Hello and welcome back to my blog! I have another Just Add Ink Design Team post for you today. This week's challenge is the Just Add Ink #JAI747 Inspiration Challenge . I was inspired by the colours and florals in the challenge image. 

I used the Cheers & Sips stamp set, Mixed Florals Dies, Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack, Floral Delight DSP and Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for Stampin' Fancy Friday's Sketch Challenge this month. 

I used the Heirloom Arrangements Kit which I did not use as per the kit, but rather used the pieces more like an ephemera pack. I also used the 2 3/8' Circle Punch and 2024-2026 In Colour Resin Dots.

Instructions:

- Use Pretty in Pink for the card base and layer with Basic White card. Cut down one of the card bases in the Heirloom Arrangements Kit and add as another layer.

- Use one of the decorative pieces from the Heirloom Arrangements Kit and punch a circle from it using the 2 3/8" Circle Punch and attach to the card. Add some floral and leaf pieces from the kit and layer over the punched circle.

- Use some leftover Pretty in Pink card and stamp the grid pattern from the Heirloom Arrangements Kit with Pretty in Pink ink. Distress the edges of this piece. Stamp a sentiment from the stamp set onto Basic White card with Tuxedo Black ink. Layer the sentiment onto the Pretty in Pink distressed card and adhere to the decorative punched circle.

- Stamp butterflies using Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White card and fussy cut. Add these butterflies and one from the Heirloom Arrangements Kit to the card. Finally add some Pretty in Pink 2024-2026 In Colour Resin Dots to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the Global Design Project's GDP492 Case the Designer Challenge. This week we are CASEing my fellow Aussie and amazing team member Kayla Renee. I was inspired by Kayla's card design and bright colours. Visit the Global Design Project Instagram & Facebook pages during the week to see the rest of the team's entries.

For my card I used the Cheers & Sips Bundle, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Celebratory Sips DSP and Holographic Resin Dots. I also used some of the new 2025-2027 In Colour card stock.

Instructions:

- Use Strawberry Slush for the card base and fold using a bone folder to create a centre opening fun fold card. Layer pieces of Basic White card and then the Celebratory Sips DSP onto the two front folds of the card. Layer a piece of  Basic White card on the inside of the card.

- Use the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut a large circle from Secret Sea card and adhere onto one of the front folds of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Fussy cut drink images from the Celebratory Sips DSP and adhere onto the die cut circle. 

- Stamp the sentiment from the Cheers & Sips stamp set onto Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink and adhere onto the die cut circle. Add some Holographic Resin Dots to the card front to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop. I am joined by an amazing lineup of crafters so make sure you go to my Instagram page HERE to see the rest of the team's creations. 

The aim of the hop is to use up some of the huge stash that we all accumulate. Hopefully it will also inspire both ourselves and others to combine some of our old and new products to reduce that stash.

This month's theme is "Retired Colour". One of my all time favourite colours is Polished Pink (no surprise that one of the pinks is a favourite) which was part of the 2021-2023 In Colour range. I actually loved all five of the colours from that range so decided use a couple of the other colours - Pale Papaya & Soft Succulent.

I used the In Bloom stamp set and coordinating Pierced Blooms Dies, Cross Hatch Embossing Folder, 2021-2023 In Colour Treat Bags, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Stampin' Blends (all retired).

Instructions:

- Use Basic White card for the base. Use another piece of Basic White card and layer with a piece of a Pale Papaya Treat Bag and then emboss them both with the Cross Hatch Embossing Folder.

- Die cut multiple flowers and leaves using the Pierced Blooms Dies from Polished Pink and Basic White card. Colour some of the Basic White flowers and leaves with Stampin' Blends (Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent).

- Layer the flowers onto each other and then adhere to the card. Add some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels both to the flowers and to the card front.

- Stamp the sentiment onto Basic White card using Tuxedo Black ink and adhere to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
