CI#112 Colour INKspiration "Blessings of Home" sneak peak #3

It's another Colour INKspiration challenge and this week's colours are gorgeous together. I love the Inspiration pic and I was hoping to create a gum leaf scene but time has run away from me so instead I am sharing a card I made using a new set coming in the January Mini Catalogue. It's called Blessings of Home and is a set we used at a recent virtual "Onstage" Stampin Up! event for demonstrators. The stamp set comes with coordinating dies, some  beautiful papers which make it so easy to use.

Here I have stamped the large floral spray onto Crumb Cake cardstock ( I know- should have been Gray Granite!) and coloured with Watercolour Pencils. It's a subtle and delicate look. I teamed it with the bright striped DSP and softened that with a strip of dry embossed vellum. I did use a stronger green than Mint Macaron, so while not strictly the colours it still follows " "the vibe" of the inspiration pic. We'd love you to do the same and share your creations with us on our Facebook page.
  



I was having such a relaxing time colouring in that I made a few more, this one is also in the same tones. I can't wait to show you the set when it is available. Of course if you would like to own it now you can join my team of demonstrators and select it in your starter kit.


There are 2 packs of Watercolour Pencils

The original set of 12 + white

and the Supplementary set of 10

SO relaxing to use.


The Pattern Party DSP is a massive stack of 48 pages of 12x12 paper for $31 which you can purchase with stampin rewards - earn these when you host a party or your order is over $250 dollars. Each page is coloured on one side and Black/white on the reverse. It's a very versatile stack.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
