Today’s card is my design team make for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

For Challenge #183 we are using a sketch challenge for all our projects!

I have picked some favourite last chance products for my card.

Some ribbon was added before adhering this to the card base.

A Deckled Rectangle die cut was also inked and added with Dimensionals.

Coordinating ink was used to stamp a large butterfly to add to the rectangle.

Finally, I added the sentiment, and a butterfly on the inside of the card.

I’ve used the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set to make my card today based on page 127 of the annual catalogue.

I tried my hand at some ink smoothing, adding Fresh Freesia and Costal Cabana ink to a piece of Basic White cardstock.

The hummingbird and sentiment were stamped with Night of Navy ink.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

Layers were cut from Crumb Cake cardstock. Some heat embossing was also added to the larger panel, and finished with some baker’s twine.

I’ve used the Yuletide Village stamp set to make my card today.

I stamped the houses with Memento Ink so I could use Stampin’ Blends to colour them in.

The stamped panel was layered on to Coastal Cabana cardstock and added to a Poppy Parade card base.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The sentiment was taken from the Peaceful Season stamp set and cut with the coordinating dies.

Inspire Create Challenge #180 – Colour Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #180 we are using a colour challenge for all our projects!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

Whilst the greys are sombre colours that lend themselves to sympathy cards, they can still make something beautiful.

I’ve worked with four shades today, this sample uses the warmer Gray Granite and Pebbled Path. You can see the difference in the look with cool shades Basic Grey and Smoky Slate below.

I chose to work with the Layers of Beauty decorative masks.

The large image was die cut and added to complementary card bases and layered panels. The bright white was knocked back with the residual ink on my blending brush.

The sentiment was cut with a die or punch with a touch of ribbon behind and finished with some grey pearls.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge…. Challenge #178 is all about Autumn or Halloween!

You can see what the design team has created and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I decided to mix up the two themes, using an alternative Halloween colour way for these beautiful autumn leaves.

I added some ink to the card panel to complement the leaves in the design.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The leaves were fussy cut and added in various angles with some lifted on dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink to carry through the theme.

Here’s a more traditional version using Wild Wheat, Pumpkin Pie and Copper Clay.

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #177 we are using a floral theme for all our projects!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I am using the Snowy Wonder bundle to make my card.

The Blackberry Bliss panel was cut to 4¾ x 3 and then cut at angle. Small trees and snowflakes were added in matching ink for a tone on tone effect.

The sentiment was added in the bottom corner.

A selection of cardstock scraps, (all subtles in this case), were stamped and die cut and adhered to a Basic White circle. I used a spare die cut but you could use a punch or a different shape altogether.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

Finally, some grey pearls were added to the front, and some trees were stamped on the inside.

Here’s an alternative combo using Night of Navy and the 2024 in colours.

I’ve been experimenting with variations of the Joseph’s Coat technique.

For this one, I used pinks and purples to colour the some Basic White cardstock.

The flowers from the Labelled with Love stamp set wre used to stamp over the background with versamark ink. These were then heat embossed with clear powder.

Berry Burst ink was added over the top of the embossing allowing the background colours to show through.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

This version is more traditional, in that it uses black ink to create the resist. The background was coloured with subtles inks.

And for these….

I used the brights inks with the butterflies, and added Night of Navy.

For something completely different, I went for an ombre background of Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock!

Inspire Create Challenge #175 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #175 we are using a sketch to inspire our projects!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

As usual, I prefer a portrait layout, so I have rotated the sketch for my design.

I added Pretty Peacock ink to the background panel with a blending brush.

The Distressed Tile embossing folder was then used for a letterpress technique with Wild Wheat ink.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I find that the results are best with two passes through the die cut machine.

I used my paper trimmer to slice the panel into sections.

A Heartfelt Hexagon was added at the intersection. Sketched Butterflies dies were substituted for gems or pearls!

Try other colour combinations… This one is more muted, with Copper Clay and Basic Beige.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

The panel was layered onto matching cardstock.

Some twine was added before adhering to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped to match the card base and die cut using the Everyday Details die. This was added to a larger die cut, and adhered to the card with dimensionals.

This version uses Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat!
