I wish every day was a beach day....

Hello Inky Friends!

Today's card is pretty quick and simple as I am working with limited access

to all my artsy supplies at the moment.  

I LOVE this stamp though and again, I think it lends itself very nicely to creating summer masculine cards ~ especially if you have a Birthday Greeting to add to it!

I used Sea Grass Lighthouse for the focal image cutting it out from the Journey Ovals die set.

I colored the image  lightly with colored pencils, added some Journey Twine behind it and

popped it off the card front. The image Beach Day was stamped along the bottom.

The cloud embossing folder is also offered from Fun Stampers Journey

and I inked up the raised side with white ink before running my blue paper through the machine!

We are just a couple short weeks to another NEW RELEASE Blog Hop and I've already seen a preview of some of the new stamps!! Mark your calendars for it now so you won't miss the hop and the sale! ;)

Until next time...

Happy Creating!

Greetings Inky Friends!!

Stopping by today to show you a a card made with a few items from

the Spring Into Summer Fun Stamper's Journey catalog!

This DON'T SINK ATS set comes with a matching DIE that

you can choose for FREE when you spend $50!!

I paper pieced the nose of the float using Fun Filled Prints and set the float in water

using paper from the Nautical Adventures Pad.

I inked up the Above The Clouds embossing folder with Whip Cream True Color Fusion

Ink Pad on the cloud side and ran it through giving the card stock a letterpress feel.

I colored the float using the Blender solution and Blending brushes 

along with the Candy Apple ink.

The NEW catalog is about to release on JULY 1, 2016 and

will be 100 PAGES larger than our current 220 page catalog!! How amazing will THAT be??

I'm so excited to see all the new and fabulous goodies!! 

If you'd like to pre-order and reserve your copy,

please let me know!

Local pick-up is $7.00 and

mailing priority is $12.00. You will also receive

the NEW HOLIDAY CATALOG as well!!!

Until next time...

Happy Creating!!

All Ears!

Hello Inky Friends,

Just a couple more minutes before Easter is over for another year!
This year Easter fell on my birthday! So it was a wonderful day from beginning to end with a beautiful church service and dinner and time spent with family and friends. I am truly blessed!

I wanted to share a card I made with the All Ears Bundle. This set was so popular it quickly became on back order! He's so cute, I can see why!

I used the Yummy Dots Embossing folder for the background and the Spring Parade Paper from the Spring Mini catalog!  You only have one more week to purchase from this catalog so let me know how I can help! That cute little Pom Pom is from a pack that you can earn FREE when you place a $50 order!

You also have a week left to order from the LUCKY ME, LUCKY YOU campaign where there's a TON of "green" items reduced 20% OFF! There's inks, cardstock, dies and  so much more!

I hope you take the time to browse my website and get a feel for our products. They really are top-notch! And drop me a line to find out how you can get your hands on the hard copy if you'd like! :)

Make sure and stop by my side-line, Sheree Dilley Blog to see what she created with the same "All Ears" set!

And my upline, Alex Gomez took advantage of the Luck You Lucky Me promotion and made some cute St. Pat's cards!

Until next time...

Happy Creating!

Greetings my Inky Friends!

Today is my turn to share on the Design Team Blog
and I'm here to show you a couple more of the January Releases!

Remember the TJ January New Releases are 15% OFF if you order by January 8th!!

I'm going to start with this fun little puppy called Perfect Companions.

It's hard to see the shimmer in the background but I used Perfect Pearls and clear embossing powder in a technique from the Emboss or Die CD! So many fun step-by-step tutorials if you like to heat/dry emboss, use a die cutting machine and so much more!

Next up is this sassy little card to send to your main squeeze!

The SENTIMENT cracked me up and well, I can kinda relate! ;)  I was so happy to have already owned the Fan Girl stamp and thought she fit perfectly with the saying!

For this background, I used alcohol inks and a stencil from the Sensational Stencils CD and then I also ran it through the Big Shot with an embossing folder.

I will be sharing again over there on the 18th, but make sure and bookmark that BLOG
 to see the others inspiring ideas with the new releases!!   {{{Inky Hugs}}} ~Tonya :D
