National Iced Tea Day With The Coffee Loving Cardmakers!

Hello!  And Happy National Iced Tea Day!  How will you celebrate??  Over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers we're celebrating with a hop!  We're joining Dana on the blog for lots of fun and inspiration!  You probably came here from Amanda's place, and this is probably your last stop, but if not, I have all of the links at the bottom of my post!

Here's how I was inspired:

I decided the Happiness Digital Stamp Set from Graciellie was perfect!  I brew a jar full of tea at a time and I love to add fruit... usually not watermelon but I'm not against it!  I pour myself a large cup in the morning after coffee and I just add water to it all day so I get a nice slow infusion.  

This digital set came with that beautiful Magnolia background!  And one of my favorite things about digital stamps is that they are so easy to foil.  And since this is a month of foil fun for me, I decided I'd do just that!  I used some yummy Pink Melon Deco Foil which was perfect really!

So enjoy the day!  Wishing you lots of smiles and Happy Vibes!

Be sure to give everyone a visit for more inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

What A Guy-Ellen Hutson and Stamps of Life Mash Up

Hello!  I've got a fun one today using a couple sets I picked up recently and I'm mixing it up with that Leading Gentleman stamp (psst... it's on sale for $7.99!!) and dies (these are on sale too for only $4.99!!!) from Ellen Hutson and the BBQ2 Stamp and dies from the Stamps of Life (I did trim them down a bit after I die cut the so that the border would be closer to the same width for all of the images)!

I love these sets together!  I also borrowed some Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline dies from my mom since we were crafting together and I wasn't planning on putting a full card together... but I do love these fun dies!

I'm playing along with this week's Double Trouble Challenge Blog challenge which is Something, Anything and Everything!  There's a special Yo-Yo twist... just get inspiration from a Yo Yo Trick and I found one named Back Burner!  If you'd like you can check it out here!

I'm also playing along at Cupcake Inspirations Masculine Challenge!

And here are the colors I used for those that want them...

Thanks for stopping again!  Hope you like this one!  Come again soon!

 

Miss Ink Stamps - You Matter!

Welcome back!  I've got a fun one for you today and in June I'm going to be playing with foil and my Minc this month!  You know I've been loving my Gel Press and having a lot of fun with it and I wondered about using it with toner ink and I caught a quick video on IG that made me decide to give it a go!  If you'd like to check out the video, you can find it here!

I used some Distress Oxides with my gel plate to create a circular background and used the floral wave for some movement and then I applied some Toner Ink through the Vintage Keyhole stencil and ran it through my Mink with some Glass Slipper Deco Foil.  It's how I imagine the inside of this guy's brain might look at all times...lol... and it carries the key to the universe... or at least some mad knowledge anyway...lol!

I love the fun images and sentiments on this It's All Relative stamp set!

I'm going to be sharing this technique on the Miss Ink blog next week so stay tuned for more details!

Don't you love that Deco Foil??  I love how it looks kind of matte at some angles and so shiny at others.

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you come back again soon!
