Passing The Torch~

Today I am bidding farwell to my time as the Pink Torchbearer for Amber Ink! It has been an amazing month and I have had so much fun representing the pink team, hanging out in the (th)ink tank with the other awesome September torchbearers!

 It's been a joy and a pleasure working with Amber and Pam! They are brilliant, witty, generous, and just plain FABULOUS! :) Seriously, I would hid my torch and carry on if I wasn't passing it to such a mega talented chick. Drum roll please....... Carrying the Amber Ink torch for team pink is none other then the crafty genius Sarah Gough of THinkING STAMPS! I have been a big fan of her work for a long time and I have to admit that I almost fell out of my chair when she agreed to catch the torch from me! I can't wait to see what she creates for us in October. I know that we are all in for a real treat! Run Sarah Run, may your torch burn brightly! :)

The Last Lap~

This month has flown by in a blur! I can't believe that I am nearing the end of my time as the Amber Ink Pink Torchbearer (sobbing). Tomorrow I will reveal the ultra amazing lady who will be catching the torch, it'll knock your socks off! For today let's take a look at all of the amazing things I was able to create with Amber Ink's absolutely incredible digi stamps and iPaper.

I have had so much fun playing with the amazing Amber Ink products and playing along side all of the talented ladies! Do yourself a favor and stop by Amber Ink. There is a recap for each of the September Torchbearers. So much eye candy, so little time. You won't be sorry you did! :)

Amber Ink Sets My Heart A Flutter~

Alas, all good things must come to and end, and my time as an Amber Ink torch bearer is quickly coming to a close. Boo Hoo! Before the month is over I have one last card to share with you featuring a fantastic Amber Ink image and drool worthy iPaper. Go ahead, drool! It's iPaper, you can always print more! ;)

The layout of this dynamic little card is based on The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #136. This sketch is seriously adorable and makes me want to go back for a second helping!

The details for this card are pretty straight forward. I used a heaping spoonful of iPapers, a pinch of Copic Markers, and a dash of Stickles. I stirred them together with my Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle Nestie and added a touch of SU! white organdy ribbon and topped it with a dallop of a seam binding rose. Oh, yeah it's pretty enough to eat! ;) Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget there is still time to enter into my BLOGOVERSARY BLOG CANDY!

Rainy Days and Mondays~

Today's post is brought to us by the letter "C", as in caffeination. Yes, I need copious amounts of it today to stay awake. We had a bad night at Casa del Herbert. Alas, even that will not keep me from sharing the Amber Ink project that I created for this week. 

I am not sure where Amber girl is strolling off to but, I do know that not even the rain will stop her from enjoying her day. In fact I think she is in such a lovely mood that she is looking forward to the rain. As you may have guessed I colored her in with Copics and cut her out. She is sitting upon layers of SU! cardstock and gorgeous iPaper. A little machine stitching, a vintage button, and two felt clouds complete the ensemble. I can't believe that the month is more then half over. Let's see how many more Amber Ink projects I can share before it's over. I have had so much fun as the Pink Torchbearer. If I hid my torch in the closet do you think they would still make me pass it on? LOL! Be back later with more crafty goodness.

Totally Paper Crafts- Clean & Simple #84

Sew Crafty~

I was thinking to myself the other day as I was creating this fantabulous little card that crafting and friends are like peas and carrots. Some of my bestest friends are the ones that I connect with through crafting. It's an awesome way to share and connect.

Check out this gorgeous girl from Amber Ink. She is hot off of the press. Don't ya just love new digis? I know I sure do! I colored her in with my Copic Markers (are you getting tired of me saying that?). You may also notice the iPaper. It's fun and fabulous and I can print as many sheets as I need since it's digital. Talk about making your crafting $ go farther! LOVE IT! The ribbon is SU! and the flowers are Prima. Thanks for stopping by! TTFN~

Set My Heart A Flutter~

Good Morning all. Thanks so much for stopping by. Today I have another card featuring the brilliant digi's and iPaper from Amberink. If you haven't checked out their stuff you really should go window shopping. :)

This lovely little card is about as basic as it gets but, I just felt that the Amberink products were so adorable they didn't need more. Plus, sometimes you just want to make a nice, easy card. This baby did the trick. I started by punching out scallop squares of SU! cardstock that matched my iPaper. Then I cut the sentiment out with my CM oval cutter. I just adore that sentiment. It's just so sweet! I colored it in with Copics and added 3 little silver Making Memories brads just because I could. I finshed my card off with a sheer brown length of ribbon from Offray. Oh, I almost forgot that I inked the edges with Close to Cocoa ink and a sponge. Hope you like it! That's about all I have for now. Have a fantastic day! TTFN~

Rain, Rain~

Even though it was August when I made this lovely little card featuring Amber Ink's brilliant stamps and ipaper I was inspired. Why you ask? Well, because it was grey and gloomy outside. That really didn't seem to dampen the spirits of this Amber Girl. She knows that she looks super smart in her yellow rubba boots.  She is singin' in the rain. :)

I colored her in with Copics (today she felt like a brunette ;) ), including the puddle. Said puddle also got a nice coating of Crystal effects for gloss and effect. Amber Girl is popping off of the card courtesy of dimensionals. The corners of this super fun ipaper were punched with my SU! Ticket Corner Punch, making it fun and fancy. I added a double scallop circle cut from my nesties. The sassy little sentiment is layered on a MFT Bracket Tab Die-namic. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out the Amber Ink blog and treat yourself to fabulous projects created by the September torchbearers. You won't be disappointed!
