JAI #251: GIFTS OF KINDNESS 'THANK YOU' CARD

Patrice has set this week's Just Add Ink challenge, to "Just Add ... Thank You" to a papercraft project.

My love affair with Stampin' Up!'s Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper continues!  I've paired Sahara Sand with Pink Pirouette for today's card, and just love the soft colour combo.

The tiny epoxy heart that anchors the sentiment has been coloured using the darkest of the three Pink Pirouette Blendabilities.  I did try using the lighter colours, but found the saturation of colour wasn't dark enough - I think I should have been a bit more patient, though, and let the colours develop, as this pink is a bit darker than I would've liked!  I'll know for next time. :)

The rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team have come up with a great variety of awesome cards to inspire you, so make sure you check them out.  We would love to see your "thank you" creations, too - you can link up at the Just Add Ink blog.

LOVE IS KINDNESS, IN RED - PART 2

When I had out my supplies to make my first card of the year the other day, I decided to make a second card in the same colourway.  I have mixed things up a bit, but used the same papers, ribbons and, of course, my Love is Kindness stamp.  I think I might like this one even a bit more than the original!

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card; they can be purchased direct from my online store, if you click on any of the images.  Tomorrow I'll have one more Love is Kindness card to share, before moving on to other things. :)

STAMPIN' UP! BACK TO BLACK, COLOURED WITH BLENDABILITIES

I am loving Stampin' Up!'s Back to Black Designer Series Paper - not only for its striking graphic designs, but because of its versatility.

The other night I was in a "colouring in" sort of mood.  I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper that looked something like this:

...... then I set about colouring it with a few different colours of Blendabilities.  I knew I wanted to use Hello Honey ribbon on a card, and decided yellows and purples look nice together, and this is what I came up with:

Cute, don't you think?  You can custom-create your own Designer Series Papers ... the possibilities are endless!
