JAI #353: STAMPIN' UP! CHEERFUL CRITTERS

I've gone a bit "cutesy" for this week's Just Add Ink challenge:

I have my paired Cheerful Critters stamp set with some papers from the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack.  I'm not so sure about the sentiment I've used (is it common to say this in the US?), but I am sure whoever receives this card will know it was given in love!  It wasn't until I had finished making this card, that I realised Cheerful Critters is retired ....  so I can't link to it in my online store.  If you'd like to buy a little-used set, let me know!

My stitched oval is cut from Watercolor Paper ... because my original plan was to watercolour the bunny.  I changed tack, though, and used paper-piecing for both the bunny and his/her top.  The ribbon used for the bow has a slight cream tinge to it, complementing the Watercolor Paper well.  A bit of playful ribbon treatment, and a Real Red enamel heart, completes the design.

I hope this card puts a smile on your face.  Make sure you check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's "critter creations" here.

JAI #352: STAMPIN' UP! TIE DYED CUSTOM TEE BIRTHDAY CARD

Nikki has come up with this fabulous colour combination, for our Just Add Ink challenge this week:

I've made a playful, colourful, birthday card that is waaaaay removed from my usual "comfort zone" of masculine cards!

I used all three colours of ink on the tie dye design ... and am quite pleased that the wall of my craft room looks great as a Smoky Slate backdrop to my card!

Listed below are the products I used to make this card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, just click on one of the thumbnail images, and you'll be taken direct to my online store (for Australian residents only).

Make sure you check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations, with these colours, here.  We hope you're inspired to play along with us!
