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 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!

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
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!

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.
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!
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: Butterflies and Ferns by akronstamperdpk at Splitcoaststampers
and Card #2: In my thoughts by akronstamperdpk at Splitcoaststampers
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
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)
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: Teal Dragonfly by akronstamperdpk at Splitcoaststampers

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.:mad:
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.
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...
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.
Ohh...looks like we have a taker! I say continue...we can play as we have time...maybe more people will want to join later...who knows how long we can go;)
Anyone want to play in my Ink it Up Challenge????
