Just Add Ink #791...Christmas in July!

 

HO-Ho-Ho, Happy Friday all!

Our Just Add Ink challenge this week is from Kim and her theme was "Christmas in July".

This one was definitely a challenge, as don't have a lot of current Stampin Up! Christmas product being mid year. But l do have a lot of retired stuff...So that's were l looked.

The cardbase is Cherry Cobbler, with a panel of the "Season of Elegance" dsp (retired or almost so) I love the gold foil on this paper.

I wanted to keep it simple with this dsp and a single flower appealed, so l have used 2 of the flower diecuts and the leaves from the Heirloom Boutique dies, shaded with Real Red & Old Olive inks and blender brushes and added a gold foil center to tie in with the gold on the paper. Sentiment is from a retired Christmas set embossed in Gold E/P on Cherry cobbler.

It was super quick to make and l have to say l think it looks pretty decent!

Just Add Ink #790...Stencils & Dies!

 

Happy Friday all!

Over at Just Add Ink we have a Dies & Stencils challenge this week. 

I don't actually have a lot of current stencils/masks, so decided to create my own using one of the Arched Wishes dies and some copy paper...could not for the life of me find my masking paper...No doubt it will show up now l don't need it!

Cardbase is Cloud Cover as is the inked arch, applied with a blending brush. Flowers are my Die element using the Velvet Meadow designer series paper and the Flowering Meadow dies.

Foliage is Peaceful Pines cardstock and Gems are from the Moody Palette glossy dots, not 100% on their colours, but they worked.

Sentiment is also from the Flowering Meadow stamps and a little double Gold thread bow to finish!

Lots of lovely design team projects, so don't forget to click the link for a peek at those.

Just Add Ink #789...Sketch!

 

It's Friday and that means a new Just Add Ink challenge is happening. For this one Tristan has given us a fun sketch to create with.

I've gone very simple, letting the panel from the Lovely Blossoms dsp do the work, with a simple Thanks greeting from the Flowering Meadow stamp set. Popped up on 2 diecuts from the Words of Beauty dies in Night of Navy & Basic White and finished off with a gold thread bow and some Dewdrops Embellishments.

It was quick and fun to create and used a little of my ever expanding dsp stash.

It's Colour INKspiration challenge time and for this one Monica has provided a very cool almost retro colour palette for us to create with.

I really wanted to have another play with the fab & fun Balloon Festoon bundle on a clean card for a teen girl.

I have diecut a balloon in each of the colours and shaded in the coordinating inks, strings are gold foil and l have also added some of the Loose Gold Sequins for extra bling.

It still wasn't doing it for me, so l added some of the sweet little florals from the Boutique Blossoms bundle with basic pearl centers...Love, Love, Love these colours together and although very clean & simple, l'm pretty happy with the end result...Hope she likes it!

I have to say, the new white gel pens are the bomb!

Happy chilly Friday friends!

Over at Just Add Ink we have a fun Colour & Inspiration challenge...we can use the colours or the inspiration or a combination of both.

I decided to go with the the colours, using Stampin Ups! Basic Black-Basic Grey-Smoky Slate & Hydrangea Hue.

Designer paper is from the 26/28 In Colour Painted Patterns pack. Stamps and diecuts are a combination of Capturing Smiles & Balloon Festoon bundles.

Other supplies are Vellum for the film, blk & white twisted bakers twine (retired) and my absolute NEW fave toy, the white Gel Pens...They are amazing, so thick and roll beautifully, much better than my old ones.

Happy Wednesday friends!

Over at Colour INKspiration challenges this week Leonie has given us these pretty colours to create with and l love that there are 3 of the New 26/28 In colours to play with.

I decided to go bold with this weeks project and used another new fave the Heirloom Boutique dies. I do love a good size floral to play with.

Cardbase and panel are Misty Moonlight cardstock, to add depth to the panel l have used a blending brush and Misty Moonlight inkpad and watered down ink to add speckles.

Blooms are two of each size, diecut in Bubble Bath & Hydrangea Hue, with ink blending added and a gold foil center. Leaves are Peaceful Pine, blended with the inkpad and blending brush.

The small birthday sentiment is a partial stamp from the Words of Beauty set and the Wishes is from the Words of Wishes dies in Vellum & Gold foil.

To add a little more sparkle I've added some Loose Gold sequins and a tiny 26/28 In Colour butterfly in Peaceful Pine to finish off.

Just Add Ink #787...Choose Two or More!

 

It's Just Add Ink challenge time and for this one Tristan has asked us to choose two or more of the above options to add to our projects!

Not having a lot of animal choices, l have gone with the cute Notes of Spring stamp set so that covered the animals, l have also used the Perennial Lavender dsp as my second choice and to finish off l have added a Linen Thread bow as my third.

It's simple and sweet and also uses the Arched Wishes dies in Lost Lagoon & Basic White and some of the new 26/28 In Colour Butterflies.

I went with a generic greeting from the Delicate Framing stamp set, as l decided it needed a big bold sentiment.

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

Hey friends!

It's time to share the new Colour INKspiration challenge and this one is all about showcasing the gorgeous new 26/28 In Colours from Stampin Up! Love, love, love these colours and look forward to playing with them some more.

So for my project, I chose to create a large Scalloped cardbase using the new largest  Scalloped Bloom die and a top layer in the ever so pretty Barely Blush cardstock, embossed with the Perfectly Plaid embossing folder.

Florals are from the Artisan Sketched Garden dsp and coloured with stampin Blends in Barely Blush-Golden Glow-Peaceful Pine and fussy cut. 

Extra foliage in Peaceful Pine is an oldie,using the bird builder punch.

Sentiment panel is also from the Scalloped Bloom dies and the sentiment is from another new set the Flowering Meadow.

Some sweet 26/28 In Colour Butterflies in Hydrangea Hue and a linen thread bow to finish.
