Get Inky! Farewell and Welcome Blog Hop

Welcome to the Get Inky! "Farewell and Welcome" Blog Hop!


You're in for a treat! We're hopping to usher out the 2013 design team while welcoming in the 2014 design team, some of whom are new to Get Inky! Stamps. As you may know, I am saying farewell. I was a part of the 2013 DT. It was an amazing experience, which makes it a bittersweet moment as I move on to new adventures. 

Well, you should have come from Kathy's blog, but if you have come here first, be sure to start at the Get Inky! Challenge Blog for a chance to win a fun prize!

I created a fun Valentine's Day themed Inner Stair Step card using four different Get Inky! stamp sets available on Etsy. I've seen all kinds of stair step cards but this one was new to me and I love it!! I added a stamped and layered piece to the highest step to create the look you see. 


My focal point is the lovable monster from Get Inky's 2013 Halloween Spooktacular set. She was so fun to color! To make her a girl, I drew on eye lashes and used a flower stem stamp (from the Love Bugs set) to create a bow for her 2 strands of hair.  I love using unusual stamps to create a desired effect. I also created my own embellishment by layering a dimensional sticker on top of a felt heart on the second step. SO much fun!! I encourage you to make your own Valentine's using Get Inky! Stamps. There a lot to work with combining all the sets. Gets your creative juices flowing!

  • Get Inky! Stamps - 2013 Halloween Spooktacular, Love Bugs, Geeky Fun, Whimsical Moon and Stars
