Anyone want to play in my Ink it Up Challenge????

Ciebelle · 08-07-2007

I hope this is okay to post here...if not when It gets moved I will know where it should be...

Anyway...what is an Ink it Up challenge you ask? I will tell you!

How many of us have bought sets or just one stamp that we "had" to have or it was a good deal or we saw it used...you know the drill...well my challenge is that we find a set or stamp...any vendor and ink it up..and make a card and post a link so we can see it!

Thats it...if you are of the few who have used all your sets don't buy a new one...just find one with dust on it and ink it up.

I am sort of going along the lines of the buying freeze, but this is to use the stuff we have.

So the "rules" (very bendy rules mind you)

Use a stamp or stamp set you have but have not used yet.
Do not buy anything to make the card...just use what you have.
Post the link here.
You can play as many times as you want..lets get those stamps outta there packages and inked up!
Use the keyword inkitup1 (<---copy & paste this) when uploading your cards so others may find these cards easily!

Have fun

I hope you ladies will join me...I am off to my Stamping Spot to Ink it.

I'll play Ink It with your Ciebelle! I'm off to look through my unused stamps!!

Kathyc · 08-07-2007

I haven't even mounted the stamps I bought from the retired list in June! Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be struggling to come up with a swap for this weekend!!!! Maybe this will be the kick I need!

Ciebelle · 08-07-2007

That's what this is about...I bought a bunch from the retired list and had to have them..but haven't used them....
I have dug out Seaside Sketches...my sister's b'day is coming out. I will post later what I come up with

allee's · 08-07-2007

I have a whole pile of House-Mouse images I have never used! Including this one:

Anniversary Smooch!

allee's · 08-07-2007

The edit button is never on the thread where you need it! Only when you don't!!

I had fun playing the Ink It Up Challenge with you, Ciebelle!!

Thanks for playing....Your card is awesome! I hope you have others and can play again

Here is mine...
I had bought Seaside Sketches and not used it...my sister's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get another Dirty Dare challenge in. It is missing something, but I Inked it up! Well in this case bleach

Oooh. Sounds like a REALLY good idea. I'm off to the scrap room!

Ciebelle · 08-07-2007

Oh...if you can combine it with any other challenges that is cool too...the main idea is that we use those stamps!

peggysue · 08-07-2007

Okay, I'll play too. This is very similar to other challenges I've been in, but it will help me curb my spending! I was in a 30 set challenge once, had to use 30 sets in different cards before we could buy something new.

It was hard!

Here is my first card using a stamp set I bought, mounted and then never used, but brushed off for some Christmas cards this year.

Kathyc · 08-07-2007

Yeah, I did it! Here's my card using the Never-before-inked-up Cheesecloth background! Thanks for the inspiration Ciebelle! I combined mine w/a DTGD challenge too! Balmy Bliss

Thanks for playing...I love the broken glass! It is great!

FubsyRuth · 08-08-2007

Oooh yes, I'll play later on, I'll use a Xmas stamp I bought last year that hasn't seen ink yet! Thanks Ciebelle!

bumpercropper · 08-08-2007

I'd like to play, too. I'll post later.

Ciebelle · 08-08-2007

Cool! Can't wait to see what you create. I am going to try and get to my Stamp Room today and make another one

FubsyRuth · 08-08-2007

Here is my Angel Joy Tent Topper card. I'll be making Xmas tent topper cards with my monthly card group next time so this is one of my sample cards.

It was great to use a long neglected stamp, thanks for the great challenge Ciebelle!

bumpercropper · 08-08-2007

Here is my cheetah card:

Never too late!

The cards are beautiful that everyone is making. It is fun to look through what we bought and finally use it!

Thanks for playing everyone!

peggysue · 08-08-2007

Never thought I'd use this Inky Antics stamp and now I have three friends who are pregnant . . . one of them is sure to have a boy!

akronstamperdpk · 08-08-2007

I was so glad to find time tonight to made these two cards. I just bought these two stamps but had no clue what I would do with either one. Let me know what you think. Here's the first one: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=95678
and Card #2: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=95678
Thanks for letting me play . . . this was fun . . . maybe I'll do it again tomorrow . . . have to look through and see which set has the most dust on it. TFL

adelee · 08-08-2007

this is such a great challenge -- I'm off to dig through the pile...

Ciebelle · 08-08-2007

Peggy Sue....great card! I posted a comment

Darlene - I can only see the thumnails right now so I haven't commented...but they look like they are winners!

If my headache wears off I will attempt one tonight

Ciebelle · 08-08-2007

Darlene...I can see them now...they are awesome...your asian stamp is beautiful.

Thanks for playing..hope you play again.

Ciebelle · 08-09-2007

Didn't play yesterday....hopefully today! Any takers?

akronstamperdpk · 08-09-2007

I'll play again . . . thanks for your comments on my other cards Ciebelle. I just finished uploading my journal for today's challenge so now I'll go do another card. (maybe I'll do some housework in the meantime, haha)

avonlea · 08-09-2007

Great motivating challenge, Ciebelle! Here's a suggestion; use the keyword inkitup1 when uploading your cards so others may find these cards easily.

akronstamperdpk · 08-09-2007

Oops . . . good idea on the keyword, I'll have to go back and fix that. Anyways, I'm back with yet another card. Thanks again Ciebelle. If I get time to make more, can I post them here? Here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...36070?cat=6559

GarnetJ · 08-09-2007

Great Idea! As soon as I finish my scripture swap, I will get out the SU Butterfly set that I have never used. I think I bought it in February!!

Sure! Keep posting them here! They are beautiful....can't wait to see what you come up with next. I have only made one card. Life keeps getting in the way.

I hope I have something to post later on!

Ciebelle · 08-09-2007

Finally got to play again

I did two both I used for the DTGD challenges

The first one used the words from On Gossamer Wings that I had never used and the fern leaf is from a set that I cannot remember the name.

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...6566&cat=10686

This one used the I MUST HAVE IT...Artifacts...used it today...I have inked it up before, to give some images to someone, but this is the first time I have inked it up to use.

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...6565&cat=10686

Might get another one done tonight?????

Ciebelle · 08-10-2007

Did not get another one done last night. Hope to finish it today....anyone else...c'mon you know you have stamps that you have never used...let's see what you can do with them...

akronstamperdpk · 08-10-2007

Hi Ciebelle . . . finally finished today's challenge (and some housework) so I'm off to use the Nice & East Notes stamps that I have stamped out but need to color and make cards from. I'll be back! Oh by the way, your cards are cool.

akronstamperdpk · 08-10-2007

okay . . . here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...37018?cat=3128

maybe another later . . . by the way, where is everyoneelse??? Am I the only one with stamps they haven't used?

akronstamperdpk · 08-10-2007

Here's a couple more: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=95678
and
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=95678
Well, Ciebelle, looks like I'm the only one playing this game...what's your thoughts? continue or quit?

RJP111 · 08-10-2007

This sounds like a fun challenge! I probably won't have any time tonight to dust off a set, but I'm sure I'll have some stamping time this weekend.
