Hi stampers!! Today's share is a fun interactive card, the Spinner Card. I posted a card like this, with a video tutorial, awhile back, you can view that HERE.
The stamp set that I used today is the Going Global set. It is a great set to get some masculine cards out of. That is what I was aiming for with this card. The DSP, which is measured 4" x 5 1/4" is from the DSP pack It's My Party. I thought it kind of looked like little airplanes:)
Here is a closer look at the Going Global stamp set:

Hi there all, welcome to my little place on the Net, Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!! Today's share is using probably my favorite stamp set right now from the Occasion Catalog, Rose Wonder. I haven't been able to put it down lately. You can purchase the individual stamp set or you can purchase it in a bundle and save 15%. What a deal!!!
Today I used the technique Paper Piecing. It is a great way to give an image a ton of dimension!! I used the coordinating framelits and cut the rose out in Basic Black card stock. I then took and cut it out two more times in the Melon Mambo and Watermelon Wonder card stock. The leaf is actually a separate framelit and that is using the Pear Pizzaz and Cucumber Crush. I love all these colors together!

Hi everyone. Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'. I hope you all had a nice weekend!!
Today's share is of what I call the Divided Panel card. It is a simple card that has a big "WOW" factor to it I think. My base measures average size of 4 1/4" by 11" scored at 5 1/2" and is using the Whisper White. I then chose to use another color, Wisteria Wonder and then my Basic Black which outlines my panels. I randomly stamped my images from the Flower Shop stamp set on a piece of Whisper White measuring 3 3/4" x 5" and then cut them into 1" strips. Positioned them on my Basic Black piece (which is the same size as the Whisper White I used for my images) and then stuck them down. Poof, there is your panel card. Pretty simple.
Here is a look at the Flower Stamp set that I used:

Hi all, how are you today? I hope you are wonderful. Today is a quick post using the Number of Years stamp set and coordinating framelits. I am in LOVE with the bundle. If you purchase this as a bundle, rather then each item individually, you can save 15%. This can be found in the Occasion Catalog right now.
The awesome DSP that I used is also in the Occasion Catalog right now and is called It's My Party. This a 12 x 12 DSP paper pack that has a ton of different designs, all totally awesome!!!
Here is a closer look at the stamp/framelit bundle that I used:

Hi everyone. Welcome to my little space on the Net! Today's share is a card where I used the Reverse Coloring technique on the Vellum Card Stock. This is a fun technique, especially if you really enjoy coloring like I do.
The image that I used is from the stamp set Rose Wonder that is in the Occasion Catalog right now. This technique is best to use on a larger image since you have to use a tool such as your stylus to color the image. So getting into really tiny detail may be a bit tricky.
What you do is take and stamp your image on the front of your Vellum Card Stock. Then, flip your vellum over and begin to color the image on the backside. Once you turn it over you have this really nice pretty white image.
My card measures average size of 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2". I then did some layering using a piece of Basic Black cut at 4" x 5 1/4" and then my vellum is cut at 3 3/4" x 5". I chose to only the Mini Silver Brads in two of the corners and then Glue Dots in the remaining two corners since you wouldn't see those anyway.
Here is a closer look at the stamp set that I used today:
This stamp set you can also get in a bundle so that you get the amazing framelit too. Plus, doing it that way will save you 15%!!!! Click HERE to see that option.

Hi there stampers!! Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!!
Today I thought I would share with you the Thank You cards that I made for my customers. Whenever someone places an order with me (through party or online) I always give them a little hand-made something from me. Just to say thank you.
The In-Colors this year are so awesome, I just love them. My favorite is the Mint Macaron, it goes with sooo many other colors that SU! has to offer. The stamp set that I used is a large greeting stamp from the stamp set Botanicals For You which is in the Sale-A-Bration catalog right now. For every $50 that you spend (before s/h and tax) you get to choose an item from the Sale-A-Bration selection for FREE!!! Here is a closer look at it:
Since my cards today are also highlighting on the awesome In-Colors, I thought I would give you a closer look at those too. I decided to post pictures of the paper, since that give you the best look at the colors:)

Hi there stampers. Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin' and today's card share. I saw a card on Pinterest that gave me the inspiration to make this one. When you think of the window framelit you don't, at least i didn't, ever think about looking inward, it's always looking outside. So I thought I would switch it up.
My card measures average size of 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2". I used the Brick embossing folder for the background of my card and then of course the Hearth & Home Framelits along with my Big Shot. I used my Doilys and created some curtains in the window. Super cute!!!
Then to add that last finishing touch I used my 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch and created some bushes. I love the way it turned out. I decided to use this card as a "Missing You" card. With the greeting in the bottom left-hand corner. I didn't want the greeting to be large since the card was more of a cutesy punch art card... but I didn't want to have no greeting.
The item that I am showcasing today is the Hearth & Home Framelits and the Big Shot. Two FABULOUS products!!!
Well that is all for today my friends. Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to check out the:

Hello Stampers!! Happy Valentines Day to you all!! So, this is my first card share since I have been back in action. I wanted to share a card with you that uses an item that is in the Sale-A-Bration catalog right now that is only available through February 15th. Sale-A-Bration is not ending on February 15th, but there are a few items that are "short term" items. Which the Sky is the Limit stamp set is one of them.
When I see this stamp set I automatically think "masculine", so that is the direction I went. I did add some "bling" though with the Gold Glimmer paper. Of course the item that I am showcasing today is the Sky Is The Limit stamp set:
So, on a side note I wanted to share with you the card that I made for my hubby. I used the Heart Framelits that unfortunetly are retired but I still love them and obviously think that they work great for Valentines Day.
Isn't it cute? Then, I got the cutest surprise for Valentines Day, something that I have been wanting...
I love, love, LOVE breakfast sammy's!!! To me this was the perfect gift. We used it the morning of Valentines Day and they turned out AWESOME!!!! I am in love with it!!! Thank you so much Boo Bear!!!
Well, that is all for my first post! I really hope you all enjoyed! It feels so good to be back in the swing of things again! Until next time...

Hi Stampers!!! So, I still don't have a new card project to share. I am currently awaiting the arrival of the UPS truck to bring me my newest items so that I can get busy creating!! In the mean time I thought I would share with you the newest addition to my crafting space that my hubby built for me... my little "Nook"
I wanted a space in my room that was just for blogging, ordering and (urg) bill paying, lol:) I have my tablet that I use at my crafting desk that allows me to do the things that I need to right from my desk but I hated having my laptop taking up precious space when I was blogging, or having to push things aside to make room for it to post to my blog so, I searched around on Pinerest (am addicted still to that site) and noticed that a lot of people turn their closets into little Nook's. I was so excited. So, my hubby put this little piece of heaven together for me and I love it!!!
It is nothing super, duper fancy but it is perfect for me!! I just love how everything that I need for posting, ordering or what have you is right at my fingertips and all neat and organized. The only thing that I have to get to complete my little Nook is a new chair. Right now I am just using a folding chair which is fine but I think that a different chair will just be the icing on the cake, lol:)
So on a personal level, my little one and my hubby both tested positive yesterday with the flu. Man, is this thing vicious!! It has them both down right now with fevers, chills and upset tummies. So for the past 2 days I have been playing doctor mom. I just feel so bad that my two loves are so sick, makes me cry especially when I look at my little one. She rarely, I mean RARELY ever gets sick and when she does it just breaks my heart.
Well that is my quick post for today friends. I hope that the wonderful man in the brown truck gets here quick so that I can have a share for you soon!!! Until next time...

Wow, well hello stampers. It has been nearly 7 months since my last post. I pretty much fell off the face of the Earth:) A lot has happened to me in the past 7 months, so I thought I would catch you up. First and foremost my Stampin' Up! demo dropped... I was inactive and that is why you didn't see any more posts from me. There were some things that were happening in my life that just didn't allow me time to craft and get creative. However, I AM BACK and under a great new up-line. I am sure you have all heard of her, Dawn Griffith. You can check out her amazing site here. I have been watching her videos for years and get a lot of my inspiration from her. Which if you have watched my videos before I am sure you have heard me mention her. I am so excited to be back with a new up-line and a new look on crafting.
Let's see what else, I have switched jobs... I am now a District Court Clerk here in our county court house in the criminal division. It is a job that I have been longing for ever since getting into the legal field oh so many years ago. I love it there and work with an amazing group of people!!!
The family is all doing well. Our little Emma is 4 now going on 30, lol:) She is a crafter herself and her and I spend A LOT of time in my room. She is really creative and I just love watching her imagination hit the paper. She just amazes me.
So, here is the lowdown on my website. I just (I mean literally just) signed up again with SU! and placed my first order. Therefore, I am looking at a date of February 15th to have my first card share. It may be sooner but this gives me time in case it is not. Until then I will still be posting now and then just to let you all know that I am still here. I appreciate all the kind words and emails that I got when I hadn't posted in awhile, it really meant a lot to know that there are those out there that enjoy my blog on a daily basis. Friday Videos are going to be the next thing to come. Those are hopefully going to come right around the week of the 15th too but those may be another couple weeks behind. I have to build those up again, lol:)
Well that is all for today. I know that you have all probably seen the amazing new Occasion Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Isn't everything in them AMAZING?!?!?!? I am pretty sure that I ordered everything that was offered. Man I have really missed the product!! If you by chance haven't seen them then check them out. You can click on the pictures of the catalog fronts on the right of my webpage.
Thanks all for stopping by today and until next time... (I have missed saying that too)
