Colour INKspiration 72 #CI72

Welcome to Colour Inkspiration!

What is Colour INKspiraton? – a Facebook based bi-monthly colour challenge.

Anyone with Facebook can join in.  You don’t need a blog and you don’t need to be a demonstrator.

I have joined in these challenges and love them as Colour challenges for me are actually a real challenge.

 Click here to join the Facebook page which now has over 2000 members and see what it’s all about.

Here’s some of the basic details about the challenge –

The Colour INKspiration Crew! consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches.

Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a post on their blogs.

Then you have a 12 day period to upload your own creations using the colours provided.

If you have a blog, feel free to link back to it, but all entries will be via Facebook.  The design team will select 5 projects to be ‘design team picks’ and then the Facebook group will select an overall winner from this shortlist.

I love these bold colours!

Stampin' Fancy Friday February Challenge

This months Challenge is Shaker Cards which is perfect as my Sons teacher was married on the weekend and here is the card I made for her. 

The card is called a pop up slider/shaker card.

It folds down flat for posting and is so much prettier in real life. 

She received it Tuesday and said she loved it!

Global Design Project 227 #GDP227

This weeks challenge is 

Straight away I had an idea with this but it has nearly taken me the whole week to make it!

The Fold is called a Pop Up adapted Easel Card and the base of the cards instructions were made by Lou Kitzleman.

Really pretty, not hard and I will most definitely be making more of these cute cards!

They even fold flat to go into an envelope. 

This particular card is slightly longer than a C6 envelope but I can fit it into a C5 or a DL size envelope.

• Stamps: Daisy Lane, Happy Birthday to You and Painted Harvest
• Ink: Memento, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody
• Card: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Flirty Flamingo
• Tools: Rectangle Stitched Dies and Stone & Coastal Weave Embossing Folders with a Die Cutting Machine as well as the Medium Daisy and Leaf Punches
• Embellishments: Dimensionals & Clear Faceted Gems
