InspireInk Blog Hop June 2024 – Theme: What’s on your desk.

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is What’s on your Desk. When I came to my desk this morning these two stamp sets were on my desk. i had used the Chantilly Lace set yesterday and Cutest Onesie was on my desk as it hadn’t yet been inked. I have just found out that my hairdresser has just had a baby on friday which was my birthday! So of course a card is required.

I stamped the lace stamp on a scrap of Basic White with Pretty in Pink, then I stamped the onesie over this with Basic Grey. I used the die for the onesie to cut it out and I also cut a tiny coathanger. The onesie die cuts a wee slit so that the coat hanger slips in.

InspireInk Blog Hop September 2023 – Color Challenge! Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is a colour challenge. The colours are Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black.

This colour palette says Halloween to me but I don’t really do Halloween now. So I put my thinking cap on!

 

This is my favourite type of card to make – ink blending and black sillhouette stamping or die cuts. I love trees so making this card made me happy. I used the Forever Forest bundle.

When I was finished I was about to photograph it but i could hear my Dad’s voice saying ‘ there’s bears in them thar hills’ so of course I pulled out my Beary Cute punch and sneeked in a Black Bear for a fun twist. A little touch of wink of stella gave him a nose and an eye sparkling in the moonlight. I didn’t film this but I have many videos on my You Tube channel showing this style of card.

InspireInk Blog Hop August 2023 – Memories.

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Memories.

 

Here’s what I came up with. I am still sorting through Mum’s belongings since she passed away last June. There are so many photographs to sort and share out among the family. These were among the pile with me in. I haven’t made a scrapbook page since lockdown so when I saw our theme is memories I decided now was the right time to get another one done.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s Memories projects.
