Touches of Ink Bloghop May 2024 with Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes 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. My bundle today is Thoughful Wishes from the new Annual Catalogue. It has everything you need to make beautiful projects.

I really enjoyed making this card

On a Basic White card base I stamped randomly with the little splatter stamp in Petunia Pop and Wild Wheat.

I die cut the large flourish from a scrap of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper and stuck this over the splatter stamping

I stamped the large leaves with pebbled path  on Basic White and coloured with light Wild Wheat and light Granny Apple Green Blends

I die cut this and 2 of the little flower dies

I also die cut the banner from Stylish Shapes , stamped the sentiment on the right of this.

I stuck the leaves on the left of the banner and stuck this to the card with dimensionals

I coloured the little flowers with Petunia Pop and Granny Apple Green Blends and tucked them in amongst the leaves

I painted wink of stella on the leaves then splattered the whole card with wink of stella.

I finished the card with a few 2024 – 2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems

InspireInk Blog Hop April 2024 – Theme: Floral

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Floral so I’ve made a simple stamping floral card.

 

I am giving you a sneak peek at a new stamp set from the 2024 annual Catalogue which will launch to customers on 1st of May.

 

The stamp set is called Thoughtful wishes and i particularly like the thistle image. I used Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green Stamp Write Markers to colour the stamp and lightly blended the new colour summer splash. and a blending brush. the moon was masked with a punched post it note.

Touches of Ink Bloghop March 2024 with Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnias 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. My bundle today is Simply Zinnias from the Online Exclusives. It has everything you need to make fun, colourful floral projects.

I applied Memento Tuxedo Black ink to the Simply Zinnias embossing folder before adding a square of Basic White cardstock and running it through the cut and embossing machine. I trimmed off a panel for the first card. Then, I brushed some Lemon Lime Twist ink over the remaining strip and used it for the second card. I adhered it over a layer of Basic White cardstock onto which I had previously stamped some zinnias.

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.
