JAI #319: JUST ADD INSPIRATION

It's Friday, which means a new challenge is up at Just Add Ink,  Here's the inspiration pic Di is challenging us to use, in creating a papercraft project:

I used this pic as inspiration for a birthday card for my Dad.  My take on it is quite literal; please excuse my lack of creativity on this one!

In hindsight, I think I should have stamped the wreath on Crumb Cake card ... but, it was the most beautifully aligned impression of the leaves and berries, and die, that I've ever managed, so I didn't want to do it over!  LOL.

The Antique brad and Jute Ribbon (which I cut into a narrow strip) are retired.  Listed below are all the current Stampin' Up! products I used, and which you may buy from my online store by clicking on one of the thumbnail images.

JAI #318: A STAMPIN' UP! SYMPATHY CARD

Tina has set us the challenge, at Just Add Ink, to Just Add S to a papercraft project.

I've (typically) gone to town on this one, incorporating Sweet Sugarplum, silver, sponging, squares (and even a scalloped square) on a sympathy card.  I could also claim "sparkle", as I used a silver metallic enamel shape.  I just loved making this card, and hope you like it.

We're off on a sunny, shopping, and relaxing holiday for the next week or so ... but I'll have a blog post or two scheduled to publish in my absence.

Make sure you check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's "S" creations.

I have listed below all the current Stampin' Up! products used to make my card.  If you'd like to purchase them for yourself, clicking on a thumbnail image will take you to my online store.

JAI #317: A COLOUR CHALLENGE

We have a beautiful (Spring-like, I think) colour combo to work with, at Just Add Ink this week, thanks to Kim.

I have used a number of new Stampin' Up! products on my card.  I'm a sucker for the enamel shapes (I've run out of one colour already!), and love that the new paper doilies are a little smaller, and better sized for a card front.

After colouring my stamped images with blender pens, I painted clear Wink of Stella over the bird ... here is a better view:

Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's creations over at Just Add Ink.  We'd love for you to combine these colours on a papercraft project, and share with us on the Just Add Ink site!
