Owl Pouches


Hello all! Welcome to Mrs. Lincolns Inkin'! A quick share today of 2 super cute Owl Pouches that i made. I LOVE owls. Don't ask me why because it's weird that one of my biggest fears is birds! I know, weird but true! Owls on the other had are so cute and cuddly looking that i just want to own them all!!!

These little guys are so easy to make and are so cute don't you think? You heard be right before, they are actully pouches. They will fit any snack size candy bar (yummy). If i was smart i would of got some and then used them in the picture... then ate them, lol. But, i'm trying to stay away from the sweets:(


This second guy here i decided to put some wings on him. Check back Friday for Friday Video, these little guys are going to be what we make! YAY!!!

Well, super quick post today. Hope you all enjoyed and until next time...

Craft Room Update


Good day crafters!! Today's share is going to be a little bit different. I thought that i would share with you the updates and rearranging that i did to my craft space. Me personally, i love to see where others create, where and how they store certain things...so i would like to update you on my little "heaven" where i go to create.

As some of you may know, my hubby allowed me to change out one of our spare rooms (on the main floor) into my little haven (Isn't he sweet?!?!?!?). To see what my space looked like before, click on the "my craft space" tab at the top of my website for a quick peek. Ok, here we go...

This is what it looks like if you are standing in the door. The space that i have isn't that largest but it works out great for me. It's comfy and cozy and allows my daughter to come in and craft (and by that i mean color on the walls, lol) with me! I used to have my desk almost smack dab in the middle of the room, but i found that wasn't really working for me. It was making the room feel smaller than it was and cramped. I didn't know how else to put it though. After some begging and pleading, hubby helped me move some things and we came up with a great way that i LOVE!!!




To the right of the door is where the closet used to be. This is where store all of my retired stamps and extra everything lol. On the wall there, above the fish tank is where i keep my current Clear stamps. I am not a big Wood-Mount stamp girl, in fact i think that i only have about 5-6 current sets that are wood. I really like the clear stamps. Then, of course... my daughters rocking chairs:)


Next to that is my wall organizer that i got from Michael's. This holds all my ribbon, Dazzling Details... things of that nature. Extra re-inkers and some odd and ends that i wanted out so that maybe it would remind me to use them. I am so one of those people that if i can't see it... i forget that i have it! Display is a key in my room, lol!!


Here is a front on view of my desk. Messy yes but i was busy creating, lol:) It may look messy to some, but surprising it normally is much worse. I don't know why but sometimes, the messier my desk, the more ideas come out of me, lol:) Weird!! My window was the entire reason why i wanted my room on the main floor, so that i could see the beautiful outdoors, have the widow open and just enjoy nature! We live in the county, so seeing deer, turkey, foxes and other various wildlife is a regular occurrence for me. It is nice to be in my little world and be inspired by them. Before, i had my ink and my paper a little bit away from my work-space. Now, the ink is right next to me and my paper is right in front of me. It works out GREAT! Some have asked how i organize my paper. Well, on the top of my desk there in my paper hold is where i keep all my paper, nothing small in size though than half a sheet. If it is smaller than half a sheet (that is what i would call a "scrap"), under my desk i have a little paper organizer (sorry, i didn't take a picture of that) that is divided into the colors and that's where i keep the smaller pieces of paper. That way, if i know i only need to punch out one 1" circle, i dont' have to use a whole sheet or go searching for a smaller piece. It seems to be working out great for me!


On the wall next/above my desk is one of my inspiration shelves. This is where i have moved my old radio and have some things displayed that i have made. I keep my lantern (i am obsessed with old lanterns) up there as well as my Breast Cancer Awareness NASCAR that my wonderful Papa gave to me! GO ROWDY!!!!


Then, below that of course i have my Big Shot station and my card showcase rack. I LOVE THIS! A girl at my work had one and i was so excited when she said that she would sell it to me!!! And of course, my wonderful mother's little corner where she comes over and creates with me! I couldn't have a room without a spot for her!! it just wouldn't be the same!!!


Then last but not least i have my wall where i have another inspirational shelf and my "Punch" wall. My hubby hung out curtain rods for me (some use racks from Ikea, these work great for me, and cost a lost less, lol) and that is how i store those. I have my Cricut machine there on my shelf along with some other storage bins. Just little odds and ends.

Well all, that is my quick tour of my space. I am planning on doing an updated video tour here sometime. Since the last one i did was a little bit ago. So be looking out for that. I hope you all have a very craft day and until next time...

Annual Catalog CASE




Hello stampers. Happy Monday!!!

Today's share is a card that i CASE'd fromt the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. For those of you that are not familier with the word "CASEd", it is what us crafters say when we were inspired by someones else idea/work. It stands for "Copy and Share Everything". I first saw this card and LOVED it! I loved the White on White, the design and the colors of the banners! Sometimes, you become stuck finding an idea to do... so it is nice that the SU! Annual Catalog is a place that you can go to check out some ideas! Here is a closer look at the card that inspired me. You can find it on page 16 of the catalog:


Of course, i did change the stamp set (because i didn't have the one that was featured on the catalog project, but i have a feeling that is going to change rather quickly, lol).



The stamp set that i chose to use was the Oh, Hello set. What a great set!!! Here is a closer look at it, maybe it will inspire you to use it!!!


Well, that's all for today's share everyone, i really hope that you enjoyed!! Until next time...

Secret Slider Card Video


Hello all, Happy Friday Video Day!!!

Today's video share is of a Secret Slider Card. This is what the front of the card looks like.  Pretty, cheery... but when you pull on the tab....


BOOM, it turns out to be a slider pop-up card. How cute is that?!?!?!?  Here is a picture of it from the side:



Let's go ahead, without further ado, and take a look at today's video:




CUTE!!!  What you are going to need for this project is 2 pieces of card stock (i like to used one color and then one in Whisper White) cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Then your tag piece (what slides in your card, again this should be Whisper White or a lighter color so you can see your greetings) needs to be cut at 3" x 4 3/4".  Your base needs to be cut down both sides from 3/4" down to 4 3/4".  Then, score in-between the cut marks at (starting from the bottom with the "cut") at 1 1/4" then at 3" and then at 4 3/4".

Today i featured the stamp set Happy Hour.  Which has such great stamps for birthday's, Christmas or just a fun girls night!  Here is a closer look at the entire set:


Well, that's all for today friends.  I hope you enjoyed and until next time...

Framed Tulip



Hello all.  Welcome to my little place on the Web, Mrs. Lincolns Inkin!

Today's share could be used as so many things. It could be used as a masculine card, a thank you card, a hello card or even a Christmas Card (if you added some glitter to the tree).  I love cards that if you didn't put a sentiment on them right away, they are great "go to" cards for whatever the occasion may be.  Today, i made this a simple "hello" card using the sentiment "hello, you" from the Regarding Dahlias set.

The base of my card today is average size of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  I chose to go with the Cherry Cobbler because i think that it just really makes the Whisper White card stock POP!  I outlined the edges with my card with the Framed Tulip embossing folder and my Big Shot. 

The stamp set that i used for my main image is Lovely As A Tree! This is such a great stamp set.  SU! has had it FOREVER and i think it's because it is soooo awesome.  It's an oldy but definitely a goody.  You will be seeing a lot more of this set in the next few days to come!!!  Here is a closer look at it if you are unfamiliar with it:

Well, that's all for today folks!! A quick reminder though that the new Holiday Mini is going to be available to order from in just a little over a week! If you don't have your catalog, contact me today.  They are $5 (plus s/h & tax).  But, if you place an order with me from my on-line store (click here to head to my on-line store) of $25 or more (prior to s/h & tax) then i will send you yours absolutely FREE!!  Until next time all...

Your Kindness...



Hello all, Happy Monday!!!!

Today's share is a quick and simple share using the Deco Framelit Label Dies and a scrap piece of Gingham Garden DSP!

I used a piece of Daffodil Delight cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and cut out my Deco Frame with #2 (that is from counting from the smallest framelit to the largest) and my Big Shot.  I had some scrap Gingham Garden dsp so i placed that on the back of my Daffodil Delight and then adhered that to the base of my card.  To give it a little something extra i punch out some flowers from my Flower Shop stamp set and used the Pansy Punch to punch them out! Here is a closer look at this super cute set and punch:





Now on a little bit of a personal note! I am super duper excited for tonight! My best friend and I are going to see Jeff Dunham LIVE!!!!!



For those of you that don't know who Jeff Dunham is, he is a funny ventriloquist who uses the above pictured puppets! His shows are SOOO FUNNY!!   A few years ago my hubby and parents went to go see him live and the show was GREAT!! I am soooo excited to see him again!!

Well that's all for today friends.  Until next time...

Free Standing Pop Up Card Video


Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to Mrs. Lincolns Inkin and today's Friday Video!!

Earlier this week i posted one of the Free Standing Pop Up Cards and wanted to share with you how they are made.  They are a great little gift to send someone! When folded up they fit into a normal size envelope!!


Then, when your special person receives it, they can stand it up and display it for all to see!!!  Well, let's not delay anymore... on with the video!!!



In case you missed them in the video, here are the dimensions that you are going to need.  A piece of card stock cut at 4 1/4" x 11".  Score that at 1", 2 3/4", 3 3/4", 5 1/2", 7 1/4", 8 1/4", and 10".  For your pop-up piece, the backing piece (I used Basic Black) needs to be cut at 2 1/4" x 5" and for your topper piece (i used Whisper White) needs to be cut at 2" x 4 3/4".

For my featured stamp set today i would like to share the Create A Cupcake set.  It's a super cute set that also has a coordinating punch.  Here is a closer look at the set:
