Inspired Thursday – Playing with Poinsettias

Hello Everyone,

Did you see the Project Share Project blog post this morning? If not you can see it here

From Jill’s card I am using the striped layout with the Dainty Diamonds embossed centre panel.

From Heather’s card I am using the Playing with Patterns designer series paper and embellishments.

From Gez’s card I am using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set.

And this is the result!

See how I made this card in my video tutorial…..

So pleased with how this turned. The red card stock was definitely the right choice.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Blended Postage Stamps

Hello Everyone,

I am experimenting with a different layout using Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch today.

I think I may have gone a little overboard with the dimension on this one, but I do like how the 4 rectangles came together in to a square shape.

The images were coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers, so the line art was stamped with water based Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I added some mess free glitter with a Wink of Stella glitter brush pen and a few pearls completed the card!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Rest and Relax

Hello Everyone,

Something tropical for today using Timeless Tropical and coordinating In the Tropics dies.

I used the Stamparatus tool to stamp the palm trees. This helped achieve a multicoloured image.

An alternative would be to use Stampin’ Write markers.

Birthday Card using the Beauty Abounds stamp set

Hello Everyone,

This card has been inspired by the technique used by Ruth at Artful Stampin’… she has loads of videos on creating backgrounds in this style. I hope she approves of the colours I chose!

The background was created with the Beauty Abounds stamp set. The sentiment was borrowed from Zany Zebras.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I’m really pleased with how this turned out. If you give this a go I’d love to see your creations

Ombre Style Background with The Right Triangle Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

Something a bit different for today’s project.

You may well have seen my other projects featuring this stamp set, so I thought I would try another using one of the smaller images.

I started with this grey design, but changed my final design to fit more neatly on the card front.

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

InspireInk Blog Hop – 2020-2022 In Colours

Good Morning Everybody,

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

Please be sure to click through all the projects in the hop by clicking on the link below.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Click here to see the other entries!

For my design, I used post it notes to mask off sections of the cardstock to create a striped background.

The grid paper helped plan where the masks needed to be placed.

Stampin’ Sponges were used to apply the ink to each section. More colour was used along the left hand edge for an ombre look.

The vellum panel is 3 inches wide and long enough to wrap around the striped panel and secure with tape.

The “happy” die was added over the top with multipurpose glue.

Coordinating inks are used to stamp the rest of the greeting. Flag ends were punched with the Tailored Tag punch and adhered with dimensionals.

Small Blooms were cut from Whisper White card stock with a matching enamel dot placed in the centres.

You can see how the card was made in my video tutorial…

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

Festive Friday with Jolly Holly

Hello Everyone,

Here’s a sneaky peek at a new stamp set coming soon in the new mini catalogue!

I just love the simplicity of this set, and I made a very simple one layer card.

Using the Stamparatus tool, meant I could stamp the leaves and the sentiment very quickly. It would be easy to make multiple cards too.

Watch how I put this together in a flash in my video tutorial….

The berries were coloured separately with a Stampin’ Write marker. Red rhinestones would look lovely too!

I hope you enjoyed this project.
