The last time we were all together was Stamp Camp 2020 so there was much to catch up on. Over the weekend we made 5… Read More: Creative Inkers Stamp Camp 2021 »
Hi there I have another version of the Double Easel Card similar to the one I shared here. For that card I started with the base and then built the ‘easel fold’ and attached it to the base. Today’s card starts the other way – I built the ‘easel fold’ then attached a piece of… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Double Easel Card – Country Home »
Hi there What picture do you get when you read the title of today’s post? Daubers doing Rock ‘n’ Roll moves in the craft room? Sorry to disappoint you but it’s not that exciting 🙂 The Rock ‘n’ Roll technique allows you to get two different colours onto the one stamp so that when you… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Rock ‘n’ Roll with Daubers »
Hi there After some ‘technical issues’ I’ve finally managed to get here. Today’s technique uses our Stampin’ Write Markers to ‘ink’ up stamps. These markers are water based compared to the Stampin’ Blends which are alcohol based. Markers are great to use when you have an image that requires multiple colours and is too hard… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Direct to Rubber with Stampin’ Write Markers »
Hi there It’s ages since I participated in a challenge – colour or sketch – and this weekend I’ve created cards for two different colour challenges. My first card is for the Colour INKspiration challenge. I needed two boy (15 year olds) cards so this combo was perfect. I chose Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green,… Read More: Colour INKspiration Challenge – CI#91 »

Hi there Back in November when we had our OnStage event the Best Dressed Suite was showcased but it didn’t appeal to me so I skipped past this suite. Fast forward to February and our Creative Inkers Stamp Camp. This suite was used for one of our projects and by then end of the weekend… Read More: Dressed To Impress – Shoes, Lipstick – Ready to Go »
Hi there Here’s a quick fun card I created that uses three products from the Tropical Oasis Suite – page 38-40 of the Mini Catalogue. I love the texture created by the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder and to make it pop even more lightly apply some Crumb Cake ink. There are two ways to… Read More: In The Tropics Card »
Hi there I’m sure you’ve all heard the term CASEing a card – Copy And Share Everything. Well today’s projects are a CASE based on the card below from a US demo – Julie Davison. I really liked this card but I didn’t have any of the products she’d used so I checked out my… Read More: CASEing – Copy And Share Everything »
Hi there Here in New Zealand we have one more week in Alert Level 4 then move to Alert Level 3. There’s not much difference between levels but it will allow for online shopping so hopefully that means we can place crafting orders again – will keep you posted on that. Today’s post uses one… Read More: The Gangs All Meer – Farewell Card »
Hi there One of the downsides of being in lockdown and working from home is that the days of the week don’t seem to mean anything anymore. Instead of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc they’ve now become yesterday, today and tomorrow 🙂 Today’s post features some off cuts I had from the Country Club DSP –… Read More: Well Dressed Country Club »

I find colouring very relaxing and a great way to unwind – I think we all need a bit of that at the moment. I hope these cards will brighten your day. Today’s share uses a… Read More: Hello Accented Blooms »
