Hello, and welcome to my blog!
You have joined in with the Just Add Ink Design Team Blog Hop, 
and our Theme for this Challenge is, 'Just Add an Easel'.
We have each created different styles of easel cards, and I know you are going to love what you are going to see.


Join in the fun of our Challenge, and add your project to our Just Add Ink gallery here.


I have made a very simple easel card, and I have used the 'Sending You Thoughts' stamp set and 'Sending Flowers Dies' - from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

I started out with 'Smoky Slate' cardstock, for my easel card.
Adding lovely 'Subtle' colours for my darling flowers, and some gorgeous 'Smoky Slate' gingham from the 'Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper' for the card front.

'Congratulations'
A sweet sentiment from the 'Sending You Thoughts' SAB stamp set.

I am loving the 'Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon! A lovely little addition to my card.
All done, and all folded up ready to send.

Make your own easel card! You get 2 from 1 piece of cardstock.
Measurements:
10.5cm x 29.5cm, and score at 9.5cm & 19.5cm.
4-1/4" x 11", and score at 3-3/4" & 7-1/2".

Thankyou so much for paying me a visit. Be sure to visit the JAI Design Teams blogs for lots of 'Easel card' inspiration, and don't forget to join in the fun of our Challenge.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Peaceful Poppies Suite

19:00
Hello, and welcome to my blog.
The Stamping Sunday Design Team are featuring the delightful 'Peaceful Poppies Suite', from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalogue.


You may have joined me from Danielle, from the Netherlands, and now you are in Australia with me. Enjoy the hop, and we hope to inspire you with our creations...

The Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle includes:
* Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* Painted Labels Dies (10% off)
* Poppy Moments Dies (10% off)
* Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper
* Peaceful Poppies Sequins
* Whisper White 1/4" (6.4 mm) Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
* Peaceful Poppies Elements

I absolutely love the 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper', and I started out by cutting down this lovely piece of the watercoloured poppies!
I embossed the DSP using the 'Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, by running it through my Die cutting & Embossing Machine.


'Happy Birthday'
The sentiment is from the 'Peaceful Moments' stamp set, and the doily-style die cut image is from the 'Painted Labels Dies'.
How sweet is the 'Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon'? - did you know you can colour the ribbon with 'Stampin' Blends Markers'? Brilliant!


Scattered throughout the DSP are 5 flower shaped sequins, from the 'Peaceful Poppies Sequins' in 'Light Poppy Parade'.


I have created a 'Moments 2020' type diary/monthly journal, using a basic notebook covered with the delightful DSP.
The notebook had a Kraft cover, and I needed some 'Poppy Parade' cardstock to add some colour to the spine.
*The 2020 is from a retired stamp set 'Labeler Alphabet'.


I have used a 'Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker' to colour the 'Moments' sentiment, and stamped onto 'Whisper White' cardstock.
Die cut using a 'Stitched Rectangle Die'.
I have 'stamped off' the Poppy image using 'Smoky Slate' ink. 
'Stamp off' the ink onto scrap paper, then stamp the second image of the poppy onto the sentiment.
Add a layer of 'Poppy Parade' cardstock underneath the sentiment.

I have added 12 mini tabs to the pages of the notebook.
There are 12 tabs in total, and I made them using cardstock and the '1/2" Circle Punch'.
Take 1" x 8" or 2.5cm x 20cm of 'Poppy Parade' cardstock.
Score the cardstock through the middle at 1/2" or 1.25cm.
Line up the score line in the middle of the circle Punch, and punch your little circles.
Fold the circles in half, and burnish with a 'Bone Folder'.
Adhere the tabs onto the pages of your notebook.

Below, you can find the rest of the Design Team, and their wonderful 
'Peacful Poppies Suite' creations.
Enjoy hopping, and see you next time. D x

I am celebrating by using the 'Timeless Tropical Bundle' 🍍,

I have die cut the pineapple, using the 'Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and colouring the paper with an 'Aqua Painter' and Ink pads.
Top: Colour with 'Old Olive' and add some 'Mossy Meadow'.
Bottom: Colour with 'Crushed Curry', and add 'Old Olive' & 'Soft Suede'.

'Aqua Painter' and 'Mango Melody' ink.

The flowers & leaves are a sweet finish to my Tropical creation.
