Colour INKspiration 41

categories: AddINKtive Design Team, Blog Hop, Cards, Colour Inkspiration, Fancy Folds, Wedding

Welcome to Colour INKspiration 41.

Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month the Colour INKspiration crew create projects with a given colour palette. You can join in the fun too, by creating your own work of art and uploading the image to our Facebook Page HERE.

This week we are using our Regals Collection to inspire you all.

Choose any three colours from this collection plus any basics for your project.

My project for this week was based on Bronwyn Eastley’s Share What you Love Pocket Card Tutorial but I used the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set.

This card is a great fold and simple to make. Its a bit hard to see but I have used the Tufted Embossing Folder to create a pretty embossed background behind the bride.

I used Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Smokey Slate for my cardstock, and a touch of Crushed Curry from the special release Watercolour Pencils available last month for the brides hair.

I love how this turned out. So much so, we made this very card at class this week!

I hope you liked my project. If you would like to learn how to create this card fold then pop on over to Bronwyn’s Tutorial store HERE.

Now it’s time to hop on over to the lovely Tanya Bell and see what she has created for you all.

Happy Crafting

Healing Hugs Pocket Card

categories: AddINKtive Design Team, card in a box, Cards, Fancy Folds

Hi all,

I thought I would pop by today to share with all you this brilliant Pocket Card design by Bronwyn Eastley.

I have used our beautiful Healing Hugs stamp set to create the centre piece of my pocket car, but you can easily change up the design to add whatever suits the occasion!

Healing Hugs Pocket Card

These clever cards are designed so that you pull out the card from the pocket to add your message.

Despite the look they are actually really simple to make.

I have used Stamps from the Timeless textures stamp set in the background, and its a bit hard to see, but i created a very soft background layer on the white cardstock using Sahara Sand and the Sheet Music stamp. These two stamp sets are great for creating interesting textured backgrounds and adding depth to your cards.

Do you want to know how to create your own Pocket Card? Pop on over to Bronwyn’s tutorial shop HERE and see all her amazing designs!

Happy Crafting Everyone!

Colour INKspiration 39 – Subtles

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Colour Inkspiration, Flowers

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks Colour INKspiration 39 – Subtles.

For this challenge we are using the subtle colour palette, where you can choose 3 subtle colours plus any basics to create your project. Remember, once you have created it jump on over to the Colour INKspiration facebook group to upload your pic for the challenge right HERE.

Since our colour shake up in June, the Subtles collection has by far been my stand out favourite colour group. There is such a range of pretty, coordinating hues to play with, and Soft Sea Foam is by far one of my stand out colours!

However, today I decided to create my card in hues of blue using my current favourite stamp set – Healing Hugs!

I used a tutorial by the very talented Jennifer McGuire called Stamped see through cards to create tonights card. I thought Healing hugs and the leaves would work perfectly to create a similar look to the one she creates on her video HERE.

These cards work by layering all the individual pieces together so they slightly overlap, then adhering them, so the card front is see through in the gaps. It’s quite a clever and effective card and I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

My flowers are coloured using Pool Party ink, the gently using a sponge dauber around the edges to add some Balmy Blue for extra depth. Add a bit of Pear Pizzaz for the leaves and my challenge was complete!

I hope you enjoyed my creation this week. Don’t forget to upload yours by Monday 20th of August.

Now its time to hop on over to Jackie’s blog to see what she has created!

Happy Crafting everyone!

Colour INKspiration 38

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Colour INKspiration Challenge #38!

What is a Colour INKspiration Challenge I hear you say….well it’s where the design team take a specific colour palette every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, and create a project using those colours. You can play along too over at our Facebook Group by creating your own project and uploading an image for us all to be inspired by!

Not a member of the group? No Problem…just click HERE and request to join, but make sure you answer those questions first!

For this challenge we are creating with a very pretty colour Palette of Powder Pink; Gray Granite; Berry Burst; Whisper White and Basic Black as inspired by the image below.

I have an upcoming Follow Your Dreams Class, so I decided that was the set I needed to pull out and get playing with for this challenge. Are you loving all the new catalogue items? Have you found your favourites so far?

Follow Your Dreams

Here is my project for Colour INKspiration 38.

I started by stamping the large dream catcher with versamark and heat embossing with Gold embossing powder. I then cut out three smaller dream catchers in Powder Pink, Berry Burst and Gray Granite and used the long feathers for my Gold dreamcatcher. I even added some Tranquil Textures Sprinkles tied on to metallic thread to give my dreamcatcher a 3D feel. I softly sponged the background using one of the smaller dreamcatcher circles as a mask.

It is a bit of a fiddly card to make, I love how it turned out with all the layers!

Here’s a bit of a closer look for you.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Now it’s time to hop on over to Kathryn’s blog and see what she has created for you all.

Happy Crafting everyone!

CTC 184 – Delightfully Detailed

categories: Blog Hop, Cards, CTC, Male

Welcome to CTC 184 – Delightfully Detailed

where every Sunday the Design Team Copy and Share or Selectively Edit images from a given section of the catalogue. This week we are CASEing from pages 38 – 51 of the Annual Catalogue.

This section is full of beautiful inspiration, so it was difficult to know what to CASE, but as it happens – I realised yesterday that I hadn’t created a card like I normally do when my daughter performs.

Yesterday she was staring in Into The Woods Jnr. I love being able to create an individual card that relates to the performance.

I used the basic layout elements of this card…

I used the basic layout but for mine I used the new Subtle embossing Folder as the background. I am LOVING this folder for just that bit of texture in the background without overwhelming the images on the card. And Of course – what better set to use for Into The Woods than our Rooted in Nature Bundle!

Into the Woods Card

I really like the effect of the Tree Stump stamped on Vellum. It gives a more subtle appearance on your cards. And those brilliant embossing dies to create the leaves…whose not loving those!

TheLabeller Alphabet allowed me to create whatever sentiment I wanted! Don’t you love being able to get as creative as you want!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks project. Now it’s time to hop on over to Monique and see what she has created for you all!

Colour INKspiration 35

categories: Blog Hop, Cards, Colour Inkspiration, Techniques

Welcome to

Colour INKspiration 35

where today get to choose 3 colours from our new Neutrals colour palette!

Stampin’ Up! ® has just had a major colour revamp, so to start off the new catalogue year at Colour INKspiration we’ve decided to feature a Colour Collection for the first challenge each month (2nd Wednesday) until we have showcased them all! The second challenge in the month (4th Wednesday) will be a Pinterest inspired pic as per usual just to mix it up a bit. This month we are starting off with the NEUTRALS COLLECTION and you can choose any 3 colours from that range for your challenge project. We are also changing the rules about what else you can add to the mix; essentially just the Basics – Whisper White, Very Vanilla and Basic Black as well as metallics.

Have you managed to have a good look at our changes to the Colour Families yet? I LOVE the changes to the colour palettes. I used to be a Regals collection girl, but now I find I fluctuate between the funky Brights Collection and the Pastels of the Subtles collection. There are so many new possible colour combinations to choose from and create.

For todays colour challenge, the 3 Neutral Colours I chose were Crumb Cake; Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow.

I hadn’t inked up my Rooted in Nature Bundle yet and I have seen some lovely projects with it – so I decided this colour challenge, with it’s earthy tones, would suit the use of the bundle perfectly!

Rooted In Nature

I stamped some of the tree in the background using the Stamp Off method before stamping the timber onto a piece of Vellum Cardstock, fussy cutting and adhering over the trees so you can still see them in the background. Another full strength Mossy Meadow Tree for the front of the timber, some Linen Thread and the card front was complete.

I love the effect where you can still see the trees through the vellum layer!

I hope you enjoyed my project tonight. Now it’s time to continue along the hop to see all the other great projects made just with Neutrals!

Up next is Elizabeth

And don’t forget to join the challenge yourself! Just create your own project using three neutrals and post a pic to our Facebook Group HERE!

CTC 182 – Tea Room meets Painted Glass

categories: Blendabilities, Blog Hop, Cards, CTC, Flowers

Hello and welcome to CTC 182. This week we are CASEing the Tea Room section on pages 13 – 25 of the Annual Catalogue.

How exciting that we now get to play with HEAPS of new goodies from the BRAND NEW CATTY!

Are you absolutely loving it?

Tonight I’m excited to be playing along. I barely seemed to have time to create lately, so it was good to get crafting for tonights hop.

There was plenty to choose from in the Tea Room section of the catalogue, but this image in particular grabbed my attention…

This card features the gorgeous Stitched all Around Bundle. I haven’t got mine yet, but I thought it would be perfect to substitute the design using the Painted Glass Bundle. So here are my

CTC 182 Tea Room Meets Painted Glass Cards:

My first card uses one of my all time favourite returning colours – Mint Macaron. The rest of the colours I based on the Designer Series Paper Colours from the Natures Poem DSP including one of our new colours – Petal Pink.

I used the Big Shot Embossing Mats to create the embossed shape on the card base. These mats are brilliant! You will be able to emboss any of your framelit shapes using these mats to create interesting backgrounds to suit any needs. The rose from the Painted Glass set is one of my favourite flowers. For this card I fussy cut the roses as I didn’t have any new Stampin Blends to match my colours for the leaves (They’re on my wish list too!)

My second card I made, as i was truly dying to make a card using the new Soft Sea Foam colour. Maybe it reminds me a bit of our old Pistachio Pudding – but I love it. I was a bit stumped at first as to what DSP to use as I don’t have much of that yet either, then I remembered our Wood Textures DSP is carrying over and would really help me achieve the subtle look I was after.

I have to say – I really love how this one turned out! I hope you do to. This bundle has so many possibilities – not just for stained glass looks!

Now its time to hop on over to Elizabeth’s blog and see what she has created. Don’t forget to hop all the way around and get some new catalogue inspiration!

Don’t forget to play along with the CASEing the Catty Challenge. Just choose a pic, create your own version and upload it to our Facebook page!

CTC 180 – Favourite Retiring Project

categories: Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Kids Cards

So it’s been a while as I’m sure you will all be aware, but life has been SUPER busy lately! But I have jumped on board for CTC 180 – Favourite Retiring Project.

Today was no easy decision at all. Retiring time always brings mixed feelings of sadness saying goodbye to my favourites and anticipation for all the new goodies. I honestly couldn’t decide which was my absolute favourite for today’s challenge, so I combined a few favourites to create my project today.

I think if I was honest, my absolute favourite retiring item would have to be my Large Number Framelits. I’m not entirely sure what I am going to do without those….who am I kidding, they haven’t even moved out of my ‘current’ framelits basket to my retired but keeping’ basket yet, so I will continue to use them for a LONG time yet!!! I truly believe they are a MUST HAVE item!

My other favourites are the Rainbow Builder Framelits and the Myths and Magic Bundle – so I added them all to this project that I created for my niece!

I think this card pretty much sums up my favourite retiring projects! I will miss all of these products so much! Lucky for you, you still have a few more days to get your hands on our retiring products before they disappear forever. I’ve learnt the hard way not to delay or you miss out! Don’t be like me and make sure you place your order before May 31st!

I look forward to sharing some of our new goodies with you in the next CASEing the Catty hops!

Now its time to hop on over to the lovely Monique and see what she will miss the most!

Happy Crafting!

CTC 172 – Myths and Magic

categories: Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Gift Box

Happy Easter everyone and welcome to CTC 172 – Myths and Magic!

Every Sunday night a new challenge begins for CASEing the Catty where the design team Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit images from a particular section of the current catalogues to help inspire you and show you how much more fun you can get from your products!

This week for CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the Myths and Magic section of the Occasions Catalogue on pages 36-43

The Myths and Magic suite is one of my favourite suites to play with! I have used these items HEAPS! So today I chose to CASE the Flying Home Set on Page 41!

I love the little bird houses, so my thought was to make a little notecard pack using the individual birdhouses for someone who may have or be moving house and need to thank people, or you could use them for new neighbours to welcome them to the neighbourhood! So I CASED the main image, and then the box on the bottom right to pop them all in!

Flying Home Notecard Pack

I used the Narrow Notecards for this project. I sponged the background with Pool Party, as watercoloring on the notecards makes them pill. I them masked the images I didn’t want to stamp with a sticky note, before stamping on the card. I them stamped the entire image on a seperate piece of Whisper White before colouring with the watercolour pencils and blender pens. I then fussy cut around the birdhouses and mounted them directly over the image on the card front using mini dimensionals.

I also stamped some little birds and fussy cut those before popping them on half a mini dimensional (yes, you can cut the mini ones too!) I kept the sentiment fairly neutral so you could use them as a thank you or as a welcome card. The sentiment is from Wood Words.

I then CASEd the box to pop all the notecards in using the Lots to Love Box. Its fits 3 cards and the envelopes perfectly!

Thanks for popping in! Now it’s time to continue the hop over on Monique’s Blog and see what she has created they week!

I hope you all have had a lovely Easter! Don’t forget to keep crafting! And remember – you can join the challenge too by taking a picture of what you create and posting HERE!

Colourful Seasons Bike Ride Shadow Box

categories: 3D, AddINKtive Design Team, Birthday, Cards, Fancy Folds, Male, Paper Boxes

A big Hello to you all!

I wanted to share with you today a bit of a fun project using Bronwyn Eastley’s Bike Ride Shadow Box Tutorial.

I made this one for an order for a friend who needed a fiftieth birthday card for her brother in law. The brief was – he enjoys bike riding.

Isn’t is lucky that we have the Build a Bike set to make this even easier. My design is based pretty close to Bronwyn’s, but I needed to make it more masculine!

I used some embossing paste directly over the cloud dies on the background and gave the card an Autumn feel using Colourful Seasons Bundle and attaching the leaves to the branch.

I did have to use the retired Little Numbers Dies to make sure a 50 could fit nicely onto the card! And I think this is the first time EVER I have used Always Artichoke! Lol. But it needed just a little green to lift the overall look!

You get a bit more of an idea of the depth with this picture.

Bronwyn’s tutorials are super fun for creating a ‘special’ card. Why not pop over to her tutorial shop HERE to see what you can start creating! They really are versatile!

And don’t forget – you only have until the weekend to stock up on all those FREE Saleabration goodies you are after! Now is the perfect time to stock up on cardstock, Designer Paper, adhesives and the retiring In Colours and reap the rewards with FREE items!
