AAA Cards #313 – Colour challenge

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

To create the plaid panel, I cut the four colours of the challenge (Timid Tiger, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Pretty in Pink) into 1/2cm strips and then die cut it with a Stampin Up plaid die. I popped up one of the birds from the Stampin Up ‘Soaring Swallows’ stamped in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

Just Add Ink #784 – Sketch

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

I love this type of sketch as the circles could be anything you want them to be! I had some previously stamped, watercoloured and cut out perfume bottles (the Ton ‘ Marvelous perfumes’) in my stash that I felt were fercvts for this sketch. I popped the up on a circle die cut them onto an embossed background panel (Stampin Up ‘Mosiac Tie’ EF) and then onto my card base.

AAA Cards #312 – Follow Jane’s Lead

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and we challenge you to follow Jane’s lead!

I love this card of Jane’s with the bold panel and simple sentiment. I used some fabris washi tape from 49 & Market ‘Alena’ and then die cut my sentiment. Super simple and I can see myself creating more in this style.

Just Add Ink #783 – Colour & Inspiration

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

These colours reminded me of Neopolitan icecream, so was going to make a card with icecream on it. But then I thought they might look fab in thin stripes on a card. So I went to my cardstock scrap stash and cut some thin strips and stuck them to a small rectangle panel. It looked a bit flat so I used my Versamark ink and my Iridescent ice embossing powder and boy did that make a difference. The only thing is it made my chocolate card stock look black! For a final touch, I wrapped it with some pink ribbon added a few gems and a sentiment from the Srtampin Up ‘Fabulous sayings’ stamp set.

TMR#209 – Vehicles or Transport

This month, I’m fortunate enought to be the Guest Designer over at The Male Room challenge as I was the winner of their Christmas Colours challenge.

For my card I used the Greatest Journey stamps, dies and coordinating DSP from Stampin Up. I like how different the card looks closed as compared to open.

If you want to replicate this card her are the instructions for you:

  • card stock (pool party) 10″ by 5 3/4″ scored at 2, 3.5, 6.5, 8
  • DSP 9 7/8″ by 5 5/8″ cut piece of the following widths in order if you have a consecutive pattern -> 1 7/8, 1 3/8, 2 7/8, 1 3/8 anf 1 7/8
  • Die cuts of the clouds (white), the bike rider and the mountain range (black)

I hope I’ve inspired you to play along this month. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you next time.

Just Add Ink #782 – Choose Two or More

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

I opted to use Sequins and Rhinestones on my card. I have a HUGE stash of both in my craft cupboard so had some fun using them on my card to make them look like champagne liquid exploding from my bottle! I drew the bottle and stamped the sentiment from the PTI ‘Uncorked’ stamp set.

AAA Cards #310 – Anything CAS Goes

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

I opted to play with the twist to add Zoo or Animals on my card. I have a super cute stamp set frtom Gerder Steiner Designs called ‘Paty Animals’ that was perfect for this challenge. I stamped the crocodile, lion and rhino, coloured them with my Stampion Blends, fussy cut them out and stacked them on my card front. I added the matching sentiment and my card was done!

Just Add Ink #781 – Just Add Wings

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

This theme allows for many interpretations from angel wings, buterfly wings, birds etc. I opted for a die cut butterfly on my card – I cut one in vellum and one in white card stock and layered them on top of each other. My background I embossed a panel using the Couture creations ‘Symbols’ folder and then on the other panel, I tore the long edge, sponged Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Specked Egg and Unchartered Marina. I stampted an unknown text stamp oer the sponging, splattered some of the Unchartered Marina ink and added some diamentes for some bling bling.
