Hello again and welcome back to my blog! I have another Just Add Ink Design Team post for you today. This week's challenge is Just Add Ink #JAI639 Colour Challenge  

I actually found this colour challenge quite hard despite the beautiful colours in the challenge. I decided to create a retro themed birthday card using the Best Day stamp set and creating the retro colours using hand drawn and coloured wavy lines with Stampin' Blends.

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today's card is for Global Design Project's #GDP345 Colour Challenge . This week we have a fun colour challenge using Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet and Petal Pink.

For my card I decided to use the brand new Full of Love stamp set, coloured with Stampin' Blends using two of the new 2022-2024 In Colours

Instructions:

- Use Sweet Sorbet A4 card cut in half lengthwise and folded for the card base. Stamp the main image from the Full of Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Tuxedo Black ink. Colour with Stampin' Blends (Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink). Use the Colour Lifter to soften some of the colours. Stamp the image onto Masking Paper and fussy cut out. 

- Apply over the coloured image and use a Blending Brush and Petal Pink ink and apply around the stamped image. Stamp the sentiment on a strip of Basic White using Starry Sky ink and adhere to a strip of Starry Sky card and attach to the card. Adhere the panel to the card base and add some Rhinestone Basic Jewels coloured with Starry Sky Stampin' Blends to decorate.

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today's card is for Global Design Project's #GDP344 Case The Designer . Today we are CASEing the amazing Charlet Mallett. 

I love Charlet's original card with all its vibrant colours. I decided to use the florals and layout as inspiration for my card today. I used the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, Bough Punch and 2021-2023 In Colour Opal Rounds. I also used the just retired Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Don't forget this stamp set will be retiring at the end of June, and it is a perfect set for easy to create floral card especially with the coordinating Bough Punch.

Instructions:

- Use Gray Granite A4 card cut in half lengthwise and folded for the card base. Layer with a piece of the Basic White card embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder (retired). 

- Stamp the flowers and leaves using Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide inks onto Basic White card and fussy cut. Punch leaves using the Bough Punch from Gray Granite and Parakeet Party. Adhere all of the flowers and leaves to the card.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set using Versamark ink onto Basic  Gray card and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Add some Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Colour Opal Rounds.

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing my May monthly showcase projects for the Stampin' Up!® Artisan Design Team! 

For this month's projects, I was asked to use products from the Sun Prints Suite (from the new Stampin' Up!® 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue) including the "Nature's Prints" Bundle, Fern Embossing Folder and Sun Prints Designer Series Paper . I hope that the projects I have made inspire you to create something using this lovely bundle! Don't forget to visit the Stampin' Up!® Corporate Facebook Page to see what the other Artisan Team Members have created with this set.

Here is the full bundle with the Sun Prints Suite.

Hello There

TIP:  Use an embossing folder with your freshly cut die-cuts to add texture and visual interest and make unique embellishments for your projects.

Hello There

Use the Dies to die cut some extra leaves from Sweet Sorbet card. Adhere in a bouquet on the front of the card and add a double bow using the Starry Sky 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.
