Inkspirational #198

Hi All

Our new word prompt at Inkspirational is:

MASK

This made me think of how we all mask our feeling sometimes and went on a hunt through my crafting goodies to represent this is some way and made this:

We often 'smile' to mask how we feel inside!

I have used a stencil from Funky Fossil Designs.

The 'Smile' Die and sentiment comes from CAS-ual Fridays stamps

Our team have all made super cards-check them out here

And then get crafty!

Enjoy!

Inkspirational #196

Hi There,

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational

We have our Designer's choice and today Shauna has chosen the 'paper piercing' technique.

You can use any type of paper piercing-traditional, sewing etc. Here I used an embossed panel that pierced the paper for me!

That gorgeous embossed background was a gift from the lovely Joyce and when I saw it I knew it had to be used this year!

Our team have all made super inspirations for you-take a look here and join in the fun!

Have a good day x

Inkspiational #195

Hi All

We have our word prompt at Inkspirational and this time the word is:

CROP

Here is what I made:

I took the word 'crop' to be harvesting grapes to make wine!!

Sentiment and bottle die from My Favorite Things

Yes, I know the sentiment is a bit blurry but I decided to leave it this way! Yes it wasn't meant to be like this but it amused me-isn't this the way you see things after 'barrels of wine'!!

All our DT have made amazing cards-pop on over to Inkspirational and have a look!

Enjoy your day

I will enter this into:

CASology-LOL-think barrels of wine will make you LOL and a little more!!

I used a previously made watercolour background and just placed this butterfly die-given to me in one of the crafty goodies gifts my dear friend Joyce sent me....she sends me so many beautiful packages all full of the most wonderful crafting joys! Thank you Joyce for your kindness x

Inkspirational #187

Hi All

A new challenge starts at Inkspirational today and Marlena has chosen:

'Gold Dipped'

I had fun making this card. I used the same stamp 'celebrate artsy' from STAMPlorations and stamped in onto the card with 3 different colour inks from Catherine Pooler. Then I used delicata gold ink of some card just stamping if different areas so when I cut the die from Winnie and Walter it would look like just the edges had been dipped in gold! Added the die onto fun foam for dimension.

Now lets see what the team have for us for here

I will enter this into:

AAA Cards-use one 3rd and optional bright colours-I went with the twist.

CASology-Color-not much else here except white spaces and splashes of colour!

Inkspirational #185

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspitational

It is our photo challenge.

I have gone out of my comfort zone here and made this:

And the photo that inspired this:

Pretty easy to see I went with the teapot and teacup!

I have used the stamp set Serendipi-tea by CAS-ual Fridays. I heat embossed in pink the teacup and teapot onto designer paper and the fussy cut this out.

The teapot was popped up on pads but I decided to keep the teacup flat.

Used a STAMPlorations die and just stamped the sentiment and popped this up with foam pads onto the designer card.

Check out what our amazing Design Team made, inspired by this photo, here and then get inky!

Enjoy!

Inkspirational #184

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational and today our inspiring teamie chose:

Pop it Up-add some dimension!

Here is my take:

I used my fav way to 'pop up' and add dimension to a card-fun foam-this and quick! Here I used it in yellow on the die cut cross and just off set a cream cross die cut. The cross is from 'Verve' stamps-not in production anymore...so sad!!

There is also dimension added to the stitched die and sentiment-using foam pads.

All the DT have made super cards to inspire you-take a look here and then get inky!

Enjoy!

Inkspirational #183

Hi All

We have a new challenge at Inkspirational and this week we have the prompt word of:

CLOUD

Here is my card:

The clouds are die cut from fun foam and just placed randomly to give me a dimensional background.

The umbrella I coloured and fussy cut out. It comes from the same set from Happy Little Stampers-no longer with us (so sad!)

Our DT have all made super cards. Pop on over here and then get inky!

Enjoy!

I will enter this into:

Stick it down-sketch

    

Inkspirational #182

Hi There,

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational-my fav challenges-a photo challenge!

First up my card:

And now the photo that inspired my card:

There is so much here to inspire you!

I picked out the pink and blue in this card and then I based my card on the pattern of the gorgeous fun headboard-it just reminded me of medallion stamps. I used the Medallion mix set. This idea came to me after I remembered Lynn's card here on Instagram. I loved the way she combined the medallions and used the different colours-she very kindly said I could CASE her card-thank you Lynn.

I kept the base card and the label in grey to match the wallpaper grey base.

Our fabulous team made some stunning cards based on this photo-take a look here and then get crafting away!

Inkspirational #181

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational.

Our super teamie Carol has asked us to:

USE OUR STASH

After a hunt through my stash box, here is what I made:

When I first began I had no idea what I was going to make. A hunt through and play around with some gorgeous stash goodies that had been sent to me from my teamies at Time Out....I came up with this.

I got the cluster of flowers from Stephnanie and the wooden centre dot and small card base from Jenny-you know these are stash that my Time Out teamies sent me 2 Birthdays ago...they all sent me so much I still have it and use it regularly-how fab is that!

So not strictly 'my stash' but kept in 'my stash' box and I consider it mine!!

We have the fabulous Lindsey joining us for this challenge and she has made an amazing card. Her blog Bashful Blogging is well worth a visit, it is full of inspiring projects.

Then pop on over to Inkspirational and see what the DT have made to inspire you.

Enjoy!

I will enter this into:
The Card Concept-look at those background flowers, the colours and fan shapes-these are inspiration (my card is CAS and layered)

      

Inkspirational #180

Hi All

Time for our 'Word Prompt' challenge at Inkspirational an the word is:

TEXT

I decided to go with a background designer text paper that is for Xmas.

The background text paper was in my stash and has been for years! And the sentiment and hearts are all dies from STAMPlorations

 The 'Merry and Bright' is cut from embossed card but is quite hard to see here. And the little hearts were actually just lying on my craft table-made from glitter foam-that had been leftovers from cutting another die!!

I didn't add any dimension to this deliberately as I am thinking postage cost already!!

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Lindsey. Her blog Bashful Blogging is a delight to visit-I urge you to pop on over there and have a look!

Pop on over to Inkspirational and see what amazing designs my teamies have for you.

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Enjoy!

Inkspirational #179

Hi All

Enjoy!

I will enter this into:

Inkspirational #178

Hi All

And welcome to our first challenge at Inksprational for 2019.

This challenge has been chosen by our fabulous teamie Anila.

She wants us to make a card using:

Kraft

Here is what I came up with:

I used the background full floral stamp by CAS-ual Fridays-heat embossed onto the the kraft card. I die cut the 'smile' sentiment from this-also CAS-ual Fridays. Then die cut the sentiment again in fun foam to add dimension and used a burghaundy card base before the kraft base.

Have a look at the amazing DT kraft projects here and then get crafty and join us.

Enjoy!

Inkspirational #177-Word Prompt

Hi All

Our last challenge of the year at Inkspirational and this time we are asking you to CASE (copy and share everything) one of your own cards for 2018 or another crafter's card. Time to celebrate us all!

Gosh this was a hard one as there have been so many inspiring cards I have seen this year but opted for teamie and good friend Nonni's card

Here is my take:

Here is Nonni's amazing card:

You can see it on her blog here.

All products here are from STAMPlorarions. I have actually used the same die as Nonni but just used the little red hearts you get when you cut the die and made a very CAS design of her card.

Nonni actually sent this to me and I just loved it and it seemed just the right card to CASE.

Pop on over to Inkspirational and see what the team have made.

Then time to get CASEing!

Enjoy!
