2018 Holiday Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Inky Friends blog hop!  We have a great line up showcasing new stamps and products from the brand new Stampin' Up Holiday catalog.

I am so happy to have had a chance to stamp a few cards with the adorable line art set Trick or Tweet.


Instead of using DSP, I made my own with the great background stamp Buffalo Check.  I applied an oval mask over the stamped images before stamping the background.


Of course if there is a kitty stamp you know I have to have it!


Each card is a single layer with the exception of the tiny cut out pumpkin.  I know it is probably silly but one product that I am delighted to have is the itty bitty Mini Stampin' Dimensionals! They are the best thing to be able to add a little extra to a card by elevating a tiny image.  The new colors of the Stampin' Blends so fun too!  Blackberry Bliss is definitely my favorite... such a rich deep purple!

On this last card I did a little extra sponging of some additional inks on the background.   I started with Crushed Curry, then added some Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss.

Thank you for hopping along with My Inky Friends today!   Please click on the buttons below to continue on your merry way!
