Coloring with Reinkers

Hello! Today I have a fun technique with a new set from Miss Ink Stamps. I love coloring (and painting) with reinkers, and today I have a video to show you just how fun and easy it is!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:https://youtu.be/aNM8h2KVe8A

The video really shows you all the details…but today I made two cards using different colorways. The first set of reinkers is the neon line of colors from Maker Forte (and a new favorite of mine…both the INKS and the REINKERS)!

I even colored the flowers with the reinkers using one simple tool and some felt. If you swipe over the images with your rainbow of reinkers, you can get some great colored images with no effort!

For my second card, I used some Spa colors from the Catherine Pooler line of inks/reinkers. These are much calmer colors (desaturated) and created a lovely more subdued rainbow.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






I hope you enjoyed these projects today!

Cotton Candy and Coffee

Hello! Today I’m up on the Maker Forte blog sharing a classic combination: Cotton Candy and Coffee. What? That’s not a classic combination?! Well, I hope you enjoy these cards anyway! Be sure to visit the blog HERE for all the details!

This is a brand new Cotton Candy set and It’s so fun! It also has a stamp for “Candy Floss” and “Fairy Floss” if you call it that instead.

I colored this up with copics and added a shadow beneath the large cotton candy treats!

These new sets are so dreamy, and if you like coffee, you might need them! There’s a lot of cute sentiments and “foam” you can stamp on top. Here’s another card made with the You Are Brew-tiful stamp set:

I added some of my favorite colors to make this one pop. Hope you enjoyed!

Heffy Doodle, Maker Forte, and SugarPea Designs Collaboration Blog Hop



Welcome to the Heffy Doodle, Maker Forte, and SugarPea Designs Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from all three companies are sharing inspiration using products from all three companies.

I have created TWO cards today, both using products from ALL THREE companies! This was a fun challenge, and I hope you enjoy!

CARD 1

For my first card, I first inked on the background using this stencil from Maker Forte and all their beautiful neon inks in the following colors: Roller Skates, Rah Rah Skirt, Outrageous, California Love, Limewired, Acid Wash, and Purple Rain. These are quickly becoming my favorite inks to blend!

I then colored up the Bear from Sugar Pea Designs, and the parrots from Heffy Doodle. I popped the images up with foam tape and stamped on the sentiment from another Sugar Pea Designs stamp set.

I stamped a few of the ink splotches on its matching color and matted the panel on a rainbow paper background.

CARD 2

For the second card, I used the same BEAR from Sugar Pea Designs, but this time I colored him up as a polar bear.

The surf board is from Maker Forte, and I stamped it & masked it off with the coordinating stencil (oh yes…this stencil comes with a mask!) before adding the bear so it would look like the bear was behind it. I then masked off the bear and inked on the lemons from a layering stencil from Maker Forte.

The crab images and the sentiment are from Heffy Doodle. And that’s it! Two cards using all three companies! I think they work pretty well together, what do you think?

If you are interested in more details, I have a video showing you just how to put these together easy! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Dazzle Dust Technique

Hello! Today I have a rainbow card for you adding some Dazzle Dust Glitter. I’m sharing a technique that makes sure that glitter doesn’t come off your card!!

Watch the short video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love this stencil from Miss Ink Stamps, it’s great for adding lots of color (or just a few colors like I did today).

The Dazzle Dust I used today is Moody Blues and it shifts in color from blues to greens when you hold it in the light. So so pretty!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you love glitter and rainbows as much as I do! See you soon with more cards…
