Secret Garden Sneek Peek

WELCOME BACK!!! I am so glad that you stopped by today! Today's card is using another stamp set that is going to be available in the new Spring Catalog (starting January 3rd).  Have i mentioned how much i love this new catalog? I don't think that there is one thing in there that i don't just absolutely love!!  Which isn't anything new but still.  Interested in purchasing a Spring Catalog so that you can get your "wish list" all ready for the 3rd?  Well, contact me HERE today to place your order today!!

The set used above is a beautiful floral set called Secret Garden, i just love floral sets!  To color in my flowers i used my Water Colored Pencils and my Aqua Pen and then sponged around them with some Old Olive Ink.  I didn't want my card to be too "busy" because i didn't want anything to take away from the Boldness of my flowers.

Today's product that i am featuring is the Water Colored Pencils! I don't use these a ton (sniff, sniff) but should really get into them more because they are so much fun to use!!

Hope you all enjoyed today and until next time....

Just for You

Whoa, what a morning friends! Have you ever had those morning where you are soooo confy in bed that you think that for whatever reason if you just close your eyes for five more minutes the universe is going to realize how comfy you are and just magically stop time?  Well that is the morning that i had this morning. All snuggled up with my baby girl hoping that every time i hit the "snooze" button (whomever invented that should be shot, lol) that time wouldn't of changed from last time. Sadly that wasn't the case and when i finally did roll out of bed..... let's just say it was rush, rush, rush, lol:)

Today's card is a very simple card that i made using the Papillan Potourri Stamp set and matching Elegant Butterfly Punch. This stamp set and punch are just amazing. The punch actually punches out the image right up to the line.  Meaning that you don't have that white ridge around your image.  I used Copic markers to color my butterflies, i only used 2 colors to blend with instead of 3 (see list below for color numbers).

Today's featured items are the Papillan Potourri Stamp Set and the Elegant Butterfly Punch:

Well all, hope you enjoyed today's simple Just for You card! Until next time...

Secret Money Holder Card

Hello Bloggers, welcome back to Mrs. Linoln's Inkin'! Today i wanted to share this card with you that i made using the fabulous Festival of Prints DSP that is still available HERE in the Holiday Mini Catalog. This pack of paper is so cute!! I just love it! The paper pack measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" so it is great to use for back pieces to your card seems how it is closer to the size of an average card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

The fun and unique thing about this card is that it isn't just a card, it is actually a secret money holder! Where you ask? Well....

The front part of the card pulls out and you are able to fit a single bill in there. If you were to widen the front panel, used above in the Lucky Limeade you could also fit a gift card in there. 

My card measures at average size with the panel measuring at 4 3/8" x 2 5/8". The DSP to cover it is measured at 4 1/8" x 2 1/2". I then used my 1 3/8" Circle Punch to punch out a 3/4" moon so that you could pull the tag out. The tag is made out of the Two Tags Die.

Today's featured project is the Festival of Prints DSP, i just can't say enough of this small paper pack. It is absolutely wonderful!!

Well, hope you enjoyed and until next time....

Today's card is an average size card measuring at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and that is all the dimensions that there is for this card. Pretty easy to remember huh?  Well lets take a look at this awesome technique shall we....

4 Square Christmas Card

Good morning all, welcome back!!  Today's card is a nice, simple, clean Christmas card.  Using the new (to me) stamp set Happy Hour and my Dazzling Diamonds in the Cherry Cobbler i was able to turn this card into a 3D image.  Accenting each glass with a... holly leaf gave it that little bit of extra piece of festivity don't you think? 

The card measures as always at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" with the Real Red squares measuring at 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" and the Whisper White squares at 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". 

Can you guess what today's featured product item is going to be?  You are sooo smart, yup it is the fabulous set Happy Hour!!

This set is so much fun! I love how it has so many different uses! Christmas, a party invitation, birthday... summer pool-side card.. oh my the options are endless!!!

Hope you enjoyed!:) Until next time...

Thinking of You

Hello all, happy hump day!!  A quick and easy card today.  You can never have enough "Thinking of You" cards around.  They are a go to when a friend/family member is having a rough time, someone is recovering from an illness or just a way to let someone know that they were on your mind. 

Today's card is an average card measuring at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  I used the Petal Boarder Embossing Folder (i love this folder) and the new In-Color Adornments that i just received in the mail the other day! They are so awesome!!

Today's featured stamp set that i want to share is the Bright Blossoms set. This set can be used with buttons, jewels... pretty much anything you want to accent the flowers like i did above.  This is another one of my new sets but i can already tell that it is going to be one of my many favorites!!



Well i hope you enjoyed today's quick post.  Until next time...

Birthday Wishes Tier

Happy Monday friends and welcome back!  I hope you all had a great weekend!

Today's card is another 3 Tier birthday card. I just love the 3 Tier card which i am sure i have mentioned about a million or more times:)!!  I did a video of this kind of card a month or so again. To see that, click HERE.  The only difference between this card and a normal 3 Tier card that i have done is that on the top layer of the Whisper White i left it blank, i didn't stamp it as part of the layer's and then i decorated it separately.

Today's stamp set that i want to highlight is the Blooming with Kindness Set. What a beautiful set!  The flower in it is just so pretty and unique i think:)

I hope you all enjoyed and i hope that you come back and visit soon!! Until next time....

Hang in There

Hello bloggers, happy Saturday!!! So, one of my absolute favorite animals in the world is a Monkey! I just think that they are sooo awesome and one day i hope to own one (a battle i don't think my hubby will let me win, hehe). 

For today's card i used the stamp set Silly Monkey, made by the Paper Studio. It is such a cute set and has lots of images to choose from!  I free handed my tree using Soft Suede Card Stock and then used my sponges and sponged Bashful Blue ink for my sky!   For my tree leaves i used my 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch, brushed the edges with some Wild Wasabi ink and then placed them where i thought they looked good as leaves!

For today's featured stamp.... you guessed it, it is Silly Monkey stamp set by Paper Studio.

Isn't it adorable? I just love it!! Well, i hope you enjoyed today's card.  Until next time...
