I struck gold this week when I found five cards in my folder that I hadn't blogged! Woohooo! I've been working like crazy on stuff for future dates, but have been scrambling every day on when to blog next.
So that's why I picked this card today ~ because I wish I had more hands! This cute set from Our Craft Lounge is called Oceans of Fun & the images are so great for building scenes (which is something I am usually NOT good at). 
Happy Inchie Friday! I'm back with another installment of my Inchie Calendar. My June page went together so quick, that I decided to do one for July as well. In fact, I have everything lined up to do August thru December.
For June's page, I used on of my favorite stamping techniques on my little white Inchie square. I stamped it with black pigment ink and heat embossed it clear powder. When coloring with Copic markers, these tiny, detailed images tend to run a bit. However, when you heat emboss them, it isn't a problem (or not as much of one). This family picture was taken in Bar Harbor, Maine last summer ~ we loved it there.
For my July page, I actually recycled one of my past Inchie rejects ~ lol! I've had this star image stamped and colored since December & never knew what I was going to do with it. LIGHT BULB MOMENT ~ 4th of July Calendar page. PERFECT!
Supplies: Stamps ~ Our Craft Lounge (Kona available only at Eclectic Paperie) & Life's A Beach; Cardstock ~ SU; Pattern Paper ~ Sandy Lion; Ribbon ~ May Arts; Ink ~ Palette, Copics; Punch ~ EK Success; Nestabilities. 
My fun project for todayare some postcard notes. I used the great new sentiment set from Lizzie Anne Designs called Everyday Sayings & one of my favorite flower sets called Le Jardin.
I used a different sentiment on each note card from the Everyday Sayings Stamp Set and they turned out really cute!
Don't you just love this new paper from My Mind's Eye ~ it's called Pretty Please! I LOVE IT!
Earlier today you may have seen a cute little cardbox to put them inside. My sweet friend Val, made a beautiful box & template for one of her classes. Unfortunately, I missed the fact that she hadn't had her class yet & should not have shared the box just yet. I sincerely apologize to Val for my mistake! Once she has had her class in June, she will be sharing her template and I will then post my box again.
My sweet friend Pine always uses Kraft cardstock with and white ink & is UBER talented. This card was both inspired by and is dedicated to her today.
And here is my sample to go along with it. It's even got the watermelon for today's picnic! I used the sets Chillin' & Grillin' (which is 20% off this week) and Everyday Sayings.
I hope everyone is having a super holiday weekend. I've been working non-stop on some fun new endeavors, but decided to stop and play with my new Kit of the Month from Unity Stamps. Each time I get a new kit, I pick out the stamp that first catches my eye ~ this month it was this gorgeous flower stamp. This gift bag took just a few minutes to finish & now I'm all ready to put something fun inside.
Happy Saturday! Woohoo...it's the weekend. I was looking through some files on my computer and realized that I never put this card on my blog! This cute little card was actually on the cover of Scrap & Stamp Arts last August & I was SUPER excited about that!
Isn't this image fun? When I saw it I knew I wanted to use it for a layout of Matt's 7th birthday. We took a few of his friends to the movies to see Cars. Fun times! And sometimes I wish he was 7 again ~ in just a few weeks, he will turn 10 years old. WOW!
It's just a super simple layout, but it gets the job done (and it's one more off my list to do)! I also used this page over on the Wacky Wednesday challenge on Rubbernecker!
I finished my entire card and then didn't really like the placement of the cake image, so I cheated a little and moved it to the center. I used the fun little set Sweets and Treats along with the matching Digital Paper Pack. Have your tried them yet? Oh my ~ they are super fun!
Supplies Used: Stamps ~ Lizzie Anne Designs (Sweets and Treats); Cardstock ~ SU & PTI; Pattern Paper ~ Lizzie Anne Designs (Sweets & Treats Digital Paper); Ink ~ Versamark, Palette, Copics; Ribbon ~ SU.
There were fairly easy cards to put together, but the girls loved them. The first card was a CASE from the catalog ~ I just LOVE that new Fifth Avenue Floral set!
Step 1: Select a 12”x12” piece of textured cardstock. From each edge, score at 1” & 3” (8 score lines total).
I made this project using the April Kit of the Month.
For my first project, I used the adorable peacock from the January Kit of the Month & my all-time favorite sentiment from the March Kit of the Month.
On my second project today, I used this fun little grove of trees from the April Kit of the Month.
For my little white Inchie squares this time, I embossed the image in white pigment ink and then colored the background and the cone with Copic markers. Then I added some glue on the ice cream portion of the image and sprinkled on White Sparkly Fluff. I love the little punch of fun these embellishments add to the page.
