Hello there, it’s time for the first Fusion Challenge for 2022 and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I fused both the sketch and the image for my card. I love those gold sparkly lights in the photo and new the Ton ‘Pyrotechnics’ stamp would be perfect gold embossed. I used a die cut word for my sentiment and layered the black card on some Stampin Up glittery paper.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with both!

Hello there, it’s time for our first Watercooler Wednesday Challenge for 2022 and I’m our host with a feminine challenge this fortnight!

My card today is using a brand new stamp from Stampin Up called ‘Mischievous Mice’ that you can get in the new Jan-June 2022 catalogue. I coloured her with my Stampin Blends then fussy cut her out and popped her ontop of some die cut clouds. The sentiment is from a new stamp set ‘Special Moments’ that you can get during Stampin Up’s Sale-a-bration from 4th Jan to 28th Feb if you spend more than $90 AUD.

It’s a New Years Day crafting following along with a New Years Eve Craft Roulette with Mary Gunn Funn and Bitty Penny.

I’m inside trying to keep cool on this 39 degree New Years Day and managed to catch Mary and Bitty live.

My card came together super fast. I used a Kaleidacolor ink pad ‘Blue Breeze’ to create my ink smooshed blue/p[urple background which I mounted on some silver cardstock. I then stamped the supercute mounse from Stampin Up ‘Mischievous Mice’ and had him writing the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp ‘Birthday Bits’. I coloured the mouse with SU Crumb Cake. I then scored some lines and stuck down a potion of the card edge to form the book binding look and I was done!

Well thanks for looking and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and Marsha is our host with a special 3 week challenge to finish up the year!

I decided to make a 3D project – a 2022 calendar that can sit nicely on a desk. I stamped the panels using the Stampin Up ‘Hand-Penned Petals’ stamp set.

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you for our last challenge of the year!

This challenge theme came at the perfect time as I needed to make a number of holders for gift cards I’d bought for various nieces and nephews.

Last year I’d bought the cutest little tins from Stampin Up but had done nothing with them, so decided to decorate them and then use them to hold a concertina style card which I attached the gift cards to.

So what do you think? Cute huh?

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at Just Add Ink have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post.

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and Heidi is our host with an all about occasions challenge this fortnight!

I’m in desperate need of Christmas cards so chose that as my occasion for this challenge. I played with some Stampin Up DSP ‘Expressions of Ink’ and 2 trees from the ‘Whimsical Trees’ die set. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative. My suite of cards was inspired by Su Mohr.

I ended up making a set of 8 cards, so here are the other 7!
