I always seem to be short on masculine birthday cards, so I decided to use the beautiful new High Tide stamp set and create a card for my father-in-law's upcoming birthday.  I absolutely LOVE the lighthouse image in this set...it is amazing!

 

I created the plank background by inking up some watercolor paper with Soft Suede ink then running it through the Big Shot in the Woodgrain embossing folder while it was still a bit damp. 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Whisper White, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Basic Black, Real Red, Smoky Slate, Marina Mist, Old Olive, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ High Tide, B.Y.O.P

Bee Mine

Welcome to the SSINK February Blog Hop!  We are so excited to share some LOVE with you today!  Valentine's Day is just a few days away and we have some great projects to INKspire you for any last minute Valentine's you may need to create.

 

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 2 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Diana of Stampin' Fun With Diana). If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

 

 I found these adorable little bee chocolates at our local candy store and just had to use them for Valentine's for my youngest.  I don't have many years left of the "cute" Valentine's so I have to take advantage of these while I can!

I CASE'd the design of the card from the annual catalog.  It's a pretty simple design, but a bit time consuming cutting out all of those little hives with the Hexagon Hive Thinlits...thank goodness for the Precision Base Plate!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, So Saffron, It's My Party DSP, Real Red

Ink ~ Basic Black, Crushed Curry

Stamp Sets ~ Honeycomb Hello, Calling All Heros

Other Supplies ~ Hexagon Hive Thinlits, Lots of Labels Framelits, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

My little guy was a big help in making these.  He helped me crank all of the paper through the Big Shot, punched out all of the hearts and glued on all of the chocolate bees.  He also worked so hard on signing his name on all 25 of his Valentine's!  He still struggles with W's and M's so this was really good practice for him and he was so proud that he did it all by himself!

The vintage designs in the Home for Christmas DSP are my absolute FAVORITE!!  It is quite possible I have hoarded numerous packs of this DSP to keep for years to come.  It reminds me of Christmas with my MeMe...I always miss her, more so around the holidays!

And how about this cubby little Santa?  Isn't he the BEST?

And the reindeer...my favorites!

Paper ~ Soft Sky, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Vellum, Gold Foil, Red Glimmer, Gold Glimmer, Home for Christmas DSP, Winter Wonderland DSP, Season of Cheer DSP

Whew...I think I used just about every supply I have from the Holiday Catalog for these cute cards!

Wickedly Simple Seasonal Snapshot ~ SSINK Halloween Blog Hop

Hello happy stampers and welcome to our SSINK Halloween Blog Hop!  

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers!

My stamping time has been really limited this past week, which makes me super sad, but thanks to the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Project Life Card Collection and coordinating stamp set I was able to make three cute cards in no time flat!

By simply layering a few PL cards, a few stamped images here and there and a few embellishments these cards were DONE!

The cute little square specialty cards that come in the accessory pack were the PERFECT way for a quick and easy card!

I LOVE this FUN bat card that I used for the background of this card.  With an extra little bat stamped on the Happy Halloween card and layered on top of the moon and stars card, this card was done...easy peasy!

Next up on our Hop is the fabulous Leanne!
