Open House Fun

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my Open House this weekend! We had a great time stamping make 'n takes, checking out displays and just chatting. Here are a few pictures:

Random.org chose the lucky raffle winner ~ Congratulations, Keri!! I'll be in touch to drop off your raffle basket!

Have a great evening!

First Day Card

We're counting down the days until the Summer Mini-Catalog and its products are gone! Eight more days to get it before it's hasta la vista, baby!!

Today's project is made with the "First Day" stamp set. I originally purchased this set for scrapbooking - it's perfect for all of those, you guessed it, first days of school. But after I ran across a couple of adorable cards made with the set during swaps with other demonstrators, I decided to give a "first day" card a try. Here's the result:

I used my Stampin' Write Markers to ink the images so that I could get the three different colored apples, leaves and stems. This is such a great way to incorporate more than one color on a single stamped image! It's as simple as coloring the images with the markers then "huffing" on the stamp to re-moisten the ink. Depending on the complexity of your color scheme it can be a little time-consuming so leave yourself a few extra minutes to complete the project.Supplies and dimensions are listed below.

Thanks for stopping by O-Ink! and happy stamping!

Supplies:

* First Day Stamp Set (Summer 2010 Mini-Catalog) - 118521 Wood Mount, $23.95 (120051 Clear Mount, $17.95)
* Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set - 115370, $36.95 ** Although more expensive than the average stamp set, Teeny Tiny Wishes is a great investment. I use it ALL the time!

Color Challenge - Santa Fe #1

I have a tendency to find four or five colors I love and ignore the other forty gorgeous colors available through Stampin' Up!. Well no more, says I! As a result of that declaration I've decided to do a weekly color challenge. Oh, and I'm not planning on doing these alone (hint, hint). :0)

This week's challenge comes from Santa Fe, New Mexico, where my sister recently got married. I took a ton of beautiful, color-rich pictures so it's likely this won't be the last time we have a Santa Fe Color Challenge.

Here's the picture I took of the sign for the Bed & Breakfast, Hacienda Dona Andrea de Santa Fe, where we stayed (most comfortable beds ever!) and the location of the ceremony (so picturesque!):

See all of those wonderful colors?!

Here's my result...and this was difficult for me. First of all, I wouldn't have put these four colors together, and I usually like to work with just three colors instead of four (yes, I can be kind of picky). But I'm so happy with how it turned out!

I used Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Peach Parfait Patterns Designer Series Paper, Pear Pizazz and Night of Navy. The stamp set, Watercolor Trio, is from the Summer Mini-Catalog (last day to order is August 31st). I've fallen in love with this stamp set - this one is actually my mom's, but I had to borrow it when it arrived here this afternoon. Now I'm convinced I need one of my own!

If you have questions or would like to order the supplies for this project, email me at love22stamp@gmail.com or shop online here.

Now it's your turn! Email me your creations for this color challenge, and I'll post them next Wednesday. One lucky challenger will win a special treat.

Have a great day!

1.  Cut the desired number of cards using Very Vanilla - cut 3" x 6", scored and fold at 3"

2.  Ink the corresponding stamp using your Stampin' Write Markers with Wild Wasabi for the stems, So Saffron for two of the flowers, Baja Breeze for two different flowers and Rose Red for the remaining two flowers (see the photo above). "Huff" on the stamp in order to re-moisten the ink then stamp the image off to the right side of the card near the bottom.

3. Punch a flower from So Saffron, Baja Breeze and Rose Red.

4. Affix a small pearl in the middle of each flower.

5. Using the Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue attach the flowers over the corresponding stamped image.

6. Using your Baja Breeze Stampin' Write Marker, ink the "thanks" portion of the "thanks so much" stamp from Pocket Silhouettes.
