INK #154 Sketch Challenge

 Hi everyone,

It is wonderful to be back Blog Hopping again!

Please join us every month, I always look forward to seeing the designs everyone comes up with.

Welcome to this INKspired Blog Hop!

This hop is based upon the Sketch Challenge below, designed by Teneale Williams:

How about you have a go with this Sketch Challenge?

I would love to see what you come up with!

My card begins with a Basic White card base. My first layer is Rich Razzleberry which has been embossed with the Cascading Ruffles 3D folder.

I have then die cut 2 pieces of Wonderful World DSP and a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I have layered these on some Rich Razzleberry cardstock which is cut using the paper trimmer adding another 5mm to the 1st layer, the 3rd layer is the reverse side of the Wonderful World DSP adding another 5mm, layers are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and attached to the card with Dimensionals in the pattern as per the Sketch provided.

My sentiment on Basic White is from the Go To Greetings stamp set from our annual catalogue, stamped in one of our 2022-2024 in colours Orchid Oasis. This has been cut also using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The sentiment is layered on a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and popped up with Dimensionals.

The Iris from the Wonderful World Stamp set, has been stamped, after being coloured with Pear Pizzazz - for the leaves and stem and Orchid Oasis markers, for the flower. I have then stamped the Iris Flower again on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it and adhered it over the stamped flower to add a little more dimension.

The card front has been finished with 2022-2024 In Colour Matte Decorative Dots in Orchid Oasis.

The inside of my card has a Cornflour, also from the Wonderful World stampset, it carries the DSP on the front of the card to the inside. The Cornflour is also stamped as the Iris has been on the front, using Pear Pizzazz and Orchid Oasis and extra layer of the flower. A strip of Wonderful World DSP, as layered on the card front finishes the bottom of the card inside.

The Wonderful World stamp set and DSP is available only until the end of August from the current SALE a-bration! promotion. They are both FREE when you spend $180 on any Stampin' Up! products.

My card began with a Misty Moonlight card base. My first layer a piece of Whimsy & Wonder DSP.

I have then cut a strip of Misty Moonlight and used the Gingham Embossing Folder from the upcoming Mini Catalogue January to June 2022, this was cut at the bottom to give the shape required from the sketch with my paper snips.

I then die cut a circle from Basic White using the layering circle dies.

My stamped image is from the Whimsical Trees stampset in Misty Moonlight and has some Silver metallic Pearls added. The circle has been stood up on dimensionals.

My sentiment is also from the Whimsical Trees Stampset which I have embossed using Silver Embossing Powder.

There is no stamping this week, my card was made using DSP from the Snail Mail Suite which is in the Mini Catalogue that ends shortly on the 30th June.

My card began with a Bermuda Bay card base. My 2 rectangles were cut using my paper trimmer to no specific size from Daffodil Delight and Real Red, 2 pieces of DSP were then cut at half a centimetre smaller and layered with multipurpose liquid glue. My bow is tied with Grey Granite Shimmer Ribbon and attached using glue dots.

My Daffodil Delight piece was attached to the cardbase using dimensionals and the Real Red was attached at an angle with multipurpose liquid glue.

My circles were die cut using the Layering Circles in Bermuda Bay and Basic White. The Basic White circle was embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. 

My image and sentiment are fussy cut from the Snail Mail DSP and the image is attached using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.

The inside is layered with Daffodil Delight Cardstock to carry on from the front of the card, then Basic White with a strip of Snail Mail DSP and an image fussy cut from the Snail Mail DSP.

INKspired #127 Sketch Challenge

 

Hi everyone.

How about you have a go with this Sketch Challenge?

I would love to see what you come up with!

Not long until Christmas is here!

Here's My Card:

I started my card with a Whisper White card base. My first layer was from the  Heartwarming Hugs DSP, this was followed by a Pear Pizzazz strip embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. My rectangle is cut from Whisper White. These are topped with some Mossy Meadow Diagonal Striped Ribbon, this was all adhered to the card base with multipurpose liquid glue. My lady gnome is from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set and is stamped in Momento Black ink. I coloured her with an assortment of Stampin Markers and Stampin Blends. I used the Layering Oval Dies to cut around the gnome and also used a scalloped Layering Oval die and cut another piece from the same DSP - Heartwarming Hugs but using the reverse side, these were attached to the card using dimensionals. The sentiment, also from Gnome for the Season is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder on a strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock which I cut at and angle on one end with snips.   

I finished the card with 3 Pearl Basic Jewels which I coloured using a Real Red Stampin Blender Pen.

The inside is layered with Pear Pizazz, then Whisper White. The Pear Pizzazz has been stamped around the outside in Pear Pizzazz Ink with the same image as the card front, only just her hat which is also a tree. The Whisper White layer is stamped with the same hat/tree image and sentiment is also from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder. The tree has then been coloured with Stampin Blends. Both layers were attached using multipurpose liquid glue.

INKspired #124 Sketch Challenge

 

Hi everyone.

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Before me on the hop was Jo Wilson who I'm sure provided inspiration using the Sketch Challenge below designed by Teneale Williams:

How about you have a go with this Sketch Challenge?

I would love to see what you come up with!

Taking a little break from Christmas cards, 

I returned to my favourite, flowers.

Here's My Card:

I started my card with a Thick Whisper White card base. My first layer was Mint Macaron which I embossed using the Greenery Embossing folder, this was followed by a Whisper White strip embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I then cut 3 scalloped Squares from the Layering Squares Dies in Just Jade cardstock, 3 smaller squares also from the Layering Squares Dies were cut from Shimmery White cardstock. These were stamped with a flower from Lovely You stampset and coloured using Magenta Madness and Bumblebee for the flowers and Just Jade for the stems and leaves using Stampin Up! Markers. The Squares were popped up on Dimensionals. The sentiment comes from the Well Said stampset which was stamped in Mint Macaron on Mint Macaron Cardstock. I finished the card with 3 Pearl Basic Jewels.

I think that Just Jade and Mint Macaron go well combined together, what do you think? 

The inside is layered with Mint Macaron, then Whisper White. The stamped images are from Lovely You in Just Jade and Mint Macaron, the flowers are coloured using Magenta Madness and Bumblebee Markers. I have cut the 2 top corners of the Whisper White using the Trio Punch.

A short and sweet Hop this time, but I hope you gain some inspiration from it
