Welcome to The INKlings’ Team’s first ever blog hop. You may have arrived here from Fiona's Blog or just be visiting my blog, whichever way once you’ve checked out my creations you can continue the hop through the link at the end of this post to the next team member.
What style of cards do we frequently get asked for inspiration for? More often than not it’s masculine cards, be it little boys or grandfathers everyone seems to struggle with cards for the males in our lives. So as a team we thought we’d help you out by providing you with 20 team members’ fantastic blogs that you can hop through and get lots of fantastic ideas from.
Want to win some Blog Candy? Simply leave a comment on each blog and then email Michelle Dyson at michelle.dyson@bigpond.com and let her know you’ve done so and you’ll be in the running for a fantastic prize of 20 handmade cards plus other goodies. {Sorry the Blog Candy prize is not available to SU! demonstrators.}
And so, on to my projects... I really love making projects that co-ordinate. This Tag Pocket Book is based on one that was shown to us last year at Stampin’ Up! Convention by Shelli Gardner, CEO of Stampin’ Up! {She’s very inspiring, and not just in terms of her papercraft skills! For any other Demonstrators reading this, it’s only 1 week ‘til this year’s Convention! Hooray!}
It’s a “Pocket Book” that can be used to hold tags inside. The beauty of it is in its simplicity – the tags are held in by the cardstock, which is folded concertina style. A piece of hemp twine is wrapped around the outside to hold it all together. Too easy!
To make the tags, I’ve used the super cute new “Fox & Friends” stamp set. The colours are taken from the Washington Apple Designer Series paper, and I’ve also used images from “Circle Circus” on the backgrounds.
But wait, there’s more! Because Easel Cards are my new-found thing, I’ve also made an Easel Card for your inspiration. This one uses my go-to boys’ stamp set, “Lots of Bots”, and the “Starring You” set. This is the card from me that you could win if you leave a comment on each Blog in the Hop!
Well that’s all from me. Next stop on the INKlings’ Team Blog Hop is Nicky! Have fun and don't forget to leave a comment on each blog to win some great Blog Candy.
P.S.: Just in case you get lost along the way, here are all the Blogs, so you can get back onto the Hop!
