Inspire.Create.Challenges #128 – Colour Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today. This project is my design team inspiration for our next change… And it’s my fave… A colour challenge!

You can take par by visiting he Inspire.Create.Challenges blog HERE where you will also find the other design team ideas!

I have pulled out the Framed Occasions stamp set and the Splatters and Stripes embossing folders to use.

I added colour to the layering panel and embossing using blending brushes. I was careful not to overlap … That would make brown!

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Floating DSP Technique using Hues of Happiness

Hello Everyone,

I thought I’d give this technique a try today using some scraps from my desk! I’ve seen this a few times, most recently by Jill at Paper Daisy Crafting….

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

I don’t use a lot of DSP but I saw some amazing samples from Craft with Jayne and bought some. This technique is great for using scraps!

I think this one in blue is my favourite!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Recreating Helzie’s Colour Pop Card!

Hello Everyone,

I had the best weekend with 40 other demonstrators at our team retreat put together by my upline Sam!

Part of the fun was learning to make projects designed by others. This card is inspired by Helzie’s make and take project. You can find her on Social Media as Slimm and Stylish

I twisted my original card sample to include this colour pop technique.

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

My colour combo was Crumb Cake, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent and Soft Sea Foam…

I added the sentiment banner and some White Frayed Ribbon and finished it all off with Basic Pearls.

Here are the cards I made at the retreat!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Using the Rays of Light Background Stamp

Hello Everyone,

Today I thought I would show you how you can use the Rays of Light background stamp with the Stamparatus tool.

In this example I used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Night of Navy inks.

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

The Stamparatus made it easy to layer the colours and add the versamark ink!

This sample used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks.

Why not try stamping onto patterned paper or an ink blended background?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Easel Card with Colour and Contour

Hello Everyone,

I’m bringing out another favourite stamp set for today’s card!

I created a hand stamped background, opting to use Basic Grey rather than black ink for a softer look. This complimented the Highland Heather ink I added to the flowers.

For something different I made this into an easel card. I thought this provided an opportunity for the beautiful scalloped edge to shine through.

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

The original card used So Saffron. I love this cute new tag punch!

The ribbon and embellishments were coloured with a Stampin’ Blend marker to coordinate them with the project.

I’ve used the Hand-penned Petals stamp set and matching dies for my project.

I have used a book fold layout for this card.

The “spine” was embellished with die cut cardstock and Pool Party Sheer ribbon.

The focal images were stamped in Smoky Slate ink and coloured with Mint Macaron, Tahitian Tide and Pool Party.

I added to word love using the Alphabest bundle, stamping with the coordinating inks and added some rhinestones.
