I had a little time over the weekend to play “Just Because”. Which was fun! I don’t often get that chance. So I had a go at this week’s Colour Inkspirations Challenge 212. It has been a while since I have played along with this.
The Colours were Golden Glow, Crisp Canteloupe, Barely Blush and Lost Lagoon.
It was a bit hard with these colours. I don’t have the Stampin’ Blends or the Ink Refills in these colours or any patterned paper. So I went with the Ink Pads. We are creative people. We can work with what we have right?? 😆
I thought I would go with the “smooshing” technique. I dabbed the ink pads in random places over the large Clear Block. If you don’t have that you could use a piece of acetate. Or if really desparate grab a plate.
I then lightly spritzed the inked block with water and moved the block around a little. Then lay some watercolour paper on to the clear block and pressed over the back of the paper. Voila! It worked ok. The fun thing with this is you could put another piece of paper over and create a second one too as there was enough ink to work it.
I used the Friendly Foliage stamp set and dies. And embossed the Lost Lagoon Card mat with the new Textured Tree Rings Embossing Folder for a subtle background. The sentiment was heat embossed in Gold for a little class.
There is time to play along too if you would like to. It’s good to stretch our creativity. You can find the challenges -> HERE (on Facebook).
Happy Crafting this week with whatever makes your heart happy.
We can’t miss the cow with the Wild Bunch Stamp Set.
I coloured this cow with the Stampin’ Blends and layered it on some of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. I thought that paper worked well for this cow. What do you think?
It’s nice to give a card to “send some love”. Hope you get to send out a card for that soon to someone who needs a little “love”.
Have a great day,
Jenny
Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is now sold out. I hope you had a chance to get one but you can substitute the idea with something you have.
It’s Penguin Friends today with the Wild Bunch set. Aren’t these just the cutest?? Lots of penguin smiles to send to a friend. I’m sure it will cheer them up.
I coloured the penguins lightly with Watercolor Pencils and fussy cut them and raised them up on to white card circles with Dimensionals. The circles were raised up too. Adding some of the Painted Illusions paper gives some extra happiness and cheer too.
Check back for more with the Wild Bunch stamp set this week.
Unfortunately the Wild Bunch Stamp Set is sold out. It has been so popular. If you don’t have that one you might have a different stamp to substitute with.
It’s a Wild Bunch Week this week. We are starting off slow with the snail.
For this fun snail I coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends using the Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight colours for the shell and Balmy Blue for the body. The white card is embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder. It has so much detail.
Be sure to check in this week with some more cute Wild Bunch Cards.
Back with another Scenic Coast card. Sometimes when I want to do a card a little differently but I don’t have a lot of time to do the whole complex Fancy Fold Card I do this. It’s an easy effect. I call it a Part Front Card.
I cut off half of the front of the card. Added some pretty papers. They could be the same or co-ordinating papers. Then add a front panel. This panel could be any size depending on what you want to add.
This particular card I cut a square of white card to diecut the lighthouse. Then layered some paper behind it. It kind of looks like a sunset perhaps. Then added it to a card mat panel.
Try it out when you want to cheat and do something differently. Especially if Fun Folds cards are not your favourite to do as they can be complex.
Have fun creating and exploring new things.

Are you in Australia and “need” some supplies? Let me help you. You can jump over to my Online store -> HERE OR contact me by email or commenting here and I will get back to you.
I have shared some cards with the Scenic Coast Suite particularly the Sunset Coast Bundle. I have 2 cards to show you today. A Stamped card and a Diecut one. Both of these cards we made at our Class today.
For this one I diecut the circle and then stamped the scene within it. Of course you could stamp and diecut after but it is good to know the area you have to work with. The little “netting” was diecut and cut in half to adhere to both sides of the circle.
The front has “Wherever this note finds you…” and inside on white card it was stamped with “I hope it finds you happy” with some of the little boats as well.
This card below the boat scene was diecut in white and added to some of the Scenic Coast Paper. It looks kind of stormy skies with it clearing ahead don’t you think??
There are lots of ways to create with this bundle. I hope you have caught some of the other projects I have shared.
This is the Sunset Coast Stamps and Dies.
And this is the Scenic Coast Paper. It has such beautiful watercoloured scenes. It comes in 6″x6″.

Happy Crafting,

I have been playing with the Scenic Coast Suite this past week. I have lots to share with you over the coming week or 2. So let’s take a trek.
In the Sunset Coast Dies I particularly liked the Circle shaped die. It is different to anything we have had and I think there is lots you can do with it.
It’s a simple card really. Cut a piece of one of the beautiful handpainted prints. Add that to a card mat and then add to the White Card Base.
The sentiment is from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set.
Check back for more with this set in the next coming days if you would like more inspiration with this bundle. I have lots more to add.
Happy Crafting,

It’s Sweet Sunday time. I have been colouring the little critters from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set. It is a cute one. Today I put together one of those little ones. Of course being an Aussie it had to be the Koala.
I coloured the Koala with the Watercolor Pencils and fussy cut it out.
I used the Nature Walk Paper. It looks a bit “bushy” or among “trees”. The diecut leaf is from the Nature’s Symphony Dies. I don’t know if they leaf would work for a Eucalyptus leaf (their favourite) but it would substitute on this.
The Wild Bunch is this month’s Product of the Month. Have you noticed it? It’s a cute one. I don’t often do cute but well this has a Koala and lots of fun, happy critters it would work for grown ups too.
The Product of the Month is available for an additional small amount when your order reaches the qualifying amount. It differs in each market. In Australia purchase the Product of the Month for an additional $9 when your order reaches $125.
Have a wonderful week and I hope it is a crafty one for you.
I have been creating a lot with the Scenic Coast Bundle this week. I will share them all with you in the coming week.
Today’s card though is using the stamps to create a scene. I wasn’t sure what direction to take this when I started it but then it happened. And I created a Hole in the Rock scene.
There is a Hole in the Rock in New Zealand just like this that you can cruise through. I did that some years ago one time when I was there.
For the water I stamped it once in the centre and then either side of that to create a wider water scene. The “Hole in the Rock” was stamped in Pecan Pie for the solid image and Early Espresso for the shadow areas. It creates more depth when doing that.
It is hard to but I also stamped the smaller “water” stamp over the Night of Navy card in 3 areas to create the background. I considered embossing with an embossing folder but it worked ok for a subtle background.
The Hello is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.
This is the Sunset Coast Stamps and Dies.
Check back over the next week as I share more with these stamps and dies and the paper.
