May SU Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I made this card ages ago and completely forgot to share it!

I have to different ink blending methods to create this project.

I also used the amazing Tropic Chic stamp set which is sadly retiring. To achieve the gradient colour on the leaves, I used the Stamparatus tool, inking and stamping each image twice.

Here is video showing how to create a blended background!

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.

April SU colour challenge

Hello Everyone,

Time for another colour challenge. This is a Facebook group challenge, just for fun, to stretch the creativity.

My card also features retiring products, Perennial Birthday stamp set, the Pretty Label Punch and Call Me Clover ink.

I started by adding a band of colour across a white card layer using a stamping sponge and wrapping some polka dot ribbon around it.

The flowers and foliage were added next and the panel was adhered to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Call Me Clover ink and punched with the Pretty 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.

Inspire.Create #064

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

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

And this is what I created!

My choice of colour was Lovely Lipstick. I thought this would add some contrast to the otherwise neutral pallette.

The base card was prepared using Crumb Cake card stock. Layers of Night of Navy and White were cut with Stitched Rectangle dies.

I picked a bold sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set. This was cut with the coordinating die. Before sticking this down, I first added foliage images from the Pop of Petals stamp set and Crumb Cake ink.

Three flowers were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the coordinating 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.

I wanted to create something different…. And this is it!

I used the Tailored Tag punch to cut shapes from Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Silver Glimmer card stock. These were adhered to a piece of white card stock.

The excess was trimmed away and layered with more glimmer paper before adding to a white card base.

Real Red ink was used to stamp the sentiment which was also cut with the Tailored Tag punch. This was adhered with dimensionals.

CAS Colours and Sketches #355

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is my entry for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.

This week there is a sketch to work with. The design team have created some very creative samples that you can see here

As I missed out on the previous week’s colour challenge, I’m throwing this in too just for fun!

And this is what I have designed.

I have used the Daisy Lane bundle from the annual catalogue.

I started by stamping the leaf from the set with Granny Apple Green ink. This panel was added to a white card base with dimensionals.

Daisies were stamped in Seaside Spray ink and punched out. These were adhered along the top of the stamped panel.

The sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration set, Sending you Thoughts. I used Rococo Rose ink and cut these with a Stitched Rectangle die.

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.

More Thoughtful Blooms

Hello Everyone,

I just love this stamp set and punch! There are so many colour combinations I want to try. This combo was suggested by the SU colour challenge Facebook group!

Merry Merlot was used to add the small flowers to the open stems. The spaces were filled with the tiny elements in the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink.

Lovely Lipstick and Sahara Sand card stock was added to a white card base. The stamped panel was trimmed down and adhered with dimensionals.

The blooms were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and punched out. Champagne rhinestones were added to the centres.

The sentiment was die cut using the Ornate Frames set. This was adhered with dimensionals.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my project for the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

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

And this is what I created!

The card features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and coordinating Small Bloom Punch available during Sale-a-bration.

To make the card I used Bermuda Bay and Petal Pink inks to create the background. This was layered on to So Saffron card stock and then to a Bermuda Bay card base with dimensionals.

Blooms were stamped with So Saffron ink and punched out. Each was shaped with a ball stylus and adhered to the card. A clear Epoxy dot was added to the centres.

The sentiment was die cut with the smallest shape from the Stitched So Sweetly set.

A Petal Pink bow completed the card.

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 colour challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

This was quite a tricky combination! Once I decided that Lovely Lipstick and Old Olive would be used for a floral, I picked out Pop of Petals to create my design.

I used Blushing Bride card stock to make the card base which I stamped with coordinating ink.

Leaves were stamped on the topper panel with Old Olive ink and layered with Night of Navy card stock.

The flowers were stamped on to some scrap card stock using Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the coordinating punch.

The Well Said stamp set provided the sentiment which was stamped with Night of Navy ink. The Classic Label punch fits over this perfectly and was adhered with mini dimensionals.

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

And this is what I created!

If I’m honest I wasn’t sure what I wanted to create to begin with, I don’t have all the ink colours. But I have the card stock! I already had these Stitched Rectangles left over from another project.

For some added interest, though it is not clear on the photos, I stamped the script image from the Very Versaille stamp set with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder.

The coloured rectangle was added towards the right hand side of the card with dimensionals.

I wanted a bold sentiment, I picked this one from Rooted in Nature.

This was stamped with Memento ink and die cut with a Stitched Circle. Each circle was mounted on to a Pearlized Doily.

Best Wishes #GDP181

Hello Everyone,

This week is a colour challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with this colour palette here

I have to say when I pulled these from my colour caddy I wasn’t instantly inspired.

But I remembered something I had shown my downline about using the Stamparatus to create multicoloured images.

With that in mind, I decided to use Petal Palette to make my project.

And this is my card…

I started by preparing the florals.

I mounted the stamp onto the clear door of the tool. I used sponge daubers to apply the inks.

I stamped with Daffodil Delight ink first. Cleaned the stamp and then applied Grapefruit Grove. I repeated this with Lemon Lime Twist. The images were die cut with the coordinating Framelits.

I prepped a card base using Daffodil Delight card stock and added a Lemon Lime Twist layer.

Before adding Whisper White, I first stamped some foliage to add detail to the background.

The die cuts were adhered to the bottom of the card with dimensionals.

A sentiment was stamped with Grapefruit Grove ink and cut with a die from the same set.

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