Just add Ink #51

Happy Monday!! I did a little crafting over the weekend, making a baby card for friends in our church. I used the latest Just add Ink challenge - Monochrome - and went with shades of pink - perfect for a sweet little girl.



I've used Melon Mambo & Regal Rose with some pattern paper from my stash.  The image is from Wild about You - I've inked it up in Pink, then rolled the edges into a darker pink - then I've added some Kindy Glitz to the spots!
I've used my Nesties to create the scallop circle, added some Regal Rose ribbon, a sentiment and a patchwork fabric flower.
Here's a closer look:



I have lots of crafting planned, but whether I will get to it - that's another thing.  We are enjoying warm weather and school holidays, so spending time at the beach and the kids have swimming lessons.
Til next time - happy crafting.

The Lollipop Ladies Challenge #5

Hope you are all having a fabulous week - today I have my Design Team card for the Lollipop Ladies - these challenges are flying by so quickly - it will soon be Christmas.  Speaking of which, that's the theme for this next challenge - it's all about Candy Canes - here is the inspiration picture:

 And here's my card:



Seeing as the bonus theme was Christmas, I decided to make up an early Christmas card - I went with the stripes on the candy cane and chose this pattern paper by Stampin'Up which is called Candy Lane.  I've also used the Tree Trimmings stamp set by Stampin'Up.
The tree decorations have been stamped onto cardstock, then cut out and poped up onto the circle.  I've used my Nestabilities to create the scallop circle in the Kraft cardstock.  I've added a jumbo eyelet and some Riding Hood Red tafetta ribbon.
To complete the card, I've added the sentiment 'happiness' and used the arch lattice punch by Martha Stewart along the bottom edge.
Here's a closer look:
We hope you will play along this week - pop over to the Lollipop Ladies challenge blog to get all the details - I look forward to seeing what you create.
Til next time....

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #38

Happy Friday everyone - today Inkspirations Challenges have a great colour combo for you to play with:

And here's my card:

I've gone for a very simple design today, creating four squares in each colours, adding some background stamping to each.
Wild about You by Stampin'Up is such a cute stamp set and works well for lots of different styles of cards - today I've used it as a boys card!
I've added two buttons as my embellishments, each tied with bakers twine.
Here's a closer look:

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #

Hey there, it's Friday and time for another fun challenge over at Inkspirations - these are the colours for this weeks challenge:
And here's my card:
These colours lean more towards boyish colours and seeing as it's my son Kyle's birthday this weekend, I decided to make a birthday card for him!! 
I love this set by Stampin'Up - Lots of Bots - I think he will like this card too!
The image has been stamped onto SU watercolour paper and I've used inks and aqua-painter to colour in.  Then I've used my Nested Labels 3 to cut out and did the same for the Mustard cardstock.
While I had my Cuttlebug out, I pulled out an embossing folder and used this on the Cocoa cardstock to created a textured background.  I've also used my sewing machine to add some stitching around the edges.
Then I've added some lace trim, buttons and brads to finish off the card.

It's turned out rather sweet - hope you like it too.
If you'd love to join in with this weeks challenge, head over to Makeesha's website at Inkspirations to view all the details and see her inspiration too.  By entering the challenge, you have the opportunity to be our guest designer for the following challenge.

Just add Ink - Vintage

The latest challenge over at Just Add Ink is Vintage. I LOVE this eclectic style that is right in at the moment - a bit of old, a bit of new and everything inbetween.
This is what I've created for this challenge:

I've used one of the new colours from Stampin'Up - Soft Suede and combined this with Kraft and some Pink Pirouette.  I've used the SU set I (heart) Hearts.
For a bit of vintage: I've added some lace doily trim from my Etsy store, some vintage bookprint and a ruffled heart with I've made with vintage bookprint, punched out using the SU heart punch.  I've added a Basic Grey stitched brad to the centre.
The word 'mother' is from Wonderful Favourites!
Here's a close up of the ruffled heart embellishment:

I think this card will be used for Mother's Day coming up.  Ooooh, I'm feeling a little bit organised for a change.  Thanks for poping by.

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #21

This week has really felt like a 'catch up week' for everything, kids have gone back to school and normal routines are happening again.  Not alot of stamping has been done, but I have done some very cute scrapbook pages which I will share with you next week.  Have also been making some more flowers for my Etsy store.  But for now, I will share my card for the latest Inkspiration Challenge from Makeesha.  This week, we had these fun colours to work with:
I chose to make a cute little boy card with a new Stampin'Up set I recently got - Lots of Bots.  With four boys, I know this set will get HEAPS of use.  So here's my card:

I have a base card in White, then I've added a layer of Bashful Blue and stamped the 'nuts and bolts' image onto the bottom half as a background.
I've added strips of olive and red and also some of the wide polka-dot Real Red ribbon which I've tied with some of the Hodgepodge hardware.
I've used the CM oval cutters to get the various layers of ovals.
Then I've added some paper piercing along the top.
And have you noticed - for once, not a single doily and lace trim in sight!!  It was fun to do 'simple and sweet'!!  I think this is one of those cards you could mass produce in different colours. 
Here's a closer look:


The robot image has been coloured with these Copic markers:

Hope you enjoyed seeing my inspiration for the challenge - now we would love to see what you come up with.  Head over to Makeesha's post to view the details of how you can join in and be sure to link up your creation.  She will also have a gorgeous card for you to view.

Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge #20

We've come back from camping and also visiting family up in Perth; now it's back to a quiet week at home with the kids and to enjoy the last week of school holidays.  I sat down to do my card as DT member for Inkspiration last night.  Here is the gorgeous picture we had to work with. The colours are so rich and warm; perfect for our cooler weather here:
And here's the card I came up with:

I LOVE the colours in the picture and the flower print reminded me of the SU set - Organic Outlines - so I went with that.
I've layered various cardstock in caramel and choc chip onto Very Vanilla cardstock base. 
Then I've stamped the 'leaf' image in Close to Cocoa onto the strip of Vanilla cardstock.  Onto a seperate piece, I've stamped the outline image in Choc Chip, then cut out and poped up onto the card with foam dots.  I've gently sponged the edges and then added a choc doily and brad from Basic Grey.
The sentiment is from Upsy Daisy and I've used the oval punches to cut out, added a blue rhinestone to finish off.
Here's a closer look at the details:

There are lots of ways to interpret this inspiration picture.  I'm looking forward to seeing all the entries.

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #20

Happy Friday and hope you are all doing well on this Good Friday.
Today's colours for the Inkspiration Colour Challenge are these beautiful ones:

Here's my card:
I think these colours lean towards being masculine or elegant.  I've chosen to make a 'boy card' - either for a new baby or a young boy!  And I love how it turned out!
I've used a sweet little stamp set by Stampin'Up called Forest Friends.  I've inked up a couple of the images in the different colours, then used the Labels 3 from the Nestabilities to cut out and emboss.
I've arrange some pattern paper and plain cardstock onto the base card of Very Vanilla and then added a piece of doiley lace remnant.  Check here if you love this - I have some in my Etsy store.
The sentiment is from Best Yet (SU) and I've used the circle punches to cut out, then poped it up onto a circle doiley in chocolate.  Lastly I've added a row of coloured buttons from my big pile of assorted bits.
Here's a closer look:

We'd love to see you join in with this challenge - pop over to Makeesha's post to view all the details and be sure to link your card there, so we can all see what you've created.
For more inspiration, have a look at the DT member's blogs and I'm sure they would love some nice comments:

Just add Ink Challenge #3

My sister recently had a beautiful baby boy, so I was in need of a sweet boy card!  I used the sketch from the Just add Ink Challenge #3:
Here's my card:
As you can see, I've used one of my new paper lace doilys that I showed yesterday - they are so pretty and delicate!
This is a square card which measures 13cm x 13cm in Bordering Blue cardstock.  Some stars have been stamped to make a BG.  I've layered a strip of pattern paper from Basic Grey - you can just see the little elephants along the bottom!  Then I've added a strip of Sky Blue on which I've used the Eyelet border punch.  On this is some of the striped ribbon in Pacific Point.
The elephant image is from Nursery Necessities - I've stamped him up in Pacific Point ink and then cut out, mounting onto the doily with dimensionals.  I've added a blue button with a bow in twine. 
The sentiment is from the same set and I've used the Window punch to cut this out.
And lastly I've tied a piece of twine at the end of the striped ribbon.  Here's a closer look:
I hope you like it - you can check out heaps more amazing creations at Just add Ink.  Thanks for a great sketch girls.

Card patterns - sketch 45

Card Patterns has this sketch up at the moment - check it out, it's a little bit of a tricky one.

Here's my card:

I've used mostly Stampin'Up product for this card.  The stamp set is Friends 24-7 - one of my favs.  I've used Choc Chip and Pink Pirouette colours and some of the Designer Series pattern paper.
I've stamped the bird image onto White in Choc Chip ink, then again in the Pink.  Then, I've cut out the bird and pasted over the image.
I've added some stitched ribbon and some buttons for embellishments.
Here's a closer look at some of the detail:


Today is the last day of school - kids come home at lunchtime and the later on in the day, we have been invited to school for a dinner and Christmas concert.  Should be a lovely evening.  This will mark the start of school holidays - YAY.  I hope to enjoy a more relaxed pace - though it will probably be still rather busy.  Christmas lunch to organise, hubby's birthday, swimming lessons, camping for a week........ it should be fun.  Hopefully I still get some time to stamp and share what I'm creating.  Til next time....

Christmas with Circle Circus

For this card I've used a stamp set which has nothing to do with Christmas at all!  It's Circle Circus by Stampin'Up.  My inspiration came from a window shop-front - the shape of a Christmas tree had been sprayed with white paint in the form of small circles.  It looked great and gave me an idea for a card.  So here it is:

First up, I made a mask by cutting out a triangle shape in some cardstock, to represent a Christmas tree.  I've placed the mask onto Confetti White cardstock and then used one of the images from Circle Circus, inked with Baja Breeze, and stamped into the triangle space.  Then I've lightly sponged the edges in Baja Breeze. Once the mask is removed, you are left with the Christmas tree shape.  I've decorated with some buttons that co-ordinate well with the Ski Slope DP from Stampin'Up and also a bow in blue spotted ribbon.
The sentiment is from Best Yet, and I've used the Oval Scallop punch and three red rhinestones to 'bling' it up.


Product used:
Stamps: Circle Circus, Best Yet
Cardstock: Confetti White, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Ski Slope DP
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze
Others: Oval punch, Oval scallop punch, ribbon, buttons bouquet (SU), Martha Stewart punch

Friday time = Challenge Time.  It's that fun time of week again when you get to see Makeesha's latest challenge and view all the Design Team creations.  This week it's an Inspiration Challenge - check out this gorgeous girly bedroom.

Here's my creation:

My inspiration came from the stripes in the bedding and the pretty girly colours.  I LOVE this stamp set from Stampin'Up - A Kind Word and so I've used one of the images for my card.
I've started off with a base card in Celery, then a layer of Regal Rose, then some DP from Spring Fling.
The main image has been stamped in black memento ink onto white cardstock and then I've used my Copics to colour in.  I've stamped the little sentiment onto cardstock and used SU punches to cut out, then added to my card with dimensionals.  I've completed the card with a bow'n'button and some small pink rhinestones.

I've made a card for the latest challenge from Bec at Creatalicious Challenges.  The challenge is to create a card using scraps of Designer Paper, new cardstock and a handmade flower!  So here's my creation:


I've used Gretal, one of the sweet Swiss Pixies stamps.
I've teamed this up with coloured cardstock - Choc Chip, Close to Cocoa and Rose Red; then added some DP from Rasberry Tart which was in my left-over basket. 
For the main image, I've stamped onto white cardstock in Stazon black, then coloured with ink pads and aqua painters.  I've added dimensional magic to the wings!
The handmade flower embellisment has been made with fabric, felt and some of the wide double-stitched SU ribbon in Rose Red.  I've added a button and twine to the centre.
The sentiment is from Best Yet (hostess set) and I've added some So Saffron ribbon to complete the card.

I love to incorporate fabric into my creations, so this was a fun challenge to do.  Thanks Bec!!

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #15

I'm back after a lovely break and holiday in Bali with our boys.  It was a real treat to spend some time just relaxing, eating out, sun-baking and enjoying each others company.  Now it's back into normal routines again; always a little hard after doing 'nothing' for a week. 
So here's this weeks challenge from Makeesha.  We had these lovely 'earth' colours to work with:


And here's my creation:


I've made up this small card using the Organics Outlines stamp set, one of my favourites. 
I've started off with a base card in the Close to Cocoa, then added layers in each of the colours - Rust, Choc and Vanilla.  Onto the Vanilla cardstock, I've stamped up one of the images in Choc Chip and Rust ink.  Then I've added a strip of Choc cardstock onto which I've used the Eyelet border punch.  Then sentiment is from Best Yet (hostess set) and I've used various punches to cut out.  Then I've added a small crochet flower with a half pearl.
I found some lace doilies and table clothes this past week at one of the local op-shops.  If you've seen them, you will notice they have crocheted flowers on them.  So I've been busy cutting them out to use on my craft projects.  I think they are just gorgeous.


Product used:
Stamps: Organic Outlines, Best Yet
Cardstock: Really Rust, Close to Cocoa, Choc Chip, Very Vanilla
Ink: Choc Chip, Really Rust
Others: Crochet flower, half pearl, eyelet border punch, SU punches

I couldn't leave this challenge with just a small card, so I've also made up this 8x8 scrapbook layout, with this super cute photo of my Caden.  The photo was a perfect match for these colours!

For this page, I've used the Wild about You stamp set.  It's such a great set to use for boys.  I've stamped them onto Vanilla cardstock, cut out then mounted with dimensionals.
You will notice another lace doily - this one has been dyed in coffee - delicious.  It adds such great texture to the page. I've also used some twine and stamped the 'wild about you' sentiment on it in Choc Chip.  Then I've added a small button with some twine.
The final embellisment is a heart using the heart SU punch.  I've added some buttons, the bird image from the same stamp set and a little paper clip with twine.
Here's a closer look:


Product used:
Stamps: Wild about you, Sprinkles
Cardstock: Choc Chip, Really Rust, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, Ski Slope DP
Ink: Choc Chip, Really Rust, Close to Cocoa
Others: Twine, Twill, Buttons, Lace Doily, Heart punch SU, dimensionals, Mat pack, Clips assortments
So I hope you love what I've come up with this week.  I enjoyed creating once again.  If you'd love to join in with this challenge, pop over to Makeesha's website to find all the details and more inspiration.

And here's my creation:

Oh this sketch was so much fun.  I've used this sweet cupcake image - doesn't it look so pretty in pink!
Well, I've started out with a base card in Pretty in Pink - this card measures 5.5" square.
Then I've layered on some DP from Candy Lane.  I've also added some strips as per the sketch with the same DP and also Riding Hood Red.
Next up, I've stamped up the image in Black Stazon, onto Watercolour paper, then used my SU markers and aqua painter to colour in. I've layered this onto a circle of Pretty in Pink.
I've used some striped Pink Pirouette ribbon, buttons and a rub-on for the sentiment.  The rub-on is from the Hand-drawn bundle which is a Level 3 Hostess set. I love that saying!
Lastly I've added some rows of paper piercing.
I just LOVE all the pink in this card - will be perfect for a little girl!

Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge #14

Another Friday is here - hope you've all had a lovely week.  I have been busy packing, we leave today for a holiday with our boys.  So hopefully this scheduled post is coming to you!
It's time for another fabulous Inspiration Challenge and Makeesha has picked out this gorgeous bedding to help you get inspired.  It looks so beachy and summery, don't you think!


Here's my creation:

I've used the quilt cover has my inspiration and I'm sure that somewhere in the house, there will be a row beach thongs!
So I've started with a base card in Whisper White, then layered various cardstocks in Bashful Blue, Taken with Teal, Certain Celery and Basic Grey, to imitate the quilt cover pattern.  I've used the Sprinkles stamp set on the Teal and Blue strips.
For the main image, I've used Just Beachy, and picked out the beach thongs.  I've inked up in Stazon Black, stamped onto some watercolour paper and then used the Aqua painter and ink pads to colour them in.  I've added a small rhinestone to the pair in the middle.
Then I've added some wide Celery ribbon, tied in a knot.  The sentiment has been stamped in Teal and I've used the Window punch and a small rhinestone to complete it.

All things pretty

Here's a scrapbook page made with all things pretty - namely, fabric, lace and buttons.
I've used this sweet picture of Amber, all dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood.

I chose to use Riding Hood Red cardstock as the base, seeing as the photo had lots of red as well.  To create contrast, I've layered some fabric and lace to one side of the layout, then added the photo.  I've used Tidy Alphabet for the title.  And I've printed out some journalling and matted onto some Mellow Moss cardstock.  Both of these pieces have been crumpled up, to give a textured look.
I've used my little craft sewing machine to add some stitching across the top of the layout.  Though it didn't really co-operate with the layers, so it does have a rather messy look!!
I've added the large flower embellisment next to the photo and also used the Trio Flower punch to make up three smaller flowers for brads in the centre.

Well let me know what you think of my fabric scrapbooking.  There's something about having texture on a page and I love to explore the various styles in my scrapbooking world.

This will be my last post for a week or so, though I do have a few scheduled posts for the DT challenges.  We are going on holidays with the boys and I'm really looking forward to this special treat; to just relax and have some fun in the sun.  So til next time....

Product used:
Stamps: Tidy Alphabet (retired)
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Mellow Moss, Kraft, White copy paper
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Others: Sprial punch, Trio Flower punch, fabric flower, brads, fabric, lace, dimensionals.

To be inspired...............

I created this card after I saw a BEAUTIFUL card made by the lovely Lee-Anne. Her work is always gorgeous and I'm always inspired by her creations.  I LOVED this one so much, that I just had to CASE it, immediately.  I remembered the Top-Note die-cuts I had sitting on my desk, given to me by my friend Marion, so I thought one of these would work perfectly.
So here is the card I made after being inspired...............

I've used the colours Bordering Blue, Kiwi Kiss, Very Vanilla and some Urban Garden Designer paper.  You can see the Top-Note die-cut peaking out on the left-hand side of the card - oh how I wish Stampin'Up would sell them here in Australia!
The flower image is from a hostess stamp set of last years catalogue - Oh So Lovely. These are such elegant images and fun to colour-in.  I've used the Best Yet (hostess set) for the sentiment . 
The eyelet border punch has been used along the bottom and I think it really suits the style of this card - that being 'elegantly vintage'.
I had some lace ribbon in my stash so I've used this with a Kiwi Kiss button to finish off the card.

I'm so pleased with this card.  It's not often that I CASE a card - most of the time, they don't quite work out how I planned. So thank you Lee-Anne for your inspiration.

Product used:
Stamps: Oh So Lovely, Best Yet
Cardstock: Bordering Blue, Kiwi Kiss, Very Vanilla, DP Urban Garden
Ink: Stazon Black, Bordering Blue, Kiwi Kiss
Others: Top-Note die-cut, lace, button, circle punches, eyelet border punch, sponging

Mojo Monday Sketch #109

Here's a card I made for the Mojo Monday Sketch #109.  Below is the sketch we had to work with and you can check out all the details at the Mojo Monday Sketch Blog

And here's my creation:


I've picked out another colour combo that I wouldn't normally use, but it worked well.
I've started off with a base card in Tempting Turquoise, then added pieces of Riding Hood Red and Regal Rose as per the sketch.  Along the bottom of the Red cardstock, I've stamped the flourish image in Versamark.
For the main image, I've used the stamp set Friends 24-7 and I've gone with the bird image.  First I've stamped in onto some Whisper White cardstock in Sahara Sand ink.  Then on another piece of white cardstock, I've inked up the bird with Turquiose and Red.  I did this with a baby-wipe, allowing the ink to soak into the baby-wipe, then dabbing it onto the stamp.  Once stamped onto the white cardstock, it gives a nice watercolour effect.  The bird image has been cut out and mounted onto the card layout. I've matted this onto some Turquoise cardstock and a small piece of Designer Series Patterned Paper in the Riding Hood Red.  Here is a closer look at the bird:

To finish off the card as per the sketch, I've stamped up a part of the sentiment and used the circle punches and scallop punch to create the centre embellisment.  I've also added a small button with some twine.  Lastly, I've used some wide Regal Rose ribbon .

Well, this was a fun sketch and I would love to use it again, maybe for some scrapbooking.

Product used:
Stamps: Friends 24-7
Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise, Riding Hood Red, Regal Rose, Whisper White, DP Riding Hood Red
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Sahara Sand, Tempting Turquoise
Others: Cutter kit for distressing, circle punches, scallop punch, grograin ribbon, twine, button dimensionals, sponging.
