TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

I love the gorgeous colourful old buildings that can be found in Scandanavian countries.

For this challenge I wanted to use the Happy Little Things Stamp Set.

I chose a Lost Lagoon card base and a Basic White panel for the stamping.

Confession – I used my now retired Stamparatus to stamp the ‘celebrate’ greeting. It’s just the best way to achieve perfect spacing.

The smaller greeting was stamped and then cut with one of the Happy Little Things Dies. I cut two more of these banners, in Lost Lagoon, and layered them under the greeting. After placing some Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the greeting, I positioned it at the bottom of the card front.

The small greeting was also stamped inside the card and on the envelope.

Finally, I added some Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to the card front.

This project is posting on the same day we return home from our holiday, so I will be back in my craft room tomorrow and back to creating new projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

This challenge introduces the new 2024-2026 In Colour Pretty in Pink.

This is such a cute barn-inspired house.

The coloured circles inspired my project for this challenge.

I started with a Basic Black card bae and added a Pretty in Pink panel.

Then I embossed a narrower Basic White panel using the circles Cheery Patterns Embossing Folder.

I used two of the smaller circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the Pretty in Pink circles that I placed inside some of the Cheery circles.

Then I wrapped and secured three lengths of the Pretty in Pink Brodered Ribbon across the the embossed panel.

The greeting is from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set. It was attached to the embossed panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Extra die cut circles were added to the card insert and envelope.

Finally, I added some of the Pretty in Pink Gems to the card front.

I will share my #CI168 project on June 26th.Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

With this challenge, we are using two more of the new 2024-2026 In Colours – Petunia Pop and Summer Splash.

The flowers look so pretty sitting inside this wonderful old teapot.

For my project, I chose the Layers of Beauty and Lifetime of Love Stamp Set.

I stamped the floral image four times, rotating it to create this frame.

After colouring the flowers and leaves, I fussy cut the frame inside and out. Then I added Clear Wink of Stella to add some lovely glimmer.

I placed the frame over a Basic White panel and made some light pencil marks. These were used to position the greeting, which was stamped in Summer Splash.

The panel was then adhered to a Summer Splash card base.

The frame was then added to the card front.

The card insert and envelope had the same floral image stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I took a length of the Summer Splash Bordered Ribbon, cut it half, frayed it and tied a bow. The bow was attached to the flowers with a Mini Glue Dot.

The last step was to add some Summer Splash Gems to the front of the card.

I will post my project, for #CI167, on June 12th.

Until then, happy stamping.
