Just Add Ink #760 – Colour Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great colour theme for you – Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Gold.

I was inspired by the colours to make a Christmas project and in this instance a 3D card in the shape of a pyramid which can fold flat for posting. I used some old Stampin Up DSP called ‘Peaceful Print’ along with a gold die cut circle tree tag over the sentiment banner. The pyramid is held closed with a fancy bulb brad.

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

I went with the twist to make my sentiment the focus on my card. I stamp the large YOU from the MFT ‘All About You’ stamp set. I used my Kaleidacolor stamp pad in ‘Carabbean Sea’ to get that graded colour. I then white heat embossed the rest of the sentment on some black cardstock.

Just Add Ink #756 – Just Add a Belly Band

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

I made a card with matching envelope using some old Stampin Up DSP ‘Fresh Florals’. I stamped, coloured (Tranquil Tide, Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede) and die cut some images from the Stampin Up ‘Cake Celebrations’ stamp set for the card and belly band. The circles were cut using the Stampin Up ‘Spotlight on Nature’ dies and I added some pearls to the flower centres to finish the card off.

Just Add Ink #754 – Choose 2 – Die Cut/Flower/Ribbon

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

I chose Die Cut/Flower for my card/project. I saw a project by Brenda Quintana making a box using some dies and decided that I could replicate this but using different dies. Can I tell you I wasted about 4 sheets of cardstock trying to get it right but I finally got there!

All the items are from Stampin Up – DSP ‘Bloom Impresions’, ‘Special Moments’ and ‘Flowers of Beauty’ stamp sets and blends in Pumpkin Pie and Grapefruit Grove.

Here are my instructions. I hope you have a go and don’t waste as many piece of cardstock as I did!

AAA Birthday #74 – No Stamping

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

I love a no stamping challenge, as it makes me use items that I’ve often forgotten about. In this instance I used a new embossing folder from SSS called ‘Drifting Flowers, with some pink tinted tuille and some cut out cupcakes elements from an old DSP. The cardstock is from Stampin Up ‘Melon Mambo.’

AAA Cards #291 – Follow my Lead – Sue Symons

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

I loved everything about Sue’s card so didn’t change up much except for the sentiment and the location of the sentiment. I used an alphabet die for the main word and then a stamp from MFT ‘All About You’ for the you word. Such a classy looking card with that edge of gold embossing.
