Up Up and Away

Pin It

Sorry I have been MIA, I have a stall in the weekend so have been preparing for that.

This week's JAI #299 Inspiration.

As I really struggle with pinks, I turned to The Paper Player #283

So no farther ado here's my card.

 I have used Balloon Celebrations Stamp Setand matching Balloon Punch.

I spritzed Watermelon Wonder and Pear Pizzaz on to Shimmery Card Stock.

I mounted the balloon up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment and balloon inside to complete the card.

Go and check out both challenge sites, get inspired and create.
Knit World are doing another Mystery Baby Blanket but this time it is crocheting, so I have been working on week 2 square.

Know What I Love?

Pin It

I have made this card for a very special young lady.

 I have cased a card the Lyssa from Songs of My Heart Stampers Blog that she made last week.

Lyssa is a demo in the US go check her blog HERE.

I used the colours from Just Add Ink #297 - Colour Challenge.

 I used a SAB Stamp Set called What I Love, this didn't smoke my tyres at all.

I only got because I earned it free, but I loved what Lyssa did with it and the sentiments are lovely now that I have had a good look at it.

I stamped the leaves them used the 1 1/4' Circle Punch.

 I mounted the circles on a Stampin' Dimensionals.

I wanted a simply but elegant inside of the card.

Go and have a look at both sites.

Be inspired and play along.

Bloomin' Love

Pin It

Last night at work I thinking about the sketch for this weeks Just Add Ink Challenge.

I came up with an idea and was looking forward to getting home so I could play.

 The colours are Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Whisper White.

I have used the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits, I cut them it out with the Big Shot using the Precision Plate and them used Big Shot Brush to get it out of the die.

It came out so easy, hoary no more stinky drier sheets for me.

I used Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper for the heart.

 

The thinlits have a coordinating Stamp Set called Bloomin' Love it's a photopolymer set of 16 and you can buy in a bundle and 15%.

The flower on the inside of the card is from Bloomin' Love.

 The get well message on the front of the card are from A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set.

I finished of the by running a round the Whisper White square withe Bermuda Bay Marker, mounting with Stampin' Dimensionals and adding some Candy Dots.

Go over to Just Add Ink and have a look the designers cards and also play along.

Just Add a Sunburst!

This week at Just Add Ink challenge 205 - Just Add a Sunburst.

I knew straight away what technique I was going to use.

I wanted to made a Starburst/ Sunburst card, Dawn Olchefske has a video tutorial.

I have seen lots online, it's been on my to do list for a while now.

 I have used Quartrefancy Specialty Designer paper for the Sunburst.
I love the bright colours in this DSP.

I used 2 of the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie sides of the paper to make my sunburst.

I used the Sale-A-Bration See Ya later Stamp Set, I stamped it in Black Stazon on Whisper White Card Stock.

 I love this set, you can earn it for free when you spend $110 from me.
I punched it out with 2 3/8" Scallop Punch, then I sponged with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Ink.
I added a heart from the Owl Punch and added a tiny Pearl Bacis Jewels.
I punch out a 2 1/2" Circle in Pumpkin Pie and mounted both with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon lengthways.

I sponged the inside Whisper White Card Stock and 2 strips of the DSP.
Thanks Tina for the challenge, go and check out Just Add Ink and play along with challenge.

Two Birds With One Stone

Today's card came together so easy, it was complete in about 15 minutes.

I have been looking and thinking about Pals Paper Art, PPA193- Sketch, also Just Add Ink # 204.....Colour Challenge since Friday.

For the back ground I have stamped the thin lines stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set using a Stampin' Dazzle Marker which is now retired.

Here's the sketch.

 The colours are Pistachio Pudding, Crumb Cake and Gold.

I have made this card for a friend whose birthday that was yesterday, yeah I hear you I only made it today but better later than never.

Hadleigh shares the same birthday as Samuel, we have always said they are twin even though Hadleigh is older.

The 3 hexagons are from Six-Sided Sampler Stamp Set, I dusted them with Gold Embossing Powder and used the Heat Tool to emboss them.
The happy birthday is from Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set it is cut out using the matching Bitty Banners Framelits.
I used the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and Big Shot on the Crumb Cake panel, I wanted to give it a vintage look so I rolled the edges I also rough up the edge of the banner.

For the inside I did the same as I did on the Pistachio Pudding card, the stamped wish big from A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set in pistachio Pudding Ink.

Happy birthday Dad

Today is Dad's Birthday.

This weeks challenge at JAI #203 Just add a sketch.

 When I saw it, I though of the Apothecary Framelits.

Then I was thinking about colours, then remembered I still need to make Dad's birthday card.

The combo colour is Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla.

I used Early Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock with the Stripes Embossing folder after running it through the Big Shot I sanded it with the Stampin' Sanding System, the inside Early Espresso Core'dinations is the same.

The stamp is a Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set 'See Ya Later', spend $110 and get me free.

The banner is Craze, I inked the Striped Embossing Folder with Early Espresso Ink then ran it through the Big Shot.

It shifted in the folder before running it through but I love the affect.

To finish the punched 2 3/8" circles, which is 1 of the 3 in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.

I glued them on the sentiment, then added Cajun Craze Candy Dots on top.

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday it is very hot here in Christchurch we are heading for the beach soon.
