SUINK Blog Hop & Birthday Bash

Happy Birthday SUINK! Today, Storage Units, Ink & More turns "1" and to celebrate, YOU are getting all the goodies. OH BOY, do they have goodies to give away; and all month long. I am talking some HUGE prizes; some prizes worth over $500!!! Check out THIS post for all the details! But first, let's HOP!!!

Welcome to the Storage Units, Ink & More July Sneak Peek BLOG HOP! If you have arrived here from Mary Jo's blog; GREAT! If not, you will want to head on over to Kristen's blog to start from the beginning.

This month, SUINK is releasing a new collection of stamps called S-U-Inkies. What are S-U-Inkies you ask? Well, they are single stamps. SUINK is debuting three single stamps this month and each stamp is part of a "collection". The following single stamps are being released this month.

~ Love Birds (Friendly Forest Collection)
~ Summer Fun (Fairy Tales Collection)
~ Thanks A Bot (Doodle Bots Collection)

By participating in the blog hop, you will have a chance to win a FABULOUS prize package from Storage Units, Ink & More (SUINK). The package includes:

- All three single stamps being released this month
- A pack of Core'dinations cardstock
- An inkpad and refill
- A pack of buttons
- A container of ribbon

All you have to do to be eligible to win the stamps is to hop along with us and leave a comment on each designer's blog along the way. You will hop through 8 designer's blogs that will be showcasing the new S-U-Inkies and then finish off at the SUINK blog to leave your final comment telling us which stamp or project was your favorite.

So, are you ready for the fun? Today I am peeking two of the three new single stamps. My first card uses the Thanks A Bot stamp. I just LOVE this little robot. I also used Weekend Sketch Challenge #79 for my layout. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it in with Copic Markers. I used a white card base, Real Red cardstock, and blue cardstock from Core'dinations. The patterned paper is from the DCWV All About Boys Collection and was just PERFECT for this stamp.

For my second card, I used the Summer Fun stamp. I colored in the image with Copic Markers and used my Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen to add some sparkle to her wings. The cardstock colors are Papertrey Aqua Mist, Pink Pirouette, and Regal Rose and I'm not exactly sure what company the patterned paper is...:( I pierced each of the scallops, added some prima flowers, and attached a tag stamped with the "Summer Fun" sentiment with a brad.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the July Sneak Peek Blog Hop. Don't forget to leave a comment on all of the design team member's blogs (and the SUINK Blog) to be eligible to win the grand prize. Now it's time to head on over to Cathleen's blog to see what sneak peeks she has in store for you.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day!

More SUINK Cards

Good Morning & TGIF!!! I have two Storage Units, Ink & More creations to share with you today.

First, a card I made for CAS19 Sketch on SCS. I just loved Natasha's simple layout. The fish images and sentiment are from the Ocean Commotion set. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them in with Copic Markers, and added Crystal Stickles to the fish's lips. I used Prism Vibrant Teal and Prism Baby Pink Medium cardstock to match the Copic colors.

My next card is one that I made back in May and am just getting around to posting. I know; BAD BLOGGER...LOL!!! I used the It's My Party set and Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Sketch #70 for my layout. The cardstock, patterned paper, and ribbon are from the Birthday Girl Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the girl image, then masked her off and stamped the balloons. I colored the images in with Prismacolor Markers and paper pierced a couple of the balloons. I also added some dots to her bow and dress with a white gel pen.

Tomorrow morning I am heading up to Denise's house (owner of Storage Units, Ink & More) for a design team get together this weekend. I am really excited to meet Denise in person and I'm looking forward to stamping my little heart out. I'm sure I will have tons of photos to share with you next week.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend.

SUINKWWC46 - Get In Shape!

Good Evening! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I'm sorry I'm late with my WWC post today. I've been home all day taking care of my five year old who's been sick since last night....:( It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE at Storage Units, Ink & More. This week's challenge is to make a card with a unique shape. Try to make something out of the ordinary; not a circle or top note die card. How about a ship, baby bottle, or whatever; just not square, rectangle, or even round. So, do you want to play along? If so, check out THIS post for more information. If you upload your creation to SCS, remember to use keyword SUINKWWC46.

For my challenge card this week I decided to make a onesie card. Thank you to Lauren Meader for her AWESOME tutorial on how to make these adorable cards. You can check it out HERE. The adorable fish image is from the Ocean Commotion set by Storage Units, Ink & More. The cardstock colors are Prism Intense Teal and Prism Classic Red and the patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Enchanting Collection. I colored the image in with Copic Markers and added Crystal Stickles to the fish's lips. Then, I pierced each scallop and then traced around them with a white gel pen and added silver rhinestones to look like snaps.

You can check out more challenge cards from the other design team members on the SUINK Blog. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL evening!
