SUINK Sneak Peek - You're Some Bunny Special

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! It's my turn today to give you a SNEAK PEEK at one of the newest sets being released by Storage Units, Ink & More tomorrow, March 1st. For my card today, I used the YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL set. The other set being released tomorrow is called LET'S PLAY and they are both absolutely ADORABLE.

I started by stamping the basket in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then, I stamped each of the eggs inside the basket, masking the front two before I stamped the back one. I colored the images in with a combination of Prismacolor and Copic Markers and covered the bow with StarDust Stickles. The cardstock colors are So Saffron, Prism Baby Pink Medium, and Bazzill Parakeet. The patterned paper is called Spring Fling from the Imaginisce For Peeps Sake Collection and the ribbon is from May Arts.


Colleen and Carolina are also sharing their sneak peeks today. So, head on over to their blogs to see what they have in store for you. And, don't forget to check out the Storage Units, Ink & More Blog for all of the SNEAK PEEKS that have been posted this week. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Sweet Stems

Good Morning! I can't believe it's already Thursday; not that I'm complaining...LOL! Today's card uses all Stampin' UP! products. If you are follower of my blog, then you know that I put myself on a "stamping spending freeze" a while back. Well, I cracked...LOL!!! I just had to have this Sweet Stems set and matching designer paper from the new catty. I colored the image in with SU! ink and a blender pen and the Cameo Coral layer was embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

SUINKWWC29 & Sneak Peeks

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's Wednesday, which means it time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week we are going green. No, not the color green; the environmental type of green. Use something you would normally throw away on your card. So, do you want to play along? If so, check out THIS post for more information. If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC29.

For my challenge card this week, I used my SUINK set, GOIN' TO THE CHAPEL. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copic Markers. I added StarDust Stickles to the hearts and used my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen to add sparkle to the cake. The cardstock colors are Choice Snow White, Prism Classic Red, and Basic Black and I picked up the patterned paper from my LSS a while back. Mary Jo always has the best challenges for the SUINK DT and this week was no exception. I struggled to come up with something to use on my card that I would normally throw out. Then, it hit me. While drinking a pop (I don't know if it's me or a Midwest thing, but I call it pop, not soda) over the weekend, I looked at the pop can tab and thought "Hey, I can use that as a ribbon slide...LOL". So, I slid my ribbon through the tab and covered it with StarDust Stickles, so it didn't look so dull.


Today is also the start of SNEAK PEEKS for the two newest releases from Storage Units, Ink & More. The two new sets are called YOU'RE SOME BUNNY SPECIAL and LET'S PLAY and they will be available starting March 1st. The sneak peek schedule is as follows:

The Bride & The Irish Dancer

Good Afternoon! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Since I didn't post much last week, I have two cards to share with you today...LOL! Both cards use the two newest releases from Storage Units, Ink & More.

My first card uses the SUINK set; GOIN' TO THE CHAPEL and I made it for LSC207. This was the perfect challenge for this image. I wanted to keep the card simple, so the focus would be on the details in her dress. Unfortunately, they did not show up very well in the photo. I colored in the image in with Copic Markers and added Starfire Glitter to her dress. Trust me when I tell you that it is SUPER sparkly IRL.

My second card using the SUINK set; BLARNEY STONE and I made it for LSC208. This card was inspired by my fellow SUINK design team member; Tori. I love the patterned paper, paired with the orange and green in THIS card. I colored the image in with Copic Markers and used my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen to add some sparkle to her crown. I used Pumpkin Pie cardstock, Core'dinations cardstock, and patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie Collection. The Pumpkin Pie cardstock was punched with my Fiskar's Threading Water Punch and the ribbon is May Arts.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope everyone has a GREAT day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good Evening and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. I thought today would be perfect day to post one last Valentine's project. This is the other Target mailbox that I altered. I filled them with a bunch of goodies and my hubby and I gave them to our girls this afternoon. We went a little overboard on stuff for them, so I put whatever didn't fit in the mailbox in a cute little V-Day bag. I pulled out both of my Valentine's sets from Storage Units, Ink & More; SWEET THINGS and WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE. I stamped the image on Choice Snow White cardstock and colored it in with Copic Markers and the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink. The cardstock is Bazzill Precious and the patterned paper is from the Target $1 Spot. To finish it off, I added some yummy ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Fun-Frilled DT & School Valentine's

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! I can't believe how fast this week is flying by; YAY!!! I have a couple of things to share with you today. First, my friend Michelle has started a new website. It is called FUN-FRILLED and I'm one of the inaugural Design Team Members. Each week there will be a new theme and each day a different designer will post a card or project with their interpretation of that week's theme. There are seven of us on the design team; one for each day of the week. I have linked all of these talented ladies on my side bar, if you would like to head on over and check out their blogs. My day of the week is going to be Friday. So, each Friday I will have a card or project posted on the Fun-Frilled website to go along with that week's theme. Posts will start on Monday, February 16th.

I made these Valentine's for my oldest Daughter to give out to her friends at school tomorrow. I used two different cuppies from the SASI; Love is Sweet set. The cardstock and ribbon are from the Valentine Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions. I colored the images in with Copic Markers and used a silver pen for the bow on the cupid cuppie and on the pencil of the other cuppie. I added StarDust Stickles to the images and a Red Candy Dot to each of the cuppie's cherries. The three red hearts are also from the Love is Sweet set and I stamped them using Real Red ink. The size of the Valentine's are 3 1/4 x 3 1/4.

The Valentine's just weren't complete without a little candy...LOL! So, I used my craft knife to cut a couple of slits in the cardstock and added a Jolly Ranger heart shaped sucker to each of them.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a GREAT day!

SUINKWWC27 - Monochromatic Card

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's Wednesday, which means it time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week's challenge is to make a Monochromatic Card. It doesn't matter what color you use, as long as it's only one. You can add black or white if needed. So, do you want to play along? If so, check out THIS post for more information. If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC27.

For this week's challenge, I used my SUINK set; BLARNEY STONE. Since I chose to use the color green, this beer image was perfect. It's been years since I've had a green beer...LOL! I used SC214 from last week for my layout. The cardstock colors are Glorious Green and Green Galore and I used some shamrock patterned paper I had in my stash. I colored the image in with a Prismacolor Marker and added some Starfire Glitter. The polka dot shamrocks and the sentiment are stamped are stamped in Green Galore ink and I added some StarDust Stickles to the shamrock in the sentiment. I had the shamrock ribbon from a swap I was in a while back and thought it went perfect with the card. Don't forget to head on over to the Storage Units, Ink & More Blog to see more monochromatic cards from the other design team members. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

TECC53 - Goin' To The Chapel

Good Morning and a BIG TGIF to all of you!!! My card today uses one of the newest releases from Storage Units, Ink & More called GOIN' TO THE CHAPEL and I used Taylor's sketch from last Friday (I know, I'm a little late...LOL). I used some wedding patterned paper I had in my stash (I'm sorry; I don't remember who makes it) and my Core'dinations Cardstock; which is also available at Storage Units, Ink & More. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored parts of them in with a light blue Prismacolor Marker. Then, I used my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen to trace the swirls on the images and color in the rest of the bell; all of which is really hard to see my photo...:( I popped the image up with dimensionals and added some rhinestones and sheer silver ribbon to finish it off. This card can be used as a wedding or anniversary card; depending on what sentiment you stamp on the inside. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend!

My Timeless Templates - All Boxed Up

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! I have a My Timeless Templates project to share with you today. A while back, I purchased the All Boxed Up template from PAPERTREYink. Then, I saw THIS post of Lauren's and couldn't WAIT to try out her One Sheet Wonder. Her One Sheet Wonder allows you to make four different cards; two of each design. I knew exactly what piece of patterned paper I wanted to use too. The patterned paper is called Ava-Aqua Floral and is from the Making Memories Noteworthy Collection. Isn't it pretty? And, it matches the Blush Red Dark & Baby Pink Medium Prism cardstock perfectly. The dark red satin ribbon is from Taylored Expressions and the Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon is from Stampin' UP!. I used the "L" from my JustRite Curlz Kit and stamped it in Close to Cocoa and Ruby Red ink. Now for the pics:

This is the outside of the box

The Baby Pink Medium cardstock is embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

There are also eight matching envelopes in the set. I stamped all of the envelope flaps with an "L" using Ruby Red ink.
