Inchie Swap

Hi Everyone!

Wanna do an A-Z inchie swap???  I haven't tried making any inchies yet, but my friend Liz is hosting a cool swap so how can I resist giving them a try :) 

I'm going to order some of those 1x1 inch chipboard pieces from here and maybe some of those cute Lockhart images to go with them.  Can you tell I'm really getting into this idea :)

We would love to have you join us!  I'm really curios to see what kind of ideas people come up with for such a wee little canvas!

You can sign up on Liz' blog here or on the Splitcoast thread here.

Hope you all have a nice weekend and a happy father's day!

May Freedom Ring

Today is the release day for eight new Kitchen Sink stamp sets!!  There is a lot going on in the Kitchen this month including a contest, so be sure to check out the new Contest Blog to find out how you can win free stamps!!

The cards I'm sharing today use the new stamp sets Playful Stars, Plaid Plus! and Ready 4 Any Holiday.  The first card is an atc I made for my swap groups and the second card is just a larger version :)

I also took a few photos while I was making the cards so I will share those too :)

Step 1 - Use the plaid maker image and SU! white Craft ink to make your background. 

Step 1

Step 2 - Add the stars with Brilliance "Rocket Red" ink.  This brand of ink works really well with SU! Kraft cardstock.

Step 2

Step 3 - Stamp your stars with Brilliance "Moonlight White" ink and cut. 

The large blue star and the medium red star were cut with a craft knife and ruler.  The small stars were punched with a SU! star punch.

For the ATC, I used both the large and small SU! star punches to make them easy to reproduce :) 

Step 3
