TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE #138

The colours for this challenge are just soooooo gorgeous. What do you think?

May be an image of bird, nature and text that says '/sRATIN SPIRATION CHALLENGES #138 Daffodil Delight Granny Apple Green Tahitian Tide Highland Heather'

For my card I wanted to use some of the new products from the January – April Mini Catalogue and an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product suite that is available to customers from March 1. Unfortunately, I think I used a retired embossing folder – oops.

EDIT – The embossing folder is a NEW one! It is one of the new Online Exclusive Products available from the Online Store now. This is one of three embossing folders that are part of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (161598) – $53AUD.

I started by stamping the large heart image from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and cutting them out using the coordinating Country Bouquet Punch.

After attaching some Adhesive Sheet to the back of a length of Granny Apple Green cardstock I cut the ‘dots and dashes’ design using the Irresistible Blooms Dies.

The backing from the adhesive sheet was pulled away from the cardstock so it could be secured on the Basic White cardstock. This piece was then embossed.

I layered the embossed card over a piece of Tahitian Tide and then secured it to the card front at an angle.

The hearts were thenpopped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, was stamped and length of Tahitian Tide Metallic Woven Ribbon was looped behind it.

Make sure you head over to Facebook and the Colour INKspiration Challenge page to see the team projects. We hope you decide to join us in this challenge.

Until next time, happy stamping.

THE LAST OF THE SALE-A-BRATION PRODUCTS

The FREE products in the 2023 JANUARY – FEBRUARY SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE are only available until the end of this month or as long as stocks last.

This project uses the last two products that I haven’t shared with you yet.

The first is the of these is the HOST SET.

Anytime you spend $500 or more, during Sale-a-bration, the exclusive host stamp set is included for FREE!

This stamp set is perfect for creating a variety of peaceful scenes. Fortunately, there is a stamp set in the same brochure that only has sentiments. I thought they would work together so well.

The SENDING SUPPORT CLING STAMP SET covers a range of different situations that you would send a card for. I think the “SOME DAYS ARE harder THAN OTHERS” sentiment is especially versatile.

I chose a simple black and white palette for this card.

The park bench image from the SCENIC GARDEN STAMP SET was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and my Stamparatus to create a crisp image.

Then I repeated the stamping process but using Versamark and black Basics Stampin’ Emboss™ Powders. After heat embossing the powder I used one of the Layering Circles Dies to cut the focal point for this card.

Between the two stamped images, I added a folded length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

The sentiment was also stamped, heat embossed, trimmed and popped up using Black Dimensionals.

The same park bench was stamped on the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I will have some news to share with you. Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can place your order with me.

THANKS A BUNCH – OF CARROTS!

One of the things I like about Sale-a-bration is that anyone who places a qualifying order earns a “thanks” from Stampin’ Up! – one of the FREE products that is available, while stocks last.

One of these products is the THANKS A BUNCH PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET.

THANKS A BUNCH PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

I started by stamping the small trio of carrots on a piece of Basic White in Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry and finished them off with Old Olive fronds.

The largest carrot has two stamps so that two different colours can be used to achieve the stripes. After I fussy cut the carrots I layered them over each other. The fronds were stamped several times and fussy cut to give the Linen Thread bow somewhere to go.

Another amazing product in the Sale-a-bration Brochure is the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. There are 48 sheets in one FREE pack – you can order it this month with a qualifying $180 order. Sale-a-bration items are available while stock lasts.

I cut three small squares from the DSP bundle to adhere to the card front.

The Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots were the perfect way to embellish the card.

Tomorrow I have a project to share with you that use the last two products in the Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Unyil then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of these products through me.
