Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop - "Nature"

 

Welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop for February, this month's theme is "Nature ". I am so excited to show you what I have created, but I hope you are ready for lot's of great inspiration.

Whether you are starting here or hopped from another blog you are currently visiting Tracy Bish from Australia. I hope you enjoy my card.

I have really used the Dandy Garden DSP for inspiration on this card, and kept it very simple, I love the ombre ink blending in Bumblebee ink, leaving the bottom dark and working the Blending Brushes to be quite light at the top.

The other great element on the card is using the Dragonfly punch to add a few around the card. Oh and did you see my coloured rhinestones, Stampin Blends can create an embellishment in any colour!

Ink and Inspiration June

Welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop for June, this month's theme is "Focus On Tools", I am excited to show you what I have created, but I hope you are ready for lot's of great inspiration.

Whether you are starting here or hopped from another blog you are currently visiting Tracy Bish from Australia. I hope you enjoy my project.

This theme came at the perfect time, I had these scraps on my desk from a Tips and Tricks video about my favourite technique "Heat Embossing", so what a great way to use these to create a card.

                                                  

  VIEW VIDEO TUTORIAL HERE

The video tutorial walks through the steps of Heat Embossing using the Heat Tool. This tool is versatile, it can dry your projects, heat emboss on delicate vellum and card.

Stampin Up carry a great range of Embossing Powders, White, Clear, Gold and Silver. Using the clear embossing powder also allows you to use any Stampin Up Classic ink to emboss in as well.

My card has pieces of vellum embossed with copper (no longer available but Gold would look great too), Whisper White card embossed with Old Olive Ink and Clear powder, Crumb Cake card embossed with copper, Basic Black card embossed with White Embosssing Powder.

I hope this card has given you some inspiration, please follow the blog hop by clicking on the links below.

Ornate Style Spotlight Card!

Welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop for May, this month's theme is "New Annual Catalogue", I am excited to show you what I have created, but I hope you are ready for lot's of great inspiration.

Whether you are starting here or hopped from another blog you are currently visiting Tracy Bish from Australia. I hope you enjoy my project.

The Ornate Garden Suite was an early release from the Stampin Up Annual Catalogue. This suite has two bundles (stamp and die sets), Ribbon, Designer Series Paper, a 3D Embossing Folder, and Embellishments. It is so nice to play with the new products early.

The technique used on this card is called the "Spotlight Technique" where one or more pieces of the card are highlighted and given dimension. Die cutting the circle with the Stitched Shape Dies and the Scallop Mango Melody card with the Layering Circle Dies, but both could be cut with the layering circle dies.

Colouring the circle image with Stampin Blends is so easy, and it just pops off the card... So bright and vibrant on the Thick Whisper White card.

The ribbon and rhinestones have also been coloured with the Stampin Blends to tie the card together.

This bundle can now be purchased through my Online  Store, and any item purchased from this suite using this months Host Code with receive a 90 Card PDF Tutorial Bundle as an extra FREE gift.( You will also receive my Handmade card + the monthly Bundle Tutorial)

Ink And Inspiration Blog Hop April

Welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop for April, this month's theme is "Gratitude", I am excited to show you what I have created, but I hope you are ready for lot's of great inspiration.

Whether you are starting here or hopped from another blog you are currently visiting Tracy Bish from Australia. I hope you enjoy my project.

I wanted to create a fairly basic card, that would still look good and also get the message across. Using mostly Neutral tones for this card as the word "Gratitude" always reminds me of "Thanksgiving" and "Fall or Autumn", that is just where my head goes too.

If your like me, I have to have the word dies, that make light work and the "Thank You" die is perfect for this card. This die can be found in the Stampin Up Annual Catalogue on page 196.

The colour combo for this card is Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss, Basic Black and Whisper White.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card, please be sure to see what other inspiration everyone has ready for you, please click on the links below!
