Welcome back to the Just Add Ink challenges for a new year and "Happy 2017" to you all!
To start the challenge year we always begin with a themed blog hop consisting of the whole Just Add Ink design team. This one is all about "POP-UPS & INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS"....Lots of fun and heaps of options from super simple to the very involved!
The DT have created some awesome projects to share and inspire, so don't forget to follow the hop and check them all out!
For both of my projects l've used the new "Balloon Adventures & Balloon Pop-Up thinlits bundle". I have created two very different cards, the first includes the pop-up element more as intended, the second uses the same element as shaker card.
It makes creating fun and interesting cards so, so simple...my kind of crafting really!
Thanks for stopping by!
All supplies used are Stampin Up unless noted!

Beautiful Nikki. I love how you've used this die - I think it's the colours!!! Kelly x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Nikki. I love the fun colours and the great, big, sentiment, on the first one ... and am glad I didn't go with my intended kraft, gold and black colour scheme!! Your second card is fabulous. Very classy.
ReplyDeleteThey are both awesome Nikki! Love the layering of images on the front of your first card and then the colourful surprise once its open. And what a great masculine card the second one is - so bold and feels much more chunky in the kraft/black combo. xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the different looks from the die, Nikki. I especially love the subdued glamour of the second card.
ReplyDeleteHugs, D
Two gorgeous cards, Nikki! You've got me with the Kraft and Black one!!! So gorgeous and so glamerous! ALl the elements in a card that I love!! Rochelle xo
ReplyDeleteFun cards Nikki, I like both the inside and outsides. Wonderful fonts. Chantell x x
ReplyDeleteWow great birthday surprise inside. Love the gold bling too.
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous Nikki!! I love your mix of colours and layers in the first one and the sophisticated look and textures with your second is perfection too. xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you made two completely different cards using the same stamps - your first is colourful and fun, and the second is a fabulous masculine version (that I may have to CASE) - love the dramatic bold colour combo. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous bunch of cards! I agree about the colours - they work so well with the designs.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on these two cards Nikki. Love the shaker one simply because you've incorporated lots of glamour and glimmer, but love the first one for its pop of colour in the sentiment and dots.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Love the two different ways you used the bundle.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous, Nikki! The first is so bright and cheerful and the shaker card is so elegant and striking.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Love the stylishly elegant shaker card.
