Making Your Own Ink Pad Colors



I would have easily overlooked this in our annual catalog. It was actually my upline that talked to us about the spectrum pad and making your own color combos. Then I saw the video from Sarah Douglass our CEO from Stampin' Up! and I was hooked and I wanted to play along to. I decided to experiment with the reinkers I had on hand. I did have to buy 2 colors though as the reinkers I had in general were for retired colors. Yes, I am bad about buying reinkers when I buy a new ink pad. That will change from now on though! The colors I chose are from the Regals collection in the catalog. When I was putting the colors together it dawned on me that these colors reminded me of fall. That is the name I gave for this particular pad. I already have a list for my next order and I can't wait to see what colors I can come up with or be inspired by. My question to you is have you played with a spectrum pad and reinkers? If so what color combos did you come up with? I would love to hear all about it. Please go here Online Store so you can buy your own spectrum pad and reinkers. I promise you it's a lot of fun and you can't go wrong in playing with color!

  I am trying to challenge myself. So I have decided to participate in the card/color challenges you would see around the web. One blog I found that had a color challenge was this. Stylin' Stampin Inspiration You can find more info if you follow the link. The color scheme they had was Rich Razzleberry, Hello Honey and Calypso Coral. This is what I came up with. I used the Four Feather Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog as well as the framelits that you can get in a bundle. I also used Blended Bloom and colored it with Calypso Coral Blendabilities.  In the picture of the 2 cards I had done that card for Creative Challenge Club . What do you do to challenge yourself or think out of the box?

  Lately,I have been on a kick to participate in challenges. I am finding that I am enjoying the color challenges the best. This is the card that I made for Pals Paper Arts . This challenge closes tomorrow Sept 9th at 9:00 am PST. If your wanting to join you still have time! The colors they called for was Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Crumb Cake. I am really enjoying playing with my For All Things stamp set and Color me Autumn.  You can find those in the Holiday Catalog. If you are in need of one please let me know and I will be happy to send you one.  I liked the double stamp look. I think that is what it is called even though it was two different stamps and not the same one. If you’d like to try your hand in making this here’s the supply list. Thanks for looking and have a great day! Till next time!

Gingham Garden Box

I meet once a month with a group of ladies to scrapbook. We work on our own projects or someone will teach us something. Last night we were taught how to make boxes. After I made the box that they provided I decided to do my own version with Stampin’ Up! supplies. This would be a fun box to put a gift in or to keep some cards in. The material I used was Gingham Garden DSP ( 129310 $10.95) Midnight Muse Stampin’ Write Marker. (You can get a pack of the 2012-2014 pack of In Colors for $14.95 126856) and the new In Color 2013-2015 Card Stock. Working with paper and what you can do with it is endless!
