Sneak Peak: High Tide

At first glace High Tide on page 25 of the Occasions Catalog ($26.00 – 143006 photopolymer) wasn’t something that really caught my eye.  Actually, I didn’t even notice the set and had to ask my friends when this set was being demonstrated several times where

Welcome to the Fun & Crafty Blog Hop for November 2016!  If you are following along you have just left my dear friend Christine over at Artful Musings.  I’m so excited to welcome you to the Inky Fingers Stamping Blog.  I’m also just a we bit nervous as I have NEVER EVER participated in a blog hop before.  So pardon my nervousness 🙂

Today, I’d like share with you a clean and simple Christmas card made from the Peaceful Pine photopolymer stamp set.  This card really strikes accord with me.  It’s clean, simple and elegant.  Best of all it’s easy to mass produce or to create it in different color combinations.  The possibilities are endless.  While I was away attending OnStage Local in Vancouver, British Columbia this was one of the cards that I swaped with my fellow Demonstrators.

These are a few of my favorite things 

These are a few of my favorite things 

My team leader and mentor Jennifer was honored to be a display stamper for our OnStage Local in Vancouver, British Columbia.   She created several projects using a few of my favorite things – cupcakes and carousel’s.   This entire suite is Ah-may-zing!   Seriously 

Oh my goodness!

Oh my goodness!

I literally have so much goodness to process!    But I did want to take just a minute to share with you very quickly some of the new products that I received this weekend at OnStage Local. I have lot more – trust me LOTS 

Wonderful Year

Wonderful Year

I had a wonderful time at OnStage local with my Stampin’ Up! sisters.  It was a weekend full of learning, sharing, creating, fellowship, laughs and food.  What would a girls trip be without food and giggles?
I have plenty to share.  It will take me a few days to process everything that I learned and to share all the amazing swaps and make n takes I made.  Please remember I have been sworn to secrecy on some of the new and upcoming product from the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs.  

In the mean time, I’d like share with you what has been my most favorite Christmas card yet.  It’s all about the details in this card. 

Fun tips to make this card:

  • The card is made with our crumb cake note cards
  • The doolie is cut in half to fit on the card
  • It’s okay to have the embellishments “hang off” the card base

    I’m in Vancouver, British Columbia this weekend for OnStage Local.  Tonight is the first organized swap I have ever participated in.  I’m actually participating in TWO!  I have not idea what I was thinking when I signed up for them.  I was still frantically working on the swaps as of late last night.  Good thing, I have a comfy spot in the back seat of my friends car.  The card I am sharing today actually the card  I’ll be swapping tomorrow morning before our event starts.  My friend Stacey, was the inspiration for this card.  I took an idea she had and expanded on it and made it my own.  Honestly, this was the first time I used the Foxy Friends stamp set and punch!  Shhh….don’t tell my man = it’s been sitting on my shelf since June!

    Special Edition Box (and project) coming for November Paper Pumpkin Kit!

    I can’t tell you how much I absolutely love Paper Pumpkin! It was the only way I was able to paper craft between June and August, when we were in the height of our summer craziness! I really appreciated having these kits because I didn’t
