Nice Kitt-eh! Nice Pupp-eh!

I LOVE these cards!!! So pretty, so sweet, love the LO! I don't think I've mentioned yet, but most of the C is for Cat, and D is for Dog card LO's I've been showing lately come directly from The Idea Book and Catalogue, or different Stampin' Success Mags (a demo only SU! mag sent to inspire and teach us each month). It's so easy to take inspiration from these SU! publications and keep or change, color combos, DSP's, stamp sets etc, and make your own versions. Thanks Stampin' Up!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Whisper White Cs, Marina Mist CS, Perfect Plum CS, Real Red DSP and Classic Ink, Basic Black Classic Ink, D is for Dog, C is for Cat, Happy Greetings, Lace Ribbons Border Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Basic Pearls, Newsprint DSP (retired)

SURF DOGS 2011!!!

Hey there friends! On Sun Sept. 11, from 11-2, Artful*Inker Team mate, Diane, and I, will be at Bingemans Water Park for Surf Dogs 2011! The Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society is hosting a leash free day for the dogs in the water park. Come bring your pup for some water play, there are some different contests to enter, and many vendors to check out. Apparently there will be doggie and human snacks for purchase as well. Diane and I will have make and takes using the "D is for Dog", and "C is for Cat" stamp sets, and these stamps will be available for order that day. If you can't make it to Surf Dogs, but want a set, contact me prior to Sept 11, to get your order in!

So here's the teaser...I'm busy making sample cards to feature the stamp sets. The unfortunate thing is, my order containing the stamps won't arrive until NEXT Tues! Instead, I am busy making samples without using the actual sets!!! It's very fun, as I'm just getting more and more excited for the stamps to arrive to put the finishing touches on the cards. Come see us at Surf Dogs, as see if you can spot the above (completed! LOL!) cards!

And More Delicate Doilies!

Here's card number 2, inspired by Dawn McVey. I love this bright cheery card, which shows off the new Wisteria Wonder Classic Ink, the Delicate Doilies Stamp Set, and The Flirtacious Specialty DSP! What I don't like about it??? The glue line under the ribbon! I dyed the Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon with Daffodil Delight Classic Ink, and it wasn't dry when I wanted to adhere it. I thought that snail wouldn't hold it, so used the 2 way glue, assuming it would dry clear. Well. We all know what happens when one assumes.....

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Whisper White CS, Wisteria Wonder Classic Ink and Stampin' Write, Daffodil Delight Classic Ink and Stampin' Write, Color Spritzer Tool, Delicate doilies Stamp Set, Happy Greetings Stamp Set, Flirtacious Specialty DSP, Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Bliss Stamp Set (from Saleabration)

Stampinpalooza Swap Card

Hey All! This was the swap card I made for this past weekend. It was a fantastic time, I'm so grateful to Carloyn and Christyn and their families for planning and hosting this super fun event. I love being a guest at someone else's stamping event and create for the pure joy of it, without having to do all of the planning and thinking myself!!! LOL! (After I am done posting all of the Delicate Doily Cards, I will post the projects we made there. So bright and fun, I LOVE them!!!) The 2 photos differ above, in that the top one has the Delicate Doily Stamp embossed on Glossy White CS and the ink is painted on with the aqua painters, and the lower one is a close up of the actual card front I swapped, and has the stamp in Elegant Eggplant on Whisper White CS. Both feature the NOT YET RELEASED Delicate Doilies Stamp Set, the Flirtacious Specialty DSP and the Lace Ribbons Border Punch, as well as the NEW In Colors Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Delicate Doilies Stamp Set, En Francais Background Stamp, Happy Greetings Stamp Set, Flirtacious Specialty DSP, Lucky Limeade CS and Classic Ink, Wisteria Wonder CS and Classic Ink, Whisper White Craft Ink, White EP, Heat Tool, Elegant Eggplant CS and Classic Ink, Basic Pearls, Stampin' dimensionals, Lace Ribbons Border Punch
