Inkredible

Today I thought I would show you what we all look like...

This is my bestest buddy Tamara and her baby, Eliahn.
I really like this photo, it's nearly 2 years old and has been air-brushed to death but I look good don't I?

I couldn't post photos of us without showing you the beloved Inkredible.
The figure on the right-hand side all in black is me (Kathleen)
This photo must be nearly 5 years old.
Inkredible hasn't really changed that much.
Except for the tarp that is on the roof at the moment,
we had some storm damage.
I am thinking of getting rid of the first sign across the front of the shop, on the awning.
It has too much information on it and looks a big daggy now.

Quick Boy Cards

These Autumn Leaves Stickers make perfect boy cards. They retail for $11.50.
I made 8 cards out of this pack and I still have some sticker left.
Again I have used my Stamp It Sentiment Set "Happy Birthday" stamp.
For this one I hand cut out the 1 but used the Cricut for the st...not sure why, should probably have done it all on the Cricut...
Everyone loves the Frog! I made a frame and put it up on foam tape with the frog in the center. The white card has been embossed with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder.
Really like this one, just simple and again I have used the Stamp It Set.

This one is a little hard to see, I have cut out a square in the front of my cad and the dinosaur is actually on the inside of the card.
If you aren't good with a craft knife you have to try the Fiskars Fingertip Control Craft Knife. Makes everything easy.

Enjoy!
Have a good night!

More K & Co quick cards!

Below are the Stamp It Sets that I use fairly regularly. They retail for $29.95 each. As you can see I have used them on all of the K & Co cards.



Don't you just love the fact that these stickers already come with bling on?
These retail for $8.50 and I have made 7 cards. I have used white again for my base and then I have used 4 different coloured cardstock for the various cards. There is also some ribbon, split pins & acetate.
All up it cost me about $15.80 that makes them only $2.26 per card. Like me you probably have some ribbon, split pins and a small piece of acetate floating around and if you do it brings it down to $2.07 per card. Great value!






Have fun - will try and post some more quick cards for you tomorrow!

Quick Cards

These K & Co stickers are gorgeous and make quick and easy cards.
They retail for $10.95 and I made 8 cards out of them!
I used white card for the base and one sheet of 12x12 blue cardstock,
a scrappy bit that I had in my leftovers box for the punched flowers and a bit of ribbon.
All up it cost $16.25 for 8 cards! Making them only $2.03 each!


I love the Stamp It Sentiment Set it retails for $29.95 and has everything on it you could ever want. I only use the Pentel Hybrid Gel pens they are $5.50 each and you really need black and white for those special touches on cards.
And you may have noticed that I have also used the Cuttlebug - LOVE the Cuttlebug!
I have used the Birds & Swirls Folder on all of the Cuttlebugged cards. And on one of the cards I have rubbed my crayons over the top to highlight the embossed image. Have you used water colour crayons yet? I think they are much better than the pencils.
The punched flower is from EK Success and it is the medium daisy.
My favourite stamp pad to use is Versafine Onyx Black but it is a very wet stamp pad.
They last 5 times longer than normal pads. You can emboss with them as well but if you can't wait for things to dry try Staz On Black but make sure you have the Staz On Cleaner for your block and stamps.
If we can help you with anything please call us on 07 3366 0366.
Have fun creating!
