Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop. This time we have a fun colour challenge.

I have chosen two lovely retiring stamp sets for my card, Falling Flowers & Friendly Expressions.

Blackberry Bliss ink was used to stamp the sentiment on to some vellum. I secure this to the card layer by wrapping the ends behind.

Other elements were stamped on to Whisper White card stock. The images were “coloured” by moving the ink with a Wink of Stella Glitter brush. These were then die cut ready to be arranged on the card front.

A combination of Multipurpose glue and dimensionals were used to adhere the elements. Some faceted gems completed the card.

Some black glittered Organdy ribbon was tied in to a bow and added to the middle to hide the join between the papers.

A die cut dragonfly and sentiment was then adhered to the card.

Bermuda Leaves

Hello Everyone,

This card was inspired by a card I saw by Karen Varley at Donemark Papercrafts. You can see the original here.

I just love Bermuda Bay so I used this as a starting point to make the frame with my Stitched Rectangles dies.

I knew I wanted a sentiment for the middle. I picked out this one from the Seize the Day stamp set. This fitted perfectly onto one of the smaller rectangles.

After fiddling around with the layout, I decided I wanted to stamp around the frame. I used the Stamparatus for this so I could use 2 ink colours. I find this works best using sponge daubers to apply each colour. This stamp was from the same set. I was so pleased with the result.

I layered this panel on to Bermuda Bay card stock and then to a white card base.

The frame and sentiment were added with dimensionals.

To complete the card I added some vellum leaves. This softened the edges of the frame without being distracting.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

I used some different colours for this one, plumping for Highland Heather for the watery background.

The sentiment was added next using Lovely Lipstick ink. I used the same colour card stock to layer on to. This was adhered to a Gray Granite card base.

The heron and water lilies were stamped with Gray Granite ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images and added them to the card front with dimensionals.

Petal Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is about using up scraps. I had a bunch of Designer Series Paper strips left over from something else, (which you will see on Tuesday)!

The strips were trimmed slightly to 5-3/4 inches in length and adhered to a white card base.

A coordinating ink colour was used to stamp the bold sentiment from All Things Thanks. This was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die and adhered with dimensionals.

The same inks were used to stamp the flowers which were cut with the coordinating punch.

Lastly, some leaves were punched from vellum. These were slotted behind the flowers and secured with Multipurpose glue.

Wonderful Doily #GDP184

Hello Everyone,

This week is a Case the Designer challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with the sketch here

This is what I made…. I used the idea of layering a Doily, a label and another focal element and added a bold sentiment to the bottom.

I die cut the large doily from a white card layer and adhered this to a Berry Burst card base. The sentiment was stamped at the bottom of the card with Berry Burst ink.

A Pretty Label was punched from Sahara Sand card stock and added with dimensionals.

The blooms from the Dear Doily set were stamped using the Stamparatus tool with Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst inks. I secured these to the card with Multipurpose glue.

A die cut bow was added along with some pearls to complete the card.

Best Thing

Hello Everyone,

The Wonderful Romance bundle was instantly a favourite of mine when I first saw it in the catalogue back in November.

I haven’t used many of the dies, so this card is all about die cutting!

I used a piece of this fabulous Designer Series Paper as a backdrop for the white die cuts.

The decorative strip was adhered first by using mini dimensionals under each of the leaves.

The sentiment was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink. I love this oval Die, which was also adhered with dimensionals.

The leaves are so delicate and have great embossed details. These were slotted in behind the oval with multipurpose glue.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.
