I am using some fabulous new punches for a geometric background. The Inked and Tiled punch pack is great value and can be used as a duo or individually…

Inspire.Create.Challenge #139 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

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

Challenge #139 is a Sketch – a layout suggestion to create the card. This isn’t in keeping with my usual style but I’m giving it a try!

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

I have used the fabulous In Colours for my project today.

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

I have tried to stick to the sketch as closely as possible so I used the Heart Punch Pack to cut layers of vellum and cardstock.

The strips for the background are embossed / debossed and added to the Basic White panel at an angle.

For the original card the strips were tone on tone stamped and the sentiment was heat embossed.

What is your favourite In Colour?

Inspire.Create.Challenge #134 – Case the Designer!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and another Inspire.Create.Challenge!

Challenge #134 is to Case the Designer…. Me!

This was my take on the “floating DSP” technique.

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below… We’d love to see your makes!

I have recreated my card with coloured cardstock rather than designer series paper. All these colours are in the Brights colour family.

With all the colour in the circle element, I kept the rest of the card in monochromatic black and white.

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

The sentiment was taken from the Something Fancy stamp set and cut with coordinating dies.

This sample uses the Subtles colour family and is embellished with iridescent pastel gems.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and to my Inspire.Create.Challenge design team project!

Click the button below to see the other design team inspiration projects. You can also take part and add a photo of your creation here too!

I chose to work with a brand new stamp bundle called Dainty Delight.

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

I combined colours from the bright and subtle colour families for the layering and chose a matching ink for the sentiment.

The image was coloured very simply with Stampin’ Blends.

A touch of ink blending in the background makes the die cut elements pop.

I opted not to add extra embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenges #129 – Festive!

Hello Everyone,

It’s time for another Inspire.Create Challenge! And this time we are being festive with our creations!

You can see the other design team projects over on the Inspire Create Challenge blog

While you are there we would love to see what you make with this theme, just upload your image and we will pick a winner!

My card today features the Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember stamp sets.

I chose a bright colour palette of Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade for the Holly leaves and berries.

For some contrast I picked out another colour from the “brights” collection – my fave – Bermuda Bay – and used this for the sentiment and card base!

For this sample I switched to the “subtles” collection of colours, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue but kept the layout the same.

Both cards were embellished with this gorgeous gold ribbon!

I hope you enjoyed this project.
