INKin' All Night! with Rhonda

Smile!

Okay, so I am really slow at getting back to the computer but it's because I have been busy stamping, holding classes ... oh, and getting the crappy ol' crud last Tuesday which even got me to go to the doctor with some persistant nagging from my friends (thanks Eliz & Lynda) ... well I can finally say I am feeling a little bit better.

Here's sweet little Rachel from last Thursday I think it was when she got her braces off -- gotta love the self portrait pic's of a digital camera...  gee she will be 12 in about 2 weeks, holy cow...!

I'll be back in a little while to share with you the projects that they are making today and tonight in my Big Shot #2 Class! 

Cards Galore... there's more!

Hi

Hope you have all been keeping busy and enjoying life!  It's been busy here at our household.  I can't even remember if I told you that Rachel broke two toes... and that's been a week ago already!  Here she is sporting her boot cast, minimum of 3 weeks and then they'll re-xray to see how things are healing!  So no dancing, no volleyball, no jumping around... talked about slowing down a child!  HA!  I'll be back later this week with more pic's of Rachel - - - as she gets her braces off on Thursday!

And I promised that I would post some pic's of some of the cards that we'll be making at some of my upcoming classes.  These first ones are what you'll be making at this weekends 101020 Card Class - yep, 10 cards & envelopes, 10 designs for $20.00.  I have only THREE openings, class times are Sat or Sun from 2-5:00 pm (same class, just repeated).  Please email me at inkinallnight@cox.net if you are interested in attending, cash, check or credit card reserves your seat!  Long distance packages are available too, email for options.

Several of the card ideas are ones that I have been admiring of others artwork and just had to make to have myself... so they are CASEd (copy and share everything).  I've tried to keep the name of the person that I got the idea from to give them proper credit.  Thanks to the many talented and giving demonstrators that continue to inspire the creativity in all of us, thanks for sharing!

Click on any of the images to view them larger!  No recipes provided here, a recipe sheet is available at class.  Plus, I need to get this post done today!!  So the short version... and drum roll please.....!

Mini purse & other sizzix items!

  Here is the little sizzix mini purse that I mentioned in my Easter sizzix class post the other day.  For the Spring Fling Event that I host for my team and fellow demonstrators we decided that we were going to bring back the "demonstrations" to our event.  The last couple events we didn't do demonstrations, and we missed it and there was so much new fun stuff to showcase!  So both Marlene (Hey Friend!!) and I each had to come up with some demos... one of my demos featured the Bag with Scallops XL die.  For this sample it uses the side panels of the die and then I made my own panel for the piece that becomes the front, bottom and back.  I also had the "clear" dies as part of my demonstration, so this combines the clear circle die with the larger scallop circle die to make the top flap portion of the purse.  In this one, the ribbon handle is mounted into the back under the scallop.  The front flap tucks under the double layered buttons on the front.

Here are some of the other demo items that I showed or had made for displays at Spring Fling. 

 

this is a white handled gift bag with a decorative panel.

It uses the textured cardstock - kiwi kiss

the top black panel was run through the texturz plate (sorry hard to see in this picutre)

the red flower was initally run through an inked texturz plate - gives great definition and also embosses the image for texture

and then it was die cut with the clear flower die

it also features the large kiwi kiss corduroy button double layered with the new 5/16" silver jumbo brad

and i was having so much fun that i made a little mini card to go with the bag...  it uses the 4pk of flowers sizzlit die - almost matches the shape exact (well close enough) and it uses the circle punches and a small silver brad to mimick the design of the bag

And these little guys are Easter treat boxes that use the Bag with Scallops die. 

The green one on the left was also run through the Curly Label XL die to create the perforated decorative window - and the scallop portion was left "up" and the yummy tag was mounted to it.  The little pink rectangular tag is from the Lots of Tags SU sizzlit 4pk.

The striped one on the right used the Curly Label XL for the window as well but I did not use the side panels, and I cut the scallop portion off.  but the tag is the punched out piece from the Curly Label XL die. 

Both use the smallest cello bag filled with speckled jelly bean eggs.

Hope you enjoy!  Go create something yourself today - even if it's a CASE, just stamp for fun!
