Social Stamping - Rainbow

Hello and welcome to the second Social Stamping Blog Hop with so many talented crafters around the world joining in.

My friend Kelly Kent is the mastermind behind this and she put the group together to share our creations in a time where we are all social distancing and many are in isolation. It is a very unnerving time for a lot of people as some have medical issues and loved ones who are compromised and can not afford to get ill. Creating is my sanity at the moment as I am a pretty social person and not being able to meet friends just at the coffee shop or have a card class is really hard.

So here is the next theme that Kelly has set for us and it is "Rainbow"

You have come from the gorgeous Mandy's page

Rainbow to me screams Pigment Inks!!

I love these as messy as they are they are so bright and colourful. 

I am trying to make and get out as many cards as I can while home.

Tip - the sentiment was punched with the Label me Fancy punch which I slid it so it punched a bit smaller than the original punch size, I think it worked well and looks totally different to the original shape. 

• Stamps: Ornate Style & Heres a Card
• Ink: Versamark
• Card: Watercolour & Basic Black
• Tools: Clear and White Embossing Powder & Heat Tool, Pigment Sprinkles, Label me Fancy Punch, Butterfly Beauty Thinlets Dies & Ornate Borders Dies with a Die cutting/Embossing Machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals 

I know that Kel based this theme on the rainbow trail here is what my kiddies did the first week staying at home...

Jump on over to the talented Sharni to see what amazingness she has done this week!

Colour INKspiration 75 #CI75

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 have had a month time out from Colour Inkspiration to reset for a bit. Life as we know it has drastically changed for all of us and I just needed a little time out. I actually have only made a total of two cards in the last 4 weeks. That is bad for me....

These colours are nice and bright and cheery and I thought yes I need this!
Challenge accepted.

I asked my daughter what stampset to use and she said that the colours reminded her of pineapples....

I love these bright colours and they all go so well together, it is on it's way to a very dear friend of mine.

• Stamps: Timeless Tropical
• Ink: Melon Mambo and Call Me Clover Stampin' write markers
• Card: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Call Me Clover and Gorgeous Grape
• Tools: In the Tropics Dies & Coastal Weave Embossing Folder with a die cutting/ embossing machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals, Pretty Peacock Rhinestones & Braded Burlap Ribbon

Global Design Project 234 #GDP234

This weeks challenge is a sketch

It's my hubby's birthday tomorrow...

I pulled out the Clubhouse Bundle to make this and went a little different to the shapes in the sketch. They are all in the same places though.

I find it difficult to make male themed cards but because everything matches so perfectly this card came together quite easily.

• Stamps: Clubhouse
• Ink: Memento & Night of Navy
• Card: Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Garden Green and Country Club Designer Series Paper
• Tools: Mango Melody, Smokey Slate, Night of Navy, Ivory, Old Olive, Colour Lifter and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends, Classic Label Punch, Golf Club Dies & Absolutely Argyle Embossing Folder with a Die Cutting Machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals & Country Club Twine
