Welcome to Ink N Scrap Habits!
I've created this blog to share my life & love of paper crafts with others. You will read bits and pieces of what goes on in my world and be able to see my paper craft creations! Please leave me a comment if you see something you like. I'd love to hear from you!
I used it as a color challenge and created this cute card using pink and green and I picked this Friendly Flower Frog (1115G) image because the flowers he's holding matched the flowers in the inspirational photo.
I used Copic Markers to color the image and then die cut it with circle Nestabilities. As you can see the pink cardstock was embossed with a flower embossing folder and I created my own pattern paper by stamping the Large Original Plaid (641P) with Versamark ink in 2 different directions. The seam between the 2 background panels was hidden with a strip of dark green ribbon and a few green and pink rhinestones were added for some bling. Finally, I stamped the Un'Frog"ettable Greeting (266E) on a pink banner die cut and adhered it in place with foam tape.
This card screams "Spring," doesn't it? I hope the Mother Nature starts to cooperate with what the calendar says and that Spring-time temps get here soon!
Have a great day!

Yeah! It's official, today is the first day of Spring and to celebrate there's a "Bloomin' Spring" challenge on the DRS Designs Blog this week. One lucky winner will win their choice of 2 stamps from DRS Designs! Here's what I created for the challenge.
I made this Springtime card using the Friendly Flower Frog (1115G) and the Goodbye Winter Greeting (384G). The frog was colored with Copic Markers and I split up the second half of the greeting to accomodate my layout. Yellow rhinestones were added to the flower centers to spice the image up a bit and a few pink brads wmbellished the embossed panels nicely. Finished card size is 4.25" x 5.5."
It's definitely time to watch the flowers grow and I'm so looking forward to it! Are you?
Have a great day!

When you hear the term "googlie eyes," especially this time of year I bet you automatically think Halloween. I know I do, but when I heard the challenge over at DRS Designs this week is "Googlie Eyes," I decided to change things up a bit.
Instead of creating a fun Halloween card, I created this cute frog card using the adorable Frog Boy Cutie Pie Kid (428H) and the Frog in your Pants Greeting (1016K) from DRS Designs. Check out the picture of my Frog Boy below and see his googlie eyes. He almost looks the same, even though they are more defined! This is the first time I've ever used googlie eyes on a card and I'm glad this challenge enlightened me to do it. I'm sure I'll be adding them add to more of my stamped images soon!
As you can tell I used a very simple layout for this card.
The Frog Boy was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and adhered in place next to the greeting. I used the Tiny Frog (420A) as an embellishment by also coloring it with Copics, matting it, and then adhering it with foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my "Googlie Eye" entry and that this greeting made you smile. Have a great day!

I couldn't resist using this cute Tiny Frog (420A) from DRS Designs to make my own pattern paper. I stamped it repeatedly and then colored each one with Copic Markers. Don't they go great with the Frog on a Log (252H) as the focal image? It too was colored with Copic Markers to match the hand stamped pattern paper. I wrapped some twine around the card front and then popped up the matted image on top of it with foam tape for dimension. The bottom was stamped with the coordinating Hoppy Birthday sentiment (440E).
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

This week's challenge on the DRS Designs blog is "Plaids." Oh, what fun I had creating this cute "Toad" card for it!! (or is it a frog because I've colored it green? LOL!) I recently received the Large Original Plaid (641P) stamp and I'm really enjoying making my own backgrounds and plaid patterns with it. (For another example, please see my Stacked Love Valentine HERE.)
The plaid seen here was created by stamping the Large Original Plaid stamp in both, the vertical and horizontal directions. I stamped it one way with dark green ink and then for the other way I used a light green ink. The Singing Frog (138H) was colored with Copic Markers, masked, cut out with an oval Nestability using the Out-of-the-box technique, and then sponged while it was still in the die. I've also created the polka dot background here using Versamark ink and the Polka Dot Background stamp (688P). It matches that polka-dotted frog pretty well, doesn't it? I got creative with the sentiment and split up the "Toad"ally Wonderful Day Greeting (455E) in to 3 parts to fit my layout. Finished card size is 4.25" x 5.5."

Hi Everyone!
Hope you're all having a great week! Here's the card I made for the Masculine Card challenge on the DRS Designs Blog.
The combination of browns, blues and greens scream "boy" to me on this card! Both the Frog On A Log image (252H) and the Un"frog"ettable Birthday Greeting (1077G) that I used are by DRS Designs. This image was colored with Copic Markers and was a lot of fun to color. The greeting was one line too big for the area where I wanted it to go, so separated the last line and added it under the image.
Interested in playing along? You can find all of the challenge details and enter your masculine card HERE for a chance to shop for free with a DRS Designs Store voucher.

Sorry for the lack of posting over the last week. The internet has been down at my house and there's only so much you can do on a smart phone these days without going cross eyed! Unfortunately, blogging with (decent) pictures is one of them, so I chose to wait until it was fully up and running before attempting to post. Good thing about the internet being down is that it forced me to make better use of my time--I got a lot of housework done, some cooking and played often with DRS Designs new images!! Now you'll be seeing all of my finished projects fairly often! Yeah! Without further adieu...here's one of the cards I made:
All of the stamps used on this card are by DRS Designs. The new ones are the Fully Rely On God Greeting (740D) and the Polka Dot Background (688P). Adorably cute wouldn't ya say? That cute Tiny Frog (420A) is from a previous release. I used Copic Markers to color the images on this card, and the polka dots were created using Versamark ink. I also lightly distressed both frog panels with green ink.
The rhinestones were clear and I colored them with Copic Markers to match the color theme.
Thanks for stopping by...I hope you have an unfrogettable day! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
Smiles,
Jennifer
