Love You Much, Love Matters Valentine

I'm preparing Valentine ideas for next month. This is a card with envelope that the gentlemen at my workplace will be able to make for their sweethearts. It is very easy and uses some retired sets and DSP that I just adore. The main colors are Crumb Cake and Pretty in Pink and black. Versamark ink is also used to stamp a background pattern on the Crumb Cake.

January IB&C Workshop Wizard

Hi, gang. I made another Workshop Wizard for January that only uses items from the IB&C. I hope you find it helpful.

Inkerbelle's January Workshop Wizard

BTW, I used a cheapo watercolor brush swirled in the ink pad lids to watercolor the Loads of Love card. If you need any extra guidance on how the cards were made, please contact me. I always aim to have my projects able to be recreated by just looking at them.

Getting ready for Sale-a-bration 2012!

I've been working a little bit trying to get a head start on 2012.

It's been sad not having the Workshop Wizard on the demonstrator web site anymore so I decided to create my own Workshop of the Month. This WOTM spans all of Sale-a-Bration instead of the month of January. I'll be working on January's over the weekend but I thought I'd share my SAB wizard sheet with you other fabulous demonstrators for FREE. This has ALL the details you could need, at least I think so. These projects build upon each other so follow them in order to make sure you don't miss any supplies.

The ideas are pictured in the datasheet as well. I did not post instructions because I try to make all of my projects able to be recreated just by looking at the finished picture. However, let me know if you need guidance. I also highlighted groups of items that total $50 and a SAB choice to go along with them. You should see what I mean. Also, checkboxes indicate Starter Kit items so you can talk about that awesome promotion, too. Hope this helps!

Have a peaceful New Year and don't work too hard. I never do.

More Snow Much Fun fun

Finally completed all of my Christmas cards for 2011. Nope, this isn't the one! Can't give away that surprise yet. Here is just another idea for a cute card to demonstrate. A little late for a holiday workshop, but it's good for reference. Have a peaceful holiday home stretch!

Petite Pairs, Simply Soft, Cheerful Treat DSP card

Using a layout from our Worldwide Week of Workshops, I fashioned this quick card from the stamp sets and papers I had on hand. I love all the hints I get on designing a pleasing card.

We are so happy to have made our +One demonstrators goal for 2011. Congratulations to all the demonstrators who participated!

On Your Birthday, Triple Treat Flower, Distressed Dots card

Another fun 3x3" workshop card to share. Getting practice in preparation for 2012!

More Every Little Bit Zen kitty

Here is a litte 3x3 card with Sahara Sand, Bravo Burgundy, Paisley Petals DSP and black grosgrain ribbon. A great workshop card!

Every Little Bit back to basics card

Lately I've been noticing that I am feeling less and less connected to the actual stamping of a card. What about you?

So last night I stamped and cut out a bunch of these little kitties from the Every Little Bit set. I then decided to leave a few uncut on the paper and just started doodling around them with my Stampin' Write Marker. Then I reached for this other thing called a #2 pencil and started doodling with that. Wow, it was so freeing and nifty. I suggest you try it! It can be messy and it may not win any beauty contests, but it is a fun exercise! This uses So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake. Can't finish without at least one rhinestone!
