Magical Day

Good Morning!

I have the great pleasure of joining my crafting friends in the first InspirINK blog hop for 2018.

There’s lots of inspiration to be found for our January theme… Sparkle, Shimmer and Shine!

I just had to use the Magical Day stamp set.

The focal point uses the wonderful unicorn which was stamped in black ink. The mane and tail were coloured with Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry watercolour pencils, a touch of Daffodil Delight coloured the horn and a hint if Basic Grey to shade the body. Clear Wink of Stella added some magical shimmer!

My sparkles came from some Glimmer paper which I cut with the Starburst punch. I adhered this to a vellum circle that I coloured with a Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blend marker.

I prepared a white card base and cut some silver foil to add some shine! To tie in the colour scheme, I also coloured this with the Stampin’ Blend marker.

The unicorn was added to a white card stock layer and adhered to the card base.

Two additional pieces of white card stock were cut with the cloud border die from the Sunshine and Rainbows bundle. These were adhered together with Fast Fuse.

The sentiment was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink on to a strip of vellum. Because the ink doesn’t dry straight away, there is time to apply some clear embossing powder and heat set the ink.

The vellum was added to the cloud layers and then to the card with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Monochrome Wishes

Hi Folks,

When you don’t know what colour to use… Why not try a monochrome look.

This was partly inspired by the Petal Passion DSP which I have used on the background.

The sentiment is taken from a Sale-a-bration set, Happy Wishes. You may choose this with a qualifying order. Check out Sale-a-bration offers here!

I used an old favourite floral set, Falling Flowers and it’s coordinating dies to decorate the top corner of the card.

The flowers were shaped with a stylus and adhered with glue dots. The centers were adorned with Rhinestone jewels. These are self adhesive and so easy to use if you like a bit of extra bling.

Two of You Together #GDP120

This week the Global Design Project has a Case the Designer challenge. This was created by Krista Frattin. You can see what the design team created here.

And this is what I have created:

The background on the original uses DSP, which I have also pulled in to my design. This paper is black and white, but I coloured the flowers with Stampin’ Blends.

The centrepiece uses the pretty florals from the Petal Palette stamp set. The images were stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Blends.

Coordinating dies were used to cut the images. One was adhered flat whilst the other was raised on dimensionals.

A piece of ribbon was added along the bottom, also inspired by the example card.

A pair of little birds were stamped, coloured and die cut. The were added to the flowers.

The example uses the Everyday Label punch to mount the sentiment. I have used this to cut my chosen sentiment from Whisper White card stock. A second label was cut from Pink Pirouette card stock.

Some silver bakers twine was looped underneath the label which is also visible on the original design.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Lots to Love Box

Good Morning!

The Spring Summer catalogue is full of great new product suites. Today I am featuring the stamp set and die bundle from the Painted with Love suite.

The large box die was cut twice from coloured card stock.

Window sheet was adhered behind the aperture before assembling the box. You will see in the accompanying video, I forgot this step!

A 2 inch strip of vellum was bent around the box and gently creased. The join was kept to the front so that it could be covered by the embellishments.

The sentiment banner was stamped on to a scrap of coloured card stock and die cut. This was added across the front of the box.
