Just Add Ink Challenge #529

This weeks challenge is a colour challenge

I took these colours along to a crafting retreat weekend to come up with something. I didn't even look at what the design team had made and I came up with this card.

Sadly I lost my mum to terminal lung cancer two weeks ago and I have struggled as we talked on the phone or text every day. I am going to miss her so badly and my heart is broken into a million pieces.

While she was in hospice there was a lovely volunteer lady named Jan who I sobbed to, the day mum was to pass away. I have made her this card to say thankyou for being so kind and compassionate to me. 

I used the silver foil and run the lace die through the Stampin' Emboss machine without the second plate and I placed a rubber mat under the die so it would only leave the impression rather than cut through.

The Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight I have stamped off to get the depth of the colours in the flowers and leaves.

• Stamps: All Things Fabulous and Dragonfly Garden (coming soon)
  
• Ink: - Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight
• Card: Whisper White, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight and Silver Foil
• Tools: Fabulous Florals and Stitched So Sweetly Dies as well as Subtle Embossing Folder with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Paper Craft Crew 399 #PCC399

I saw this sketch this week and I was already playing with my Whale Suite so I thought I could use it here as well.

It came up really cute.

A little bit of fussy cutting for the turtle from the DSP and a mask made with the reed die from Smooth Sailing along with a little shimmery embossing paste has really set this card off.

• Stamps: Zany Zebras
• Ink: Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pretty Peacock and Whale of a Time DSP
• Tools: Stitched Triangle and Smooth Sailing Dies with a Die Cutting Machine, White embossing powder and a heat tool and Shimmery White Embossing Paste with Pool Party re-inker
• Embellishments: Dimensionals

CAS Colours and Sketches 394

CAS Colours and Sketches this week is a nice simple sketch challenge.

I made a mistake on a card over the weekend and I couldn't bare to waste the cardstock so I turned it into this Christmas Card.

I had made a background with Shimmery Embossing Paste mixed with Pretty Peacock reinker and didn't like it at all so I took the mini Christmas tree from the Home Together Dies and cut out the 9 background trees for this card. 

A nice clean and simple card.

• Stampset: Snowman Season
• Ink: Pretty Peacock
• Card: Whisper White, Pretty Peacock & Vellum
• Tools: Home Together Dies with a Die Cutting Machine and Shimmer Embossing Paste with Pretty Peacock re-inker
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches 459 #FMS459

 This week I found a great sketch with Freshly Made Sketches and as I was away on a craft retreat weekend I made the card below with the sketch.

I thought about it quite a bit and thought that the two triangle panels on this sketch could be the opening on the card.

Fully Open with the panel to write on inside.

I came up with this idea quite quickly and laid it all out on top of the card base. It just worked, sometimes things just look good together but it helps when there is gorgeous DSP to work with.

• Stampset: Zany Zebras
• Ink: Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Pacific Point and Whale of a Time DSP
• Tools: Smooth Sailing Dies with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine & White Embossing Powder with a Heat tool
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Colour INKspiration 87 #CI87

 

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 2200 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.

Just a quick card for me today as I am still unpacking and trying to get sorted after our holiday.

I made a semi open front on this card to give some dimension and it is a sneak peak of an upcoming bundle available next month!

The sentiment is actually stamped inside the card.

By cutting in all the colours above and placing the smaller leaves back into the original panel it adds some depth to the swirly panel.

• Stamps: Quite Curvy
• Ink: Pumpkin Pie
• Card: Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody and Sahara Sand
• Tools: Stitched Rectangle and Curvy Dies with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Embellishments: - 

The Dimensionals - Animals

 

Welcome to my blog and to The Dimensionals tutorials. 

We’re a group of Stamping Friends who offer 3D Paper Craft Tutorials on the 1st day of every month! 

I am so super excited to be a part of a group of such talented ladies and I pinch myself on how I got here.......

The theme for this month is Animals! 

I just had to get my Hippo Birthday set out to make another great kids card!

It opens to a spinner/shaker card inside.

This one is called my Unicorn  Double Spinner/ Shaker Card.

It took me a bit of nutting out to get the placement correct but with our stitched rectangle dies it made it so much easier!

Now if you go to check out Bronwyn's card and I know you will be amazed (as always!)
