COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS CHALLENGE #150 WITH INKED AND TILED STAMP SET!

The Colour Inkspirations have their 150th Colour Challenge this week. I had to have a go. I first started these challenges way back near the beginning so wanted to join in with this milestone.

The Colour Challenge#150 this week was Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock.

I have to say these colours were hard to use all together.

Here is the card I created. I have used the Inked and Tiled Stamp Set.

The paper is the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper stack. I have used 2 different patterns creating a block pattern.

The flowers were inked with Brushes and Daubers to add the different colours. The White Baker’s Twine was coloured with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.

It is nothing fancy but I liked the effect.

Hope you get to have a go at it. You can create your own and post it to the Facebook Group -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! TRUCKING ALONG WITH A TRAILER.

Not just a truck (pickup/ute) but you can make a trailer as well. It makes a fun addition using the Trucking Along Bundle.

To do this – Stamp 2 trucks, punch them out. With one snip the back off and cut a little “tab” near the front end of the rear of the truck. If that makes sense. I will do a little video of it shortly and post it to Facebook and Instagram for you to see so be sure you follow along there.

You can build a scene with the other stamps in the set.

The sentiment from Sending Smiles is quite apt for this card I think. It is diecut with the co-ordinating die from the Sending Dies.

This is the fun Trucking Along Stamp set and the Punch. You can use this for many different occasions.

This was one of the cards we created in our class today. So fun!

If you are local we would love to see you there. We always welcome new crafters. My classes are in East Corrimal, Wollongong. NSW If you can’t make them I can send out the Class By Mail.

If you just have to have this Trucking Along Bundle don’t miss out. It’s part of the Online Exclusives and only for a limited time.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #151 – FLAGGING YOUR RIBBON!

Wednesday’s WOW! #151 – Flagging your Ribbon ends.

Do you like to flag the ends of your ribbon? Flagging is cutting the ends to a ‘V’ Point. Don’t try and cut the points individually. They never turn out even…

Here is a tip for you to “flag” those ends. Fold the sides of one of the ends of the ribbon together in half and make one snip to a point. The longer part – the point is towards the end of the ribbon. It makes them cut so much easier.

Hope this helps you.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – LET’S GO FISHING!

Today with Sunday Suites we will have a look at the Let’s Go Fishing Suite.

It’s coming up to Father’s Day next month here in Australia. So perhaps this might work for some Aussie readers for the men in their life. And it’s not just for the fishermen.

The full Let’s Go Fishing Suite Collection.

The Suite includes:

  • GONE FISHING PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
  • GONE FISHING DIES (If you get the dies and stamps as a bundle you save 10%).
  • TWISTED ROPE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER
  • LET’S GO FISHING 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

The Gone Fishing Bundle.

I love how there is even the die for a tackle box. But I have seen that used for lots of other images too.

Here is the Let’s Go Fishing Paper in more detail. There are some prints that you can use for any occasion not just for the fisherman (or fisherwoman). 🙂

The colours in the paper are: Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat.

What about this Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder. It looks pretty cool. You can see a sample using it further below. But consider using it for other “non-masculine” cards even. What fun!

Now for a sample group. Lots of ideas.

You can see a bit clearer on this card below how you can use the Twisted Roper Embossing Folder. It adds quite a bit of texture. If you rub some ink over with a Blending Brush it highlights some of the “rope”.

The Let’s Go Fishing Suite can be seen more in my store -> HERE.

And you can shop there too if you need some crafting supplies and you are in Australia. If shopping online please use the Host Code: R663PWDW.

Have a great day,

ANOTHER EVERLASTING BEAUTY CARD!

I have another Everlasting Beauty Card for you. I have actually loved creating these cards. I’m not a huge lover of colouring but these have been relatively easy to colour.

The Waratah flower was coloured with the Pencils. The paper mat is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp set. It was stamped in Versamark on black card and heat embossed in white.

The Everlasting Beauty stamp set is so lovely. It’s great that many of these lovely flowers are found in Australia.

If you would like this stamp set to create beautiful projects then you can grab this from my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: QXJQDQ9U OR contact me directly.

I hope you get to create some beautiful cards with this set.

Happy Crafting,
