Festival of Trees #2....

Evening!.....With the Christmas cray in full swing and limited creative time, l decided to make a batch of super CAS cards, which I'll be sharing over the coming days.

They were all created using a variance of this weeks Just Add Ink sketch and the colours of my DT sample in mind, that and the fact that l still hadn't cleaned my work space and they were still sitting there..:0)

Just Add Ink #244.....Sketch!

With only two weeks until Christmas Tina has provided us with a lovely sketch  for creating Christmas Cards with. Although you can use the sketch for any occasion, as some of the design team have done.

For a look at their lovely projects, you can pop over to the Just Add Ink challenge blog and check them out.

As you can see, l went with Christmas and made a quick and simple card and pretty much stuck to the sketch, using the "Festival of Trees" set.

Wondrous Wreath & JAI colours!

Evening all!...Just popping in to share a second card l created in this weeks Just Add Ink challenge colours.

While had everything still out from creating my sample, l thought l'd try the partial die cutting technique with the same products. It's half of an A4 cardbase, folded in half and then in half again....It's a bit cute and dainty and makes a sweet little gift card, for when you don't want to give a standard size.

The white inside panel, opens the opposite direction, to allow for a hidden greeting.

Just Add Ink #243....Colour!

Happy December people!....Can you believe it's only 20 sleeps until the big chubby guy arrives?  I really thought l was on top it all this year, but l just sat down with a cuppa and notepad to make a list and guess what?....I'm so NOT!   Oh well, there's always late night shopping...:0(

It's  time for our first December challenge at Just Add Ink and Kim has given us a gorgeous colour palette to play with and one that l think works surprisingly well for Christmas.

And of course, with my packaging obsession, there just had to be a box or two involved..:0) These were made with the "Gift Box Punch Board" using three of the cube sizes.

White: 1.75x1.75x1.75  Red: 2.5x2.5x2.5   Blue:3.25x3.25x3.25.

Lovely Lace in Bermuda!...

Afternoon all!...I thought l'd share the other card l made with the "Choose Happiness" set, this one was inspired by this pretty card from Daniela. I absolutely love her minimalist style.

It was the perfect excuse for inking up my "Lovely Lace" background stamp too!

Choose Happiness!

At Just Add Ink this week, we have a lovely inspiration challenge, it has pretty white daisy flowers and aqua tones.  So as l was playing with those colours and the "Choose Happiness" set, l thought l'd make a couple of different style cards as well.

Just Add Ink #242...Inspiration!

It's Just Add Ink challenge time again and this week Trish has provided some lovely summery inspiration.

I had no preconceived ideas when l started creating this weeks sample, only that l wanted to create something with a pretty/rustic feel.

l pretty much grabbed the "Choose Happiness" set and it evolved from there. 

Don't for get to check out the lovely inspiration provided by the design team.

Alphabet Press!

Hey there!...Just popped in to share another card for the guy's, I'm still on my quest to overcome my fear of masculine papercrafting....:0)  It's pretty simple, but l did have fun inking up my "Alphabet Press" embossing folder, to create the background and it was fun to have another play with the cute Mustache die.
