Just Add Ink #796 – Just Add Paper Piecing

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

TBH I struggled with this theme and then remembered I’d seen some people doing paper quilting on cards and thought I could give it a go. I pieced together a star shape using some DSP from Craft Consortium called ‘It’s Smome Time’. I then embossed the star and my card base with the Stampin Up Hexagons embossing folder to give it that quilt feel. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative.

I’m pretty please with how this card has turned out.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired.

AAA Cards #324 – Follow My Lead

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you! Today we’re following the lead of Helen Nile.

I was inspired by Helen’s sponged circle with her image in the centre and the sentiment along the base. I changed up the positioning of my sponged circle and had my image slightly to the side. I coloured and fussy cut one of the cats from the Cats Pajamas N7874 set and popped him on a Stampin Up Soft Sky spomged circle.

AAA Cards #323 – M is for …………

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

I chose – Masculine!

This was a very simple card to make, yet I think it’s pretty cool looking. I used a couple of my square dies, and die cut a series of whole and outlined squares from Stampin Up cardstock in Old Olive and Night of Navy. I then arranged them in a stacked diamond sort of shape and popped up the sentiment from Stampin Up ‘Not 29 Anymore’ on top and I was done.

AAA Birthday #89 – Use Patterned Paper

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you, so get inspired to use that pretty patterned paper!

I’ve been using patterned paper on my cards lately as I have traditionally been a DSP hoarder – LOL! So, don’t be like me and save it for a rainy day!

My card is a fancy fold diamond top card using DSP from Stampin Up called Beautiful Gallery, which is perfect for a masculine card.The sentiment and cardstock is also Stampin Up ‘Not 29 Anymore’ and Cloud Cover and Cooper Clay. If you’d like to make this card, check out this YouTube.

AAA Cards #322 – Back to the 70s & 80s

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

How fun is this theme? An iconic item fom the 80s was the Rubiks cube, so I thought I’d make one for my card. I cut a series of 2cm squares and layered them onto black square and popped this up on my card base. I printed my sentiment on my PC – Cube-lations = Celebrations!

Just Add Ink #793 – Just Add Colour & Inspiration

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

Poppy Parade, Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Mossy Meadow

I love this colour combo and decided it would be fabulous sponged over some collage paper I had from Tim Holtz called ‘Entomology’ which picks up on the ‘nature’ inspiration. As it’s very fine, I stuck the collage paper to some cardstock before I sponged it to give it more stability. I added some twine for interest and a sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Woot Woot’ stamp set.

AAA Cards #321 – 1 + 1 Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

I chose Animals to go with the central on the farm theme. I used a new to me matching stamp set and dies from Whimsy Stamps called ‘Cranky Pants’. I water coloured the cranky goat and then die cut him out popping him over the main die cut sentiment.
