Kinda Eclectic...Take 2

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Hope your week is going well!  We have a new sketch for you at Nacho Average Challenges starting today! Hope you create with us as we can't wait to see how the sketch inspires you!

Here is how the sketch inspired me:

This my second creation with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set! I think I may be using it all week to create! And the other new InColor, Lost Lagoon, I like it! What about you, any new stamps set you are having fun creating with?

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time. 

Retro...Kinda Eclectic

Hello Stampers! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Happy Monday to you all.

I haven't played along with the designers at Retro Sketches in awhile and this week they have an awesome sketch that really inspired me. Check them out if you have a chance!

I inked up a new stamp for my creation today, Kinda Eclectic. This stamp set is going to be one of my new favorites from the new catalog. Already thinking of ways I can use it. And I'm loving the new InColors! Especially Blackberry Bliss! What about you, have you used any of the new InColors? If so, which one is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow for another fun Nacho Average Challenge and a new creation featuring this stamp set! Until next time.

Another Something for Baby...

Good morning Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  It's been a hot week in Phoenix!  Staying indoors spending time creating is the how I'm having fun this week.

This past Monday night we had our group meeting with Rhonda Morgan and her INKin' All Night group.  It was a small gathering but it is always fun! The theme for our swap cards was Babies and Wedding and I chose to make another baby card.  I hope you're not getting tired of seeing baby cards with the Something for Baby stamp set and the coordinating framelits! This is such a fun bundle! I'm thinking of hosting a class with this bundle, so I'll keep you posted on it.

I did follow the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments although I did not link up in time. I really like this sketch and will be using it to create other cards. Hopefully next time I play along with them I'll link up my card in time! 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time my friends!

More Nacho Baby!

Hello Stampers! It's Tuesday, so that means it's another Nacho Average Challenge! My fellow Nachos and I have created a variety of projects with our color challenge. We hope it will inspire you to create with us!

I wanted to create something other than a card this week, so I decorated one of our mini muslin bag. I got a bit of halo effect when I stamped the flower onto the bag, but it has that handmade look, no?

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time!

Sunday Stamps...Twins!

Happy Sunday Stampers! Happy Sunday to you! Ah...the first Sunday of June! Can't believe it! The new Stampin' Catalog officially starts tomorrow!  Can't wait!

We have a fun new Sunday Stamps color challenge for you starting today!  Remember, our challenge runs for two weeks!  This color challenge stumped me for awhile but after seeing the creations from my fellow Sunday Stamp designers, I was inspired!  I hope it will inspire you as well.

Here is how I how I used our colors for today's card:

I've been having so much fun using this brand new stamp set, Something for Baby and the coordinating framelits, Baby's First. Now, I personally don't know anyone who is having twins, but I thought the sentiment was perfect for my card. The base of my card is Bermuda Bay layered with Sahara Sand. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time!

Di's Country INKers June Blog Hop!

Hello Stampers! Welcome to the June edition of Di's Country INKers blog hop! We are super excited to share with you our creations featuring NEW items from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Catalog, which will officially go live tomorrow afternoon!  It's going to be a fun catalog year with all the new items!

It seems these days a popular thing to do, if you're expecting a baby is to have "gender reveal" parties. In other words, letting everyone know at once what the sex of your baby is.  So I was inspired to create a "gender reveal" card. Everything on my card is either new or current (being carried over into the new catalog) so if you would like to recreate this card, you can! 

This is the front of my card, the base is Baked Brown Sugar layered with Pistachio Pudding and new DSP called Lullaby! 

 And when you open it up, here is the surprise!

I decorated all the panels on the inside of my card with a more girly theme:

I learned how to create this Unique Gatefold card by watching a video from Dee Slater. Lots of possibilities with this style of card! Love the way it came out!

Up next is the super talented Crystal!  She always amazes me! Isn't her project awesome!
