Inkin With Dink

I'm back!!!

Hello Stampers!  I'm so sorry that it has been so long since I have posted!  Life just really gets in the way sometimes!!!  I'm hoping to get back into posting here regularly again.  I have still been sending out my email newsletters and posting regularly on Facebook, so be sure to either subscribe to my email list or find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/InkinWithDink to see what I've been up to!

Today I wanted to share a Facebook Live video that I did showing how to make a card with the Hello Ladybug bundle from the mini catalog.  I actually made the card to follow  our current team challenge, which is a color challenge.  Here is the card that I made:

October Paper Pumpkin alternatives

Hello Stampers!  Every month I receive a Paper Pumpkin kit.  This is a subscription service that Stampin' Up! offers!   It is usually cards, but once in awhile it may be treat bags, boxes, home decor, etc.  I always do up my kit by first creating the projects that it was meant to create.  I then like to have some fun and be creative!

This month's kit was Christmas cards!  Here are the cards that I made:

I also make up a scrapbook page every month too!  Here is this month's page:

After I create all of my projects, I do a Facebook Live on the last Wednesday of the month!  Here it is if you want to take a peek:

 

Here is my link if you want to receive your own Paper Pumpkin kit every month!

Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions!

Mystery Stamping card

Hello Stampers!  Tonight was my Come Stamp With Me mystery card stamping night.  I set up a Zoom link for everyone to join in and I post a list of all of the supplies that are needed to complete their project.  They get a list of cardstock and the sizes it needs to be as well as designer series paper, etc.  Here is the supplies list for tonights stamping:

While we are on the Zoom, I will lead them step by step in creating a mystery card!  I go nice and slow and give everyone an opportunity to ask questions or have me repeat as necessary.  In the end we share our cards!  It is really fun to see what everyone creates!  This time I am giving everyone two days to post pics of their cads in the comments of the post and then I will do a drawing and send someone a prize for participating!

Here is how my card turned out::

How to use Decorative Masks

Hello Stampers!  I made a video this week showing three different ways to use decorative masks.  Now you may be wondering why I choose this for a video!  It's because the March 2021 Paper Pumpkin comes with a FREE gift of 4 free decorative masks!  March is the anniversary of Paper Pumpkin, so every year they include some sort of gift in that month's kit.  This year it happens to be the masks and a sponge!

Here is my video:
