Let’s Pour Some Holiday Cheer with Miss Ink Stamps

| marialrussell

Hello Miss Ink fans!  I am sharing yet another holiday-themed card today showcasing the Blitzened Stamp Set with the Ins & Outs Bohemian Stencil Set. As soon as I saw this stamp set, I knew I just had to have it!

Here’s how I made the card:

  • Temporarily adhere stencil # 1 to an A2-size panel of Bristol Smooth white card stock using some Pixie Spray.
  • Ink-blend the panel with Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. Remove the stencil.
  • Place Stencil #2 and use Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink for the outline.
  • Stamp the images on some Neenah solar white card stock and color them in with alcohol markers.
  • Fussy-cut the images or use an electronic cutting machine to cut them out. I used my Scan N Cut Machine to cut the images that I colored.
  • Adhere the focal image on the card panel with foam adhesive for added dimension.
  • Adhere some star die-cuts to the card and use white gel pen to add some dots and stars to the panel for added interest and texture.  [Designer’s tip: These tiny details really help to make a cute card.]
  • Finish the card design by stamping the sentiment with VersaFine Claire in Nocturne.

I hope you like my holiday-themed card today and got inspired.  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Thank you for stopping by!

Hello Autumn with Miss Ink Stamps

| marialrussell

Hello Miss Ink fans!  I am super excited to share my very first blog post as the new DT member for Miss Ink Stamps.  Autumn is my favorite season and when I saw this Pumpkin Spice Latte stamp set, I knew I just had to have it.  I’m also showcasing the Perfectly Plaid 6×6 Stencil.

To make the card, I started by stamping the image on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored the images in with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  I used my precision snips to fussy-cut the image.

Since the focal image is really colorful, I decided that the neutral background is the way to go.  I created the background panel by using the Perfectly Plaid 6×6 Stencil and some light gray dye ink.  I adhered this panel on some A2-size notecard.

I created my simple autumn scene by adhering some additional die-cuts that I have from my collection with liquid glue, then foam-mounted the focal image for added dimension.  I finished my card design by stamping the sentiment with some quick dry dye inks and added some Jasper Stone Pearl Mix for more texture.

I hope you like my card today and got inspired.  Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Grande Day with Miss Ink Stamps

It’s week 5 guest-designing for Miss Ink Stamps and for today’s card, I am showcasing the Java Joes stamp set and my Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers.  Here’s what the stamp set look like:

I started by stamping my images on some Neenah classic crest 110 lb. solar white card stock  with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink (this is an alcohol-friendly ink).  I colored my images in with my Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers.   I used my make-up brushes with my Clouds stencil to add the clouds on the background.  I masked the bottom and used my make-up brushes again to add the color to make it look like grass.   I added the “pebble stones” by drawing them using the Brown Grey Blend Triblend Markers.

I started by stamping my images on some Neenah classic crest 110 lb. solar white card stock  with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink (this is an alcohol-friendly ink).  I colored my images in with my TriBlend Markers.  The video below will show you how I colored my card, using the markers.  I just love, love, love the new TriBlends.  You get 3 markers out of one and they blend so easily.  Spectrum Noir will be coming out with more colors soon and I highly recommend them.

Here’s my card:

Just a Note with Miss Ink Stamps

| marialrussell

It’s week 3 for my guest-design post with Miss Ink Stamps and for today’s card, I am showcasing the Magnolia Sympathy stamp set.  Here’s what it looks like:

I started by stamping my images on some Neenah desert storm card stock with Versamark ink and I heat-embossed this with some white embossing powder.  I die-cut the the flowers using my Brother Scan N Cut 2 machine.  I did the same thing on another Neenah desert stormA2 size panel.  I colored the images in with my Prisma color pencils.

I adhered the die-cut flowers on top of the colored images to give it more dimension.  I stamped the sentiment with some Versamark ink and heat-set it with white embossing powder.  I finished my design by adding some white jewels.  Here’s my card:

Another clean and simple card.  I love that the stamp set is so versatile you can use it for any occasion, not just for sympathy cards.   Here’s a closer look at the beautiful flowers:
