Touches of Ink Hop July 2025 – Perfectly Pears Bundle

 

Welcome to my blog – I’m glad to have you here.

I’m hopping today with Touches of Ink – a lovely group of demonstrators. We have free choice of what we showcase in this Bloghop. So this week I have been playing with the Perfectly Pears Bundle

 

During my live YouTube video on Sunday I used a piece of basic white card to mop up some left over ink and water from my glass mat. So today I cut a panel from it and used it to stamp on for today’s card. The perfectly Pears stamp set is so much fun to stamp with as the filler stamps are distinctive and give a water colour look. I will be demonstrating how I made this card very soon on my Youtube channel so make sure you are subscribed to get notified when i do.

Welcome to my blog – I’m glad to have you here.

I’m hopping today with Touches of Ink – a lovely group of demonstrators. We have free choice of what we showcase in this Bloghop. Today I wanted to do some ink blending and emboss resist technique with the new in colours. So I made a pattern with Tiled Techniques stamp set.

InspireInk Blog Hop November 2024 – Theme: Festive

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

So I have made a very sparkly card in traditional Christmas Colours.  I have used the Reindeer Fun dies but not a Reindeer in sight.

 

I have found this card very hard to photograph due to all the sparkle.

The sentiment is from Merriest Trees stamp set and the banner is from Peaceful season bundle.

AUTUMN TO REMEMBER SCRAPBOOKING WORKSHOP KIT

Welcome to my blog – I’m glad to have you here.

I’m hopping today with Touches of Ink – a lovely group of demonstrators. We have free choice of what we showcase in this Bloghop so I thought I’d show you what I did when i got the chance to explore the Autumn to Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. I was at a team retreat in September and we were given some of the new scrapbooking kits to explore. I shared the kit with two other demonstrators so i did one layout following the workshop guide and then i did 1 layout free style.

This kit is huge and has enough product in it to make 3 double page layouts and then some!

I enjoyed playing with this kit so much that I have ordered the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit so watch this space!

InspireInk Blog Hop October 2024 – Theme: 3D

Happy Saturday! Welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is 3D. My exploding box is inspired by Karen from tilley Krafts.

Karen’s box is larger than mine. I messed about with the measurements so that the base of each box is one piece.

The smallest box has room for a chocolate.

InspireInk Blog Hop September 2024 – Theme: Halloween

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

 

So the theme this month is Halloween. I had to think out of the box as I don’t have any Halloween stamp sets. It is fun to look at the sets you already have and build a spooky scene.

I made an inky background using a circle mask to make the moon with blending brush and Night of Navy ink. Next I added some clouds from Under the moon stamp set, the tree dies are from frosted forest die set, the stamped trees are from Grassy Grove stamp set the spooky house is from Humble Home bundle.
