Snow Buddies

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today to share a card I created using Inkon3’s stamp set named, Artic Buddies. The weather is getting a bit chilly and I'm so ready to break out all my wintery stamps (not that you really need that as a reason to do so).

Artic Buddies was actually one of the stamp sets that led me to discover Inkon3 because of the adorable critters so it was about time I created something with it.

For today's card, I decided to go with a simple scene using the polar bear duo. I stamped out everything using Blackout ink and created masks for them. I wanted them hanging out in the ocean right before sunset.

By masking everything off, I was able to create a background using all distress inks. I love how easy ocean scenes are because you're just able to mark off a horizon and use different colors to create the effect. To add a little bit of texture into the ocean, I used a couple markers in swipes.
I’ve had this set for awhile now and it’s about time I use it. I hope you get inspired to create! 

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon! 

Platy-rific Planner Layout

Hello Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 Creative Team here to show you a Platy-rific Planner layout using the adorable critters in the Platy-rific Pondies stamp set!



First I used some distress oxide inks to make a blue-sky background. I used broken china and tumbled glass.

Next, I stamped the cattails, ducks, beaver, and platypus onto sticker paper using the Blackout Detail Hybrid Ink. Once I've given the images a little bit of time to dry, I colored and fussy cut the images. Then I placed them around the bottom of my pages plus I had the platypus holding a balloon floating away on the left side of the page.

I die-cut some grass using green patterned paper to add to the bottom of the page and used a tape runner to adhere it. On the top-left of the page I wrote the month in cursive and then the year on the top right.

I used a straight edge to extend the "tail" at the end of the month until it was close to the year. Then I drew 6 squares and wrote in the day of the week and date, and added a stitched detail inside the box.

I felt like it still needed a little something. The Platy-rific Pondies Stamp set has so many cool extras to make your card or planner layout more festive! I stamped some confetti directly into my planner using the Blackout Detail Hybrid Ink. Because I stamped directly into my planner, I used gel pens to color them in. The colors are vibrant but it won't bleed through the paper.

Isn't this such a fun and festive planner layout! These Pondies are the cutest!

Fall Blessings

Hello Friends, Ilda here from I Love Doing All things crafty.

In a few days it will be Fall officially. Spring and Fall are definitely my favorite seasons of the year. I think it may have to do with how short the seasons are here in Canada and how quickly the leaves change everywhere. I love the warm colors of Fall and they are the inspiration for my card today.

CARD DETAILS

I began by stamping the images out using Blackout Ink and masking the beaver from the Platy-rific Pondies in the center of the card I then die cut a mask for it so that I could add the leaves around him using the die from Platy-rific Pondies Coordinating dies. Since the die cuts leave a white space around the stamp, I later will connect any lines afterward to finish the image.

For the pile of leaves, I used leaves from Heels To You and the Poinsettia set. I also die cut a few of each using the dies from the coordinating sets Heels To You and Poinsettia. Behind the beaver I also stamped out some pond greens that also come from the Platy-rific Pondies set.

To color these images in I used Copic markers. Under the pile of leaves, I stamped out the script blessings from the Blessings set using Blackout Ink.

Once the coloring was complete I die cut the panel using a Rectangle Stitched Die Frame and glued onto a Kraft Cardstock panel that I eventually glued on my card base.

Next, I die cut the letters out for "HAPPY FALL" using the Phat Alphanumeric Dies. To color them in I stuck them to the sticky side of a strip of washi tape to hold them in place while I colored them in using Copics.

I then used foam tape to pop the letters onto the card front. Next, I used a water brush pen filled with Liquid Pixie Dust to paint the shine onto each letter. Once it was dry I added a layer of glossy accents to seal in the sparkly shine and make them look like bubble letters.

Hope this cute Fall Blessings card inspired you to stretch out your stamps by pulling elements as I have with this card to create a totally different scene other then what the stamp sets were initially designed for.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Bright Magical Unicorn No-Line colouring with Erica

Hi everyone! *waves excitedly*

Erica here with my first blog post on the Inkon3 blog as part of the design team! I’m so, so excited about working for this fab company. I’ve been such a fan of Fleurette’s magical Fadeout No Line Coloring ink since I first got my hands on it and to be asked to join the Inkon3 DT was a dream come true.

Right, I’m going to dive right in with the details of my card for today’s post! I’ve used the Magical Unicorn stamp set, paired with Fadeout ink and Zig Clean Color markers to create a bright and sparkly unicorn.

To start with, I stamped up the image with the help of my Mini MISTI. I use the MISTI whenever I stamp anything, just in case I feel it needs another stamp or two. To make sure I could really see the outlines of this stamp, I stamped it three times with the Fadeout ink.

Then it was colouring time! As I wanted a bright and vivid look, I added hardly any water to the Zig’s. Especially on the mane-bit. I did have to use some on the ears and the face and body, but that’s one of the brilliant things of the Zigs. You can get so many different looks just by adding water or just blending them without any water at all.

As the mane is so bright and colourful, I decided to keep the flowers all white and only add Liquid Pixie Dust to them. This is some serious sparkly stuff! If you are looking for something that will add sparkled to your projects, don’t look any further!

I used the dropper to get a couple of drops out, I use a tile as a palette as it’s easy to clean off, and then used the medium water colour brush to fill in the flowers. Once throughly covered I set this aside to dry to overnight to avoid any colours or Pixie Dust to get where it’s not supposed to. I’m over-cautious after having had one too many projects ruined by smudging ink, colour or something else because it wasn’t fully dry.

Coming back to the card the next day, I settled on a sentiment and heat embossed that with Chrome Ultra Fine embossing powder. Before I did anything embossing wise, I used my anti-static tool all over the image, except over the Pixie Dust flowers. I figured if a few stray silver bits went on them it would only make them more sparkly.

With the help of my Mini MISTI again, I stamped up the sentiment ‘Hugs, Kisses and Unicorn Wishes’ with Embossing ink and then sprinkled the embossing powder over it. A quick swish with the heat gun and a card base later, the card was done!

I have a video of the colouring coming to my YouTube channel soon, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to see how I coloured the Magical Unicorn.

That’s it from me this time. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have found some inspiration here today! See you soon again!

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Thinking of You Roses

Hello my fabulous friends! 

Kassi here, with a project featuring a beautiful stamp, no line coloring, and little sparkle... 

I can't say that I have a favorite flower... there are just too many amazing flowers to pick one... but I will say that roses hold the most memories for me. My grandma had beautiful roses lining the walkway to her front door... We would walk through them just to smell them and see all the pretty colors. 

She died when I was 11, and that rose garden were never the same... but to this day, when I smell roses, I think of her, and it makes me my heart happy.

Big Bold Magnolias - No Line Coloring

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Inkon3’s new release with the amazing stamp set named, Big Bold Magnolias along with the coordinating dies. If you didn't hop along with us during our blog hop, you definitely should check it out because there have been some fabulous projects using this set!

I previously had created two other cards using this set, but I just had to pull it out again to create another one. This time, I decided to take on some no-line coloring. Inkon3 has the fabulous Fadeout ink for no-line coloring. To start, I went ahead and stamped out all the images from the set, except for the largest magnolia. The last two projects, I had focused on the largest one so this time, I wanted to pay attention to the rest of the images from the set. 

Once I had stamped them out, I went in with some purple copic markers. For me, it's easiest to lay down the darkest color first so I know where all the shadows lay. I'll then work out to my lightest color. 

I tend to fussy cut a lot but for no-line coloring images, I prefer using the coordinating dies. It leaves that really nice white border so it really makes the images pop. 

For the background, I just did a few washes of purple watercolor. Nothing very fancy at all. I did keep the watercolor at the bottom left of the card where I have the flowers laid out. Before glueing my flowers down, I added some gold splatter. 

I wanted to tie in my gold splatter, so I decided to use the Juicy ink to cover a piece of white cardstock and added Gold Rush embossing powder. By doing this, I could use the standalone "Beautiful" sentiment from Heels to you die set. For the coordinating sentiment, I stamped the "You're" with Juicy ink and heat embossed with the Gold Rush embossing powder so everything matched up.

I hope you enjoyed this card I shared today and make sure to pick up your set too! This is so gorgeous and so fun to color!
