Just Add Ink - 'Add a Die Cut Word' Blog Hop Challenge #500

Hello, and welcome to the 500th Just Add Ink Challenge!
The JAI Design Team are celebrating this momentous occasion by having a Blog Hop with the theme: 'Just Add a Die Cut Word'.

You may have hopped to me from Chantelle, or you have started right here! Get yourself a nice cup of tea, or coffee, or whatever you require, and enjoy our creations.

We would love for you to join in with our Challenge, and add your creation to our Just Add Ink Challenge Blog here...

 My 'Just Add a Die Cut Word' is...

'Aloha' - a simple Hawaiian greeting of 'Hello' or 'Goodbye'.

A deeper cultural and spiritual significance to Native Hawaiians meaning; 

'Love, Affection, Peace, Compassion and Mercy'.

I have die-cut the sentiment, pineapple and flowers from 'In The Tropics Dies', 

and not one stamp in sight.

The card front is embossed using the 'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder', 

and adhered to a 'Lovely Lipstick' card base.

An 'Aloha' gift tag.

Emboss the 'Whisper White' gift tag using the 'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder'.

Adhere the pineapple pieces, and add the flowers.

The 'aloha' is 2 pieces adhered together, and adhere to the tag.

Finish by adding some 'Grapefruit Grove Ribbon'.

Next up is my lovely friend, Lou.

I cannot wait to see what Lou has created for us, and I know you will love it anyway!

Thankyou for visiting, and be sure to visit the Design Teams Blogs for awesome inspiration.

Hope you are well? Hope you are safe?, and Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.

See you next time. D x

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

with a little bit of Pineapple fun.

'Do you like Pina Coladas?'
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'.

Background:
*Splatter the 'Mango Melody' cardstock mat using an 
'Aqua Painter' and 'Mango Melody' ink.
*Stamp the sentiment.
* Emboss using the 'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.
* The straw has been cut down from a paper straw!

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

Next on the hop is Kim, and her absolutley gorgeous Tropical creation!

'Resolution Solution' - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop

Hi there, and Happy New Year!
The Creation Station Design Team are kicking off the New Year, and we have created using Organisation as our starting point.

You may have hopped to me from Sara?, or have started with me right here.

Enjoy my take on our theme, and then hop along and visit the Design Teams Blogs for some amazing creations.

I have decorated notebooks - ready to use as a diary or journal.

I have a handful of these little notebooks, and I have prettied them up using the 
'Timeless Tropical Bundle'.

I started out die cutting the flowers and leaves, using the 'Brights Cardstock' pack.
Adhering the die cut flowers and leaves around the sentiment.

The notebook and sentiment prior to adhering.

I love this little decoration!

You can add your own sentiment, and different coloured flowers to make it your very own.

'Rest & Relax'

A perfect little Travel Journal using the palm trees and the 

'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder'.

I coloured the Frangipani with 'Watercolor Pencils' & a 'Blender Pen'.

Stamping the sentiment directly onto the notebook with 'Early Espresso' ink.

Next up is Dena and her always amazing creations.

 

Thankyou for being here, and I hope to have inspired you with my notebooks/journals.

Until next time. D x
