Just Add Ink #736...A Touch of Bling!

 

Good Morning!

We have a fun new challenge over at Just Add Ink  and this week the lovely Lou has challenged us to add "Bling" to our projects...how easy is that!

I decided on "Balloons with Bling" for my project using the beautiful "Birthday Celebrations" products...in particular the "Wildflower Birthday" designer papers...they are so pretty!

The balloons are from the included 2 sheets of diecuts, so no stamping, the only stamping on this one is the sentiment using the stamps and dies.

This one is for Miss Ivy, cannot believe she's turning 12 already!

Base dsp is also from this pack, Arch diecut is from an old set I've had for ages (not sure on the brand), but l am eyeing off the NEW Arch dies from SU, as l love the stitched detail on those.

This was so quick and easy to create, a little fussy cutting on the sentiment and some Party Dots as my bling element.

Thanks for stopping by!

All supplies used are Stampin Up! unless noted (non SU Arch dies)

Just Add Ink #734...BLOG HOP!

 

Happy Friday friends and a very "Happy New Year" to you all!

Over at  Just Add Ink  we are kick starting our 2025 challenge schedule with fun full design team "Blog Hop"...and there are some gorgeous projects to inspire!

The theme for this one is "Something New" and with the arrival of a new Stampin Up! mini catalogue and Sale a bration offerings, it was hard to choose which one to use.

After some deliberation, l decided on the gorgeous and colourful "Friends of the Ocean" suite of products and l'm in love!

I've used the lovely Soft Waves 3D embossing folder to give the background panel some love and then cracked open the "Friends of the Ocean" dsp and used the coordinating dies to cut out some of the bright fun crustaceans'.
I've also used the dies with Summer Splash and Lemon Lime Twist cardstocks to diecut the reeds & corals...loving the detail on these.

Before adding the crab & lobster, l cut a piece of the pretty Gold Open Weave Trim to add in between and give it some extra detail along with some of the Sunny Days Iridescent dots to finish off.

The greeting is from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.

Evening all & a very Happy New year to you!

Welcome back to the our first Colour INKspiration challenge for 2025!  Brenton has chosen the colours and this one runs for 5wks, so loads of time to join us!

I couldnt resist cracking open some new goodies for this one, using the lovely "Happy Hibiscus" bundle...LOVE the embossing folder detail!

Cardbase is Basic Beige, Deckled Circles are Basic White & Pecan Pie. I've also used some Pecan in the diecut leaves and to colour some Basic Pearls to match.

Flowers are 1st & 2nd generation stamping in Petunia Pop, with Adhesive backed Swirl dots as centers. The birthday sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamps, in Pecan Pie.

To finish off, l've added a Linen Thread bow and some teeny leaves in Gold Glimmer, cut using the "Brand New" Heart Shaped dies available from the new Sale-a-bration offerings.
