Make Me Proud

Hello Everyone,

My absolute favourite colour from the new release has got to be Blackberry Bliss – just love it!

So today’s project is made entirely in this colour – well except the Whisper White to stamp on.

I randomly stamped the leaves using first, second and third generation ink.

Some Nature’s Twine was wrapped around this panel which was then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped and trimmed down to size. The corners were rounded with the Detailed Trio punch.

A tree from the Rooted in Nature stamp set was die cut and added to the card.

To finish the card, I added some faceted dots.

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

Friend #FMS341

Friday is Freshly Made Sketch day!

This week Narelle has provided this circle inspired sketch. The design team have created some fabulous samples. You can see them all here!

Today I am using the Botanical Bliss stamp set.

The card base is made with Highland Heather card stock which was stamped with the geometric shape in the set using matching ink.

This sentiment strip a cross the centre was first stamped with the leaves using Soft Sea Foam ink. Blackberry Bliss ink was then used for the sentiment itself. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The florals were also stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. A blender pen was used to pull ink from the outline in the centre and leaves. Wink of Stella clear glitter added some sparkle. These were mounted on to a 1-3/8 scalloped circle with a dimensional.

Soft Sea Foam card stock was punched with the Leaf punch and added to each circle.

A few Soft Sea Foam sequins finished the card.

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

Sending Well Wishes

Good Morning,

I couldn’t wait to get this stamp set!

This card I have kept really simple, but have other ideas on how to use this set in the future.

I chose to use the single dandelion as the feature image. This was stamped using Gray Granite ink and trimmed to fit the standard card base. This could have been kept larger for a landscape oriented card.

To keep with the soft look, I decided to use Petal Pink card stock as the base. I used the coordinating ink to add the dandelion seeds for a tone on tone look.

The stamped panel was matted on to Blackberry Bliss card stock and adhered to the card base.

To add some interest, the sentiment was stamped on to a 2 inch circle of white card stock and adhered with dimensionals.

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

Love & Thanks #GDP142

Good Morning,

The Global Design Project has a sketch challenge this week.

You can see the samples made by the design team here!

I have used Tropical Escapes suite to make my card for the challenge.

I picked out some Designer Series paper which was cut at an angle. I didn’t measure it, just what looked appealing. This was adhered to a white card base.

The opposite side was punched with a 2 inch circle punch and added with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.

Two leaves were stamped with first and second generation ink and die cut. These were positioned under the sentiment and secured with snail adhesive.

A double bow was tied from silver Baker’s twine and added with a glue dot. Some Mint Macaron faceted dots finished the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Dream

Hello Everyone,

I love this new stamp set and couldn’t wait to make my own dream catcher!

To make the dream catcher I started by stamping the base image with Gray Granite ink and die cutting.

The additional catcher elements and larger feathers were die cut from white card stock. Mint Macaron ink was sponged over these before layering them together with multipurpose glue.

The small feathers were stamped with Balmy Blue ink. These were also die cut and adhered to the centre of the dream catcher.

Finally, the word dream was die cut from Basic Gray card stock. Wink of Stella clear glitter was added over the top and then adhered to the card with multipurpose glue.

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

The Greatest – Just Add Ink #412

Good Morning,

As ever on a Monday, I am taking part in a challenge. Today it it stage Just Add Ink challenge.

Which two would you choose? The design team have made some great projects as inspiration which you see here.

I went through my stash for all things spotty! I found this designer series paper from the Tropical Escapes collection. I then designed the rest of my card around this.

I made the card base from Blushing Bride card stock.

Soft Seafoam card stock was cut to 3-3/4 by 5 inches. This was used as a mat for the patterned paper.

Some polka dot tulle ribbon was tied around the panel and then adhered to the card base.

For the feature piece I used the coordinating Tropical Chic stamp set and dies.

Several leaves were stamped with first, second and third generation Shaded Spruce ink. These were die cut ready to use.

A square of Soft Seafoam card stock was stamped with the speckles from the Timeless Textures set using Shaded Spruce ink. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Tropical Chic set was stamped on to white card stock and also added with dimensionals.

The leaves were then arranged on the card and adhered in place with multipurpose glue.

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

Detailed with Love

Good Morning,

I have created my very own background for today’s card. Ordinarily, this would have been very challenging but using the Stamparatus made it so much easier.

I would recommended practising first.

To begin, the stamp was placed on the left hand edge of the white card stock.

The stamp was picked up on the door of the Stamparatus, inked up with Lovely Lipstick ink and stamped on to the card.

Using the hinge step technique, the stamp was repeated along the card.

The stamp was repositioned to create the next row, and so on until the card was covered.

Some metallic edge ribbon was attached below centre before adhering to a Lovely Lipstick card base.

The feature stamp was inked with Lovely Lipstick and stamped on to Whisper White card stock. This was die cut using the Layering Ovals framelits. These were also used to cut a scalloped layer too.

Once assembled, this was was attached to the card with dimensionals.

A small bow was added to the ribbon to complete the card.

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

The hostess code for June is 4QCQ4HPT.

Bloom with Happiness #FMS340

Hi All,

The Freshly Made Sketches team have provided some lovely inspiration for this card sketch. You can see them all here!

I have used the Varied Vases bundle to make my card today.

A 2-1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock was stamped using Gray Granite ink and the flower image.

Balmy Blue ink was used to fill in the flower heads and add the sentiment.

The vases were punched from white card stock and adhered over the stems.

The panel was added to a 2-3/4 inch strip of Balmy Blue card stock and then on to a Gray Granite card base.

Finally, some Wink of Stella clear glitter was added to the flowers.

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

Artisan Congrats

Good Morning!

Loving the colour combination on this card today. They are all part of the Neutrals colour family! Following the “Colour Revamp” Mossy Meadow has returned, Night of Navy has moved from the Regal colour family and there is the fabulous new Merry Merlot and Gray Granite!

I have used the Artisan Textures stamp set, (love this set) and combined it with the Lined Alphabet set to create my own bold sentiment.

The letters were stamp first with clear Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear powder.

Each of the inks were used to stamp over the top of the embossed letters, then the excess gently wiped away. This added to the grungy effect.

Gray Granite was used to add some extra texture. The panel was trimmed down and mounted on to black card stock.

Some Linen Thread was wrapped around the bottom of the panel before adhering to the card base.

The additional portion of the sentiment was taken from the Itty Bitty Greetings set. This was also stamped in clear Versamark ink on to black card. This was heat embossed with white powder. This was added to the card using dimensionals.

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

A white layer was embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.

Three leaves were stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink and die cut.

Three squares were also die cut from white card stock, these could also be cut using a trimmer.

The sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink and trimmed down to get an even border.

Big Time

Good Morning Everybody,

I fancied doing some colouring so I pulled out this Animal Outing stamp set.

As I was using Stampin’ Blends to colour, I stamped the images with Memento ink on to a 3-1/2 square of Whisper White card stock.

The rhino was coloured with Smoky Slate and Ivory;

The frog is Rich Razzleberry;

The bird is Pool Party and Bermuda Bay;

Old Olive and Bronze were used for the branch.

The card base was made from Call Me Clover card stock which was cut to 8 by 4 inches, scored at 4 inches.

A 2 inch strip of In Colour DSP was added to the right hand side of the card, then embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textures embossing folder.

Layering Squares framelits were used to make a small frame of card stock which was adhered at an angle with mini dimensionals. Some Wink of Stella glitter pen added some sparkle.

The stamped panel adhered over the top of this.

The cute sentiment was stamped with Call Me Clover ink and cut with a 1-1/4 inch circle punch. This was added to a 1-3/8 scallop circle cut from the same DSP.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below. Click the picture to be directed to the online store.

Cue the Confetti

Good Morning!

Welcome to another InspireInk blog hop! This is a group of crafty friends giving inspiration based on a theme.

I have taken advantage of the bright new In Colours for my design and nothing says fun better than a shaker card!

The Pick a Pennant stamp set was used to add banners across to top of the card base using Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover and Grapefruit Grove ink.

The shaker element is made using the layering squares framelits. I decided to use a double frame cut from Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch card stock. Iridescent sequins were used in the shaker.

The sentiment was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink. The Tailored Tag punch was used to shape the end.

Finally, the Balloon Bouquet punch was used to cut balloons in all five colours and arranged on the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Textures of the Sea #FMS339

Hello Everyone,

This week’s sketch challenge has been set by Jen Brum.

The design team have made some great projects as inspiration; you can see them all on the Freshly Made Sketches blog, here!

This is my entry for the challenge;

I really wanted to use Sea of Textures on this card. I thought the shape could be a coral reef on the sea bed.

I picked out some paper from the coordinating designer series paper collection. The paper was cut diagonally, one piece was flipped over to create the “V” shape.

Before adhering to the card, I stamped the tall sea weed across the background with Tranquil Tide ink.

The papers were added to the card, leaving space for other pieces to be positioned behind them.

Other seaweed and coral elements were die cut from Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig. These were tucked in place.

Finally, the octopus was stamped with Night of Navy ink, die cut and adhered with dimensionals.

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

Getting There

Hello Everyone,

The project for today uses the new Lilypad Lake bundle.

I like to use the “small stamps” to make cards as they can get overlooked.

This card features the little sail boats, I thought the sentiment was just right.

I have used Whisper White card stock to stamp on measuring 3-3/4 by 5-1/4 inches.

A combination of Coastal Cabana and Balmy Blue ink was used to stamp the water. First, second and third generation stamping added depth and texture.

The sentiment was stamped so the first half lay on the horizon, with the second part off set to the right.

The boats were stamped with Poppy Parade and Gorgeous Grape inks. A blender pen was used to move the ink slightly to add a hint of colour to the sails.

These were die cut and adhered to the card, using a combination of snail and dimensionals.

The panel was added to Tranquil Tide card stock and then on to a Very Vanilla card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below. They will be available to purchase from 1st June.

If you don’t have a copy of the new catalogue, please contact me and I will send one out to you free of charge!

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stampin’!

Thinking of You #GDP140

Good Morning Everyone!

This week the Global Design Project team are casing this wonderful card from Brian King.

You can see all their cards here!

This is my interpretation using the new Rooted in Nature bundle.

A piece of Whisper White card stock was cut to 3 by 4-3/4 inches.

The bottom portion was stamped with leaves using second generation Soft Sea Foam and Mint Macaron inks.

The sentiment was added over top with black ink.

The Rooted in Nature dies include some elements that will emboss rather the cut. The coordinating stamped leaves were embossed with the Big Shot.

The panel was adhered to some Soft Suede card stock. This was then added to a Tranquil Tide card base using dimensionals.

The beautiful tree as stamped twice with Blackberry Bliss ink and die cut. The lighter image was adhered flat, the other was raised using mini dimensionals.

As a final touch, some Grapefruit Grove twine was added to the tree trunk.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below, and available from 1st June.

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stampin’!

Varied Vases

Good Morning!

Introducing Varied Vases stamp set and punch bundle!

As a demonstrator, I get to order brand new goodies ahead of time. These products will be available in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue which goes live for customers on Friday 1st June. Find out how to join my team here!

I have kept this card very simple.

I started by stamping the shelves in Sahara Sand ink.

As I was using the punch to add the vases, I added the flower outlines with Memento ink. The corresponding blooms were added using the beautiful Mango Melody and Petal Pink inks.

The vases were stamped with Balmy Blue and Highland Heather inks and cut with coordinating punch. These were added to the card with dimensionals.

The little sentiment was add with black ink and the panel added to some Wild Wasabi card before adhered to a white card base.

This is such a lovely set, I am sure I will be doing a lot more with this!

Have you got your copy of the new catalogue? Drop me a message and I will send one out to you, FREE of charge!

Hello – Just Add Ink #410

Good Morning!

The challenge this week is to use this colourful image as inspiration for a project.

You can see what the design team have made by clicking here!

For me, it was the colours that stood out, along with the bunting and the word ‘hello’.

And this is what I came up with.

The deep green of the wall in the image was mirrored by the Tranquil Tide card base. Clear Versamark ink was used to stamp bunting from the new Pick a Pennant stamp set across the background.

I picked out Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove and the brand new Petal Pink inks to stamp more bunting across a piece of white card stock. This was layered onto Berry Burst and Tempting Turquoise card stock.

I used the Lined Alphabet stamp set to create the word ‘hello’. This was stamped in Versamark ink and then heat embossed with gold powder. The letters were coloured with Bermuda Bay watercolour pencil.

To finish the card, I took the idea of the spots in the background, and added Tranquil Tide pearls from the set of Artisan Pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this project. Some of the supplies used are listed below and are available from 1st June.

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stampin’!
