Challenge #28: Uninked Stamp

Hello Users!

This week is pretty open ended...please make a project where you have used an uninked stamp!

If you are anything like me, the only difficult part of this challenge is going to be picking from your endless stash of uninked stamps! :)

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

Please link your creation using Inlinkz by Friday April 6th. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE028 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

Sarah takes flight with this stunner using her never-inked butterfly stamp! She used white embossing powder on dark paper to make them pop!



Sonya's favorite pastime is biking, so it ironic she had a bike stamp that had yet to see ink! She also pulled out her stashed paper and primas to dress it up!



Steph went all out for this one! The stamp was uninked of course, but she also dusted off her lace and paper to make this cutie-pa-tootie!



Alanna pulled out her pitter-patter baby feet to make a celebration of new life with old stash! Looks as sweet as a baby, little one! Doesn't that fabric look like a tattered baby blanket?



DeNetra created a cupcake stage to showcase these darling little ladies! She also pulled out her stash of hoarded paper...this is the icing on the cupcake!



Eka made a gorgeous standing frame with some Prima Clear and Kaiser Craft stamps lost in a drawer! Those earth tones are just stunning together! It reminds me of the bark on birch trees!



Heather managed to find some time during her maternity leave to create this cutie pie! The stamp and sentiment had yet to be used, and she dusted off her paper, buttons and ribbon to tie it up!



Irini used her hoarded Glitz Designs stamps to make a perfect embellishment for her page! She topped it off with red glimmer spray and chicken wire and buttons, oh my! Say What? We love it!



And our guest designer from our All About Baby challenge, Lalkygirl, made this entire gift set using an uninked stamp from Polka Doodles! Wow! Stunning project! Thank you so much for designing for us!



We can't wait to see what you create! Now go Use It!!

Challenge #27: Green!

Hello Users!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, please make a project that has something to do with green!

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

Please link your creation using Inlinkz by Friday 23 March. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE027 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

Irini made an amazing layout with her stash! Hoarded paper, butterflies & bling never made something so gorgeous. It is like the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow!



Sarah used her striped paper, that has collected dust for longer than she wanted to admit. :) I bet we ALL have that problem! Or all we all just full of blarney?



Sonya pulled out her paper that was sitting since last March, as well as her dusty Cricut cartridge and Studio G stamp to make this card. It makes me want to jump for joy and do a jig!



Steph used all hoarded items for this beauty! The stamps and rosettes are a year old, and the paper...collecting dust for over 2 years. The luck of the Irish was sure with her as she made this one!


DeNetra used a vintage box and stunning hoarded trim to make this gorgeous piece! Me thinks she still has a little of that trim left...and does not want to let it go...and that is no blarney!



Eka really took the theme to heart, not only using the color green, but also recycled items! She used a corned beef can and baguette wrapper (made into flowers), and then pulled out some more traditional dusty items like pearls. It is sham-rockin'!

And finally, our Guest Designer, Thea, made this darling card! Look at that mulberry paper! We all know you have it in your stash too! Way to use it, Thea!!



We can't wait to see what you create! Now go Use It!!
