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 #JAI737 Inspiration Challenge . 

I am still loving all the new Ephemera Packs and Memories & More pieces in the Jan-April 2025 Catalogue. I used the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack and combined it with the Stripes & Florals Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes.  

Will you be entering our challenge this week? We would love to see your creation. Click the image below to be taken straight to this week's challenge.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for Global Design Project's GDP431 Theme Challenge. This week we have a fun theme challenge involving 'Balloons'.

There are actually quite a few sets that could work for this theme, but I decide to use the Cutest Cows stamp set and combined with the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Card Pack & Cards & Envelopes and Zoo Crew DSP to create my fun card today. I used a Black Stampin' Write Marker to create texture for the grass and the strings for the balloons.

Instructions:

- Use a card from the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for the card base.

- Stamp the cow and birds from the Cutest Cows onto Zoo Crew DSP (cow) and Basic White card (cow's head and birds) using Tuxedo Black ink. Colour with Stampin' Blends ( Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lolly, Cajun Craze, Real Red and Lost Lagoon. 

- Stamp grass using the Cutest Cows set with Tuxedo Black onto the card base. Add some details to the grass and add strings to the balloons using a Black Stampin' Write Marker. Also use the marker to colour in the large black spots on the cow's body. Adhere all the stamped elements to the card. 

- Add some balloon and star stickers from the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Card Pack including one with the sentiment onto it.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for Global Design Project's GDP414 Sketch Challenge .

I used the Beary Cute stamp set, Beary Cute Memories and More card pack, Deckled Circles Dies, Wintry Embossing Folder (retired) and Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins. I used Stampin' Blends to lightly colour the bears to add some shadows and extra interest.

Instructions:

- Use Night of Navy for the card base. Layer with Basic White card and a piece of the Beary Cute Memories & More cards. 

- Die cut a piece of Basic White using the Deckled Circles Dies and emboss this piece with the Wintry (Snowflake) Embossing Folder (retired). Apply some ink with a Blending Brush to highlight the embossing. 

- Stamp the bears from the Beary Cute stamp set onto Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink and use Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and a Colour Lifter to add some light colour to the bears and then adhere. 

- Stamp the sentiment from the Beary Cute set with Night of Navy ink onto Basic White and add some Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! I am sharing a couple of cards I created using the very fun 'It's A Science' stamp set. 

Card 1 Instructions:

- Use Pool Party card for the base and layer with a piece of Basic White. Use another piece of Basic White and stamp bubbles from the It's A Science set using both Lemon Lolly and Pool Party ink. Use a Blending Brush to apply the same colours of ink to the edges of the card. 

- Use Pebbled Path ink to stamp the images and sentiment onto Basic White. Fussy cut the images and colour with Stampin' Blends (Flirty Flamingo, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Pool Party) and add to the card. Add some Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (retired) to complete.

Card 2 Instructions:

- Use a card from the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Cards & Envelope Pack cut down to size for the card base. Stamp images from the It's A Science set using Azure Afternoon ink and second generation stamping.  

- Stamp the main images from the It's A Science set using Pebbled Path ink onto Basic White card and fussy cut. Stamp the sentiment from the set into the centre of the clipboard using Azure Afternoon ink. Colour the images with Stampin' Blends (Lemon Lime Twist, Bubble Bath, Pool Party, Balmy Blue and Lost Lagoon). 

- Use the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch circles from Basic White card and emboss with the Cross Hatch Basics Embossing Folder. Apply Lemon Lolly ink with a Blending Brush to the edges of the punched circles and then add the images to the card. Add some Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (retired) to complete.
