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.

WELL, IT’S WEDNESDAY & I HAVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO SHARE

After colouring the large magnolia images over the last two projects, I decided to create a magnolia wreath.

I started by adding a 9″ x 9″ piece of Pecan Pie behind the white frame mat.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut 7 magnolias for this framed piece. I also did the same with the magnolia bud and leaves.

The large magnolias were then positioned on the Pecan Pie. Then I placed the buds and leaves. When I was happy with the shape of the wreath I secured the magnolias with dimensoinals. The buds and leaves were then glues into place.

I used a greeting from the Lifetime of Love Stamp Set and stamped it in Pecan Pie. It was then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

A length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon was folded in half and attached to the back of the greeting.

I added dimensionals to the back of the greeting and positioned it, as you can see.

Finally, I added some Lemon Lolly gems from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR ANOTHER PROJECT USING THIS WEEK’S FEATURED PRODUCTS

For this project I am only using the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper, from the January – February Sale-a-bration Brochure. It was designed to coordinate with the Adoring Hearts Bundle.

This DSP also works well with many other stamp sets and I am teaming this paper with the Lifetime of Love Stamp Set from the January – April Mini Catalogue.

As you will see, you can combine them to make a gorgeous wedding card.

This is quite a quick and easy card to make. I started with a Basic White card base and added a panel of Gold Foil. Then a piece of the hearts DSP was added.

The greeting was stamped using Real Red ink before being cut using one of the square Stylish Shaped Dies.

This was then adhered to a gold square. A length of gold ribbon, from the Gold & Silver Trim bundle, was wrapped around these squares before being tied in a bow.

Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to lift the greeting up from card front.

I sanother greeting inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

I like the understated elegance of this card.

The Lifetime of Love Stamp Set is going to be my new go-to stamp set for wedding cards.

Later today I will post another project created for the first ColourINKspiration Challenge of 2024.

Until then, happy stamping.
