More From Bootcamp with Jennifer Dove - Kitty N Pumpkin

Sometimes when I look back at these images I colored at Jenn Dove's Bootcamp I just can't believe I did this... this is the Kitty 'n Pumpkin stamp from Whimsy... but we added the entire scene around this cute kitty with our alcohol markers!  

I didn’t want to cover up my masterpiece so I added a simple border and one banner for a backdrop to a simple word die sentiment from A Jillian Vance Design. 

That’s it!  Short and sweet! Just wanted to share this before Halloween came and went. 

Thank you for stopping!  Come again soon!

 

Happy BIRTHday! - Miss Ink Stamps

Over on Instagram I'll include a short video so you can see the sparkle!

Crafty Elves Countdown To Christmas - October 2022 Edition

Welcome back!  We're back with a full Crafty Elves post and now we have a new Crafty Elf joining us!  So after you leave here, be sure to head on over to Debra's, Michael's and Misty's places to see what they've created for you!

Here's how I was inspired:

I wasn't sure if I'd have time for all four cards this month, but then I remembered I had some images already colored up from Jenn Dove's Bootcamp and pulled out this adorable Penguin Flies image from Whimsy!  I also used a gel print made with the Swirls Stencil and die cut the image using the Nested Scallop with Half Holes dies from Rubbernecker Stamps and added a sentiment and strip from MFT Stamps.

I promise you that without the help and direction of Jennifer Dove I would not have been able to pull off this coloring!  I know I could if I practiced some of these techniques more.  So that's my goal for the upcoming year... but this one has all props going to Jennifer's expert instruction.  If you ever have a chance to attend one of these Boot Camps, I highly recommend.

Then I came across these images also from Whimsy from the Fa La La Llama digital stamp set!  We were given some practice sheets and this little guy was on some of them... so I colored him up myself in between other coloring as well as the last two.  For this one I'm playing along over at Double Trouble Challenge Blog... there's a sketch challenge:

Be sure if you play along, you use this sketch!  There was a different sketch through the 23rd and this sketch goes through Sunday October 30th!  If you use this sketch you can link up over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and if you make it a Halloween or Fall theme you'll have an extra chance to win at Double Trouble.  Hope you'll give it a go!

For this one I used a gel print background I created with the Frosty Flakes Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps, the Sentiment Strips from A Jillian Vance Design, that Inside Scallop Circle from Stamps of Life, snowflakes dies from Lawn Fawn and the poinsettias and foliage also from some AJVD dies.

This one I decided to use a red and green theme, but it's not your grandma's red and green!

Another gel print blues and green and gold and a touch of red!  Perfect for this guy.  I used that awesome inside scallop from Stamps of Life again and the trees and snow layer are from Rubbernecker; the snowflakes are from Lawn Fawn and Paper Smooches, and the Merry die is from Trinity Stamps.

And this one I used a couple different gel prints and I ran them through my Minc with some Deco Foil... it's so hard to see all of the beautiful shine in these pic so I'll be posting a reel over on Instagram to show it off better.  The Joy word die is from Rubbernecker along with those trees again.  Snowflakes are from Paper Smooches and that cool circle frame I picked up from Reverse Confetti before they closed up shop.

I love that I had gel prints on hand in colors that coordinated with these cutie pies!

With this one I'm playing along over at the BYSH Cardmakers Falling For The Holidays Hop!  It runs through October 28th!  Create a Christmas Card and play along!  Lots of sponsors and prizes and Therm O Web is a sponsor!  You should definitely check this one out!

Before you move along and check out what everyone else has created, let's see who won some Happy Mail from last month's post!

Stenciling Over Gel Prints and Design Paper - Rubbernecker Stamps

I'm up on the blog over at Rubbernecker Stamps with these two cards.

I had fun stenciling over this beautiful design paper from Rubbernecker Stamps... feels like a warm autumn day to me!

And for this one a gel print and it felt like Southwest to me so I added these awesome Kokopelli die cuts from Rubbernecker.

Hope you'll hop on over there for links and details!

 

I've included links below to all of the Rubbernecker Stamps products I used for these cards.  Should you choose to shop using these links I will receive a small compensation at no additional cost to you.  And thank you!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #10 - Gnomes Reminder

Playing along with this month's Reminder Post for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  Miss Ink Stamps is the sponsor and the theme is Christmas, Coffee and Gnomes!  Here's how I was inspired:

I used this cutie pie from the Coffee Gnomes stamp set along with a few other things from the Miss Ink Shop and a sneak peek of an upcoming die set that will be available soon!

I cut the tags first, once from plaid and once from white cardstock and then embossed the winter scene in onto the white tag.  Then I ink blended over it with a couple blues and finally stenciled on some snow with a the Tiny Snowfall Stencil and Glitz Glitter Gel! I assembled it all onto a card base after tying some twine to the tags.

Be sure to head on over to the blog and check out more inspiration and play along!  Thanks so much for stopping!  Come again soon!

 

I'd Lose My Head - Miss Ink Stamps

 

Hello!  I've got some more fun with the Magical Collection for you today!

For this one I used the Ghosties Stamp Set (that Ghost that's about to lose his head!) and the coordinating dies for the Hearts Desire set to create a shaker.  All on a gel print background using the Perfectly Plaid stencil!

I know I'd have trouble keeping track of mine if it wasn't attached!
