Inspire. Create. Challenge #009

Hi Everyone,

I am joining the Inspire. Create. Challenge again this week. The them is…. Love! You can see what the design team made here!

I have used Heart Happiness and Petal Palette stamp sets from the Spring Summer catalogue.

I started with the sentiment. This was stamped with Calypso Coral ink and die cut with the coordinating die.

Before adhering this down, I decided where the ribbon would lie and then stamped hearts with second generation ink.

The sentiment and ribbon were secured in place. A bow was also added to the ribbon.

An additional heart was stamped and die cut. This was adhered with dimensionals.

As a finishing touch, some basic pearls were coloured with a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend marker.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!

Monochrome Wishes

Hi Folks,

When you don’t know what colour to use… Why not try a monochrome look.

This was partly inspired by the Petal Passion DSP which I have used on the background.

The sentiment is taken from a Sale-a-bration set, Happy Wishes. You may choose this with a qualifying order. Check out Sale-a-bration offers here!

I used an old favourite floral set, Falling Flowers and it’s coordinating dies to decorate the top corner of the card.

The flowers were shaped with a stylus and adhered with glue dots. The centers were adorned with Rhinestone jewels. These are self adhesive and so easy to use if you like a bit of extra bling.

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

Fabulous You

Hello Crafting Friends,

There is a super cute present bow image in this stamp set. So I made a faux present as a card topper.

The bow was stamped with second generation Bermuda Bay ink three times. These were cut out and layered decoupage style with mini dimensionals.

A 2 inch square if card stock was stamped all over with a confetti image using Lemon Lime Twist ink. This was then ‘wrapped’ with Sale-a-bration shimmer ribbon.

This was mounted on to white card stock, with a stamped sentiment. This was layered on to Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point card stock.

The white card base was stamped all over with the same confetti image before adding the topper.

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

Now is a great time to join my team. Find out more about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator here.

Bubble Over

Hi Everyone,

Today I am using products from Bubble Over suite, including a Sale-a-bration DSP.

I prepared a card base using Garden Green card stock and adhered this fun DSP to the front.

The bottles have been die cut from the paper too. Alternatively, these could be cut with scissors.

Straws were die cut from Whisper White card stock. Some multipurpose liquid glue was used to secure these to the back of each bottle.

I adhered the smaller bottles first, then added larger ones in the middle with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The ends were cut with the Everyday Label punch.

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

Lots of Lavender

Hi Everyone,

Lots of Lavender is a beautiful new set that is available during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order.

The lavender image was stamped with black Memento ink. The set includes stamps that can be used to “colour” the main image. I used Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry. All were stamped off once for a more subtle effect.

The panel was added to Pear Pizzazz card stock and then on to a Wisteria Wonder card base with dimensionals.

There are no sentiments in the set, so I used Sunshine Sayings and Garden Green ink.

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

Always Thinking of You

Hi Everyone,

This beautiful butterfly is the star of the show on this card.

The image was stamped on to Whisper White card stock with Memento ink and allowed to dry completely.

I used Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to colour the image. Markers are available as a complete set, (12 plus bronze, ivory and a colour lifter), as a combo set, ( light and dark shades of a particular colour), or individually, allowing you to collect markers to suit your crafting.

Each section of the image was coloured separately.

The colours used were Light Pool Party, Dark Pool Party and Light Bermuda Bay. Each colour was blended into the previous creating a soft gradient of shading.

The layer was adhered to a Pool Party card base.

The sentiment is also from the set. This was stamped in black and added to the card using mini dimensionals.

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

Love Always

Good Morning,

I thought I would create a background for today’s project.

I have used Heart Happiness, a new photopolymer stamp set available in the Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue from 3rd January 2018.

I have used Powder Pink ink and card stock to make the card base.

One of the larger hearts was stamped in Flirty Flamingo and die cut with coordinating framelits.

There are no sentiments in the set so I used Sunshine Sayings instead.

I opted not to add any extra elements, keeping the card very simple.

Perennial Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share this card made with the Perennial Birthday stamp set.

A Calypso Coral card base was stamped with the speckles around the edge.

A piece of Whisper White card was stamped with the smaller flower using Calypso Coral ink. These were “stamped off” once for a more faded look.

Garden Green ink was used to stamp the sentiment.

I used Stampin’ Write markers to colour the large flower stamp for a multi coloured impression. This was cut with a Layering Circle die and layered on to a Garden Green scalloped circle.

As a final touch, a small bow tied from Basic Grey Shimmer ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below. These will be available to purchase from 3rd January 2018.

The Sweetest

Good Morning!

I have something clean and simple to share with you today.

I have used the Fruit Basket stamp set and punches. This is a new bundle available in the Spring Summer catalogue from 3rd January 2018. Products may also be purchased separately.

The fruit were stamped on to a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock. All the ink colours are listed in the supply list below, however,if you are new to Stampin’, there is a collection of “ink spots” that also coordinate with the set.

The images were punched out. They will not be left with a white border like some other punches in the Stampin’ Up! range.

On a 2-1/4 inch square, I stamped the sentiment with Basic Grey ink and rounded the corners.

The fruit were adhered using mini dimensionals. This was then layered on to a 2-1/2 inch square of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

I chose to use a Powder Pink card base as I thought this complemented the fruity theme.

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

If you would like a free copy of the new catalogue please let me know.

Some Linen Thread was wrapped around and tied in to a bow, with a silver Foil Snowflake layered on top.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #007

Good Morning,

I am taking part in the Inspire.Create.Challenge today.

This week it’s a colour challenge!

You can see what the Design Team created here

This was such a festive combination so I have created a Christmas project.

The centre panel for stamping was cut to 3-1/4 inches square.

The edges of the panel were stamped using the Peace This Christmas stamp set.

Starting with Pear Pizzazz, the fir branch covered the entire edge.

Working in threes, Tranquil Tide ink was used to add the leaves and berries. This was also used to add some detail to the feast of the panel.

Pine cones were stamped in Crumb Cake ink, and the berries in Real Red.

The sentiment was added to the middle using Black Memento ink.

The panels were adhered to another Whisper White square measuring 3-1/2 inches.

For the white card, this was simply adhered with dimensionals.

The other card was made from Tranquil Tide card stock. The stamped panel was then added to some Real Red card stock measuring 3-5/8 inches square before adhering to the card base.

 

I hope you enjoyed this project. Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!

‘Tis the Season!

Good Morning!

Today, I am using the oh so popular Painted Harvest stamp set. The idea of creating a wreath is not my original idea, there are many other examples on Pinterest.

The ink colours I have used are Lemon Lime Twist and Emerald Envy. I have only used the smaller stamp from the set. The little berries were stamped in Fresh Fig ink.

The sentiment was taken from the Oh What Fun set, and stamped with Memento Black ink.

The image was cut with the Starburst punch and adhered to a 2-1/4 inch punched circle cut from Fresh Fig card stock. This was mounted on to a 2-3/4 inch square using dimensionals.

The card base was stamped with the splatter image from Touches of Texture using Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist ink.

Hi there Everyone,

Today, I am joining in with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. There are some great ideas from the design team.

This is my card.

I created a square card base by folding a 10 by 5 inch piece of card stock in half.

The black card stock panel measured 4 inches square, the corners were rounded. To this, I added some Merry Little Christmas DSP.

Real Red solid ribbon was adhered to the card base. The panel was added over the top using dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink and matted on black card. A few black rhinestones add some bling.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!

Oh Joy

Hi there,

A classic combo of black and white with a flash of silver makes today’s project.

To begin, I made Whisper White card base. To this I added a 4 inch square of Basic Black card stock, over which I adhered Merry Little Christmas DSP, 3-7/8 inch square.

The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to white card stock. The Layering Oval dies were used to cut this and a black Scalloped oval which were layered together.

A Whisper White sheer ribbon bow and a silver foil snowflake finish the card.

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