Good Morning,
Today I am taking part in the new Inspire.Create.Challenge.
And it is a colour challenge! You can see what the design team created here!
Very summery and tropical to cheer us up.
I chose to use the Beautiful Peacock from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.
Isn’t he stunning.
I have stuck to the colours in the challenge throughout, using some of the smaller stamps to embellish the background a little.
I have matted this on to Bermuda Bay card stock, then added to a Melon Mambo card base.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Hi there,
I have finally got round to colouring in this lovely mermaid from the Magical Day stamp set.
I have used my Stampin’ Blends. You may notice that I have blended Old Olive with Pool Party for a different look.
To make the card, I have added some turquoise glimmer paper to a Pool Party card base.
The design was built on to a vellum layer. First, some Lemon Lime Twist card was cut with a die from the Petal Passion suite.
The sentiment was stamped with Pacific Point ink for some contrast.
Adhesive was applied behind these elements to hide it from the front.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.

This week’s sketch is provided by Jen B. See what she and the rest of the design team have created here!
I opted to stay with the three flowers. Mine are from the Amazing You Sale-a-bration stamp set.
These were stamped with Memento ink, coloured with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and then fussy cut.
The sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and made in to a banner. A second banner was cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock.
The card base was made with Cherry Cobbler card stock with a layer of DSP from the Tutti-Frutti stack.
The other elements were adhered with dimensionals. Some clear Wink of Stella was added to the flowers and a few rhinestones break up the background.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.

Good Morning,
I’ve been doing some “messy crafting” for today’s project.
On some watercolour paper, I stamped the headphones and sentiment from the Epic Celebration Sale-a-bration set using Archival ink.
Once the ink was completely dry, I spritzed some plain clear water over the top. Some Red and Blue Brusho crystals were sprinkled into the water.
The colour spreads an runs where the paper is wet.
The piece was then dried with a heat gun
Stampin’ Blends were used to colour the headphones for additional contrast.
Finally, some sparkle was added by flicking the pen nib.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below. Just click the pictures to be taken straight to the store.
Now is s great time to join Stampin’ Up! Choose any two additional stamp sets to add to your starter kit.

It’s a sketch challenge at the Global Design Project this week.
See what the design team have created here!
I have made use of the Tutti Frutti suite of products for my entry.
I picked out this cute pineapple design from the designer paper stack. This influenced the colour scheme for the rest of the card design.
I have started with a Crumb Cake card base. A 2 by 4 inch strip of paper was adhered to this.
Half inch Strips of So Saffron, Soft Suede, Pool Party and Whisper White card stock.
Some Silver Baker’s Twine was added to the So Saffron piece.
The focal point uses the Everyday Label punch. The sentiment from the Fruit Basket stamp set was stamped on the Whisper White strip using Pool Party ink.
Three pineapples were stamped and punched to add as embellishments.
To finish of the card, and break up the empty space, some self adhesive sequins were added.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Good Morning,
I am revisiting some old Stampin’ favourites today.
Timeless Textures is a great set to break the crafting blues.
I don’t often use Very Vanilla, but I was going for a vintage look.
The splatters on the background were stamped with Sahara Sand for a soft texture. The flowers were then stamped over the top with Soft Suede ink.
Sahara Sand and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write markers were used to colour the image.
The sentiment Thank you was stamped with Old Olive ink and cut with the new 1-1/8 scallop punch. A 1-3/8 punch was used to cut some Old Olive card stock.
Some linen thread completed the card.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.

1-7/8 by 1-7/8 (two pieces)
Designer series paper was cut to:
1-3/4 by 3-3/4 (two pieces)

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.

It’s Friday! Which means a Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
This is the inspiration sketch for this week. You can see what the Design Team made here!
I have used the beautiful Blooms and Wishes stamp set.
I have used Sweet Sugarplum and Crumb Cake as my colour scheme.
I started by stamping the white background layer with one of the blooms from the stamp set using Sweet Sugarplum ink. The centres were stamped with Crumb Cake ink. This panel was adhered to a Sweet Sugarplum card base.
The Stitched Shape framelits were combined with the Layering Circle dies to cut a ring from Crumb Cake card stock, and a scalloped circle from Sweet Sugarplum card stock.
The circles were adhered to the card front with some Silver Baker’s Twine in between.
The sentiment is from the same set. This was cut to a banner end with the Triple Banner punch and added this to the card with dimensionals.
A few rhinestones added some sparkle.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

The sentiment and ribbon were secured in place. A bow was also added to the ribbon.
An additional heart was stamped and die cut. This was adhered with dimensionals.
As a finishing touch, some basic pearls were coloured with a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend marker.

Good Morning,
I made this box to hold nine Ferrero or Lindor chocolates.
The card stock used measures 10-1/4 inches square. The base is made with Powder Pink card, whilst the lid is Berry Burst.
Score the base at 1-1/2 and 3 inches.
The lid is scored at the same measurements, but using a shim of card stock along the left hand side bar. This will ensure the lid will fit over the base.
Three flowers from the Beautiful Day stamp set were added to the lid using matching ink.
To cut the tabs, remove the three outer squares. Notch out the lose edges.
Fast Fuse was added to the outside of the small tabs. The corners were folded up. The side panels were then folded in and secured with Fast Fuse.
On the lid, the 1/2 inch circle punch was used to make finger notches.
Berry Burst metallic edge ribbon was added to the lid of the box and secured with glue dots.
The flower on top was coloured with Stampin’ Blend markers and adhered using dimensionals.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.

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

Hello Crafting Friends,
There is a super cute present bow image in this stamp set. So I made a faux present as a card topper.
The bow was stamped with second generation Bermuda Bay ink three times. These were cut out and layered decoupage style with mini dimensionals.
A 2 inch square if card stock was stamped all over with a confetti image using Lemon Lime Twist ink. This was then ‘wrapped’ with Sale-a-bration shimmer ribbon.
This was mounted on to white card stock, with a stamped sentiment. This was layered on to Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point card stock.
The white card base was stamped all over with the same confetti image before adding the topper.
I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.
Now is a great time to join my team. Find out more about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator here.

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.
