Biggest Wish – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Bright Colour Challenge featuring the Biggest Wish Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

You all know how much I love colour challenges…. This one is on Facebook, why not check it out!

This one is a bright palette I would never have put together but I was really pleased with what I created.

I’ve used an old faithful in the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. The bold sentiment will do a lot of the work for this design.

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

A spritz of water added some fun detail in the blended background.

The small stamp in the set and the Neutral sequins embellished the card!

Here’s another idea with same stamp set and blended background used in a different way.

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’!

Ombre Background with the Best Label Punch

Hello Everyone,

Today I am using this cute Best Label punch to create a background.

I have chosen an ombre style with a series of colours down the card.

This design is a fab scrap buster card too… Just pick your favourite colours!

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

I did rectify my upside down card from the video by cutting off the front and trimming it to fit on a fresh card base 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Quick Stash Busting Cards with Retiring Colours!

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you an idea to use up your cardstock stash. I’m using up retiring colours too.

Eleven colours from the main collection are retiring. These samples use Sahara Sand, Bermuda Bay and Rick Razzleberry. The others are listed at end of this post.

The Biggest Wish stamp set makes quick, bold cards and brilliant for the guys too!

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

I also used the wonderful Stamparatus tool, sadly this is also retiring and no longer available.

Exactly the same process was used for all the cards – this is Rich Razzleberry!

Here are all the other cards using Merry Merlot, Pear Pizzazz, Mango Melody, Pacific Point, Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Soft Suede and Mint Macaron!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Creating with the Textures and Frames Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

I’m finally inking up this stamp set today…. You can choose this as a free item during the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration promotion that runs until 30th September!

This set is right up my street, simple to use background builders are always high on my list to add to my stash! Doesn’t go well with the Biggest Wish set (another favourite of mine).

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

The sentiment combination was changed around in the two samples to give a different look…

The Subtles are in use with this sample which makes the black sentiment pop. The matte black dots tie the design together…

I hope you enjoyed this project.

InspireINK Blog Hop – Keeping it Simple!

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop. This time we all “keeping it simple”!

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

I have chosen to work with the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper. This is one of the fabulous papers you can earn during Sale-a-bration! This coordinates with the Hand Penned Petals Suite in the Annual Catalogue too!

I put this with the Biggest Wish stamp set which is great versatile set for beginner cardmakers!

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

I picked out three different ribbons to compliment the cards. Of course you don’t NEED to use all three, but this shows you some options. I kept it simple by tying knots rather than bows.

Whilst the black and white, monochromatic look suits the paper, just look what happens when you introduce a coloured card base!

This is Melon Mambo….

And these are Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green. All are in the Brights colour family.

Here are the cards I make in my video ….

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Monday Colour Challenge with the Flower Market Die

Hello Everyone,

This week’s Monday Colour Challenge is…..

Early Espresso
Crushed Curry
Crumb Cake

Changing the colour of the card base completely changed how the finished card looks!

Here’s a close up of the original sample…

Which one is your favourite?

A Final Card with Borders to Backgrounds

Hello Everyone,

The January to June Mini catalogue will retire in just over a week’s time…. And sadly this stamp set has already sold out 😦

But I still wanted to show you these cards I made with the Stamparatus tool. So if you managed to get the stamp set or you have something similar you can try this out!

You can see how I made these cards in my video tutorial…

The Biggest Wish stamp set lives on the desk at the moment…. I just love it!

I have used complimentary colours to make my cards. I think that these would also look good with black accents too!

And here’s a bonus card I didn’t show on my video! This combo is Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Something Different with Butterfly Brilliance

Hello Everyone,

I’m trying something new today with the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set.

After a team meeting, I remembered a technique from many years ago where pigment powder was brushed over versamark ink, so I thought I would give it a go with the new Soft Pastels.

There are 8 colours in the pack;

Poppy Parade
Mango Melody
Daffodil Delight
Granny Apple Green
Mossy Meadow
Coastal Cabana
Night of Navy
Gorgeous Grape

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

You can achieve different looks by adding more of the Soft Pastel!

The bold black sentiments add impact to the card design and are emphasized by the black border created with the layering.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Monday Colour Challenge with Watercolour Shapes

Hello Everyone,

Monday is here again…. so it’s time for a colour challenge!

This week’s colours are;

Night of Navy
Merry Merlot
Pacific Point

I’d already decided that I was going to work with the Watercolour Shapes stamp set regardless off the colours that came out.

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

I think they worked out quite well in the end and I do love the bold sentiments in the Biggest Wish set!

The original samples were made using the skinny rectangle shape.

The Merry Merlot sentiment is my favourite, which is yours?

Old meets New Simple Floral Friendship Card

Hello Everyone,

I love the simplicity of today’s card featuring an old favourite with the fabulous new set Biggest Wish.

A stamparatus tool would be really useful to stamp the background if you have one.

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

The coordination of the ribbon used pulls the whole design together.

This sample uses Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss.

Which is your favourite?

The bold lettering of the Biggest Wish stamp set was the perfect pairing.
