Fun with Ink Cubes

 

Today I am posting two cards that I recently made from a virtual event by The Paper Cut back in February called Fun with Mini Ink Cubes.  These are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of Sarah from The Paper Cut. 

The products for both of these cards are from Brass & Bliss or The Paper Cut. All of the beautiful cardstock is also from The Paper Cut. For the oval card, I used Gina K Designs Masking Magic and die cut an oval to ink blend.  The sentiment was from my stash.  The celebrate card was done by dragging 3 ink cubes along the debossed side of the panel to ink the background and leave the flowers white.   I added my own enamel dots on both cards.

 

Sarah offers many different kinds of classes through the year and kits can be ordered from their website.

New Day Cards

 

Today is the day of May and I am posting a set of cards for our challenge-The Catch-up Club!  A few of my stamping friends, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry along with myself, have signed up for a number of virtual stamping events in the past 4+ years.  One of the benefits of these events are that they are available to rewatch or even watch for the first time at a later date as they are all recorded. The 4 of us "try" to watch live and chat by texting during the event.  But, life steps in and there are times when one or more of us are not participating during the live.  Then, the kits from sponsors sits in our stamping area until we are ready to watch the video and create.  During one of the events, we decided we needed to push ourselves (and each other) to get some of these events done!   So--we all decided to devote one day a month, the last day of the month for the somewhat procrastinators that we are, to post cards we missed making.  So--here we are in our 17th month of The Catch Up Club!

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of the other instructors from these classes.  I am just recreating the cards from the class. This month the creations are from the recent Scrapbook & Cards Today Crop & Create Delivered.  

The set of 3 cards were created by Christopher of  Brutus Monroe.  The set is called New Day and includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, a stencil and some rub-ons that work with all of them.

I have a few more classes from this event and hope to finish them soon..........

I hope you enjoyed my cards!  Here are the links to the other of the Catch Up Club.  Please be sure to check out Jeanette's, Terry's, and Darlene's blogs.  They may post today, but we have all promised to post cards that we have missed the making along the way!

SCT Celebrations Delivered #3

 

Today is the last day of December and I am posting a set of cards for our challenge-The Catch-up Club!  A few of my stamping friends, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry along with myself, have signed up for a number of virtual stamping events in the past 4+ years.  One of the benefits of these events are that they are available to rewatch or even watch for the first time at a later date as they are all recorded. The 4 of us "try" to watch live and chat by texting during the event.  But, life steps in and there are times when one or more of us are not participating during the live.  Then, the kits from sponsors sits in our stamping area until we are ready to watch the video and create.  During one of the events, we decided we needed to push ourselves (and each other) to get some of these events done!   So--we all decided to devote one day a month, the last day of the month for the somewhat procrastinators that we are, to post cards we missed making.  So--here we are in our 15th month of The Catch Up Club!

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of the other instructors from these classes.  I am just recreating the cards from the class. This month the creations are from the SCT Celebrations Delivered and this Cathy Zielske's class.  This virtual class was in February 2024, so I am slowly catching up.  There is another SCT class this February and of course I signed up!

This kit came with a sweet stamp set, 40 dies, 3 stencils and all of the needed cardstock. This kit included many items to celebrate milestones--like a new home, graduation, new baby, wedding, etc.  It was an amazing kit and the class by CZ was so fun! 

 

This is the last class from this event to make!!!!!  Yay, it feels so good to have another event done!  Now, I have parts of other virtual events and classes from 2023 and 2024 that need to be completed.  And, I have 3 events coming up in February and I am able to watch one live. I am already way behind, so more Catch Up to Come!

I hope you enjoyed my cards!  Here are the links to the other of the Catch Up Club.  Please be sure to check out Jeanette's, Terry's, and Darlene's blogs.  They may post today or tomorrow, but we have all promised to post cards that we have missed the making along the way!

Always Smiling

 

On Friday night, I participated in a virtual Pinkfresh Studio even, taught be Lea and Heather that was sponsored by Cobblestone Creek Studio from Oregon. I ordered the kit for the class and it also came with the main stamp, stencil and die set called Always Smiling.  Of course I also added on the coordinating press plate.  Leslie, the owner, put together an amazing kit--panels already stamped and heat embossed along with two panels die cut with a cover plate.  She also die cut the two gold frames and included a little bag of gems!  I actually was able to craft along and made both of the sweet cards. It felt amazing to complete them during the class and not have another kit sitting on my shelf, waiting to be tackled!

Remember--these are not my designs.  I just followed along with the creators--Lea and Heather!

This was a very fun evening of crafting. I did place another order yesterday from Leslie as she gave us a discount on any Pinkfresh Studio items.  And, it has already shipped!  I know I will order from Cobblestone Creek Studios in the future and would love to see this store in person someday!
