Inspire.Create #047

Hello Everyone,

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 sketch challenge.

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

And this is my card…

The sketch reminded me of the sun so I cut a circle from some scrap paper and used it as a stencil.

I added Daffodil Delight ink first, working from the edge of the stencil to the centre. I then moved to Pumpkin Pie and then a touch of Poppy Parade around the edges.

To continue the tropical sunset feel, I chose to add the palm trees from the Friend Like You stamp set using Memento Ink. The sentiment in the set fitted in nicely too.

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’!

Hello Everyone,

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!

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.

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.

Hello Everyone,

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 theme challenge.

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

I have used the emboss resist technique for my project;

I picked out the Stargazing stamp set…. I thought the stars would be perfect for this technique.

First, I applied Balmy Blue ink to some white card stock where the sentiment would be. I then used versamark ink to stamp the images. These were embossed with clear powder.

I then added Pacific Point and Night of Navy ink over the top. A damp cloth rubbed away the excess ink.

The panel was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle and layered on to Whisper White card stock.

A Night of Navy card base was embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder before adding the topper with dimensionals.

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

A frame was created using Petal Pink card stock which was interlocked with a white Stitched Square.

Flowers and leaves were stamped and cut with the coordinating punches.

The sentiment was stamped with Old Olive ink. This fitted perfectly inside the Darling Label punch.

Hello Everyone,

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.

I have used the Abstract Impressions bundle to create my project.

I began by Die Cutting the butterfly and sponged over this with Poppy Parade and Pumpkin Pie ink.

While this dried, I stamped some grass on a Whisper White card panel with Granny Apple Green ink. This was layered on to some Poppy Parade card stock and adhered to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink and trimmed to size. After layering with Poppy Parade card stock, this was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The butterfly was shaped and adhered to the card. I used Pumpkin Pie Stampin Blends to colour some rhinestones to complete the card.

I had a couple of attempts to get to a design I was happy with.

Hello Everyone,

The Inspire.Create team have set a brand new colour challenge.

The inspiration has come directly from the Happiness Blooms suite of products from Stampin’ Up!

See what the design team have created with this palette here

I opted to let the experts do the hard work combining the colours. I picked out this pattern from the Designer Series Paper pack.

I wanted to add a sentiment to suit the bright colours. I chose this from the Friendly Expressions stamp set. I changed the layout by inking parts of the stamp separately.

I then used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut the sentiment and a small strip of Night of Navy card stock.

Finally, I added some extra embellishments by punching some Bitty Blooms from Calypso Coral card stock. A Pineapple Punch enamel dot was added to the centres.

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

The word “holidays” was die cut from glimmer paper… I forgot to add sticky sheet to mine, so used Multipurpose glue to add this to the card.

Hello Everyone,

There’s a new Inspire.Create challenge going on right now…. Look at these colours!

As always the design team have pulled out all the stops with their samples. You can see them here.

For my design, I wanted to use a stamp set with lots of complementary elements. I ended up choosing Swirly Bird.

The card itself was really easy to put together. First, I decided which stamps I would pair with each colour, (except Lovely Lipstick). I then built up the design, keeping in mind the “rule of threes”.

The corners were punched with the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered to a Lovely Lipstick card base.

I also used Lovely Lipstick card stock to die cut the word ‘love’ which I adhered to a Vellum circle.

The additional sentiments were stamped on to strips of white card stock. These were also added to the Vellum, this time with dimensionals.

The vellum was then adhered to the card with dimensionals, hiding them behind the other elements.

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

So the theme challenge is……

You can see what the design team have made here! Why don’t you join in too?

I have created a bright congratulations card featuring Petal Palette and the Buffalo Check background.

The check was stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink and cut down to size… (I didn’t measure it). I also cut a piece of white card stock and stamped the leaves. This was added to a Lovely Lipstick card base.

The flowers were watercoloured with Lemon Lime Twist and Lovely Lipstick inks before Die Cutting. These were adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment was tucked in to the flowers also using dimensional adhesive.

A few artisan pearls completed the card.

Inspire.Create. #025 Guest Designer

Hello Everybody,

Today is a very special day for me… Today I have the enormous pleasure to be a guest designer for this Inspire.Create.Challenge.

This week is a colour challenge, and wouldn’t you know they are three of my favourites!

So this what I have designed.

I have kept the card simple to allow the beautiful colours to shine through.

I used the Chase Your Dreams Framelits to cut five feathers from Whisper White card stock. The word “dream” was cut three times.

The inks were applied to the die cuts using a sponge dauber.

The die cut words were stacked and adhered to the card with Multipurpose glue.

Mini dimensionals were used to adhere the feathers to the card.

A touch of Wink of Stella was added over the top of the die cuts for a little extra sparkle.

I hope have enjoyed this project as much as I did making it!

The supplies used to make this card are listed below.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog post today, please call back again soon.

Happy Stampin’!
