Just Add Ink #227.......Chipboard!

'

Happy Friday to you! It's time for this weeks fun Just Add Ink challenge and this one is all about "CHIPBOARD"   Chantell thought it would be fun to add some dimension to our projects.

I decided to combine this weeks challenge with a very special friends birthday and added multiple layers of chipboard to a yummy Blackberry Bliss Sweetheart punch.

Not easy to see, but amongst the twine is some Gold filigree thread (another dance costume leftover)...:0) and l think I've got a new fave embossing folder too!

I really love the fine detail in the "Tiny Triangles Folder" and find myself reaching for it often, the pattern is so versatile and I'm sure it will be a frequent show on my projects..:0)

Just a little bit of co-ordinated packaging...:0)

Don't forget to pop by and check out the design teams lovely projects.

Block / Stair Step Cards Pt 2.....

OK, so this is the second one, made using this tutorial from Deb Valder, check out her blog while you're there, she has some fabulous projects.

Here is the direct link to Debs video, it's so easy to follow and so generous of her to share, so please give her credit if you do decide to have a go.

Now, l don't "YET"..:0) own the "Something for Baby" Bundle, so l made do with what l had to create something kinda similar.

I went with a Kraft base, to give the look of wooden blocks and used So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding & Soft Sky.

As l mentioned in my previous post, this one is slightly bigger as you can see in the pic above. The one on the left is created with 4 1/8" x 11 5/8"" cardstock (half A4) (Measurements in previous post) 

I used Debs measurements of 4 1/2" x 12" for the one on the right and you will need to make an envelope to fit that one, as it doesn't fit in our standard Aussie envelopes.

They are just a little fun and different whichever size you make....

Block / Stair Step Card...Pt1

Afternoon blog friends, today l have a card that's a little different to share. It was inspired by the ever so talented Deb Valder.
I've made 2 of these, the second I'll be sharing in a another post very shortly. Along with a link to Deb's fab video, where she gives you the measurements she used.

I decided to alter the measurements to suit our (AU) cardstock, this allows you to get 2 cards from one piece of A4, but is slightly smaller overall, but not much really once it is put together. 

It will also fit into our standard envelopes when pushed flat, which you can see in the last pic.

If you scroll to the bottom of this post l have provided the measurements l used to create this one....

These are just the measurements for A4 cardstock, you will need to click on the link provided in the following post and watch Deb's video for instructions on how she made it.

BASE CARD: 4 1/8” x 11 5/8”  Scored at 1 3/8”, 2 6/8”, 4 1/8”, 5 1/2”, 67/8”, 8 1/4”,  9 5/8” & 11"

ROTATE 180 degrees and score on the short side at 1 3/8” and 2 3/4”

HINGE: Surplus skinny strip 5/8" from the A4 length, folded to create flap (replaces the extra strip Deb uses)

BLOCK LAYERS:  1 ¼” squares and 1” squares.

Amazing Birthday!....

Today l have another one for the guy's. Love these colours together, the combination of Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Soft Suede & Lost Lagoon is great for a softer masculine look and with all of the fun geometric sets that Stampin Up has on offer at the minute, it's so easy to create for the male species..:0). Normally this is something l struggle with, as l don't like fussy, so having so many options is great.

Just Add Ink #226....Sketch!

Time for another fun challenge over at Just Add Ink and this cool sketch was designed for us by Kim.

I really liked the clean lines on this sketch and thought it would work really well with lot's of white space and a pop of colour in the circle area.

The "Perfect Peacock" stamp is a new fave and l enjoyed colouring it with Blendabilities, they are so vibrant and mixing tones, as l have done on the body, gives a whole new colour range.

The design team have come up with some great projects using the sketch, pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.

Celebrate.....

This card is one of those that takes literally minutes to create, l needed a guy card in a hurry the other day and had nothing appropriate. 

And as l had just gotten the "Fabulous Four" set, l thought a combination of greetings and some repetitive stamping just might work....Not to bad for the time and small supplies used.

Although it's not easy to see, l added some score lines in a frame effect to give it some texture.

A Mustache for Dad!...

I'm back on the masculine kick with this post, l just received the super cute little mustache die and couldn't resist a quick play.

There are a couple of retired products on this one, as l figure l need to start using up some surplus stock. 

I actually inked up the word "Father" from the retired Amazing Family set for the first time..:0) and l've been hoarding my "First Edition" dsp, for what, l don't know, so l took the plunge and cut into that as well..:0)

I decided not to be too specific with the sentiment, l figure this could be used for fathers day or birthday.
