I love moose...there is something majestic about a moose. I have never seen one close up, but I still love moose! This guy (or gal) is of the whimsical kind, sporting a Holly Day attire. A simple Christmas card, yet the added glimmer of the rhinestones, the embossed frame & decorative paper says it all...HAPPY HOLLY DAYS!!

Christmas Cards

While my hands are in casts, the days are becoming quite long! I will try to post some Christmas cards that I and others have made over the years. I won't type much, as my fingers are somewhat numb, and the casts are in the way! Happy Stamping Inky Friends!


This cute stamp set has 11 mini stamps and 1 large one. There is so many uses for this set, all to be used for these up coming winter months! Although this card is simple with a few layers and pop dots, there is so much you can do with this set.

AJ and Inkyhive combo!

I must apologize for not posting before - on our visit of Oct. 8th, AJ was brayering and she did the sky and then stamped the trees, leaving the ground white for snow. . .she didn't care for the sky color and didn't like where she had placed the trees and she was going to toss it!!! I said, OH NO you don't, you can make a card with that. When we got together on the 22nd, I noticed she hadn't touched it, so I brought it home and played with it. I should have scanned it, before I worked/filled in on the bottum. Well, after, I stipple some green and brown in for the ground and filled in the tree trunks with brown, took a fine line black marker and made the extra ink spots, look like birds above the trees. I sent AJ a scan and this is what she said --

Ok, Ok you were right, it could be fixed and used for something!! I really like the added green, that does make a big difference. I could see a little something stamped in the bottom open area. And the birds, they look like real birds, not ooopses! See, One Stampers scrap is another Stampers treasure!! Now, too bad we didn't have a before and after...that would have made for great blogging!! Inkyhive Fixes for AJs messes!!

Please don't ever think it has to be thrown out. . .more times than not, it can be used.

You can get all the stamps from AJ.

stamp-n-stencil the Sunflower

Hello, AJ and I had a very nice visit last week. I was going to post when I got home and then the next day and as you know, time just gets away sometimes.

I wanted to share with you, a card I made this afternoon. The stamped image is one of AJ's stamp-n-stencil sets. If you aren't familiar with them, you might want to check them out. You stamp the image and then you use the stencil to put the color where you want it. Very easy and lots of fun.

I hope this will help you create. For me, making cards is great therapy, so relaxing and fun. Some nights I wake up with card ideas flowing through my mind!

God Bless, ~~ Inkyhive

Big Buck

Greetings All,
I stamped this image, the last time AJ and I got together. I'm not sure of the name of this image, but I am sure if you want it, just let AJ know, as she would most assuredly know the stamp! This is a very simple black and white card. Okay, time for you to get some ink on paper.

Good day for fishing

What a great day, for fishing! It has been raining all day and it is in the low 50's. I thought this card would be appropriate to share. This is a stamp-n-stencil set. I'm sorry, the glitter doesn't show, though I do have it on the ripple on the top of the water and on the little fish. I haven't decided if I will give this one to AJ, so she has a hard copy or send to my nephew, who is serving in Iraq, BUT I can always make another one. The stamp-n-stencil sets are a lot fun and easy to do. If you don't have one, you just might want to get one and see what I mean.

I hope your fingers have been getting some ink on them. . .
