STAMPIN' UP!'S SHELTERING TREE FOR JAI #261

I'm back from Stampin' Up!'s last-ever Inspire.Create.Share event in Australia, but I can't say I've fully adjusted to being back home yet!  Stampin' Up! put on such awesome events, that my head is just spinning with all the excitement of the upcoming new Annual Catalogue (out 2nd June).

A few favourite products will be retiring before the new catalogue comes out.  I've used Naturals White cardstock, and one of my favourite paper-piercing templates on this card; they're both going to retire on 2nd June.  Thankfully, there will be awesome new replacements, so I'll try not to be too sad!

Trish has set a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week.  Take a look at the gorgeous inspiration pics, for us to use as a starting block for a card or other papercraft project:

I've pulled out my somewhat neglected Island Indigo stampin' pad and cardstock, and used earthy neutrals to contrast with the bold colour.  Here's my card for this week's challenge:

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products used to make my card; if you click on any of the products, you'll be taken to my online store.

The rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations are A-MA-ZING, so be sure to check them out here.

STAMPIN' UP! CONGRATULATIONS CARD, FOR JAI #259

This week at Just Add Ink, Patrice has challenged us to "Just Add ... Sequins" to our papercraft project.

I had in mind a way to use a whole string of Bermuda Bay sequins across a card, but couldn't get the card to look ANYTHING like it looked in my head, so canned that idea!  I've instead taken individual sequins off my roll of Bermuda Bay sequin trim, and am much happier with the result.

All of the fun products I used to create this card are listed below, and if you click on any of the icons, you'll be taken to my online store.

Make sure you check out the rest of the beautiful Design Team creations.  We'd love to see your card or scrapbook page, using sequins, linked up over at Just Add Ink, too!

JAI #254: STAMPIN' UP! CHEERFUL CRITTERS FOR A COLOUR CHALLENGE

Kim has set a colour challenge at Just Add Ink this week.  The idea is to use this colour combination on a papercraft project:

I have used a couple of super-cute stamp sets from Stampin' Up! to make a card that could be used as a congratulations, encouragement or birthday card:

Make sure you check out the awesome creations of the rest of the Just Add Ink design team, using these colours.  We hope you're inspired to play along with us!
