JAI #189 : A COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week's Just Add Ink challenge, set by Kim, is to use this fabulous colour combination on your papercraft project:

 

 

I have decorated a box, to contain a set of five cards, all designed to match the box.  Here's the top of the box:

 

 

 

Stamps: Polka Dot Pieces, Chalk Talk, Dictionary

Card: Whisper White, Perfect Plum

DSP: Naturals Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper, Raspberry Ripple Patterns Designer Series Paper

Ink: Crumb Cake, Perfect Plum and Raspberry Ripple stampin' pads

Other: Deco Labels framelits, Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon, Itty Bitty Shapes punch, Basic Pearls, Bird Builder punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Label Bracket punch, sponge daubers, glue dots, multipurpose liquid glue

 

 

I then used common elements to decorate five basic "For You" cards, that I think would make a nice gift for someone.  I've used some Perfect Plum Designer Series Paper, Perfect Plum and Crumb Cake card, plus all the 'ingredients' used above.

 

 

 

 

Make sure you check out how the other Design Team members used these colours - there are some beautiful creations to inspire you.  We hope you'll join in the fun this week, and link up your card/project at Just Add Ink.

SC 086/13: STAMPIN' UP! POLKA-DOT PIECES THANK YOU CARD

I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer at Sunny Challenges & Creations for their challenge going live today:

If you're a regular follower of my blog, you probably know that I seldom deviate from a rectangular card - sometimes I switch from a top-fold to a side-fold, but the occasional square card is about as adventurous as I get! 

I enjoyed this challenge, as I've just got my hot little hands on Stampin' Up!'s Deco Labels Collection framelits - and they are GORGEOUS.  My card base was made with the largest of the four dies, and it makes a rather tiny card - oh-so-sweet.  This card is only 10 cm x 9 cm in size.

Stamps: Polka-Dot Pieces, Summer Silhouettes, Itty Bitty Banners

Card: Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

DSP: Smoky Slate Patterns DSP

Ink: Smoky Slate and Basic Gray stampin' pads, Daffodil Delight stampin' pad and marker

Other: Deco Labels Collection framelits, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Bird Builder punch, Bitty Banners framelits, sponge daubers, Multipurpose liquid glue

 

 

Make sure you take a look at the Design Team's samples, for inspiration.  We'd love to see your 'shaped' creations.
