JAI #309: STAMPIN' UP! MADE WITH LOVE BABY CARD

I'm pleased to say that I'm back with the Just Add Ink team.  I have SO missed taking part in the weekly challenges while I've been without a craft space, and I'm looking forward to being involved again.

This week's challenge is to make a papercraft project, inspired by this gorgeous inspiration pic:

I think the colours on my monitor were a little 'off' when I first looked, as I saw Watermelon Wonder, Marina Mist, Flirty Flamingo (a new In Color, available 1st June) and Soft Sky.  Looking at the colours in the photo now, I see a bit of variation - but, I'll still share with you what I came up with!

This totally screamed "baby" blanket to me.  So, I made a baby card, with a background created by stamping the above-mentioned colours and Chalk Lines stamp set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have listed below all the current Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  Please keep in mind that Flirty Flamingo (ink and cardstock used here) is not available until 1st June.  As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator who attended the recent OnStage Local event in Sydney, I was able to pre-order some of the new goodies way in advance of the catalogue release - very exciting!

 

Make sure you check out the beautiful creations by the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team here.  We'd love to have you play along with us!

CRAFT ROOM PROGRESS

I thought I'd share with you the state of my craft room, as I try to find homes for all my stuff.  I have NO idea how I fitted all these craft supplies into my last craft room, that was about half the size!

I've been working steadily, unpacking boxes, and am over halfway there.

Here's my Big Shot station (the cupboards beneath are filling up with dies and embossing folders, non-SU! embellishments that just don't get used these days, plus my Stampin' Up! bags, and wrapping paper and gift bags):

This next picture shows the state of disarray my room is in!  Getting there ...

I look forward to sharing with you the "after" shots, when I have everything where I want it.

STAMPIN' UP! BALLOON CELEBRATION 18TH BIRTHDAY CARD

Last weekend we attended the 18th birthday party of a special young woman.  The birthday girl is rather partial to a bit of bling, Tiffany's, and the finer things in life.  I really love the card I made her, as it incorporates plenty of sparkle, and was the closest I could get to Tiffany blue!

I've used several stamps from my awesome Balloon Celebration stamp set, to create the background.  Silver glimmer paper, and Pool Party glitter ribbon, were "must-have" additions to the card! 

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card. (The Silver Encore inkpad, which I used to stamp the tiny stars, is retired.)  If you click on any of the thumbnail images, you'll be directed to my online store - why not buy everything yourself, to make a similar card? :)
