Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Me and My Snowman

Happy Monday Friends! It's a busy Monday of challenges and inspiration posts so let's get started. Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor is the sweet Star Stampz. My DT project today features the adorable Me and My Snowman digital image, provided by our generous sponsor.

This is such a sweet image and I love snowmen, this little girl is precious too! I've created a 5.5" square card, colored the image using Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Markers and the patterned papers are from the Time for Tea Designs "Joyful Winter" 6x6 paper pad.

The panel and layer have been die cut using the Diagonal Stitched Square Nesting Dies from My Favorite Things. The sentiment was computer generated and added to the image prior to printing. Lastly, I've used Crystal Stickles Glitter Glue on her Hat Brim and Pom Pom.

Please join us at the Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge, we would love to see what you've created. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Exotic Orchids at Pammie's Inky Pinkies

Hello and Happy Monday! It's a busy Monday around the blog today. It's the 1st Monday of the month and I have 3 team posts for you today so let's get started!

Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. Our sponsor this week is the generous Varada Sharma Designs and for my team project, I've colored the Exotic Orchids digital stamp using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Markers.

This is a gorgeous digi stamp that would be great for a slimline or mini slimline card, however I chose to go Clean and Simple with a standard A2 sized card.

I'm not certain if Purple Orchids exist but purple is my favorite color so I went with it. The sentiment is included in this digi set, I did free hand draw the pebbles in the vase. I also love using my "old skool" corner punches and wanted to add a bit more visual interest to the card. Lastly, I've added lilac gems for sparkle and shine!

Please stop in at Pammie's this week to see what my teamies created and link up your project! Until next time, Happy Crafting!

3-D Paper Pumpkin at Pammie's Inky Pinkies

Hello Friends and Happy Monday! Today starts a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

For my design team project, I've used the 3-D Pumpkin Template and Cutting File kindly provided by our sponsor. I have an electronic cutting machine so I chose to use the SVG file for the pumpkin pieces but you do not need a cutting machine. You can trace the template provided in the set and hand cut the pieces.

I wanted a very full pumpkin so I cut the Pumpkin base and 12 half pieces. I used various patterned papers from a 12x12 paper stack from Jen Hadfield and snippets of colored card for the leaves, stem and tendril.

This 3-D pumpkin is the medium cut size; the set includes a small and large pumpkin template also. My project measures approximately 8" in total height. I think I will create a large and small one to compliment this pumpkin and display on my sofa table.

Please stop by Pammie's to see what my teammates have created and be inspired. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Creep It Real

Hi Friends and Happy Monday! Today begins a new challenge round at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. Pammie is offering a gift voucher to My Favorite Things so you'll want to stop by and play along.

For my project, I've used patterned papers and ephemera from the Echo Park "Spooky" collection. I've also followed a sketch from Kendra's Card Challenges.

This card was created during the 1st night of Hurricane Ian. I needed something to focus on and something that didn't require a lot of preparation, in case we lost electricity.

I had the paper pad and ephemera in my stash so I thought creating Halloween cards just following sketches and cutting paper was safe enough.

The Spooky Collection has lots of cute ephemera and papers. The only bells and whistles added were some iridescent sequins to break up the otherwise drab tones. I love the pop of color with the Skeleton's Bow Tie.

Please visit us this week at the challenge blog, we would love to have you! Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday! I trust your weekend was fabulous and you had time to do soemthing you enjoy. It's time for a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor this week is Beccy's Place. For my team project this round, I've colored a digital image from the Autumn Blessing Digital Set provided by our sponsor.

This is such a lovely Autumn image and I've colored it using alcohol markers. I've kept the design very sweet and simple, allowing the image to take center stage.

Not many bells & whistles added however I did add 3 gold gems from Kat Scrappiness and the sentiment is from a Simons Says Stamp sentiment strip pack, containing Thanksgiving and Autumn related sentiments.

Please join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week and enter your lovely, creative projects. We would love to visit with you and see what loveliness you create. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Birds

Hello and Happy Last Monday of August. This is also the 5th Monday of the month which signals a themed challenge at the Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge.

Our theme this week is Birds and there is a Gift Voucher up for grabs from Power Poppy. For my team project, I've created a Twisted Easel Christmas Card using the Season of Serenity Digital Stamp from Power Poppy. The Holiday Season is fast approaching so no time like the present to get started on those Christmas Cards.

To start, I've printed the image on Canson Mixed Media paper in order to watercolor. The mixed media paper is medium weight, handles water great and my printer does not struggle to print on it. Using my Staedtler Watercolor pencils, I've colored the image and splattered the panel with gold watercolor paint.

I've created mats using patterned paper, die cut the focal image and sentiment using dies from Cheery Lynn Designs which were purchased via Amazon. I've adhered the mats and focal panel flat while popping up the sentiment in order to act as a "stopper".

I tire of creating the standard top folding cards in Landscape and Portrait orientations but rarely have time to create fun folds or rather I should say I don't take the time to sit still and create them. Easel and Twisted Easels create a lovely presentation and are quick to make.

Join us at the challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week, we would love to see your Bird-inspired projects. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Turkey Day with Lawn Fawn

Hello! It's time for a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor this challenge round is Lawn Fawn. For my team project, I felt like going with an Autumn Holiday theme. It will be Thanksgiving here in 3 months so it's time to switch gears and start those Autumn projects.

I've created a simple Easel fold card using the Lawn Fawn Turkey Day Mini Stamp Set. and papers from Alina Crafts.

The turkey has been colored using Prismacolor Pencils. The focal image and circle mats were cut using nesting circle dies, the colored circles were also embossed with a small basketweave pattern.

The turkey was looking lonely and needed something so I looked through my die cut basket and found a sunflower I cut using the Cricut last year. I added it to the design as an afterthought and now wonder if I should have left it off. It's on there now so hopefully Mr. Gobble approves.

Please join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week! We would love to have you join in the fun.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Narly Mermaid

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back! It's a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor this challenge is Newton's Nook. For my team project, I've created a fun card using the Narly Mermaids Stamp set from Newton's Nook (this set may now be retired as I was unable to find it in the shop). I did locate it at The Frantic Stamper HERE.

To create my card, I started by stamping the little images included in the stamp set to create a background panel. I decided to keep the panel black and white. I've die cut an oval panel using a die from Alina Crafts and stenciled using the Waves Stencil from Sugar Pea Designs and Distress Oxide Inks.

To give the water scene more interest, I've splattered the panel lightly with water. Distress Oxide Inks are water reactive, so the results were "bubbles". After the oval was dry, I stamped the sentiment directly to the die cut and weaved Baker's Twine through the fancy scalloped edge.

The mermaid was colored using alcohol markers and has been adhered flat to the panel. The panel has been popped on craft foam for dimension and clear sequins added for additional "bubbles".

Please join in the fun at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week...you just may be a winner!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Biker Gnomie

Hi Friends! Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor is the adorable Polkadoodles. This weeks' theme is Anything Goes and I've used the Motorcycle Tattoo Biker Gnome from the Gnome for Men Collection to create a fun masculine card.

My hubby is a Biker and I try to find fun biker images to use for his birthday cards. When I was given the opportunity to use this image, I was very happy because this will be his birthday card and now I'm ahead of the game!

The image has been colored with alcohol makers and I've stenciled a sky with clouds using the clouds stencil from My Favorite Things and Catherine Pooler Ink.

The patterned paper and graphic prints are from a digital pack of papers and clip art purchased 4 years ago from Scrapbookingdom on Etsy. The set is titled Motorbike Mania and it's jammed pack with biker images and scrapbook layouts. The clip art was printed on 110 lb. card and fussy cut. The focal panel has been cut using a distressed edge die and popped on craft foam for dimension. No bells and whistles have been added however I did add Glossy accents to the Biker Gnomies' sunglasses for a bit of realism.

Please join us at Pammie's this week and enter your project for a chance to win a prize package from Polkadoodles. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Snowboardin'

Happy 4th of July to you and welcome back! Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor this round is the generous Sheepski Designs. For my design team project, I've colored the Snowboardin' Image No. 164 using alcohol markers.

I love snowman images, I collect them so it was a treat to use this image. Although this isn't a holiday card in particular, I've used it so I can say Happy Christmas in July!

The papers are from the Doodlebug "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad and the sentiment was computer generated by me. The focal panel was die cut using an oval die and popped on craft foam for dimension. For the finishing touch, I've added light blue gems for that extra bit of sparkle.

Please visit and join in the challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. We love seeing all the entries and appreciate the participation! Until next time, Happy Crafting!

I've colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and used Gamsol for blending. I've cut the panel with a Stitched Rectangle Die from Kat Scrappiness and backed with a gray mat.

To give the sky some color, I masked the images and lightly blended the background with Catherine Pooler It's a Boy blue ink. The sentiment is actally a sticker that I've left on the backing and popped on craft foam.

Happy Birthday Blast

Hello All and Happy Monday! I trust your weekend was lovely and you did something you love. Here it was stormy, hot and humid. Today the forecast is a bit of the same so we shall see.

Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. Our sponsor this round is Sheepski Designs and for my team project, I've used the Retro Rocket digital image to create a Birthday Card.

I've colored the images with Alcohol Markers, then masked them to ink the background with shades of blue Catherine Pooler Inks. CP inks are also water reactive, so I've added water splatters to get that outer space look and feel.

I originally printed the sentiment on the card but didn't like how it looked once I inked the panel. To cover up the sentiment and prevent having to create another card panel, I've used a label maker to create the sentiment. It's ok..the strips always look blurry in photos but it will work in a pinch.

Please join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week and enter your projects for an opportunity to win a prize from our sponsor Sheepski Designs.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Awesome Chick

Hello and Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed their Mother's Day yesterday and if you're not in the US and celebrated Mother's Day yesterday, I hope you had a lovely day anyway. My eldest son took me to lunch and then for ice cream afterwards, it was great to spend time with him and enjoy his sense of humor.

Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with a theme of Anything Goes. Our generous sponsor this round is Jan's Digi Stamps and I've had the pleasure of using an image from the Awesome Chick Digital Set for my card.

This chick just makes me smile, I think it's the adorable eyes and face. I've colored the scene with alcohol markers and die cut the focal panel with a frilled edge die from Crafter's Companion.

The sentiment is included in this digi set and I've die cut using an oval die, the focal panel was trimmed with gingham ribbon and popped on craft foam prior to adhering to card base. To finish off the design, I've added enamel dots from Kat Scrappiness.

Please join us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies, we would love to see your Anything Goes projects. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Happy Monday! I trust your weekend was lovely and I hope you had some Crafting Time. Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with the theme of Anything Goes. Our Sponsor this round is the generous CAS_ual Friday's and for my design team project, I've used the stamp set "Floating" with a lovely hot air balloon but I fear this set may now be retired. Never fear however, CAS_ual Friday's has lots of lovely sets on offer.

To start, I created a background using Dylusions Ink Sprays on watercolor card. I spritzed the card with water to make the paper moist and then sprayed with 2 coordinating colors of Dylusions Ink Sprays; a blue and green.

After completely dry, I treated the watercolor panel with antistatic powder, then heat embossed the image and sentiment using fine detail white powder. To finish the design, I've added White Rhinestones from Kat Scrappiness.

Please visit the Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge Blog and share your lovely projects with us. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
