JAI #264: STAMPIN' UP! TAP TAP TAP, BOHEMIAN STYLE

It's a sketch challenge over at Just Add Ink this week.  Kim has provided the following sketch, to use as a starting point for a card, or other papercraft project:

 

 

I've used a bit of creative licence and used a square, rather than round, focal panel ... and have added a second 'banner'.  The soon-to-be-released (2nd June!) Bohemian Designer Series Paper features on my card, and dictates the colours I 've used.  The sweet little Blossom Accent (resin flower) is another sneak peek, available to buy (in a pack of embellishments in all of the new In Colors) from 2nd June.  The colour of the flower, Delightful Dijon, is a great complement to the Hello Honey quilted ribbon, don't you think?

 

 

 

I've listed below all the current Stampin' Up! products used on my card, but couldn't include the Designer Series Paper or Blossom Accent; they'll be available in my online store from 2nd June.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations this week; gorgeous, as always!  I feel very lucky to be part of such a talented team.

JAI #247: JUST ADD LOVE, WITH A TAG SKETCH

Yippee - our Just Add Ink challenges have returned, for another year of fun and inspiration!

We have three new team members, making their "debut" in our first challenge of the year.  We (13 of us in all) are taking part in a blog hop, to share our creations.   Our theme for this week's challenge is "Just Add Love", with a little added twist of using a tag, as per this sketch:

You may have come from Di's blog, but if not, you'll get to see her gorgeous creation as you make your way around the blog hop today.  We've each linked, at the bottom of our blog posts, to the next person in the 'loop', so you'll soon get to see what we all have to share with you.


The card I've made is a bit of "patterned paper overload", but I had a lot of fun with my new Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper stack.  Such cute patterns, I couldn't help but mix them up a bit!

 

 

At the very bottom of my post, I've listed all the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.

 

The next stop on today's blog hop is Chantell - make sure you check out what she has to share, then keep on hopping!  You can get to her blog by either clicking on her name (in the line above), or clicking on the graphic below:

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for joining us today!  We hope to provide you with lots of inspiration for Valentine's Day, or any other occasion on which you wish to express your love to someone special.

STAMPIN' UP! TAP TAP TAP BIRTHDAY

Today is my sister's birthday.  I had a lot of fun making Lynda's card, using several new 'toys' from the Stampin' Up! catalogue.

This is the first time I've inked up my new Tap Tap Tap stamp set - such a cute, fun set.  The set doesn't come with a birthday sentiment, so I used my old faithful Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  Because the "Happy Birthday" was too wide to fit on the typewriter paper, I inked the "happy" first with my Calypso Coral marker, and stamped that ... then, using my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig, was able to stamp the "birthday" (also isolated by colouring with the marker) directly beneath it.

 

Stamps: Tap Tap Tap, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Card: Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Very Vanilla

DSP: Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper

Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Tuxedo Black Memento inkpad, Calypso Coral marker, Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate Blendabilities

Other: Itty Bitty Accents punch, Spiral Border punch, Stamp-a-Ma-Jig, Neutrals and Brights candy dots, sponge dauber, Calypso Coral seam binding, glue dots

 

 

Just for today, my sister and I are twins; we celebrate being the same age for one day of every year; tomorrow's MY birthday! :)
