new for 2018 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Adventure

Hello Everyone,

Isn’t this a fun stamp set! This cute little house can be whatever colour you like, up in the tree or down on the ground.

My little cabin is hidden away in the woods!

The images have been stamped on to a 2-1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock.

The house was stamped with Miky Slate, Calypso Coral and Pool Party inks.

Additional tree canopies were stamped and cut out separately to add extra dimension.

The sentiment was added with Smoky Slate ink. The corners of the panel were rounded with the Detailed Trio punch.

A strip of Pool Party DSP was adhered to the left hand side of a Smoky Slate card base. The stamped panel was then positioned over the top using dimensionals.

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

Special Day

Good Morning!

Today I am trying out a new colour combination; Merry Merlot, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.

have used the Stitched All Around bundle.

First of all, the card base was stamped with stitching image. The hinge step technique of the Stamparatus allowed for perfect placement.

The sentiment was stamped with Merry Merlot ink, die cut and adhered to the card.

The circle and heart elements were cut from Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo card stock respectively.

Some yellow artisan pearls were added to pull the colours together on the card.

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

The Good Things #GDP143

Hi Everyone,

The Global Design Team have given lots of scope with this week’s challenge!

So in honour of the endless inspiration that the new Stampin’ Up! annual catalogue brings, crafters have been encouraged to love it, live it and share it!

My share is this card using All The Good Things. The lovely fishes reminded me of the pond we had when I was growing up. I also really love using texture stamps so I also included Artisan Textures.

I stamped the fishes first on to a Whisper White card layer. Rather than using a single colour, I combined Mango Melody and Poppy Parade. The ink was applied with sponge daubers.

I picked out a sentiment and stamped this with Early Espresso ink.

Once this was in place, I decided to cut down the panel. I did not measure this, but instead lined up the edge of the image with the edge of the blade guide on my trimmer. This was then added to Pool Party card stock to give a 1/8 inch border.

On a Whisper White card base, I used Pool Party and Coastal Cabana ink to add the “watery” texture.

The fishes panel was then added with dimensionals. To add just a bit of being, three Petal Pink adhesive sequins.

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

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Amazing Bokeh

Good Morning Everyone,

Sometimes I have absolutely no idea what I am going to make…. This project was one of those, but I am really pleased with the result.

This stamp set immediately caught my eye in the new annual catalogue so I started with the stamp. After trying a few ink colours, I tried heat embossing the image.

I then decided to use the emboss resist technique to bring out the detail. The colours I picked out were Balmy Blue, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam. The ink was applied with sponge daubers.

For added interest, I lightly spritzed the card with water, dabbed off the excess and dried with a heat tool.

The panel was adhered to some Basic Gray card stock and then added to a Soft Sea Foam card base.

Rather than stamping a sentiment, I used the Celebrate You thinlits. These were cut from Basic Black and Basic Gray card stock. For some dimension, “you” was cut three times and glued together.

Finally, some pearl white adhesive sequins were added to the card.

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

Inspire.Create #020

Good Morning!

The Inspire.Create design team have created some wonderful projects with this card sketch challenge. You can see them all here!

I used the sketch to help with the design of this year’s Father’s Day card.

I chose Blueberry Bushel as the main colour for the design.

I cut and scored a card base in the usual way and then used the Maps Dynamic Textures embossing folder to emboss the front.

A 2 inch strip of Blueberry Bushel DSP was adhered to a 2-1/2 inch piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Night of Navy Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

I used the Another Wonderful Year stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the sentiment on to a 1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock.

Dimensional adhesive was used to secure the sentiment to the card.

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

Make Me Proud

Hello Everyone,

My absolute favourite colour from the new release has got to be Blackberry Bliss – just love it!

So today’s project is made entirely in this colour – well except the Whisper White to stamp on.

I randomly stamped the leaves using first, second and third generation ink.

Some Nature’s Twine was wrapped around this panel which was then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped and trimmed down to size. The corners were rounded with the Detailed Trio punch.

A tree from the Rooted in Nature stamp set was die cut and added to the card.

To finish the card, I added some faceted dots.

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

Friend #FMS341

Friday is Freshly Made Sketch day!

This week Narelle has provided this circle inspired sketch. The design team have created some fabulous samples. You can see them all here!

Today I am using the Botanical Bliss stamp set.

The card base is made with Highland Heather card stock which was stamped with the geometric shape in the set using matching ink.

This sentiment strip a cross the centre was first stamped with the leaves using Soft Sea Foam ink. Blackberry Bliss ink was then used for the sentiment itself. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The florals were also stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. A blender pen was used to pull ink from the outline in the centre and leaves. Wink of Stella clear glitter added some sparkle. These were mounted on to a 1-3/8 scalloped circle with a dimensional.

Soft Sea Foam card stock was punched with the Leaf punch and added to each circle.

A few Soft Sea Foam sequins finished the card.

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

Sending Well Wishes

Good Morning,

I couldn’t wait to get this stamp set!

This card I have kept really simple, but have other ideas on how to use this set in the future.

I chose to use the single dandelion as the feature image. This was stamped using Gray Granite ink and trimmed to fit the standard card base. This could have been kept larger for a landscape oriented card.

To keep with the soft look, I decided to use Petal Pink card stock as the base. I used the coordinating ink to add the dandelion seeds for a tone on tone look.

The stamped panel was matted on to Blackberry Bliss card stock and adhered to the card base.

To add some interest, the sentiment was stamped on to a 2 inch circle of white card stock and adhered with dimensionals.

New Catalogue Blog Hop

Hi there Everyone,

Welcome to this special team blog hop celebrating the release of the new annual catalogue from Stampin’ Up! Click the blue button at the end if this post to see all the other creations!

My project features the Abstract Impressions stamp set and die bundle – so beautiful!

And this is what I have made, also using brand new colours too!

The card base is made with Granny Apple Green card stock. This was embossed with the large floral die – yes embossed! Stampin’ Up! now have embossing mats for the Big Shot – the possibilities are endless.

A piece of Whisper White card stock was used to stamp the florals. Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce make a great combination for the foliage. The wonderful new purple inks were used for the flowers themselves. The panel was added to some Gorgeous Grape card stock and then to the card base.

For some contrast I decided to use Mango Melody for the sentiment. This was die cut with a layering square framelit. This was adhered to a square of Gorgeous Grape card stock. I added this to the card with dimensionals.

Bloom with Happiness #FMS340

Hi All,

The Freshly Made Sketches team have provided some lovely inspiration for this card sketch. You can see them all here!

I have used the Varied Vases bundle to make my card today.

A 2-1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock was stamped using Gray Granite ink and the flower image.

Balmy Blue ink was used to fill in the flower heads and add the sentiment.

The vases were punched from white card stock and adhered over the stems.

The panel was added to a 2-3/4 inch strip of Balmy Blue card stock and then on to a Gray Granite card base.

Finally, some Wink of Stella clear glitter was added to the flowers.

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

Artisan Congrats

Good Morning!

Loving the colour combination on this card today. They are all part of the Neutrals colour family! Following the “Colour Revamp” Mossy Meadow has returned, Night of Navy has moved from the Regal colour family and there is the fabulous new Merry Merlot and Gray Granite!

I have used the Artisan Textures stamp set, (love this set) and combined it with the Lined Alphabet set to create my own bold sentiment.

The letters were stamp first with clear Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear powder.

Each of the inks were used to stamp over the top of the embossed letters, then the excess gently wiped away. This added to the grungy effect.

Gray Granite was used to add some extra texture. The panel was trimmed down and mounted on to black card stock.

Some Linen Thread was wrapped around the bottom of the panel before adhering to the card base.

The additional portion of the sentiment was taken from the Itty Bitty Greetings set. This was also stamped in clear Versamark ink on to black card. This was heat embossed with white powder. This was added to the card using dimensionals.

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

Big Time

Good Morning Everybody,

I fancied doing some colouring so I pulled out this Animal Outing stamp set.

As I was using Stampin’ Blends to colour, I stamped the images with Memento ink on to a 3-1/2 square of Whisper White card stock.

The rhino was coloured with Smoky Slate and Ivory;

The frog is Rich Razzleberry;

The bird is Pool Party and Bermuda Bay;

Old Olive and Bronze were used for the branch.

The card base was made from Call Me Clover card stock which was cut to 8 by 4 inches, scored at 4 inches.

A 2 inch strip of In Colour DSP was added to the right hand side of the card, then embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textures embossing folder.

Layering Squares framelits were used to make a small frame of card stock which was adhered at an angle with mini dimensionals. Some Wink of Stella glitter pen added some sparkle.

The stamped panel adhered over the top of this.

The cute sentiment was stamped with Call Me Clover ink and cut with a 1-1/4 inch circle punch. This was added to a 1-3/8 scallop circle cut from the same DSP.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below. Click the picture to be directed to the online store.

Textures of the Sea #FMS339

Hello Everyone,

This week’s sketch challenge has been set by Jen Brum.

The design team have made some great projects as inspiration; you can see them all on the Freshly Made Sketches blog, here!

This is my entry for the challenge;

I really wanted to use Sea of Textures on this card. I thought the shape could be a coral reef on the sea bed.

I picked out some paper from the coordinating designer series paper collection. The paper was cut diagonally, one piece was flipped over to create the “V” shape.

Before adhering to the card, I stamped the tall sea weed across the background with Tranquil Tide ink.

The papers were added to the card, leaving space for other pieces to be positioned behind them.

Other seaweed and coral elements were die cut from Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig. These were tucked in place.

Finally, the octopus was stamped with Night of Navy ink, die cut and adhered with dimensionals.

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

Getting There

Hello Everyone,

The project for today uses the new Lilypad Lake bundle.

I like to use the “small stamps” to make cards as they can get overlooked.

This card features the little sail boats, I thought the sentiment was just right.

I have used Whisper White card stock to stamp on measuring 3-3/4 by 5-1/4 inches.

A combination of Coastal Cabana and Balmy Blue ink was used to stamp the water. First, second and third generation stamping added depth and texture.

The sentiment was stamped so the first half lay on the horizon, with the second part off set to the right.

The boats were stamped with Poppy Parade and Gorgeous Grape inks. A blender pen was used to move the ink slightly to add a hint of colour to the sails.

These were die cut and adhered to the card, using a combination of snail and dimensionals.

The panel was added to Tranquil Tide card stock and then on to a Very Vanilla card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below. They will be available to purchase from 1st June.

If you don’t have a copy of the new catalogue, please contact me and I will send one out to you free of charge!

Thinking of You #GDP140

Good Morning Everyone!

This week the Global Design Project team are casing this wonderful card from Brian King.

You can see all their cards here!

This is my interpretation using the new Rooted in Nature bundle.

A piece of Whisper White card stock was cut to 3 by 4-3/4 inches.

The bottom portion was stamped with leaves using second generation Soft Sea Foam and Mint Macaron inks.

The sentiment was added over top with black ink.

The Rooted in Nature dies include some elements that will emboss rather the cut. The coordinating stamped leaves were embossed with the Big Shot.

The panel was adhered to some Soft Suede card stock. This was then added to a Tranquil Tide card base using dimensionals.

The beautiful tree as stamped twice with Blackberry Bliss ink and die cut. The lighter image was adhered flat, the other was raised using mini dimensionals.

As a final touch, some Grapefruit Grove twine was added to the tree trunk.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below, and available from 1st June.

I started by stamping the shelves in Sahara Sand ink.

As I was using the punch to add the vases, I added the flower outlines with Memento ink. The corresponding blooms were added using the beautiful Mango Melody and Petal Pink inks.

The vases were stamped with Balmy Blue and Highland Heather inks and cut with coordinating punch. These were added to the card with dimensionals.

The little sentiment was add with black ink and the panel added to some Wild Wasabi card before adhered to a white card base.

This is such a lovely set, I am sure I will be doing a lot more with this!

Have you got your copy of the new catalogue? Drop me a message and I will send one out to you, FREE of charge!

Have noticed the brand new ink pad design and colours??

The launch of this year’s catalogue also brings a colour revamp!

There are also some return favourites too. The new colour families will look this this!

As always products used in the projects are listed below, or will be available in the online store from 1st June.

Hello – Just Add Ink #410

Good Morning!

The challenge this week is to use this colourful image as inspiration for a project.

You can see what the design team have made by clicking here!

For me, it was the colours that stood out, along with the bunting and the word ‘hello’.

And this is what I came up with.

The deep green of the wall in the image was mirrored by the Tranquil Tide card base. Clear Versamark ink was used to stamp bunting from the new Pick a Pennant stamp set across the background.

I picked out Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove and the brand new Petal Pink inks to stamp more bunting across a piece of white card stock. This was layered onto Berry Burst and Tempting Turquoise card stock.

I used the Lined Alphabet stamp set to create the word ‘hello’. This was stamped in Versamark ink and then heat embossed with gold powder. The letters were coloured with Bermuda Bay watercolour pencil.

To finish the card, I took the idea of the spots in the background, and added Tranquil Tide pearls from the set of Artisan Pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this project. Some of the supplies used are listed below and are available from 1st June.

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stampin’!

Thank you for Sharing

Hi Everyone,

I think I might be in love with the Share What You Love bundle.

For today’s project, I have used the Pearlized Designer Series paper as the background.

I have stamped the sentiment from the Love What You Do stamp set on to some Whisper White card stock in Old Olive ink.

Some third generation Rich Razzleberry ink was used to add the tiny flowers. The card stock was cut down using the Pretty Label punch.

The same punch was used to cut some Crumb Cake card stock. The sentiment was adhered to this.

A Pearlised Doily was adhered to the card base with dimensionals, and some Velvet ribbon was looped over the top.

The sentiment piece was then added over the top. A fee Artisan Pearls finished the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The items used will be listed below. Products are currently only available to purchase as part of the Early Release bundles. Just click on the images at the bottom of the post to see what is included.

I have made a layered card today.

The lovely new In Colour, Grapefruit Grove, was used to stamp images from the Love What You Do stamp set and then cut down using my trimmer.

Two pieces on Designer Series Paper were cut to 3-1/4 by 4 inches. You can use whichever designs you like – they all go together beautifully!

The first piece was adhered flat to the card.

For the second piece, I added some of the Rich Razzleberry Velvet ribbon for extra colour and texture. This was then adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The stamped topper was then added on top, with a trio of Artisan Pearls – perfectly coordinated with the suite.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The specific items used to make this card are listed below, but are currently only available in the bundles.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin’!
