Hello

Greetings. . . I know it has been nearly a month since, my last post, and I don't want to give any excuses. I have done lots of thinking I "ought" to post and then the day is gone. I have been stamping, in between trying to work in the yard, getting a flower garden made, and my vegetable gardens planted, in between the odd weather we have been having, and dealing with pain, that just is.

Here is a card, I made with a stamp by Amy. I know she is working on a blog to show her stamps, but for now, if you see any images that you like, e-mail her. As you can see I used an embossing folder, border punch, and a nestabilitie die.

I think this card could be sent to anyone and for most occasions. I haven't decided who, I will send this to, but I am thinking of making a few more.

Thank you, for taking a look and hoping you are getting some time, to make a card or two.
God Bless,
Inkyhive

Happy Birthday

Hello, here is a birthday card, I just completed. The scan is a bit light and can't figure out how to get it darker to show the coloring better. I stamped the bench and the grass, did the clouds. I colored and cut out the Tilda image (some one sent me a few images) and then I attached her to the bench. I punched out the flowerpot and then stamped the flowers.


I hope every one is doing well and nice Spring weather has come to your town.
Hugs and Prayers, to one and all. . .

Happy St. Pat's Day

I haven't posted, for the last several days, as I was having computer issues! Thankfully, that has been fixed! I wanted to show you of card that I made a couple of days ago.

This first picture is of the inside of the card.
This is the front of the card. Since this birthday is near St. Pat's day, I thought I would do it in that theme. And, too, I didn't get any St. Patrick's Day cards made this year! I had good intentions, but time got away from me. . .

Thanks for taking a look and I will upload other cards later today or tomorrow, as I made 8 cards yesterday. I guess, one can say, that is one good thing for not having a computer!!! I was a bit lost without being able to check my e-mails and to scan cards and, well you must know how it is, when you can use one of your toys that is part of your everyday life! right?!?

Till next time, have a great one!

Sympathy Card

I thought I would share this card, that I needed to make. Over the week-end, we were notified, that the 18 year old grandson of childhood friends, of Mr. Inky, killed himself. Please, keep that family in your prayers. Thank you. I stamped the tree in black and then embossed it with clear glitter embossing powder. So when you see it, in person, you can see the glitter. I took a piece of scrap paper and sponged on ink, for the ground. For the clouds, I used cloud template and sponged on the inks. I then stamped the saying and layered it and then applied to the card. Actually, you could use this card for any occasion, it just depends on what you put on the inside.

May you all have a beautiful day.

Sunflower stamp-n-stencil

I know it's been a week, since I last posted. . .I don't know where all the time goes. AJ and I had a very nice visit last week. AJ made a couple of cards, I stamped images, and of course, we did lots and lots of talking. Before, we knew it, it was time for me to head home. We didn't even break for lunch!!! We are trying to plan our next get together, before we get snow that stays. It has snowed a couple of times, this past week! My it is early, but thankfully, it hasn't stayed and the roads haven't been too icy, though it was hard to open the car doors on Tuesday morning.

Here is a card, I made this afternoon. The sunflower is a stamp-n-stencil. If you haven't taken a look see, why don't you check it out. AJ has several and they are a lot of fun to use! I also, used a border punch, 2 different Cuttlebug embossing folders and 2 different sets of nestabilities. You don't have to have the ones I used. . .you can use different ones or none at all.
I hope this will give you some inspiration and you will take some time to play. For me, stamping and creating is great therapy.
