Biker Bunny Birthday Card inkon3 Clear Stamps

Hi, Fleurette here today, I had so much fun creating this card for a dear friends birthday. She loves motorcycling, so I thought this would be perfect for her!  
To create this card I used the Biker Bunnies & Phat Alpha Numeric clear stamp sets by Inkon3.com and the amazing Blackout Ink that works perfect for Copics as it's waterproof, plus it a super rich black, dries to the touch instantly too!  So no smearing Yay!!! 


I Copic colored all the images, then fussy cut them out,  I then glued the bunny and chick on the motorcycle. I added some foam tape to the back to give dimension and they happily popped a wheelie!   I added the heart balloon from the Snow Buddies clear stamp set and  Happy Birthday sentiment from the Lilac Dreams clear stamp set I love the sentiments on this set and the flower is always fun to use as well. 
I have to admit, she was delighted to get such a personalized card :) 

This would make a great guy card too, by just coloring the jacket a different color. 
Great for Fathers Day too as there is a Happy Fathers Day sentiment on the Biker Bunny set too! 

Thanks for "hopping" in!

You're A Gem...

I have another card to share from the new release over at InkOn3. These new products are so darn cute and so fun to play with! I know you're gonna love them as well. So, let's get started. 
There's a bundle price as of this posting, and you are not gonna want to miss out!


So, lets get to my project for today. I knew when I saw this release I wanted to make a slider card. I mean, come on, these guys are just adorable! So I chose the dragons with their noses pointed down a bit and stamped them out using our Blackout ink. This is great ink! Very black, dries VERY fast, doesn't smear and doesn't stain! I then colored them using my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.


I cut a front panel of white card stock and used a stencil from my stash and lightly inked on some pale blue ink. I did a second one the same so when I die cut the slider channel it looked the same below. I used a die from Ellen Hutson to cut my channel. I then positioned the two slider elements from MFT in the channel, added a tiny scrap of cardstock above and below the sliders, and glued using Glossy Accents, and then glued the dragon to the top of that. You have to add the bits of cardstock or the slider elements would fall right out of the channel, as they are smaller. That cardstock holds them from just falling out. 


I then stamped out several of the gems and colored them in gem colors, lol. I cut them out, brushed some sparkle pen over the tops, and coated in Glossy Accents so they looked more real. I "piled" them up using foam tape so it looks like the dragon is diving right in! 
I then positioned the other dragon as if he's curious about what's going on, and used foam tape to  adhere in place. 
I stamped the sentiment into a banner end and added some glitter paper to ground it a bit. I used that same glitter paper to back the front panel. It's a pad I found at Hobby Lobby, I believe.  I added the sentiment with foam tape as well. 

I wanted some "gems" to scatter around but didn't have colors I wanted. So, I pulled out the crystal clear ones and stuck several to a piece of tape to hold in place. I then pulled out alcohol markers in the colors I wanted and colored them. Left them to dry for just a bit. A cool trick if you ever need to know! Works great. 


How fun is this card? He slides right down into a pile of brightly colored gems! And his buddy is checking it all out, lol. I scattered the gems around and glued in place using my Art Glitter Glue. I love that adhesive! I added the glitter paper to the back of the front panel and added the entire piece to an A2 sized card base. I use Neenah 110 pound cardstock. It's nice and heavy. 

So there you have it! What do you think? Cute, huh! It's so fun making him slide up and down. It's one of those style cards that the recipient will get a big smile from. My fellow DT sister, Ilda, is a genius at these kind of cards. She's such an inspiration to me! Check her out, I Love Doing All Things Crafty, is her blog.

To finish this off, I added Glossy Accents to their eyes, and set aside to completely dry. 

I hope you got a bit of inspiration today. Maybe give it a go at an interactive card of your own. They are really fun. For me, it just takes really planning it out and how to make it work. Not really that hard, just takes a bit more thought. And visit Ilda's blog, she has great ideas for you!

Head over to InkOn3 and check out all the new stuff. Get in on the bundle price while you can, it's a HUGE savings! Happy Crafting!

Have a Magical Day...

Welcome to my post and to the newest release from InkOn3. And it's a great one! Check this out!!!
Fleurette has outdone herself with this one. AND...there are now dies! How cool is that? So we have Magic Dragons and the coordinating dies and we have Phat Alphanumeric stamp set and Phat Alphanumeric dies. These are so fun to play with. Check out the bundle that's available as of this posting. 


So, let's get on to the card I made for today. I kept it simple for this one, but Monday I'll have a super fun card so you need to come back then and check it out.

I LOVE these little dragons and it was hard to choose which to play with. But, I ended up with the one that's flying. 


I started out by stamping this little guy with our Blackout ink. This ink is amazing! It's super black, very crisp, works with any coloring medium, and it dries almost immediately and doesn't smear! Plus, it doesn't stain your stamp either. I then colored him using my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I cut him out using my Scan n Cut, as I don't have the dies yet. I then pulled out some google eyes that fit and stuck them on. 

I went on to stamp my sentiment on vellum using our Juicy ink. I embossed using white embossing powder and trimmed it to a narrow strip. 


I pulled out some patterned paper from my stash. This is from Lawn Fawn. I adore their papers! I cut this using their 4 bar sized rectangle dies. It makes for a very nice little note size card. I like making this size when I'm using a smaller image or when keeping the card very clean and simple.

I wrapped the sentiment strip around the front panel and taped on the back side. Vellum is hard to hide adhesive and this works great.

Now, I love cards that are a bit interactive. They are so fun! So, on the backside of this little guy, I stuck on a Mini Action Wobbler. These are so fun and with a flick of your finger, he wobbles as if he's about to take off and fly! It's really fun, and hard to stop playing with it, lol. 


I took this front panel and using tape runner, I added it to the 4 bar card base. 
It measures 3 1/2 x 4 7/8.
I pulled out some gems to match and scattered a few around. They add such fun sparkle! I believe these are from Studio Katia

So, that's it for today. I hope you'll head over to InkOn3 and check out this release and all the other great items in the store. 

Pull out your supplies and have fun crafting!


Happy Stamping!

Make a Wish Birthday Action Wobbles Card ft. Magic Dragons

Hello Friends!

Today I have a super cute card to share with you all featuring one of Ink On 3's newest Stamp sets, Magic Dragons. How cute is that little dragon?!
Even cuter when you see it move!


For this card I thought it would be fun to make it look like rainbow rays were shooting out from the candle's flames. To create the rays I made a stencil out of a plastic sleeve (cutting a long "V" like slit toward a center point that I had marked in the middle of the plastic sheet). I then used my plastic template to blend out each distress oxide ink onto some bristol paper. I wiped the plastic off after each color and rotated the template to line up with the previous color. Then I just repeated the process over again until the rainbow was complete.

Next, I die cut the panel using a square stitch frame. Then I stamped the candle, making sure the flame was centered over rainbow's vertex and also stamped out my sentiment. To the flame and the candle I added some sparkle pen and then added glossy accents. I then stamped out the dragon using Blackout ink and then colored it in with Spectrum Noir Markers. Once it was all colored, in I fussy cut the image out and mounted this cutie on a mini action wobbles spring. I finished it off by embellishing the card with some flat sequins and voila, done!

Make sure you follow me on Instagram so you can see this cutie in action 🎥


Hope this bright Make a Wish Birthday Action Wobbles Card has inspired you a little today!

Quick Easter Card ft. Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink

Hello Friends, Ilda here!

I can't believe it's the first day of March already, before you know it Easter will be here! So I thought I would begin the Month with a quick Easter Card 🐣

For this card, I experimented with the new Fadeout ink from InkOn3.
This ink truly has magical properties as the stamped lines take on the color that you apply next to them. Making No line coloring super simple and fun!

Quick Easter Card ft. Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink from InkOn3

Here are a few tips that I found helpful when using the Fadeout ink.

  1. Make sure your stamp is squeaky clean (any ink residue from the stamp will transfer that color to the image being stamped).
  2. Less is more. Avoid using too much water. If you do, the water may bleed out the stamped line creating a thicker blurred line.  

I also used the new Blackout Ink on the inside of the card. I love this ink! It dries almost instantly which allows you to begin coloring right away, plus it doesn't stain your clear stamps!

Biker Bunnies Love Their Chicks - Slider Card

Hello Friends, Ilda here with you again!

I'm back with a "Cool" Easter Card, perfect for the little rebel in your life!

This card features stamps from Ink On 3's Biker Bunnies and Lil Chicks, and of course I just had to make it interactive!
Biker Bunnies Love Their Chicks - Slider Card - Ink On 3
As you can see the little Biker Bunny looks like he pops a wheelie as he drives by to impress all the "Chicks" lol! 😆


Here is how I created this card...

  •  Colored all the images using Zig Clean Color Brushes, then cut them out. 
  •  Used distress oxide inks to blend out the colors for my background. 
  • Colored the bottom of another piece of cardstock grey, as you will see it once the slider channel is cut out. 
  • For the sky I used a cloud stencil. 
  • Used a couple of channel dies to create the track for the motorcycle. I began with the straight die, then used the curved die. Make sure you align the track really well before you run it through the die machine so that the track is smooth. 
  • Stamp out the sentiments.
  • Assemble the front card panels. I popped up the front panel with 2 layers of foam tape. 
  • I created 2 slider mechanisms by sandwiching a couple of spin disks between a couple of small circle dies.
  • Inserted spin mechanisms into the track and attached the Motorcycle to them. (I did not attach to the front wheel of the motorcycle to the spin disk as then it won't be able to curve up the channel).
  • Glue down your bunnies and chicks. To some of the chicks I popped them up with foam tape and then to the ones that looked like they were flying I added some motion lines with a marker.
  • Attach the finished panel to the card base.
  • Finish by adding some Wink of Stella and glossy accents to the Bike and the Bunnies.

Hello! Today I am excited to share a card I made using the new stamp set from Ink On 3.  It's a very simple card, but I think it is really cute.  


The set is called Biker Bunnies and has so many cute sentiments and stamps included.  I popped the egg shells and the chick out using foam dots and added some clear sparkle to the shells.  The background is embossed using the honeycomb embossing folder.

Peep Peep Peep...

Hi crafty friends! 
I have a card today showcasing the new release from InkOn3. Soooo cute! Check out these images!!! Aren't they so cute?



So anyway, here's what I did with some of these images.

I first went through and stamped all my images. I'm on a colored pencil kick right now, so I colored these with my Prismacolors. I'm not happy with them right now...they keep breaking! Gonna try the heating pad trick to see if that helps. Anyway...ordered a couple new and different brands, so stay tuned for my thoughts on them. I used Gamsol odorless mineral spirits to blend the pencil out.


I used my Scan n Cut to cut out all the images. LOVE that machine! I cut a half inch of the right side of the card front. I attached a piece of patterned paper to the front and to the right side of the inside of the card. It shows when the card is closed.


I then took my chicks and placed them how I wanted, and a bit off that edge. I attached with foam tape. 


I then stamped my sentiment and cut with a banner die in my stash. I stamped out the Peep Peep Peep in purple and Happy Easter in black. I added it with foam tape as well. Then I told the banner and had it go from the sentiment to the chicks hand, as thought she's holding it. Also added with foam tape.

I added a bit of bling and google eyes to the chicks. Who doesn't love google eyes? I also used my my sparkle brush and colored over bits of the images to add sparkle. Also a few white dots of gel pen.

So, that's about it. I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration today. Go over to InkOn3 and check out all the products of this release as well as those from the past. Lots of fun things to play with.


Have fun playing with your craft supplies!

Egg-Stra-Special Lil Chicks Easter Card - Ink On 3 Stamps

Hello, Ilda here for Ink On 3.

Today is Release Day for Ink On 3's new stamps sets, and they are SO cute!!! Today's card features the Lil Chicks set which I immediately fell in love with 😍 

How CUTE are this little Easter Chicks!?!

Egg-Stra-Special Lil Chicks Easter Card - Ink On 3 Stamps

I thought it would be fun to create a card with all my chicks dressed up in different outfits. Like many of us "chicks" (AKA MOM's), these Lil Chicks also wear a variety of hats. I think this would make a great Easter Card for a friend or mom in your life.

Egg-Stra-Special Lil Chicks Easter Card - Ink On 3 Stamps

To color my chickies in, I used Zig Clean Color Brushes on Bristol Paper.
Then once I was done, I used the Scan n Cut to cut my images out, but if you don't have one Ink On 3 does provide FREE digital downloadable dies with each stamp set.

To create the cute little egg backgrounds, I cut out an oval shape from a post it note and masked off the area where I was going to add the stamps to. Then I used distress oxide inks to blend out each egg.

Here are a few close up shots of these darling chicks!

Treat Basket SVG Kit and Heart Shaker Card

Cheryl here on the blog today, I love this easy to create basket SVG file by  Ink On 3!  I've made it several times.  I decided to make it for Valentines Day and put some cakes in it for my grand kids when they come over.


I chose this pattern of digital paper from inkon3's new collection and printed it out on my home computer. You can also take the files on a flash drive to a local copy store and have them print it for you. 
I opened the svg files in my Ecal software and cut it out using my Eclips2 cutting machine. Assembly of this basket it very easy! I opted to use ribbon for my handles instead of the one included in the kit. 


I used one of the heart cuts from the card file and cut a bunch for the edge of the basket. I spaced them out for three on each panel. I then used a heart punch from my stash and cut out tiny hearts from some silver glitter paper and layered them on top. Pictured in the background is the card I made last week to go along with this. I used one of the new shaker cards available in the SVG section at inkon3.  This would be a very nice gift to bring to a loved one for any special occasion.  


So, that's it from me for today. I hope you'll head over to InkOn3 and check out what's there. You'll find a great variety of stamp sets, and svg files, and digital papers to print. Here's where you can find what I used in these projects. 


So that's it for today. Hope you got some inspiration and will head to the store and will follow us on FB and Instagram. You'll see lots of really cute things from our Design Team.

Dragonfly Card

Today I am sharing a pretty card I made using a stamp set from Ink On 3.  The stamp set is called Water Lily.  The water lily and dragonfly are colored and placed on top of an brick wall embossed background I made.  For some cute detail, I added a few 4mm sparkling clear droplets.  I used a glitter pen to add some sparkle to the dragonfly and flower.

Lots of Love Valentine Bears

Today, I am sharing a Valentine card I made using Ink On 3's stamp set called Snow Buddies.  Super cute set with so many different stamps in it!  The Digi Die Cuts for the stamps are free with the stamp purchase.  This makes stamping so easy with no fussy cutting.  The pretty sentiment comes from the Lilac Dreams stamp set.
I also used the Door Card that is FREE on her site right now!
