Celebrate You

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  I'm sure my whole week will seem "off" this week as my kiddos were sick today and we stayed home from church.  You know how it is when you miss that week "marker" whatever it may be, the rest of the days just never seem to be the right day!  I'll probably keep thinking each day is Thursday or something, lol! 

I am going to share a card with you that I made with the "leftovers" from this rainbow card that I posted the other day.

On my previous card, I made a rainbow with glittery pieces of cardstock cut from the Lil' Inkers rainbow die.  For this card I took those leftover pieces and used them as a design element.  This card is for my husband and so I wanted to stick with a masculine theme while still getting away with some glittery goodness!! :)  And, since I knew that my husband probably wouldn't appreciate a ribbon or bow too much I used some of my FAVORITE twine in the world, and the BEST twine too if I do say so myself, from The Twinery!

I attached the twine through the frame by punching tiny holes through the frame and threading one strand of the Maraschino twine through the holes.  The frame is popped up on pop dots so that it lays flat.  I really like how the frame and the twine and the rainbow pieces all work together!

I'm entering this card in two challenges.  The first one is for Crazy 4 Challenges C4C92, which is a new one for me.  Their theme this week was to make a card that uses twine, floss, string, etc on a card. 

The 2nd challenge is Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge #60 to create a card with a party theme.

Thank you for stopping by!! I hope you enjoyed this card!

Sunshine & Rainbows

Hello!  I have a sunshiny card to share with you today! 

This is my dad's Father's day card!  I know! Not quite "traditional" but I think it is a fun card!  I made both the rainbow and clouds glittery.  I really like how that turned out and I just LOVE how the clouds are perforate around the edge!



Of course I had to add some of The Twinery's yellow Lemondrop twine which worked perfectly with the bright rainbow colors!  I also made an embossed polka dot background on the kraft cardstock.  Both the panel and clouds are popped up with pop dots.

As one final detail I rounded the bottom corner to stay consistent with the shape of the clouds.

I based this card on a Clean & Simple sketch from several weeks ago #139.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful weekend!!

New Rings Added

Hello everyone!! I have new rings added to my Etsy shop, Jen's Ink Spot!  I shared with you earlier in the week a sneak peek and I am now officially sharing those with you today that are now in my shop!

The rings above are all resin rings that I hand poured and colored.  I hope to have more colors available at a later date.  These rings are all adjustable and fit fingers size 6 and up.

I also uploaded quite a few new button rings too!  Here's a look:

Sneak Peek

I am super excited about this post!! I have been working on a new item for my Etsy Shop, Jen's Ink Spot, for several weeks now and wanted to share a sneak peek with you! Actually, it has been more like a year since I originally put a ring like this together, lol, but I wasn't happy with my original attempt all those months ago and didn't pursue it any further.  But then, as I began seeing more and more cabochons around, and LOVING them, I decided to give it another try and this is what the result was (I am STILL working on perfecting the technique):

Here's a group picture of them!  These are adjustable size rings so one size fits most!  When I add them to my shop you will be able to purchase the ring that you see pictured as they will not have to be made to size like the button rings (don't worry, I will still have lots of button rings too!). 

Here's a little closeup of a few of them.  The ring bases are all different and range from silver, to copper to brass. 

Here's my favorite of the group:

Love this one lots!! Isn't that flower so pretty?  And the color turned out gorgeous!!

  

I hand made those flowers on the rings! I love it!! But, let me tell you, I had A LOT more bad flowers than I had good ones! I hope I can "get" it soon and they will all turn out perfect!

These aren't in my Etsy shop yet, but they will be in the next few days hopefully (unless they are all purchased before then).    I am trying to get more made and hope to list these by the end of the week! If you'd like to check out what I currently have in my Etsy shop, click here!

Thanks for stopping by!
