retiring list 2018 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

A Special Note

Good Morning!

I love how this card turned out. I used a different colour combo than I would do normally. The bright blue really pops the rest of the design.

The base is made with Berry Burst card stock and layered with Tempting Turquoise and Fresh Florals DSP.

The same layers were used to make a square topper. The DSP was flipped to reveal the complimentary pattern for added interest. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Three daisies were punched from Berry Burst card stock and adhered together. This was added to the bottom right corner of the topper. Leaves punched from Wild Wasabi card were added.

S cluster of rhinestones were added to the centre of the flower.

Floral Phrases was used for the sentiment which was stamped with Tempting Turquoise ink.

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

Thanks of stopping by today and Happy Stampin’!

Inspire.Create #018

Hi there Everyone,

Today I am sharing my entry for the Inspire.Create.Challenge.

You can see what the design team have created here!

I decided to use one of the retiring stamp sets, Cool Treats and coordinating dies and mixed them with a retiring colour palette.

I started by constructing the cad base, first of all with Tempting Turquoise and adding Peekaboo Peach and Wild Wasabi. Finally, a white layer was stamped with the sprinkles image with Tempting Turquoise ink.

The central topper was made by adding a 3 inch square of Whisper White to Wild Wasabi and Peekaboo Peach layers.

The ice cream cones were cut from Crumb Cake card stock. First and second generation Sweet Sugarplum ink was used to stamp the ice cream.

These were adhered to the topper with dimensionals.

Finally, the word “sunshine” was die cut from Tempting Turquoise card stock.

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

Lovely Happy Birthday

Good Morning!

I’ve made another large card for today’s project. This one features the Whole Lot of Lovely designer series paper.

The base was made from Tangerine Tango card stock which was cut lengthways at 5-7/8 inches and then folded in half. Keep the leftover strip for later.

A 5-3/4 inch square of patterned paper was added to the front.

Two 3-3/4 inch squares of Tangerine Tango were cut to make the topper. One was covered with patterned paper.

The plain square was adhered flat to the card base with Snail adhesive. The patterned piece was added at an angle with dimensionals.

Using the strip of leftover card stock, punch out six flowers with the Pansy punch. Also cut three sets of leaves from Old Olive card stock with the Leaf Punch.

Each of the flowers were lightly spritzed with water and scrunched. Once dry, two flowers were layered together with glue dots.

The flowers and leaves were arranged in the corner. Black rhinestones were added to the centres.

I used my stamparatus to make sure the sentiment was stamped well. Using the tool allowed me to stamp twice in the same place to give a very crisp image. I cut some banner ends and adhered with Snail adhesive.

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

Hi there Everyone,

I thought I would break out the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set. This set will be carrying over in to the new annual catalogue!

If you would like a complementary catalogue then please contact me!

For today’s project, I have used Marina Mist to make the card base. Versamark ink was used to stamp along the edges.

A 3 inch strip of Whisper White card stock was stamped using the dragonfly image and Soft Sky ink. This was adhered to Soft Sky card stock before adding to the card.

A dragonfly was die cut from Soft Sky card stock, the wings were shaped before adhering to the card.

The sentiment was stamped with Marina Mist ink and adhered with dimensionals.

Ridiculously Happy

Good Morning!

I have made a larger card than usual today. Rather than cutting lengthways at 4-1/8 inches, this was cut at 5-7/8 inches and then scored at the same measurement to make a square card. I have used Tangerine Tango.

Some Tutti-Frutti designer series paper was cut to 5-3/4 inches square and adhered to the card base.

A 4 inch square of Whisper White card stock was stamp using the Lovely Friends stamp set and Tangerine Tango ink.

This was layered on to more Tangerine Tango card stock and then some Pumpkin Pie card stock. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

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

Happy For You #GDP138

Hello there,

As it is Wednesday, today I am sharing my entry for this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge.

You can see what the design team created here!

This is the card I made.

I have used a Crumb Cake card base which was stamped with coordinating ink with the Touches of Texture stamp set.

To make the topper, I cut a 2-1/2 inch strip of Lemon Lime Twist Foil Frenzy designer series paper. To this I adhered a 2 inch piece of Crumb Cake.

Some Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven ribbon was ruffled along the bottom edge. The panel was then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

A small piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock was made into a banner. The butterfly from the Butterfly Basics stamp set was stamped and fussy cut.

The sentiment is taken from the Sunshine Sayings set. This was stamped using Soft Suede ink.

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

Good Times! Just Add Ink 408

Happy Monday!

I am taking part in this week’s Just Add Ink colour challenge today.

The design team have made some fabulous samples. You can see them here.

These are the colours for the challenge. Whilst they shout out florals, I wanted to do something different.

I decided to build a background and make the sentiment the feature.

I picked out the Happy Celebrations set because I liked the idea of using triangles to make my background.

The card base is made with Wild Wasabi card stock.

Layers were cut from Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and adhered these together.

A separate Whisper White layer WS cut for stamping. The triangles were stamped with Pear Pizzazz and Powder Pink inks. I used first, second and third generation ink to get a range of shades in the same colour.

The stamped panel was adhered to the other layers. Some Powder Pink finely woven ribbon was added at the bottom. This was then secured to the card base with dimensionals.

The “celebrate” and “good times” sentiments were stamped separately with Wild Wasabi ink and trimmed to size. These were added to the card using dimensionals.

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

Sending Hugs & Kisses

Hi there Everyone,

I have made this cute card today using two of my favourite retiring colours and the Lovely Inside and Out bundle.

The card base is made with Dapper Denim card stock which I have layered with Soft Sky and White.

In a separate piece of white card stock, I stamped the sunburst sort of image using Soft Sky Dapper Denim inks. I adhered this to more Dapper Denim card stock and then to the card base with dimensionals.

I used the coordinating “hugs” die with layering circles to created the topper which was added to the card using dimensionals.

I stamped the additional parts of the sentiment with Dapper Denim ink and cut them with the Classic Label punch, (also retiring).

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies I have used are available while stocks last. The links are below.

To Think of You – Just Add Ink #406

Hi there Everybody,

I am taking part in the Just Add Ink challenge today.

This week is a sketch challenge. The design team have made some stunning samples. You can see them here!

I went all in and made six cards in different colour ways;

Marina Mist, Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Elegant Eggplant.

To make each circular topper, I stamped the sentiment and beaded circle from the Eastern Beauty stamp set. This was cut with a 2-1/4 inch punch.

Each card base was stamped with coordinating ink using the larger circle stamp from the set.

Black and White striped paper from the Tutti-Frutti DSP stack was cut in to 1-1/2 inch strips and then adhered at an angle.

The sentiment topper was added to the card base with dimensionals. A few black rhinestones finished the card.

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

Tutti Frutti Duo

Hi Everyone,

For today’s projects, I am using some of the retiring DSP and card stock.

Both feature the not so Tutti-Frutti side of these papers.

The first card is made with Sweet Sugarplum card stock layered with Island Indigo.

For the second version, I have used Island Indigo card stock, layered with Peekaboo Peach.

Both cards have greetings from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set. These were stamped with Island Indigo ink and cut using the Everyday Label punch.

Additional labels were cut from DSP and card stock. These were used as layers behind the sentiment.

Some organza ribbon was looped on to the card before adhering the topper with dimensionals. A few pearls complete the projects.

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.

Lost Without You

Hello there,

The colour inspiration for today’s card came from this bright designer series paper from the Pick a Pattern collection.

All of the supplies used today are due to retire at the end of May. You can see all the retiring products here. Don’t miss out – once they are gone, they are gone!

To make this card, I used Pink Pirouette card stock to make the base. The DSP was then added to this.

The topper was made with Pink Pirouette card stock measuring 3-1/4 inches by 5 inches.

A piece was Whisper White was cut 1/8 inch shorter and narrower. This was used to stamp on.

I have used the Blooms & Wishes stamp set. The sentiment was stamped first with black memento ink.

The flowers were added using. Flirty Flamingo, Pink Pirouette, Crushed Curry and Emerald Envy inks. First, second and third generation stamping created a softer effect using such bright and beautiful colours.

This was adhered to the Pink Pirouette card stock and then to the card with dimensionals.
