Papercraft Crew 404 #PCC404

I have had my pre-order for the new upcoming catalogue arrive and I was itching to find a challenge to have a play with it.

My prize patrol from our recent On Stage conference was the gorgeous Always in My Heart Stampset. I grabbed the dies, ribbon and papers to go with it and created this card.

My Gosh the pink foils in this suite are stunning! I stamped off the leaves and the flower image and did tone on tone stamping. The ribbon is behind the sentiment but ruffled to add a bit of texture along with the subtle folder in the very background.

• Stamps: Always in My Heart
• Ink: Versamark, Granny Apple Green and Rococo Rose
• Card: Whisper White, Basic Black and Love You Always Foil Sheets
• Tools: Floral Heart Dies and Subtle Embossing folder with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine & White embossing powder and a heat tool 
• Embellishments: Dimensionals & Elegant Faceted Gems

This is what I made.... with a set I fell in love with but had not inked yet!!

Colour INKspiration 90 #CI90

 

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.

Such a pretty colour combo this fortnight. 

I decided to use the picture as inspiration as well so I used my coming home bundle.

The background is brayered with the Petal Pink, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock.

My piece of neutral cardstock that I used was Crumb Cake for the ground and the colouring of house was with Stampin' Blends.

• Stamps: Coming Home & Itty Bitty Christmas
• Ink: Memento, Pretty Peacock, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party
• Card: Shimmery White, Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Pretty Peacock
• Tools: Home Together Dies and Subtle Embossing Folder with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Embellishments: - Dimensionals

CAS(E) this Sketch #CTS399

 CAS(E) this Sketch.

What a great sketch for my creation this week.

One of my class girls asked if we could do a male themed card this week for class so I grabbed my Beautiful World set (which actually hadn't been inked!) and made this card.

I really love all the textures in this card. 

The background was made with the globes stamp from the set, stamped tone on tone with the Early Espresson randomly over the background. The cream piece is just embossed with the Old World Paper embossing folder and the cinnamon cider strip embossed with a die from the world map dies and finished off with a little sponge daubing around the edges.

A few dimensionals to pop up the globe and sentiment and its finished.

• Stampset: Beautiful World and Itty Bitty Birthdays
• Ink: Early Espresso and Cinnamon Cider
• Card: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cinnamon Cider, Balmy Blue & Brass Foil
• Tools: World Map Dies as well as Old World Paper Embossing folder with a Stamp & Emboss Machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches #FMS462 and Colour Throwdown #CTD620

 This week over at Freshly Made Sketches is a funky sketch.

and a colour challenge over at

To me these colours are close to being Rich Razzleberry, Balmy Blue and Sahara Sand so here is the card that I made with the two combined challenges.

I still had my floating and Fluttering Stampset on my craft table so I decided to use it again this week on this challenge.

Using a textured background embossing folder it just adds that little bit more to the card rather than a flat looking background.

With a sponge dauber I lightly rubbed the Rich Razzleberry ink around the three squares to define them from each other.

• Stampset: Floating and Fluttering and Itty Bitty Greetings
• Ink: Memento & Rich Razzleberry
• Card: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry and Sahara Sand
• Tools: Fluttering and Ornate Frames Dies as well as Painted Texture & Subtle Embossing folders with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine & Light and Dark Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends and a sponge dauber
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals & Wink of Stella

Color Throwdown

CAS Colours and Sketches 397 & TGIF #TGIF290

CAS Colours and Sketches has a beautiful colour combo this week.

and teamed up with the gorgeous sketch from TGIF Challenges

I then combined the two to come up with this card.

The combination of the Blackberry light and dark Stampin' Blends along with the Purple Posy light and dark Stampin' Blends, blended together so nicely on these cute little Butterflies that are coming very soon!

I went away from the oval and used a heart instead to be a little different but still keeping within the challenge guidelines. I love how you can combine new and old products together to still get an amazing but still fairly simple project.

• Stampset: Floating and Fluttering and Art Gallery
• Ink: Memento & Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Purple Posy, Blackberry Bliss and Basic Grey
• Tools: Potted Succulents, Stitched Hearts & Fluttering Dies as well as Brick and Mortar Embossing folder with a Stamp & Emboss Machine, White Embossing Powder with a Heat Tool, Blackberry Bliss, Purple Posy and Smokey Slate Stampin' Blends
• Embellishments: Dimensionals, Iridescent Pearls & Wink of Stella
