Inky Antics Christmas Blog Hop! :)

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Welcome to our Inky Antics Christmas blog hop.  

If you are here from sweet Jovi's blog, you are in the right place.

If you just happened onto my blog, you will want to go back to the Inky blog where it all starts. :)

The girls have all created projects with some of Inky's latest Christmas stamps.

I know...it's not even Halloween and we are sharing Christmas cards. But, you know how it is when you are a card maker though. You have to start early! We are leaving you plenty of time to check out some of Inky's newest sets, get them ordered and still have lots of time to get your cards done. :)

I am super excited because this is the first hop that includes my stamps! My friend Tex (Bev) and I will be sharing cards created with stamps from my Punny Christmas Critters line, and the other girls will be sharing projects created with the wonderful Tammy DeYoung's new images.

My card was done with #11129MC Punny Christmas Pups clear set. It is also available as wood mount...#0095H Fleas Navidad.

This is what the entire set looks like.

You can get a link to it and the other stamps the girls have used for this hop HERE.

I loved "decorating" the tree, and thought I would share a close up. The glitter and rhinestones almost look like lights. :)

Card Recipe:

Designer Paper: KaiserCraft - Belle Collection

Cardstock: Discount Card Stock -  Posh Red Linen and Brilliant White

Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon - Ruby Red Diamond Satin

Other: 

Want2Scrap - 72 Count Red Rhinestones

Art Glitter - D59 StarDance Hexus Grande Dazzlers

Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, StazOn Jet Black ink, JudyKins Diamond Glaze, Beacon Fabri-tac, Scotch ATG, sewing machine with red thread, Bow-easy

The blog hop starts today and ends on Sunday, October 28th at midnight Central time. Please visit each DT members’ blog to view their projects and leave a comment for each designer. The more you comment, the better your chances are to win. (Limit one comment per blog, please). TWO people’s names will be drawn at random to receive an Inky Christmas clear stamp set. The winners’ names will be announced on the Inky Antics blog next Monday, so remember to stop back and see if you've won.

Your next stop on the hop is Michelle's inspiring blog. :)

Thanks so much for hopping by!

Really Reasonable Ribbon's October Blog Hop! :)

Hi everyone, and welcome to our October...

If you are here from the Really Reasonable Ribbons Ramblings blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog, you will want to go back there and start from the beginning. :)

The girls have all prepared projects to share using the October Ribbon Club assortment. It is full of fun Christmas/Winter prints as well as some solids and lace.

Not a ribbon club member yet? CLICK HERE to get details on how you can get a pretty surprise assortment of ribbons in your mail box every month. :)

Once again, I had trouble deciding which to use so I made three cards. If you are like me, you have so many Christmas cards to make, that you just have to make them quick and easy. One way to add a little extra something is to use a printed ribbon. I didn't even put a bow on theses since they will be mailed and I was afraid it might be too bulky for standard postage. (Normally it doesn't bother me a bit to pay a little extra postage, but as many Christmas cards as we send out, extra postage would really add up quick.

I just used Brilliant White, Really Red, and Forest Green cardstock form Discount Card Stock, (no designer paper) to let the ribbon shine. The colors coordinate perfectly! The cardstock was embossed with Spellbinder's - Holly Ribbon embossing folder.

Isn't it amazing what a little 5" strip of ribbon can do to pretty up a card?

The pearls are from Want2Scrap.

What stamp did I use you ask? :)

Mine!  :) 

I illustrated six sets of "Punny Christmas Critters" for Inky Antics.

This one is #11125MC "Punny Christmas Cows".

(Just copy and past "Punny Christmas Critters" into the search box at the top of the Inky Antics page and click "GO" to see all of the sets.)

Make sure and leave comments along the way to increase your chances of winning this wonderful prize from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

 Your next step on the hop is sweet Linda's blog. Bet she has something AWESOME to share with you!

Happy hopping!
