More SUINK Cards

Good Morning & TGIF!!! I have two Storage Units, Ink & More creations to share with you today.

First, a card I made for CAS19 Sketch on SCS. I just loved Natasha's simple layout. The fish images and sentiment are from the Ocean Commotion set. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them in with Copic Markers, and added Crystal Stickles to the fish's lips. I used Prism Vibrant Teal and Prism Baby Pink Medium cardstock to match the Copic colors.

My next card is one that I made back in May and am just getting around to posting. I know; BAD BLOGGER...LOL!!! I used the It's My Party set and Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Sketch #70 for my layout. The cardstock, patterned paper, and ribbon are from the Birthday Girl Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the girl image, then masked her off and stamped the balloons. I colored the images in with Prismacolor Markers and paper pierced a couple of the balloons. I also added some dots to her bow and dress with a white gel pen.

Tomorrow morning I am heading up to Denise's house (owner of Storage Units, Ink & More) for a design team get together this weekend. I am really excited to meet Denise in person and I'm looking forward to stamping my little heart out. I'm sure I will have tons of photos to share with you next week.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend.

SUINKWWC46 - Get In Shape!

Good Evening! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I'm sorry I'm late with my WWC post today. I've been home all day taking care of my five year old who's been sick since last night....:( It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week's challenge is to make a card with a unique shape. Try to make something out of the ordinary; not a circle or top note die card. How about a ship, baby bottle, or whatever; just not square, rectangle, or even round. 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 SUINKWWC46.

For my challenge card this week I decided to make a onesie card. Thank you to Lauren Meader for her AWESOME tutorial on how to make these adorable cards. You can check it out HERE. The adorable fish image is from the Ocean Commotion set by Storage Units, Ink & More. The cardstock colors are Prism Intense Teal and Prism Classic Red and the patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Enchanting Collection. I colored the image in with Copic Markers and added Crystal Stickles to the fish's lips. Then, I pierced each scallop and then traced around them with a white gel pen and added silver rhinestones to look like snaps.

You can check out more challenge cards from the other design team members on the SUINK Blog. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL evening!

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week's challenge is to celebrate the men/boys in our lives. Father’s Day is close, but that isn't the only time we need to celebrate the boys.

For my card this week I used the Storage Units, Ink & More set; Thinking of Father. I stamped the tie image three times with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Prismacolor Markers.

Storage Units, Ink & More BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Storage Units, Ink & More
June BLOG HOP!

All you have to do to be eligible to win the stamps is to hop along with us and leave a comment on each designer's blog along the way. You will hop through 9 designer's blogs (starting here with me) that will be showcasing the new sets and then finish off at the SUINK blog to leave your final comment telling us which stamp set is your favorite. That's it and the whole sha-BANG can be yours.

So, are you ready for the fun? Today I am peeking one of the newest releases, called YOU'RE A HOOT. I literally squealed when I saw this set for the first time. This set is SUPER adorable. There are different owl images, a tree branch, bird houses, and a variety of sentiments for different occasions. I stamped the owl and branch in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copic Markers. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added Crystal Stickles to parts of the owl. The "You're A Hoot" sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and punched out with my 1-3/8 circle punch. I used Prism cardstock and the patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye. To finish off my card, I added some matching buttons (which are available HERE at Storage Units, Ink & More) and a small piece of polka dot grosgrain ribbon.

Don't forget to leave a comment on each design team member's blog and the SUINK Blog in order to qualify to win all 5 new releases this month.
