Hello Everyone,

I really love the combination of purple and grey, so I have put them together for today’s project with the Daisy Lane stamp set and medium dIsy punch.

Gray Granite ink was used to stamp the leaves around the edge of a Whisper White card layer.

The Daisy was stamped 4times with Highland Heather Ink. These were punched and layered together.

Gorgeous Grape ink was used to stamp the sentiment which I cut with the Timeless Label Punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

InspireINK Blog Hop – Retiring Faves

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop. This time we have a themed challenge to say a fond farewell to retiring products.

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

I had to use the retiring In Colours for one last card…. It was really difficult to pick which stamp set to work with. In the end I chose the Wishing You Well set with that adorable bow!

The background panel was stamped first with Lemon Lime Twist ink. I added the flowers using Powder Pink ink. This was adhered to a white card base.

The focal image, was stamped on to a Stitched Rectangle die cut. Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig were used for the foliage and Blooms. The cute bow was added with Berry Burst ink.

I finished off by using Fresh Fig ink to stamp the sentiment which was then added with dimensionals.

Stitched Rectangle dies were used to cut a frame and an additional smaller rectangle.

The sentiment from the Abstract Impressions set was stamped on to the rectangle with Flirty Flamingo ink.

The frame and sentiment were added to the card with dimensionals.

Blooms from the Pop of Petals stamp set were stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink and punched out. These were adhered with Multipurpose glue.

Leaves were punched from vellum for added texture.

I liked this so much I made this version with Highland Heather.

Especially for You

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to use my Stampin’ Blends for some relaxing colour therapy.

I picked this Bloom from the Botanical Bliss stamp set to work with.

Three flowers were stamped on to some Whisper White card stock with Memento Ink. Two others were added directly to a 3 by 4-3/4 inch card layer.

Each was coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Three of the images were fussy cut to add to the card later.

Old Olive ink was used to stamp the leaf sprigs on to the card layer which was matted on to some Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The sentiment was added next with Rich Razzleberry ink.

The Blooms were adhered with dimensionals and die cut sprigs were added in between for some texture.

The panel was finally adhered to Rich Razzleberry card base layered with Whisper White card stock with dimensionals.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a sketch challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

Sketch challenges can be interpreted in so many ways.

This is my project….. And no stamping!

I prepped a Basic Black card base. Lemon Lime Twist Designer Series Paper was added to a Basic Black card layer.

Some black glittered Organdy ribbon was tied in to a bow and added to the middle to hide the join between the papers.

A 2 inch panel of DSP was cut and layered on to Basic Black card stock and added to the card with dimensionals.

A die cut dragonfly and sentiment was then adhered to the card.

Bermuda Leaves

Hello Everyone,

This card was inspired by a card I saw by Karen Varley at Donemark Papercrafts. You can see the original here.

I just love Bermuda Bay so I used this as a starting point to make the frame with my Stitched Rectangles dies.

I knew I wanted a sentiment for the middle. I picked out this one from the Seize the Day stamp set. This fitted perfectly onto one of the smaller rectangles.

After fiddling around with the layout, I decided I wanted to stamp around the frame. I used the Stamparatus for this so I could use 2 ink colours. I find this works best using sponge daubers to apply each colour. This stamp was from the same set. I was so pleased with the result.

I layered this panel on to Bermuda Bay card stock and then to a white card base.

The frame and sentiment were added with dimensionals.

To complete the card I added some vellum leaves. This softened the edges of the frame without being distracting.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I used some different colours for this one, plumping for Highland Heather for the watery background.

The sentiment was added next using Lovely Lipstick ink. I used the same colour card stock to layer on to. This was adhered to a Gray Granite card base.

The heron and water lilies were stamped with Gray Granite ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images and added them to the card front with dimensionals.

Lots of Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen the Stamparatus tool? I couldn’t have made this card front without it!

I started at the bottom of the card stock, stamping first with Night Of Navy ink.

Keeping the card in place, the stamp plate was moved up on the hinge. I stamped the next row with Pacific Point twice.

The plate was moved up again, and stamped with Pacific Point once.

The next two levels were stamped without reinking the stamp.

The rest of the card was made by matting and layering with glimmer paper and Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper.

Petal Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is about using up scraps. I had a bunch of Designer Series Paper strips left over from something else, (which you will see on Tuesday)!

The strips were trimmed slightly to 5-3/4 inches in length and adhered to a white card base.

A coordinating ink colour was used to stamp the bold sentiment from All Things Thanks. This was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die and adhered with dimensionals.

The same inks were used to stamp the flowers which were cut with the coordinating punch.

Lastly, some leaves were punched from vellum. These were slotted behind the flowers and secured with Multipurpose glue.
