JAI 711: Just Add Inspiration

 Hi!


Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have an Inspiration Challenge, suggested to us by Kim.


Brrr! It's been very cold here in Adelaide, so the hot chocolate/winter Christmas image seems appropriate. I loved the colours in the image, especially the red, white and soft blue/grey. I decided to make some Christmas packaging.

I used a pre-made pillow box as my base. The gorgeous shimmery ribbon was from my 'that may come in handy' drawer, and was just the right length for the box. The flowers are from Kaisercraft, that I've had in my stash for a very long time. The colours worked perfectly with the challenge image.

The sentiment is from Brightest Glow, stamped in Boho Blue ink. I cropped it with a Tailor Made Tags die and popped it up on the top of the pillow box. The other flowers were tucked in underneath. I think it's pretty, and would be a great idea for a gift card or cash.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have created based on the Inspiration Photo over at the Just Add Ink blog. You can also add your card (or gift pack!) to the Linky. We'd love to see what you make.

Colour Creations: Pecan Pie

 Hi!


Welcome to our Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week, we are celebrating Pecan Pie, the last of the new colours to the Stampin' Up! range. It's a warm mid-brown that I think will grow on me - I haven't quite warmed to it yet.

I recently purchased the It's A Science stamp set, and couldn't wait to play. Like last week, I was very time poor, so a clean and simple card was called for. I really love the science puns in this stamp set, so it was a no brainer to use the matter icon all over the front of my card.

scissorspapercard, Colour Creations, Stampin' Up!, It's A Science, Tailor Made Tags Dies

The matching sentiment was stamped Whisper White card, cropped with a Tailor Made Tags Die and popped up over the card base.

I used another pair of icon/sentiments for the inside of the card. I can see myself having a lot of fun with this stamp set!

That's all from me, but please do continue your way around our hop. Just keep on going until you get back to where you started. The next stop is the lovely Caroline Manwaring, and I'm sure that she's got something gorgeous for you to see.

CTC 402: CASE The Mini Catalogue

 Hi!


Thanks for stopping by on the CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. By now I hope that you've been able to have a good look at the new Mini Catalogue, because that's what we are CASEing this week.


You can choose any project from any page of the Mini Catalogue to CASE. I found this Enjoy The Moment Memories & More card on page 73. The repetitive hearts background caught my eye, and coming on top of the thought that I hadn't used my Dots & Spots Die much, it was a no-brainer to CASE.


I started by working out which size of the Stitched Rectangles Dies worked best with the Dots & Spots Dies, as I wanted all of the spots to be contained within the rectangle. I backed the resulting Very Vanilla piece with some Night Of Navy cardstock, and then matted it on Shaded Spruce Card. The whole things was popped up over two layers of Crumb Cake card.

I used my Tech Support stamp set to decorate the front. Instead of flowers tucked behind the sentiment, I used the image of keys. Hehe, I use the 'age not found' sentiment a lot - I think it's funny! I stamped it on Very Vanilla card and then cropped it with one of my Tailor Made Tags Dies. The twine is retired.

I used the second half of the sentiment on the inside of the card, along with a pointer image.

We'd love for you to CASE The Catty along with us. Just make a card that is a CASE of one in the Mini Catalogue and add a photo to our Facebook Group. It really is that easy!


Thanks again for stopping by, but don't stop here - please keep going on our Blog Hop tonight by jumping on over to Julia Quinn's blog. She's got a gorgeous, sunshiny card that's bound to make you smile.

Colour Creations: Mint Macaron

 Hi!


Thanks for stopping by on your way around our Colour Creations Blog Hop this evening. It's Mint Macaron week. Hooray! As you may have guessed, it's a favourite of mine. It began as an In Colour, but eventually found it's way back as a member of the Subtles colour family in a colour refresh.


I love Mint Macaron paired with Neutrals, so I absolutely adored this colour combo from Brian King.

scissorspapercard, Colour Creations, Plentiful Plants Bundle, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Design A Daydream Host DSP

The DSP on the top part of my card is from the Design A Daydream Host DSP pack. I'm a real sucker for these tile-like patterns, so I really love this sheet of DSP. I used some Neutrals DSP on the bottom section, separated by some Very Vanilla Baker's Twine.

scissorspapercard, Colour Creations, Plentiful Plants Bundle, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Design A Daydream Host DSP

My Plentiful Plants bundle was dusted off for the feature panel. I cropped the Very Vanilla cardstock with a Tailor Made Tags die. One leaf image and the top line of the sentiment was stamped directly on the tag, with the other leaves and pot stamped on scraps and popped up over the top.

Another pot and plant was stamped on the inside, with the last two thirds of the sentiment. I love how easy it is to split sentiments when stamping with photopolymer stamps. It's so easy to ink up just the line (or two) that you need without having to fuss around with masking off bits and pieces.

Please continue your way around our blog hop tonight by jumping on over to Christine Blain's blog. I can't wait to see what she's made.

If you run into any problems with links on tonight's blog hop, please hop on over to Cathy Proctor's blog. She will have a list of all of tonight's participants and you can get yourself back on track.

Colour Creations: Bermuda Bay

Hi!


Thanks for stopping by for our new Colour Creations Blog Hop. I love this week's feature colour - Bermuda Bay. It's a lovely mid blue-green that belongs to the Brights colour family.

I've once again looked to Brian King for a colour combo, and he hasn't disappointed. I love the pairing of Pool Party and Bermuda Bay, with Crumb Cake as an awesome neutral thrown into the mix.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Colour Creations, Biggest Wish, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Neutrals DSP, Masculine Card

I had actually hoped to make this card with an about to be released Sale-A-Bration stamp set, called Amazing Phrasing, except that my BBB hasn't been delivered yet. The stamp has a few words in a large font that's a bit wider than the font in Biggest Wish. Can you see the shadow effect with the word 'happy'? I think it would be more effective with the SAB stamp set. I will have to try it another week with a different colour.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Colour Creations, Biggest Wish, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Neutrals DSP, Masculine Card

I used my Tailor Made Tags dies for the focal part of the sentiment. I used the biggest tag to crop the Whisper White card, so I had to hand cut the Bermuda Bay layer underneath. It's easy enough to do when the outline is all straight lines.

You can see the shadow effect a bit better on the inside, with just one word stamped.

Thanks for stopping by, but please do continue your way around our Bermuda Bay Blog Hop. The nest stop along the way is my Melbournian friend, Rachel Woollard.

CTC 372: CASE The All Occasions Section

 Hi!


I hope yo've had a wonderful weekend. It's been wet and miserable here in Adelaide, but that generally means more crafting time for me! I managed to complete one QAYG block and two cards. What better way to finish it off than with the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop?


This week we are asking you to CASE the All Occasions section from the Annual Catalogue. It covers pages 12-45, so there's plenty of cards and projects to inspire you.


I found this sweet Christmas card towards the back of the All Occasions section. I liked the colours and the simple stamping. I'm a big fan of red and pink together, so this card ticked a few boxes for me!

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, Christmas To Remember, Forever Fern, Tailor Made Tags, Christmas Card

Despite not having several of the key products in the catalogue sample, I kept my card very similar to the original. I used Poppy Parade ink to stamps the Forever Ferm images on the Blushing Bride cardstock. I added some more using Mossy Meadow ink, and some splatters in Blushing Bride.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, Christmas To Remember, Forever Fern, Tailor Made Tags, Christmas Card

Tailor Made Tags was a fabulous substitute for the dies that I don't own. I stamped a few more leaves in Soft Sea Foam, and the sentiment from Christmas To Remember in Poppy Parade. I think that twine is Mossy Meadow - it was a scrap that I found floating on my desk and thought it looked to be the right colour!

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, Christmas To Remember, Forever Fern, Tailor Made Tags, Christmas Card

I used Forever Fern again to do some coordinating stamping on the inside of my card, with another Christmas To Remember sentiment. I loved this stamp set last Christmas, so I was pleased that it carried over to the new Annual Catalogue. 

Wow, my first Christmas card for 2022 is done! Will you choose a Christmas card to CASE from the All Occasions section, or will you go for something different? Post a photo of your card in our Facebook group when you've decided.


The next stop along with way in our Blog Hop is Peta Stephen, who has CASEd a gorgeous card from page 27. Her version is equally as gorgeous - you won't want to miss it!

Colour Creations: Pacific Point

 Hi!


It's Wednesday, which is not only hump-day but also Colour Creations Day. I know which one sounds nicer! This week we are looking at Pacific Point, a nice, vibrant blue from the Brights colour family.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Colour Creations, Sweet As A Peach, Pattern Party DSP, Brights DSP, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies

I decided to make a masculine card using Pacific Point this week. Nice and simple, no fuss, flowers or frills! The woodgrain DSP is from the Brights DSP pack, but I think it's from a retired pack.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Colour Creations, Sweet As A Peach, Pattern Party DSP, Brights DSP, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies

I was watching the Fourth Ashes Test while I was making this card, so I decided to colour each of the polka dots in the Pattern Party DSP using my Pacific Point Stampin' Write Marker. You can see that I wasn't precise in my colouring, but that's the look I was going for.

Another little strip of the DSP was used to finish off the inside.

Thanks for stopping by, but please do continue your way around our Blog Hop tonight. The next stop is the wonderful Kate Morgan. I wonder what she's done with this bright blue?

As always, the equally wonderful Catherine Proctor keeps us all organised, so if you have a problem with a broken link, just pop on over to her blog. You'll find a list of all participants there.

CTC 347: CASE A Mini Catalogue Bundle

 Hi!


Hello, and welcome back to my blog for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Do you enjoy CASEing projects from the catalogues? Then we are the Challenge for you!


This week we are asking you to CASE your favourite Mini Catalogue Bundle. Hmm, that's tricky to narrow down!! I ended up choosing this card, made with the Sweet Stockings bundle.


Somehow, my card ended up looking nothing like the original!!

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, NOthing's Better Than Bundle, Sweet Ice Cream, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Expressions In Ink SDSP

I had big plans to stamp three of the cocktails from Nothing's Better Than on the largest of the tags, but they didn't quite fit. I decided to go with one cocktail on each of the second largest tags - which are from the Tailor Made Tags Dies.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, NOthing's Better Than Bundle, Sweet Ice Cream, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Expressions In Ink SDSP

I used Polished Pink as my feature colour. The word 'Cocktails' was cropped from a piece of PP card with some Foam Adhesive Sheet attached to the back for a lovely bit of dimension for the card. The DSP is from the Expressions In Ink pack.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, NOthing's Better Than Bundle, Sweet Ice Cream, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Expressions In Ink SDSP

I couldn't resist adding another pink cocktail to the inside, with a sentiment from Sweet Ice Cream.

That's all from me for tonight. We'd love to know which bundle from the Mini Catalogue is your favourite. Just CASE a card made using it and post a photo in our Facebook group before next Sunday evening. It's that easy!


Before you go, though, please do finish our Blog Hop. The next stop along with way is my good friend, Judy May. You won't want to miss her gorgeous card!
