Happy Saturday everyone! I’m excited to announce that it’s release day for Miss Ink Stamps! Today I have 2 cards to share with you using new layered stencil sets! Two of my favorite fandoms all year long but especially this time of year!

These cards were really fun to whip up and have lots of variety in changing the scenes they create too! It’s so cool!

First, we’ve got the Showtime stencil set and I’ve used the awesome gravestone and sentiment add on today. But you can change that section of the images out for others included in the same stencil set!

Next, we have Halloween hill and it’s amazing too! My favorite character trio are hanging out on the hill right now but this set also comes with lots of options to swap out, plus a border of jack o lantern faces and sentiments to choose from too!

Be sure to check the whole release out, as you’ve see the last few days there are lots of different themes covered this time and it’s all really fun!

Welcome everyone! I’m back with another sneak peek of an upcoming set in the Miss Ink Stamps release that happens tomorrow! Today it’s a fun and silly shaker card that’s out of this world!

This new set is called Hello From Mars and it’s really fun! I paired it with the Rabbit Hole and Sparkles stencil for an outer galactic background.

I added the images to the back side of the Oh Happy Day frame and then backed that with acetate and foam strips to create a shaker well. I sprinkled lots of Champagne Stardust glitter and sealed it up on the stenciled background panel.

Then I stamped a couple of sentiments on a banner and cut it apart so I could use each half coming out of the frame like the images are.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the alien eyes and parts of the phone and radio, along with stardust Stickles to the alien antennae too.

Hello everyone! I’m here today with a little sneak peek of a set coming in the new release from Miss Ink Stamps on Saturday! It’s been a while and this release is definitely making up for it. It’s so full of amazing things!

Today I have a card featuring the new set – Dark Arts! These are just a few of the images in this large set. I had a blast creating this card. When you jiggle it all the pixies, including the cage, float around.

I did this by simply adding circle foam squares to the back of the images, die cutting small holes (bigger than the foam circles) in the background panel, pushing the foam on the image through the hold and attaching a larger circle on the back. Then I lined the back of the panel with foam tape, keeping it away from the moving parts and adhered it to the card front.

Stay tuned on my Instagram later this afternoon for a little slo-mo video of it in action. It’s super fun!

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m just back from camping, happy to be home but boy do I love when we’re out there relaxing and having fun! And today I’m back with some magical inspiration from Miss Ink Stamps.

It’s been a minute since I pulled out any of the amazing Magical series from Miss Ink so I went digging and was immediately drawn to the So Charming set. Professor Flitwick is a favorite and I adore these floating books so I just went with it.

After coloring and die cutting my images, I set them aside to ink up some stencils and create a little scene for them to be. I used the Bricks and Perspective Floor stencils with some gray and brown inks. I stamped my sentiment and then splattered the background a little for added interest.

For all the layers, I used the EIEIO Frames dies. On the card base, I drug my brown ink pad directly on the paper for a textured look. Then ink blended forest moss and rustic wilderness distress oxide inks and splattered it with water. The scallop panel is glued to the card base and the scene panel is popped up, along with all of the images.

For finishing touches I just added glossy accents to the Professor’s glasses and bits of the books.

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m popping in again today with some Miss Ink Stamps inspiration featuring a fun stencil set that is great for all the time and our beloved PSL time of year that’s right around the corner!

I started by inking the cup layer of the stencils with light gray since I chose white cardstock for my background. Next, I lined up the layer with the lids and sleeves. I inked the lids black using a post-it note to mask the sleeves. Then I blended my cool tone ombre using Lawn Fawn inks – peacock, forget me not, juice box and ballet slippers.

The fun part of this stencil set is the detail layer for the mug sleeves – you can choose this one with beans and hearts or an alternate with hearts and pumpkins for fall time! Today I spread texture paste through it for some dimension and let the panel dry. Next I splattered the panel with silver watercolor.

Once that was dry, I tore along one edge and added foam tape to the back. I die cut the smallest tag and heat embossed my sentiment from Big Mugs, then cut a second tag for some color interest. After gluing them together, I threaded them on ribbon and tied it on the left edge.

I added a little washi tape to the edge of my card base and popped the panel in place. For finishing touches I just added a pink clay heart to the sentiment tag, which I specifically left room for.

Happy 4th of July friends! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and celebrate however makes your heart happy! We’ll be BBQing and playing in the pool if you need us!

But first, I wanted to share a sweet gift tag I watercolored the other night for a gift I’ll be giving our hosts later today.

I die cut the largest tag from Bristol Smooth Cardstock and stamped my images from Patriotic Bear and Bunny with VersaFine ink. This way I could watercolor with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

After the watercolor dried, I added white gel pen to the stars because I was unsuccessful keeping my blue ink out of them. I also added black glaze pen to the critter eyes and noses. I cut and glued a hole reinforcer in place and threaded my different ribbons through the hole, tying them with baker’s twine.

Then at the last minute, I finished it off with some stardust Stickles on each of the stars for a little sparkle.

Hi friends! I’m back with another fun card using one of the recently release stencil sets from Miss Ink Stamps. This Little Piggy is beyond adorable and was so fun to ink up. After I created this one, I also realized how perfect they would be for creating sets of cards to have in your stash or maybe as a gift for someone too.

After inking the stencil layers, I took my teal blending brush and went around the “sky” area for a light tint to take away the stark white. I also did the same with my green blending brush along the bottom. Then I die cut the panel with the scalloped rectangle in the EIEIO Frames die set.

I stamped a sentiment in the upper right open area from Punny Farm Pigs. Isn’t it perfect!?! I adore these sentiments!

Next, I cut a piece of purple cardstock and glued it to a white card base before popping the stenciled panel up with foam tape.

It just takes a fairly simple card a step up and makes it feel more put together. But you all know I love my foam tape. Layers on layers make me happy.

If you haven’t yet, stop by the Miss Ink Stamps shop and check out the new line of layered stencil sets. There are lots of different kinds available.

Hey friends! Miss Ink Stamps has a new release tomorrow of a layering stencils. These are the most detailed and incredible stencils ever! Today I’m sneaking a peek of the Highland Cow stencil set. It’s laid out perfectly to add different colors for all of the elements easily without tons of masking.

After stenciling my sweet little scene, I turned it into a framed shaker card with so many extra sunflowers everywhere! Isn’t it adorable!

My frame comes from the Woodgrain Frame die set. After cutting it from kraft cardstock I inked it up with brown dye ink for depth and interest. Then I stamped my sentiment on the upper left using one from the Highland Cows stamp set. The puns in this are priceless.

My shaker bits consist of Twiddler’s Nook Sunflower Meadow clay embellishments and Pixie Dust micro beads to help things move around.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more inspiration and the release to be live in the Miss Ink Stamps shop!

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!
