JAI #348: JUST ADD ... OMBRE

Rochelle has set us a challenge, at Just Add Ink this week, to Just Add Ombre to a papercraft project.

I kept my use of ombre a bit simple, inking up some hearts with my Bermuda Bay Ombre stampin' pad.  So Saffron would be my least used Stampin' Up! colour, but I enjoyed using it on this card, as it is one of the colours in the gorgeous Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper I'd chosen to use.

I have listed below all the Stampin' Up! products used to make my card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, clicking on one of the thumbnail images will take you direct to my online store.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team ombre creations; there's some gorgeous inspiration for you here.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!  We would love for you to create something using an ombre effect, and link your project up on the Just Add Ink blog.

STAMPIN' UP! SWEET CUPCAKE BIRTHDAY CARD

After my card class yesterday (which was awesome!), I was inspired to create in my craft room before getting dinner ready.

One of my "surprise loves" in Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Catalogue is the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper stack.  I say "surprise", because it didn't jump out at me from the catalogue, but in real life, it is gorgeous.  Here's a pic of the designs in the stack:

I have paired one of the Peekaboo Peach/Calypso Coral designs with stamped images from the Sweet Cupcake stamp set (first time this has seen ink, and it's rather fun):

JAI #347: STAMPIN' UP! TASTY TRUCKS

Kim has set a colour challenge at Just Add Ink this week.

These colours, together, had me confounded for a little while.  I don't usually like to combine purple with pink, or with red, so was a bit stumped.  However, once I decided to use the cute little food truck stamp from Tasty Trucks (a stamp set we can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration), I had a lot of fun incorporating all the colours.  In order to fit in Pear Pizzazz, I placed my little truck on grass, rather than asphalt.

I used blender pens, and ink pooled in the lids of my inkpads, to colour the image.  After stamping tiny cupcakes all over the Rose Red piece of card, I ran the card through my Big Shot, with the Festive embossing folder, to give a more, well, festive, texture!

I have listed below all the products used to make my card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, clicking on one of the thumbnail images will take you direct to my online store.  *NB:  Tasty Trucks may not be purchased; it is available to earn for free, with a $90 product purchase.

The rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations, using this colour combo, can be found here.  We'd love for you to join us, by creating something with the challenge colours, and linking up on the Just Add Ink blog.
