Just Add Ink 551 #JAI551

 



Just Add Ink Challenge #551

This weeks challenge is Just add 3D



YIPPEEE!! 3D is my jam!!

I recently had a friends 40th and I made her this super, super special card. 
(She is a super, super special person)






What is special about this is that this card does fold flat for posting. 
The little bag/ purse in the middle can open up and you can place money or a gift voucher inside.

If you wish to make one for yourself I got the tutorial from fellow demo - Lou Kitzelman and it can be found here.

I will most definitely be making more it is such a clever card!

Colour INKspiration 97 #CI97

 


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 2300 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 wasn’t entirely happy with the end result but at least I made something which lately I just haven’t had the time. 




I can't wait to see what you come up with! 
Remember to upload your cards to our facebook group here!

  • Stamps: Pretty Perennials
  • Ink: Memento, Rococo Rose, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry
  • Card: Basic White, Basic Black, Rococo Rose and Silver Foil
  • Tools: Perennial Petals & Hippo and Friends Dies with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Blending Brush and black pen 
  • Embellishments: - Dimensionals, Matt Black Dots

There was hardly any stamping on this card (besides the sentiment) it is all the gorgeous Designer Series Paper and the shells have been fussy cut out of it!

  • Ink: Versamark
  • Card: Basic White, Basic Black, Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray and Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper
  • Tools: Seashells Embossing Folder and Stitched Shapes Dies with a Cut Stampin' Emboss Machine and White Embossing Powder with a Heat Tool
