Garden Green and Mossy Meadow, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up!

My youngest daughter recently told me that shw and a friend were teaching themselves to crochet.

For me, that brought back memories of Year 8 Home Economics and learning the same skill. I was totally useless at knitting but crochet was a better option.

I knew that I wanted to use the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder to make a card for her.

I used the CI#184 Colour INKspiration colours for this project – Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow and Poppy Parade. I cut each of these colours into 1.5″x 1.5″ squares and adhered them to a piece of Basic White Card.

Then I ran this card throught the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder.

The greeting was created using the Mini Alphabet Die and Azure Afternoon card with Adhesive Sheet attached.

I used the Basic White Baker’s Twine and a small crochet hook to create a length of chain to tie a bow.

Finally, I added an individual embossed square to the card insert and envelope back.

IT’S TIME FOR COLOUR INKspiration CHALLENGE #175

For this challenge I decided to continue with my Penciled Pear cards.

The outlined pencil work that make the images perfect for colouring.

So, what do pears look like when coloured with this palette?

I started by stamping the cluster of four smaller pears, in each of the three key colours, on each side of the Basic White layer.

Then I wrapped a long length of Linen Thread three times around the layer and tied a bow. Using a smaller length of the same thread, I was able to a second bow.

I stamped the larger pear, in Crushed Curry, and then coloured it using the Light Crushed Curry Crumb Cake Blends pens.

Applying some Colour Lifter allowed me to create some light and shade on the pear. Finally, I painted the pear with Clear Wink of Stella.

The large pear was cut using one of the Perennial Postage Dies. The greeting was also stamped in Crushed Curry and cut with another one of the dies.

Both of the die cut pieces were attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card insert and back of the envelope were stamped with the small cluster of pears.

Finally, I added some of the Crushed Curry dots, from the Dots for Days pack. They added that little extra embellishment.

Make sure that you head over to the Colour INKspiration Challenge Facebook page to see what the rest of the Crew and other crafters have created for this challenge.

Until my next project, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION CI#173 PROJECT

The latest Colour INKspiration challenge is such a great colour combination.

For my project I chose the More Than Autumn Bundle.

The Very Vanilla cardbase had a Cherry Cobbler layer and an embossed Shy Shamrock later adhered to it.

I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder to create the texture on the Shy Shamrock layer.

Then all the fun started – three lattes stamped, die cut and coloured. And five stamped, die cut and coloured donuts.

After positioning these tasty morsels across the front of the card I added thedie cut words. It was so easy to place them on the card because I used Adhesive Sheet behind the Very Vanilla card.

I took a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, coloured it with Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend, cut it down into strands and tied a bow. After popping a Mini GLue Dot behind the bow, I placed it on Cherry Cobbler coffee cup.

I stamped, cut and coloured additional donuts for the card insert and back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend pen and placed them on the card.
