And now to share with you the other 3 make-n-takes from INKstravaganza with you!  This set features the GOLD again but I decided to add in the Typeset specialty designer series paper with these.  These cards were inspired by a few other artists!  Some of my favorite cards that I have been hanging on to for a special day!  I had liked each individually for their own reasons but once I had decided on my theme and feature of GOLD products, I knew these would be the perfect additions to my stamping session!

Thanks for coming by to see how much fun I had creating a wonderful day for my INKin' All Night! team achievers!  They had so much fun and I hope each of them earns the next INKstravaganza Day in Oct too!  Hoping many of my team push themselves just a bit to earn this day of pampering!  They are truly all special and I love my team, but it is such a great feeling to reward them for their hard work and effort!

Hugs and have an awesome day!

Gorgeous Grunge meets Festival of Trees

Hi!

Here is another card that we made at club.  It was totally a fan favorite because at this point I am pretty sure that I've convinced most of my gals that the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set is mandatory ... so they love it when I use it and combine it with other sets to provide lots of new ideas!   Who would have thought that it'd be perfect for a Christmas card?
I did see an initial idea on pinterest but I cannot read the font on the picture to thank them for the inspiration but once I started stamping I changed things up and used different colors, images and added in another stamp set all together too! One of the Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set!  Have you checked it out yet?

Stamping Supplies:

Real Red ink

Crumb Cake ink

Old Olive ink and cardstock

Whisper White cardstock

Gorgeous Grunge stamp set

Festival of Trees stamp set

& coordinating Tree Punch

Holiday Cheer Project Life stamp set
Good Greetings Hostess Set

Happy Stamping!

Fresh Prints, Really!

Hello!

Here's another fun make-n-take project that my club gals made on Monday!  They meet once a month and I provide 3 make-n-takes for them for FREE ($10 value)!  It's a fun little break, they get some Q&A time, and help placing their club orders, & socialize a bit with each other.  It's structured as a drop in, come and go as you need - this way it can fit in with their day.

This card features my favorite FRESH PRINTS DSP Stack ... seriously LOVE every color combination possible with it!  And they just stamped the front layer of the white card and then the rest is quick work with a doily folded in half and some punched flower images layered up and topped off with a rhinestone (why are they retiring the big ones?) and some ribbon!  Gorgeous Grunge & Really Great Greetings, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar and Real Red.

 

inspired by this card by Becky Roberts, kept the layout but changed up a few things

 

I'll share the third card tomorrow!  If you think you'd be interested in joining my monthly stampers club, I have new groups forming NOW for June-Dec! We start in June, so holler at me and I'll get more details to you along with your FREE catalog too!  Club groups accommodate local and long distance, even out of state members so don't worry if you don't live next door!  I do make and mail the completed cards to the long distance gals since they don't have the option to attend in person.  I would love to hear from you!

Have a great day!  See you again soon,
Rhonda

My May Swap Card

Hello!

Each month I host a team gathering for my INKin' All Night! team of demonstrators, and of course we have a swap every month!  It's a great way to share and gather ideas and to make sure we are actually stamping too! Ever get mad at yourself when you buy something and just "don't get to using it" ... well this encourages us to stamp every month!

For May we had a Shoe Box Swap, where we meet and make the swap cards at a local restaurant.  My neighborhood Keegan's Grill & Taproom is so awesome!  They let me use the big back room anytime, no charge and the service is great!  I do ask if possible for people that can to join us for dinner an hour early so that we are supporting them with our business as well!  They even do single tickets, full menu, fill our drinks from the time we get there until we leave.  Did I say they are AMAZING!

So here was my swap card!  You may have seen a teaser of it on my business Facebook Page - if not, be sure to like me so you don't miss out on whatever tidbits I share there too!  The theme for May was Birthday or Masculine

Stamps:
Gorgeous Grunge (never gets put away)
Four Frames
Wetlands

Inks & Paper:
Crisp Cantaloupe
Pistachio Pudding
Island Indigo
Chocolate Chip
Venetian Romance DSP
Ivory Naturals cardstock
Baked Brown Sugar

Decorative Label Punch
Oval Punch
Angled Tag Topper Punch
Baked Brown Sugar Ruffled Ribbon
Island Indigo Bakers Twine
Framelits
Clips

Well this one was out of my normal color scheme but I like the way it turned out!  Hope you have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by,
Rhonda

One for the Dads

Hi!

Just to even out the love, here's the card that I have had ready since forever (joined a masculine card swap some time ago) for my Father's Day cards!  Yes they are sitting here waiting to be mailed and I honestly think I should just mail them now with a stamp that says "Do Not Open Until ..."   that way they have them when the day finally rolls around!  Lord knows that they will be sitting here on Father's Day if I don't!!  But I will challenge myself to mail them the week before!  Someone remind me! ;)

This card features one of my favorite color combinations! 

Inks & Paper:
Bermuda Bay & Basic Black & Smokey Slate

Stamps:
Delightful Dozen
Simply Stars
Gorgeous Grunge

Accessories:
Island Indigo bakers twine
Black Chevron ribbon
Metal buttons

Chalk Talk Framelits
Scallop Tag Topper Punch (for the black layer behind the greeting)



Just a little update on Rachel after the car accident, her muscle soreness and everything started to really kick in the 24-72 hours after and continued to get worse all week.  We went to her primary care doctor right away, the day after and we were able to get in on Mon with a Chiropractor that treats athletes.  She is pretty much messed up from her neck to her ankles!  So much that you cannot see physically, so we are headed for Xrays and then back to have them read, with a plan for treatment.  Even with this, she is blessed to be walking and upright and normal, just need to straighten out all of the kinked up spots!

Happy Stamping, see you again soon!
Rhonda
