E 41, 70, 74

G 40, 43, 94, 99

B 12, 14, 18

R 05, 08, 17

Y 38

YR 00, 04

N 4, 6, 8

C 5, 7, 9, 10

Blender

I hope this has helped to spark your creativity in some small way. 

Until next Thursday...

Marlee

Hi all, it's Lisa H. here with some Inky Inspiration...

Today I have used the rubber stamp Winter Fashion Marlee for my card. I needed a birthday card and I thought she would be fabulous for it.

Doesn't she make a really cute "birthday girl"?? I think so.

So that is my offering for today, hope I've inspired you to think of using your stamps in another way.

Until next Thursday,

Lisa H

Witch's Broom

Hey everyone, I hope you are all having a great day! 

It’s Lisa here with a little Inky Impressions Inspiration for you.

Well, today is my very first posting day on Inky Impressions Inspiration Blog…sooo excited to be a part of this team!

I wanted to share an idea for all of those little ghosts and goblins out there.  I got the idea of my broom covered lollipop from Splitcoast Stampers. You can find their tutorial here.  I used a Dum-Dum Sucker for my broom and the cut sizes SCS has works perfectly.

 I gathered my supplies:

•  Inky Impressions Digi Stamp Happy Halloween Pennant or any Halloween or Fall image from Inky Impressions
•  Ink for inking the paper - I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in black soot, vintage photo & walnut stain
•  Sucker of choice (round works best) If you are using a bigger sucker, measure to make sure it will cover and adjust accordingly. 
•  Brown/Craft Cardstock – I used Recollections brand
•  Markers of choice – I used Copics YG23 &C1
•  Twine for “tying” the broom on – I used Doodle Twine Bon Bon 
•  Glue or tape
•   Any extra bling you wish to use

Using the instructions from Splitcoast Stampers, assemble your broom.

Here are the pics of mine in the process:

 

This would be a really great idea for Trick-or-Treat night, a Fall Harvest / Halloween gift for the class or a teacher or even a co-worker. Give it a try, they work up really quick and are just so stinking cute!

I hope I have given you a little inspiration today.

Thanks for stopping by,

Lisa Howell
