Happy Thursday everyone! It’s time for more Miss Ink Stamps inspiration and I’m still having fun with the most recent additions to the Alice Collection. This week I finally played with the Storybook Alice set.

I’m obsessed with the fabulous open book image but also love the new Hatter and other characters too!

I started by stamping and coloring all of my images with copic markers. Then, used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I ink blended the Starburst stencil on a piece of white cardstock using light purple ink, removed the stencil and went over the panel again with the same color to soften the bright white. Then I trimmed that panel down to 5.5×3.5 inches.

After deciding on the arrangement of my images, I glued the characters to the book with liquid glue and I also decided to add faint keyholes to the background with the Vintage Keyhole stencil. Now for assembly.

I added a strip of black cardstock to the bottom of my card front, then a strip of glittery washi tape for interest. Then I popped the background panel up with foam tape and added the images the same way. Last, I added the sentiment strip with foam strips.

For finishing touches I added scattering of dots of glue all over the background and sprinkles Champagne Stardust embellishments on them. My thought on this was the magic coming from an open book. I love how it turned out!

Hello everyone. I’m popping in with a bit of Alice inspiration from Miss Ink Stamps. I’m currently decorating my office at work and one corner is dedicated to Alice so I couldn’t help but pull this collection out and play a bit. It definitely made my heart happy.

I started out the top layer, ink blending distress oxides in stormy sky, faded jeans and blueprint sketch. I spritzed it with water, blotted it dry and when the panel was completely dried I cut one of the Nested Keyhole dies from the center. Now I have my window and can position my background images the way I want them.

So I didn’t run the risk of smearing ink, I blended distress oxide ink from rustic wilderness to forest moss, into crackling campfire and topped it off with mustard seed. Then I used my keyhole panel as a guide and stamped images from Smokin’ Caterpillars and Wildflower. I lined the keyhole panel with foam tape and adhered it to the background panel.

Next, I stamped an Alice from Alice’s Adventures and colored her with copic markers before using the coordinating die to cut her out. I adhered her with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares so she lays flat. Then I stamped a sentiment from the same set and cut it out by hand before adhering it with foam squares as well.

For finishing touches I added some glossy accents to Alice on her shoes, dress, headband and collar.

I do love how this turned out! I think I’ll have to create a piece or two for my office soon.

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m popping in with a super quick and fun Miss Ink Stamps card today. It uses all things bananas, which I love!!!

I started by ink blending my background panel with the Bananas stencil. After going over the whole thing with yellow ink, fading from corner to corner, I used a detail blending brush to add brown and green ends to each banana. It’s amazing what this little detail does for the background. I love it!

Then I stamped and colored images from Go Bananas and used my scan-n-cut to cut them out. With the images as my spacing guide, I stamped the sentiment in the bottom right corner. Then I popped my images up with foam squares and strips.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the monkey eyes and noses, let it dry and added a white highlight back in. Then I glued a scattering of flat sequins across the design for some interest and shine.

Quick and easy card but it’s so darn cute!!!

How cute is this capybara craze that’s going on? You know me…another critter? Add it on the pile! I love them all!

Hey friends! I’m popping in with another card featuring the Miss Ink Stamps March release. Today it’s Oh Capy Day in a little shaker scene.

I started by stamping and coloring the sweet images with copic markers. Then I cut them out, along with a sentiment strip to go with them. When playing with my arrangement I thought they would be cute around the big “hi” from the Hi Swirl Frame die set.

I did this a little backwards because of poor planning but it really worked out pretty cool. I cut the shadow for “hi” from the front of a 4×5.25 inch white panel, then cut the letters from the shadow that I cut out. Almost no waste this way. Then I lined the window with acetate and adhered my letters on the window. This is when I decided to add grass and sky so I just ink blended over the panel and wiped the acetate off with a clean rag when I was done. Worked beautifully.

I added foam tape the back of the panel and sealed in some dazzle butterflies for my shaker bits. I tied twine around the top of the card and popped all my images and sentiment strip up with foam squares.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to capy eyes, glossy accents to noses and stardust stickles to butterfly wings. Isn’t this so fun?!? I think so. It’s a really versatile card too if you needed something for your stash for later on.

Welcome everyone! It’s release day for Miss Ink Stamps and we’re all celebrating with the new, fun goodies! Today I have a card for you sharing a new addition to the Magical series called Letters. It’s a fabulous addition and was so fun to create a scene with.

I colored everything with copic markers and used my scan-n-cut to cut it all out because we didn’t get dies in time. Then I used a banner die to cut out my sentiment and set it all aside to create my living room scene.

I took and A2 white panel and used my scoring board to create a baseboard. Then I turned the panel the other way and scored from the top of the baseboard up to create a wainscoting look along the wall. I used a few post-it notes to mask things off and ink blended the baseboard and floor.

I used liquid glue to adhere all of my images and sentiment banner, with the exception of Harry. He is popped up on foam squares. Last of all, I came in with glossy accents on all the letter seals and Harry’s glasses.

I hope you’ll take a moment to check out the Miss Ink Stamps store and see all the wonderful new products in today’s release.

Happy Thursday everyone! I’ve got a little peek and what’s coming from Miss Ink Stamps on Saturday. Another super fun and cute one you’re sure to love! Today I’m sharing Bear and Bunny World. I love these two together. They’re so sweet!

I stamped and colored the main image with my copic markers. Instead of using the leaf images in the set, I pulled out the Oh Happy Day dies and went to down cutting florals and leaves, then used liquid glue to adhere them all together.

Next, I used two more dies from Oh Happy Day to cut a stitched rectangle and a white scalloped frame. I ink blended a light yellow halo coming from the center and then glued the frame in place with liquid glue. I popped Bear and Bunny up with foam squares and added the florals and leaves with a combo of foam squares and liquid glue as well.

I cut the sentiment out with a banner and popped it up under the florals with foam strips. Then I had a few tiny flowers left and I couldn’t let them go to waste so I tried them up in the corner and loved it so I glued those down too.

The whole thing is popped up on a white card base with foam tape and the flower centers all got a good dose of stardust Stickles for some sparkle. Then I came in with black glaze pen on bear and bunny’s eyes and noses.

Head to the Miss Ink Stamps IG account for a listing of who else is sneak peaking today, then head to the shop on Saturday to snag your favorites!

Hahaha! I’m still rolling over the sentiments in this new Stuck On You stamp set. It’s got my favorite little hedgie, plus a few fabulous cacti that work great with her but also on their own or setting a scene for something else.

After stamping and coloring the images, I used the scan-n-cut to cut them all out. I die cut two tags, stamping my sentiment on the white one and adhered the images with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares. I glued the tags together, offset and then went ahead and added a hole reinforcer before threading jute twine through the hole.

I had a really hard time choosing a stencil for my background but eventually landed on the Fancy Shells stencil with a combination of distress oxide inks from milled lavender to picked raspberry, down to seedless preserves. I removed the stencil and lightly went over the whole panel with the same colors again. Next, I added a strip of washi tape to the edge of my card base and then popped the stenciled panel up with foam tape.

Then I added the tags to that with foam tape as well. For finishing touches I went over the hedgie’s eyes with black glaze pen and glossy accents to the flowers of the cacti.

Seriously, this sentiment cracks me up every single time I read it. It will never get old and I will probably make a billion cards with it.

Happy Saturday friends! It’s release day for Miss Ink Stamps, yay!!! I’m delighted to share my fabulously sarcastic birthday card with you featuring the new Potions Class stamp set.

I started by stamping and coloring lots of images from the new Potions Class stamp set, then cut them all out. For my background panel, I inked up parts of the Magical Newspaper stamp and randomly pressed it on a piece of gray cardstock. This is a big 6×6 stamp and I didn’t use my MISTI or a block with it because I wanted the imperfections. I also used gray ink on gray cardstock so it wasn’t bold and distracting but gave interest and texture in the background.

Next, I drug the gray ink pad across the panel in a few spots and also used a blending brush to add more dark spots here and there. With whatever ink was left on my brush, I went over the die cut potions images so they weren’t stark white on the edges. I glued the background panel to a card base and then the shelves and bottles went on next.

I added the professor image with foam squares and then tied my sentiment tag around the top of the card. The heat embossing was bright white and I didn’t like that so I went over it with my blending brush to try and dirty it up too. It seemed to work, although I don’t know if it will rub off in the envelope.

Head to the Miss Ink Stamps shop to check out the whole release for today. There’s magic and muggle products available, something for everyone.

Hey friends! It’s the start of sneak peeks for the Miss Ink Stamps release which is this Saturday! Today I have a silly and fun card featuring On a Roll. It makes me giggle because we have cats and know how real it can be.

This was a simple card to pull together and was a lot of fun to create. I started by coloring the image and using the scan-n-cut to cut it out. Then I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment, cutting it out with a banner die.

I used the Big Paw Prints stencil on a piece of green cardstock with darker green ink. Then I splattered the panel with a different, darker green and also white paint. After it dried I trimmed the panel down to 4×5.25 inches and popped it up on a white card base.

I added the image and sentiment strip with foam squares as well. Then I finished things off with black glaze pen on the kitty’s eye and glossy accents on his nose and the holder for the roll of toilet paper.

Check out the rest of the design team today and tomorrow for sneaks of other sets that are coming and be ready for the big day on Saturday. I’ll be back then with another card for release day.
