CAS Stitched Bird 4 x 4 set of Cards

31/10/16

Hello everyone!  Heidi, here today and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) set of birthday cards to share with you.   I made a set of 4 x 4 birthday cards using the 2276E Stitched Bird and 10101D Happy Birthday My Friend stamps.  I used VersaMark ink to stamp the images and then I added gold embossing powder.  I used a heat tool to heat set and melt the powders.   Then I added some NUVO crystal drops for embellishments.  I layered the stamped panel on top of a piece of gold mirror cardstock and then added that to a 4 x 4 white card base.   This is a great card set to have on hand for when you need a quick birthday card or it would be perfect for gift giving.   I hope you enjoyed this CAS card share.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Ice Skate Christmas

Oct 26, 2016

Hello, Pink Ink Fans -- Sharon here with you today!  I have a wintery framed  Christmas art piece to share with you, using Pink Ink's beautiful Pair of Ice Skates and Merry Christmas Oval images:  I started by stamping the images onto a white Inchie Arts 4-inch Art Square with  Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I colored the images with the Copic markers,  Lavender and Sepia Multiliners, and Clear and Silver Atyou Spica Glitter pens  shown below: To build up the dimension of the skates, I colored and cut out another skate and popped it up on foam tape over the front original skate: I love the dimension this gives the piece! To finish the piece, I used an Essentials by Ellen Stitching Lines die to emboss faux scalloped stitches into the Art Square along the top and bottom. Then rows of clear gemstones were added below and above the stitching. The piece was placed into a 4-inch white frame, to display during the holidays. Thanks so much for joining me today!

Stitched Bird

10/10/16

Hello! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had some time to play in my craft room yesterday, so I made a card using  a pretty new Christmas stamp from Pink Ink Stamp Company called Stitched Bird. I stamped my design with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers. I cut the image out with a double stitched Circle die. I used some Christmas patterned paper that I had in my stash for the background. I scalloped the edge of the snowflake paper with a stitched scalloped die before gluing it over the red paper. I tied a piece of Baker's Twine around the card and added a few PPP marshmallow sequins to finish it up! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a happy week!

A Golden Felt Stocking!

06/10/2016

Hello Friends! Debbie Seyer here today to share with you my latest Pink Ink Stamps card. I have been on a mission to start my Christmas cards early this year. So I got out some of my patterned paper stash and some Pink Ink Stamps and had some fun! This card measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2".  I decided to stick with a gold metallic theme for the card so I got out my gold embossing powder and heat tool.  To start, I inked up the 6111K Felt Stocking stamp with some VersaMark embossing ink.  Then I sprinkled it with Nuvo  Classic Gold embossing powder.  This is my new favorite embossing powder because it is just so shiny!  I also stamped the 10136A Merry Christmas Oval sentiment and heat embossed it also. After I heat embossed the sentiment, I cut it out like a banner and tied some gold cording at one end to make it look a bit like a tag.  After putting everything together, I think it turned out really nice.  This would be an easy card to do assembly-line style.  I made 6 in less than 30 minutes!

Stitched Bird by Sharon Harnist

Hello Pink Ink fans -- Sharon Harnist here with you today!  Today I have a transitional card for you. "Transitional" meaning it still feels like summer but it's getting close to Fall and the holidays!  I've used one of the new stamps from Pink Ink's new holiday 2016 collection, but colored it in summery colors (which could be used any time of the year!). You can easily change the colors to reflect whatever season or holiday you would like! I stamped Pink Ink's adorable Stitched Bird with Memento Tuxedo Black ink  onto X-Press It Blending Card, and then colored it with these Copic markers:  BG53-45-57, Y32-35-38, RV52-63-55 and Clear, Pink, Lemon, and Turquoise  Atyou Spica Glitter Pens: Copic C0 was used to shadow underneath the bird.  Lockhart Stamp Company's "thanks a bunch" sentiment was added, then the images die cut with a stitched circle die. The image was popped up with foam tape over a bubble background I created. Full instructions for the background can be found HERE on my blog. Is it Fall yet in your part of the country?  Happy stamping! Pink Ink products used, available online through Ellen Hutson LLC: SUPPLIES:

Skating into the Holidays

31/08/2016

Hello Pink ink fans!  Have you checked out the new release?  You can find all of the fantastic new stamps on the Pink Ink website. For my card today, I used the versatile and wonderful stamp called Pair of Skates (6110) with the sentiment Heartfelt Holidays (10137)   The background was done with a few different stencils with Distress sprays and inks.  To mask the image so I could get messy without worrying about getting ink on to the stamped image, I used liquid frisket.   I colored up Pair of Skates with Copics and a touch of distress markers to fill in some of the smaller detailed areas.  I used picket fence stain and splatter the stain over top to get a subtle hint of white on the work. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!! Shelby

Stack O' Pumpkins

8/26/16

Hello everyone!  Heidi  Blankenship, here today and I have an Autumn card to share with you using the Stack O' Pumpkin stamp from Pink Ink Stamp Company.   The Stack O' Pumpkins is one of the new images from the  new holiday release from Pink Ink Stamp Company.  I used a piece of Strathmore mixed media paper and stamped the image using Jet Black Archival ink from Ranger.  Then I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pen.  To create the background I used a few different colors of Distress Inks and blended the colors. Then I stamped the image a second time on to a piece of scratch paper and fussy cut it to create a mask.  I placed the mask on top of the stamped image and then I took clean water and a paint brush and tapped the water onto the paper.  I let the water droplet sit for a few seconds and then used a paper towel to blot up the water droplets.  I repeated this process a few times and used a heat tool to speed out the drying time.  I wanted to add some shimmer to the background so I tapped my Wink of Stella pen onto the paper--just like when I added the water droplets and then I set the paper aside to dry. I trimmed the paper down and then I added black craft foam to the back.  I placed the watercolor piece on to a black A2 top folding card base.  To finish off the card I added some Crystal Reflections Sequins from Simon Says Stamp.  I hope you enjoyed today's card share.  I will have all of the supplies listed below.  Thanks for stopping by the Pink Ink Blog today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
