Just Add Ink - Inspiration Challenge #461

The Just Add Ink Challenge Blog has an 'Inspiration Challenge' #461 this week.
The Design Team have some serious creations for you, and 
you are going to love them all!

Such a beautiful photo for our inspiration... and we can't wait for you to join in too!
Add your creation to our JAI Blog Challenge Gallery here.

I have used a mix of 'Basic Gray' cardstock for the Card base & sentiment, and 'Basic Gray' ink for the stem of the flower. 'Gray Granite' cardstock for the card front & mat, and 'Smoky Slate' for the fern images stamped into the corners.
I have stamped the Daisy image with 'Daffodil Delight' ink onto 'So Saffron' cardstock.
Don't you just love the 'Perrenial Essence Floral Centre'?

The sentiment comes from the retired 'Wishing You Well' stampset, as I don't have a sentiment from the NEW Annual Catalogue.
I have coloured some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' with the 'Dark Daffodil Delight' Stampin' Blends Marker', and wound it around the sentiment.

It wasn't in my initial thought process, however, sometimes we need to create a card to reach out to someone for their loss.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and hop around to visit the talent of the JAI Design Team. See you next time. D x

Just Add Ink - Just Add Sympathy #455

Welcome to my blog, and to the Just Add Ink - Just Add Sympathy Challenge.

What a week the Design Team have had making Sympathy cards 

for our nearest & dearest.

Please join in with this Challenge, and share with us your Sympathy creations. 

Add your project to our gallery here.

Sympathy cards are not the nicest of cards to be giving, however, we send them to someone to show we care about them at such a sad time, and that they are in our thoughts.

My creation is going to a very dear friend of mine.

The *'Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin' (with scalloped edged envelopes), and *'Bird Ballad DSP' was the perfect choice for my friend.
(The 'Very Vanilla' Cards & Envelopes come in pack of 12 of each, stored in a sweet 'Petal Pink & Gold' tin.)
How divine is the lacy detailed card front? I have adhered a piece of 'Very Vanilla' cardstock behind the detail to fill in the card front.
*Available in the NEW Annual Catalogue June 4th,  2019.


The sentiment is from the retiring 'Wishing You Well' stampset.
Stamped in 'Soft Suede' ink, then I used stamped off 'So Saffron' ink for the flowers. 
Die cut using the 'Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies'.
Attach a strip of 'Tear & Tape Adhesive' to the back of the rectangle, and apply some divine NEW 'Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim'.

I have fussy cut the bird and flowers from the Designer Series Paper. 
The images from this DSP are so beautiful!

Believe me, these are such gorgeous products, and a must for your Wish List when the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue is launched.

Thankyou for visiting me, and be sure to visit the Design Teams blogs and leave them a little love this week.
Take care, and see you next Challenge. D x

Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge #041

This round, it's a 'Sketch Challenge' for the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Design Team.

The Sketch is below, and we would love for you to join in the fun and create something for our gallery. You can add your creation by clicking here.

I have used the retiring 2017-2019 In Color Collection as the starting point for my creation...

I love 'Punch Art', and have made a flower from the 'Bitty Blooms Punch Pack' using 'Berry Burst', 'Fresh Fig', 'Powder Pink' & 'Tranquil Tide'.
The 'Berry Burst Mini Ruffled Ribbon' makes a lovely statement wrapped around the card front.

The feature from the 'Sketch' is the 'Tag Topper Scallop Punch' - stamped with the 'Wishing You Well' stamp set in 'Lemon Lime Twist'.
The sentiment is from the carrying over 'Label Me Pretty' stampset.

I adapted the tag into OnStage swaps for when I attended OnStage Live in Auckland, New Zealand. The best 3 days catching up with my fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, and the best part getting the NEW Annual Catalogue.

Here I am with the NEW

 Stampin' Up!®️ Annual Catalogue available 4th June, 2019. 

I took my NEW Catalogue for a little walk around Auckland, showing it the Sky Tower and the sights of this lovely city. My Annual Catalogue need it's own Passport!

Thankyou so much for visiting. Enjoy the Design Teams creations, and we can't wait to see your creation in our gallery.

Until next time. D x
