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 TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION #163 PROJECT

Welcome to our 163rd challenge at Colour INKspiration! We welcome Teah Karr Woodward as our Guest Designer.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Monica Formosa. As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI163, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Starry Sky, 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! colour.

These colours are so vivid and it took me a while to figure out which stamp set/bundle I would use. Then Attention Shoppers came to mind.

I decided to use a Basic White card base and a panel of Crushed Curry paper from the 2023-2024 Regals 6″x 6″ DSP pack.

Then I used Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black card stock, with Adhesive Sheet attached to each, to die cut the shopping trolley.

The fun part was then stamping each of the shopping trolley items, several times, and then die cutting them. Then I used Stampin’ Write Markers and Stampin’ Blends to colour each of them.

Because the greeting I chose was ‘Treat Yourself’, I needed to fill the trolley with loads of goodies.

I stamped the same greeting inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

For bling, I added Clear Wink of Stella onto each of the trolley items.

One day soon I hope to find where the flower bouquet die has disappeard to!

Tomorrow I have my 3D Beach Day project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
