So this is Christmas....Not really, but not long to go. But it is the last challenge for the year over at Colour INKspiration challenges and this one is from Bernie. It runs for 5 weeks, so plenty of time to join in and share your projects post festive season.

I felt like making something big bold and beautiful with these colours and the Thankful Garden bundle was perfect!

I love that it includes stamps-Dies-Masks, makes creating super quick and stress free, perfect this time of year.

The sentiment is from the Charming Day stamps, on a basic white & gold foil Stitched So Sweetly diecuts(retired), l've added some (retired) enamel dots to balance it out.

Just Add Ink #775...Celebration!

 

It's Just Add Ink time and this week Lou has challenged us to add a "Celebration" to our projects...Simple and fun!

I needed to make a milestone birthday card for a friend and to be honest, l totally forgot l hadn't created anything for this challenge yet...So it was quick and simple, using the large flower from the Layers of Beauty bundle, that l had already partially coloured for a previous project.

I used Pink Pirouette(retired)-Old Olive-Mossy Meadow for the colours and added a Gold Glimmer diecut from the also retired Celebrate You dies.

The base is embossed with the Plaid embossing folder and to finish off, a little Linen Thread bow.

Lots of great Celebration projects from the team, so click the link if you haven't already stopped by the JAI challenge blog.

This challenge is a little different from our norm, but so much fun being able to choose our feature colour from current or retired Stampin Up! colours.

I couldn't resist my all time fave pink for this one, being "Pink Pirouette" it's just so pretty, soft & clean.

I've teamed it with Basic White-Basic Black-Crumbcake from our allowed extra challenge colours.

I've used the lovely Layers of Beauty bundle-Arched Wishes Dies-Elements of Text and a greeting from the very cute Gnomes for Summer stamps (retired). To finish off l have added a Linen Thread bow and some teeny Basic Pearls.

I just love this colour combination, it's always been a fave and even though the stamped leaves are Crumbcake, l think they work really well.

Just Add Ink #774...Stencils & Dies!

 

We have another fun "NEW" concept challenge happening over at Just Add Ink this week, it's all about Dies & Stencils! You can use either of those or a combination of both and combine them with absolutely any product you like!

I decided on the pretty Thankful Garden bundle, as it has Dies-Stamps & stencils! It makes creating so quick and easy.

On this one l have featured the Lovely Garden DSP, as l'm back on my use my dsp phase! This print is very pretty and inspired the stamped/stencil focal image.

To colour the flowers l have used Crushed Curry & Garden Green in various strengths with blender brushes.

I then diecut some extra foliage in Garden Green & Gold Glimmer and popped them all up on a Spotlight on Nature diecut and chose the same one in the small size for the sentiment.

Don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog to see all of the fab projects from the team.

Just Add Ink #773...Sketch!

 

Happy Friday friends!

It's time for another Just Add Ink challenge and this one is from Tristan. She has given us a lovely sketch to create with and the possibilities were endless!

I decided to cut into some more of my Painted Pears dsp. I have used it as the base panel and also fussy cut some of the little blossoms.

The card base is Secret Sea, sentiment panels are diecut from the Traditional Labels dies in Darling Duckling & Petal Pink. Stamped in Secret Sea.

Foliage is diecut using the Painterly Pears dies in Old Olive and Pecan Pie. To finish off l've added a couple of Basic Pearls & a Gold Twine Bow.

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out using this combination of papers and colours.

Lots of fab projects from the design team, so don't forget to stop by the blog for a peek at those if you haven't already.

Just Add Ink #772...Colour & Inspiration!

 

 Use the Inspiration the Colours or a combination of both! Min of 3 colours required.

It is Just Add Ink challenge time and for this one Kerry has given us a fun Halloween/colour combination.

This is another of our "NEW" look challenges, we now combine both the colour (min of 3 req)and some inspiration...this means we could use one or the other or a combination of both...Entirely up to you!

I'm not usually a Halloween creator, but l decided to have fun with this one and create a candy type box using the Arched Wishes dies (second largest) and as l don't have any current Halloween sets, l dug out a couple of oldies for this one!

Wicked cool & Festive Phrases, both well retired stamp sets, but two l kept for just incase!

The colours l chose from Stampin Up! are Gorgeous Grape-Peach Pie & Pumpkin Pie both applied to the Arch using blending brushes.

I also added a fastener bow using some (Retired) Misty Moonlight ribbon & some Secret Sea Charming Faceted dots...So l have used a combination of 4 of the 5 colours.

Box details:

A strip of basic white cardstock 2-1/2" x 9-1/2"

Scored @ 3" & 6-1/2" rotate & score on both 9-1/2" sides @ 1/4"

I used some Tombo to attach to the Arches.

Over at Colour INKspiration challenge,  Alisa has provided a super cute colour combo for creating our projects for this one!

I decided to have a little fun with this one and pulled out my Punch board and a piece of 12" x 12" Very vanilla cardstock to create a giftbox size XL on the board.

I've been wanting to make a honeycomb bauble for ages, so thought this would make a fun decor element on the box.

To create the half size, l diecut 6 of each colour using Pool Party & Real Red and the Bauble blooms die.

Belly band is Coastal Cabana, bow is some (Retired) Organza ribbon, with Gold Twine and some Open Weave Gold detail...A couple of Basic pearls to finish off!

It was fun to creat something other than a card and l think its a cute way to decorate a simple box for gifting.
