You Make My Heart Smile - Colour INKspiration Challenge #180




Hello and welcome!  And thanks for popping in.

Our first Colour INKspiration Challenge for 2025 has kicked off and we have been given these delightful colours inspired by a  photo chosen by fellow Crew Member, Brenton Golley.  I can't wait to go and see what everyone has created.  This Challenge will go for five weeks and will close at 7pm AEDT on Monday 10 February so if you feel inspired, I would love for you to join in.

I'm sharing a card with a definite romantic vibe using the Layers Of Beauty Bundle. The image was stamped in Basic Beige and coloured using all three of the Challenge colours using the co-ordinating masks.  

The image was die-cut and attached to a piece of Basic Beige card stock with Dimensionals which was stamped with the same large image with a little ink blending in the centre and then matted onto a piece of Petunia Pop card stock.  This was adhered onto a Basic Beige card base.

The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Petunia Pop card stock using Early Espresso ink and attached with Dimensionals. A few sequins from the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (SAB 2025) were added to add a little sparkle.

To complete the card, the large image was stamped into the bottom right corner of a piece of Basic White card stock using second generation stamping and matted onto a piece of Petunia Pop card stock and adhered into the centre


SUPPLIES:

  • Bundle: Layers Of Beauty
  • Cardstock:  Basic Beige, Petunia Pop, Basic White
  • Inks:  Basic Beige, Petunia Pop, Pecan Pie, Early Espresso
  • Embellishments:  Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins (SAB)

Christmas Stamped One-Sheet Wonder - Colour INKpiration Challenge #179

 

 


 Hello and thanks for stopping by!

If you're new to my Blog, welcome and together with those returning, I hope you enjoy the project I have for you today.

Today I am sharing a project created for Colour INKspiration Challenges #178.  The inspiration photo for this Challenge was chosen by me and our Guest Designer for this Challenge is the fabulous Janette Goodall.  I can't wait to see what everyone has created.

 I took advantage of these five gorgeous colours which are very much in line with a contempary Christmas, but could easily be used for any other occasion and did some stamping.  I picked out a few stamp sets are are now in the Last Chance Products category in my Stampin' Up! Store plus a couple more (this technique is usually product heavy).  Keeping a simple design of stamping posies down the centre of a sheet of Basic White A4 cardstock, the outcome is quite pleasing. 

A full list of the stamp sets used is mentioned below. 


A full video tutorial showing the stamping can be found HERE on my You Tube Channel or by clicking on the photo below.
 

 To create the cards, the stamped sheet was trimmed to create 3 pieces measuring 3 5/8"  x 3 5/8" and 2 pieces measuring 3 5/8" x 5 1/4" to make up 5 cards.  These pieces were matted onto pieces of Real Red and Balmy Blue cardstock, offset to create fun, jaunty layers. 

 

 

 SUPPLIES:

  • Stamp Sets:  *Drizzling Droplets, *Irresistible  Blooms, Textured Floral, Cheerful Daisies, *Queen Bee
  • Inks:  Lemon Lolly, Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue
  • Cardstock:  Basic White 

*These stamp sets are on the Last Chance Products in my store and are only available to purchase while stocks last. 

 

Another option for cutting into cards ...
