Just Inklined Blog Hop

Welcome to the Just Inklined Blog Hop this morning featuring Fancy Fold cards. If you arrived here from Karen's Blog you are in the right spot. If you want to go back to the beginning and our hostess this month that would be Joyce.  I don't know how fancy the fold is, (ribbon straps should work), but I wanted to feature this fun image and it isn't just placed on the card front so that makes it fancy in my book.

 

The image is one of 4 you receive and oh the possibilities are endless :) the sheets are available here:  

 And for the inside of the card:

 

The ribbons hold the two layers together and you just flip it open to show the sentiment which was hand written.

The next stop along the Hop is the super talented Heidy, who I know will have something extraordinary to show you.  As always leave a comment on each of the DT members blogs for a chance to win the image they have used for their creation.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.

Did you know? I used to be a Horse Trainer? Stables fits perfect!!!

Little known facts on this blog about me LOL. I used to train Thoroughbreds at the track and when Jak offered this image from Just Inklined,  called Stables , I first thought of using one of the kids pictures to showcase it, and then thought it would be fun to use  a photo of me with one of my winning mares. The Old Grey mare she Ain't what she used to be   ( you  pick).,. LOL:

The image was colored with copic markers and I tried to give the feel of  barn planks and the beauty of a well oiled leather saddle and the velvety black of the helmet.  Not exactly what you would use in the Horse racing industry but it was all a part of our barn as the kids rode and the exercise riders came to work the runners :).  We had a gallop track on the farm. 
The dp behind the photo is a darling red and white polka dot from my stash and I love the red and white polka dot ribbon tied in a knot bow. The 5 red dots were added to the white layer to add a splash of color to the crackled finish. 
I added a pair of hand made red roses with leaves as the finishing touch to the Sadle image and my win picture as a memory I may hang for a bit for a bit of nostalgia. 
Be sure to check out the new images at www.justinklined.com as there were more new ones added this week. As always something for everyone.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my nostalgic moment with me :)

Hugs,

Just Inklined Candy Box-Valentines Day Card

Just Inklined has some beautiful Valentine images old and new and for my post today I chose a new image called Chocolate box. 

I really loved this image because of the details of the chocolates in the box, the rose and the bow.  Loved coloring with copics and the outside edge was sponged with distress ink.  Mounted on red cs and the heart topped hat pin was attached with bakers twine wound multiple times around the right side left for this purpose.  I slid a ticket under the hat pin for the sentiment, they are so much fun.
The pink plaid dp was a free download from Jak Heath available here.  Jak always has wonderful dp she creates for you to use for free, just follow her copywrite rules and use it for your own creations. 
I added a few hand made pink roses, swirles, a band of pearl covered lace at the bottom and my beautiful Valentines card is ready to give that Special Someone. 
Be sure to check out the rest of the new images Just Inklined has in the Store right now, as always there is something for everyone. 
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Just Inklined Beautiful Birds

I know I have mentioned in the past that Just Inklined has a wide variety of images, something for everyone...flowers, wrinklies, the bumgardners LOL but, they also have wonderful animals and birds.  Birds are so wonderful for so many different occassions and card giving.  I have created this pretty  (IMO) card using the wonderful Feed the Birds image.:

Aren't these robins just beautiful.  They are so much fun to color.  I decided to keep the dp and layout fairly simple to show the beauty of the image.  The image was cut out with a scalloped rectangle spellbinder die a contrasting green die cut from the next larger die. 
The sentiment die was cut from a different spellbinder die and the oval sentiment die was one of the smaller die's from the set but I cut the swirley ends to have just the white oval onto which I stamped the sentiment.
A pretty plaid bow added just the right amount of color along with the hat pin onto which I strung some pretty colored gems.

Be sure to check out the Justinklined,com website for all the wonderful images that are just perfect for every card you need to create.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to drop by the Just Inklined Blog to see what the Design Team gals have been creating to show you!!!

Have a great week and take some time to create something beautiful.

Beautiful Snowy Owl--Just Inklined

I love snow scenes, although I don't necessarily love snow LOL.  Just Inklined has a new image that really grabbed me and I had to have it as soon as I saw it and had to color it as soon as I had it....Here is Snowy Owl:

I hope I did this majestic bird justice.  I wanted to keep the image as natural looking as possible so colored with copics and kept mostly neutral whites, beige, blue and silver. 

I added a little green for the ever green trees but kept it to a minimum as in the tree lines where this gorgeous bird resides the snow is heavy which requires his white feathers.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the Justlined.com shop to see the rest of the beautiful Christmas inages and scenes that would make the most beautiful cards or even framed works and because they are digital you could so easily do it!!!

Not sure I like the sun I tried to make look like it was over cast with the clouds and haze, so it may still get covered with a beautiful flower spray of some sort, we'll see.

Just Inklined Blog Hop--Blue Christmas!!

Are you ready for a wonderful Blog Hop with Just Inklined Stamps?  Jeni is our wonderful Hostess with the mostess this month and has chosen the theme,  Blue Christmas.  If you came here from Karen''s blog you are in the right spot, if not start over at Jeni's as you won't want to miss a single blog along the way.  Here is the card I created for you:

I love candles and non-traditional colors so this was easy for me.  I thought adding lots of sparkly ribbons and leaves added a lot to the bouquet as that is how I would decorate it and I am not much of a sparkly type of person LOL.
The image, called Christmas Candle,  is one of many new Christmas images created this season and available in the Just Inklined Store where you can now pay with PayPal which is my payment preference :) when making online payments anywhere.
The next stop along your way is the super talented Heidy, and I know she will have a wonderful creation to wow your socks off.

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Wonderful Holiday Season.

Just Inklined Christmas Mail

I love this Robin on a Post Box with snow on the top from Just Inklined which is so perfect for Christmas Cards: 

The image was colored with copic markers and arranged on an assortment of Christmas dp.  I added a trio of green brads and red I-Rock gems which add just the right amount of sparkle to the Holiday card. 

The label and sentiment were cut out with my cricut.   Have I mentioned lately, I love my cricut LOL. 

There are lots of new images in the Christmas section at Just Inklined so be sure to drop by the new store and check them out. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!!!

Getting Started on Christmas Cards--Just Inklined

Just Inklined has some wonderful Christmas images for the holidays and I chose this beautiful Fireplace image called, Hanging the Stockings,  for my holiday card.  I need to get busy to get any cards made in time to get them sent out LOL. 

I loved coloring the image with copic markers and sponging with distress inks.  The dp is a Christmas asst. packet I found at Michael's a few weeks ago on sale and I mounted the image on SU cs.
Last week I found this wonderful package of Tim Holtz Christmas Muse Tokens and fell in love with them so added it to the plaid bow.  A couple of fancy photo corners, a few red pearls and this Happy Holidays card is ready to send or the holidays.

Be sure to check out the store and see all the new and old Christmas images and don't blame me if you drop a bundle...there are a ton of must have images for the serious, fun and all the in between cards you need to make. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Just Inklined BlogHop--Christmas Packaging

Welcome to the November Just Inklined Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here from the super talented Karen's Blog, wasn't her creation awesome?  I decided to use the 3 Christmas Baubles to make a beautiful sparkly tag for a set of tiny christmas balls I am giving to my son and his new wife for their home this Christmas.

The image was colored with copic markers and attached to a white glitter board cut into the shape of a tag.  It was then airbrushed around the edges in blue.  In keeping with the gold tones of the gold of the ball container and the corners and bow I added gold glitter pen lines and gold highlights to the baubles.  Simple but elegant tag, perfect for their gift.

The next stop along your Hop is back to Heidy who is the Hostess of our Hop this month, and wasn't her theme awesome!!!  Her creation is wonderful and I can't wait to give it a try, but before I do, I will have to make a trip to the Just Inklined Store which is now made even easier for me since I prefer to pay with PayPal and now I can with the new store, check it out here,

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Happy Halloween--Not so Scarey Style

I thought I would share a cute image from Just Inklined with you to celebrate Halloween today!!!

I used some fun Halloween saying dp as a backdrop for this cute  Scarecrow Not from Just Inklined.  I love the MS goo border punch which I embellished with orange stickles to accentuate the goo. 

A narrow band or black ribbon on the goo band in the middle adds a little more seasonal fun without detracting from the image and the busyness of the dp. I added a glittery corner cobweb from Michaels in orange and a large orange button tied into the black ribbon on the center goo band.

Hoping you all have a wonderful Halloween and have a safe a fun time with the kids.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Coffee Time with Just Inklined--Thanks a Latte!!

If you know me you KNOW I love coffee. I drink it 24 -7 and so was excited when I saw these wonderful coffee and tea service images released by Just Inklined and they come with wonderful sentiments too, added bonus. Here is what I created today:

I wanted the coffee pot to look like a ceramic every day type of coffee pot so gave it a teal and tan, or coffee stained maybe LOL, base, which was colored with copic markers.  Because the base cs is a busier floral striped print I left the cs panel of the coffee pot  plain. A doilie with a cricut double layered die cut flower was added to the base.

The sentiment was printed and then cut with an oval punch and then a straight edge was cut along the top to which a black and white polka dot bow and gold button were added.  The perfect embellishments for a Thank you a Latte card ready to send to that special friend who appreciates coffee as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the LaPashe store and check out the formal Coffee service and formal sentiments and the other new Halloween and other wonderful images that the artists at Just Inklined have been rolling out the past few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Swimming for Katie Renz--Special Fundraiser for a Special Crafter

Just Inklined is holding a special Blog Hop to continue the Fund Raising effort for Katie Renz.  Katie is a special crafting friend of many crafters and although I do not know her personally I know her through Just Inklined and took part in the first Fund Raiser when her original diagnosis was made almost a year ago.  I have followed her blog story, oh to have her love and strength. and it breaks my heart to feel so helpless.     You can read Katie's story on her blog here.

On with the Blog Hop and how we can help!!

If you arrived here from Alice's blog you are in the right spot, if not go back to the beginning which is Mina's blog , you won't want miss a single stop along this special Hop.  We are all using the same special image created for the Fundraiser by Becky Oehlers, which was inspired by Katie's blog post,  Keep Swimming.

This would have been fun if I had the SVG file already but I didn't so had to cut it out by hand. but thought it turned out cute.  The images available are available in different formats and there are a couple of different ones as well.  Our own Jak Heath has a wonderful Fish and bubble dp pack available  here:  The link is to the:  I Heart papers website where the Swimming for Katie fundraiser items are being sold.

Time for Halloween Images--Just Inklined

I was so pleased when Just Inklined came up with some new Halloween images this week and couldn't wait to color some up. The first one I colored was this cute witch called Endora:

I colored her with copic markers and then traced a moon around her so she could be flying up in the Halloween night sky.  The sky was airbrushed. 

I found this wonderful dp pack on sale at Michael's last week and just in time for all my Halloween creations this year. The web photo corner piece is perfect for my card along with the punched bats.  I added a Caution tag which is a pack from Recollections especially for Halloween. 
Be sure to check out all of the other new images Just Inklined has for Halloween just posted for you yesterday.  They are awesome.

Just Inklined Blog Hop--Fall Colors

Welcome to the October Just Inklined Blog Hop.  I'm Cathy and I am the Hostess this month and I choose the theme Fall Colors.  I love the colors of Fall and not only is this card made with my favorite colors but also to celebrate a Special Day. Today is my 41st. Wedding Anniversary.  And yes, I was a child-bride, LOL:

Because the card is for my husband it is perfect for the fall colors of oranges, brown and greens.  The Corner  A-4 Poppy is perfect  as the sentiment and image are ready to print.  The image was colored with copic markers and the border was over stamped with a cracked paint stamp and airbrushed to highlight the image.  The flowers in the upper left were hand made and airbrushed to match the poppy and mounted on a MS doile.

The next stop along your hop is the super talented, Heidy, and I know she will have a wonderful project to inspire you.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave a comment at each DT members blogs along the way as there will be random winners drawn from the comments of several of the DT blogs.  The winners will receive the digi files used to create the card.  How cool is that. 

Have a wonderful creative day!!!

The Girls--Just Inklined

There are some new girls at Just Inklined.  Here is Lucy with her pink tipped hair and black leather skirt. Well girl, You Rock!!!

The skirt looks speckled but it is the gloss of the Glossy accents I used to "try" to make it look like black leather.  I can say this probably looks a lot like my darling granddaughter Cailyn who is 14 going on ......wanting to be too grown up LOL, but I'm grandma, what do I know LOL.
The image was colored with copic markers and sponged with SU ink around the border to hightlight the image.  I added a stamp of a winged heart and the You Rock  to give the Tween feel to the card. 
A black and white polka dot ribbon and a bottle cap filled with black and pink buttons completes this fun card.
Be sure to check out the rest of the Girls, Lucy, Jo, Penny and Alice,  in the series at LaPashe where the Just Inkined digital images are sold.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Just Inklined Blog Hop--Wacky Wheelz

Are you ready for an Amazing Blog hop with the Wacky Wheelz  just released from Just Inklined? If you came here from Karen's Blog, you are in the right spot if not go back to Jak's blog, so you don't miss a single stop along the way.  Here is my project using the Golf Wacky Wheelz:

The Wacky Wheelz digi packs come with sentiments, embellishments, car to color, pre-colored cars, technical background drawings of car blueprints perfect for background dp.
I used a sheet of metal paper which I ran through my cuttlebug with a sheet metal embossed pattern I thought would be perfect for the car project.  The gears are Tim Holtz die cuts.  The Steering wheel and Stop Light are charms from my stash.  I added the Red,Yellow and Green lights by using glossing accents and adding a drop of red,yellow, and green to each dot for the appropriate light. If you double click the photo you should be able to see the lights they did not photograph well.
The Sentiments are also from the Wacky Wheelz digi packs and there are many more to choose from these are just two I chose for my project. 
The next stop along the hop is the super talented Heidi, who will have an awesome project for you for sure.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave a comment on each of the DT members blogs, for a chance to win the file used for the DT members creation, if their blog is one of the Secret winner blogs.

Just Inklined Rose Bookmark

I wanted to make a little something special for my sister's birthday.  Peg is a librarian so I thought it would be fun to make her a fun bookmark I have been seeing so many of lately and thought the pretty Rose from Just Inklined would be perfect for this project.  What do you think?

I know you may have never seen a blue rose but blue is Peg's favorite color so had to color it blue,..The Rose was colored with copic markers and then cut out...yep every single itty bitty leaf and stem. except the very center which I was able to color in with a copic to match the cs. So don't look too close LOL.

The book mark template or tutorial was from the Splitcoast Stampers website and so easy to follow, the project only took about 10 minutes after I colored and cut out the flower.  I know I am going to be making a lot more of these. To give you an idea of the size the base card stock piece began as a 4X4 inch piece.

I added a strip of lace and a narrow ribbon and bow which I glued on to insure it would not fall off.  A band of pearls which I also glued on and then I stamped a cracked paint background stamp to go under the rose.  I love the vintage look it gives or just to add some detail without getting too busy.  Because it is a book mark I didn't want to add flowers or anything that would get too thick since it would be on the inside of a book, hopefully she will use it LOL.

Thanks for stopping by, and for those of my friends and followers who are on the east coast of the US please stay safe as Hurricane Irene bears down on you, and to everyone else, have a great week-end.

I'm Back from Tennessee !!! Just Inklined Terraced Houses

I just got back from Tennessee and thought I was going to have time to post this picture of a fabulous Just Inkined image I colored before my trip  for my son's wedding.  No Time for posting on the trip but at least I have a post ready for my first night back...added bonus for me lol.

 

The Just Inklined Illustrators put so much details into the images they produce I love to color them as I can color them so they look like a photograph, a water color or just about any other art form I want.  They look good enough to frame  and I love to frame them with mattes so they look good enough to frame.

I chose greens and browns and airbrushed in sponged in the clouds.  The bakers twine in green and white seemed like a perfect ribbon for the  gnostalgic feel I thought the image called for.

Be sure to check out all the different images in the Country and Garden line up at the LePashe site.

It has been a long week and I am ready for a little down time so enjoy the image and be sure to drop by the blog and see what the other Design Team members have been showing lately.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Inklined Blog Hop--Check it Out!!

Welcome to the August Blog Hop for Just Inklined.  The theme this month is to have something checked on your card or project as chosen by our super talented hostess Karen.  If you have arrived here from Karen's blog you are in the right spot.

Here is my project using the Beautiful Magnolia image available on LaPashe website:

 I have always loved checked cards, ribbons, and just about anything checked so this was a fun challenge for me.  I colored the Magnolias with copic markers and airbrushed the background with copic markers as well.  I mounted the layers multiple times.

A trio of handmade paper roses and leaf sprigs in the lower left corner a gold shoe in the upper right gold accent beads in the corners and at the base of the flower buds.  I love to use a strand of faux pearls as if to symbalize having been tossed onto the card at the end of a memorable evening and have remained through time!!!

The next stop along the hop is the super talented Heidy.  Be sure to Check Out ( I couldn't resist) the wonderful Just Inklined image she has used for her project.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
