JAI 711: Just Add Inspiration

Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have an Inspiration Challenge, suggested to us by Kim.

Brrr! It's been very cold here in Adelaide, so the hot chocolate/winter Christmas image seems appropriate. I loved the colours in the image, especially the red, white and soft blue/grey. I decided to make some Christmas packaging.

I used a pre-made pillow box as my base. The gorgeous shimmery ribbon was from my 'that may come in handy' drawer, and was just the right length for the box. The flowers are from Kaisercraft, that I've had in my stash for a very long time. The colours worked perfectly with the challenge image.

The sentiment is from Brightest Glow, stamped in Boho Blue ink. I cropped it with a Tailor Made Tags die and popped it up on the top of the pillow box. The other flowers were tucked in underneath. I think it's pretty, and would be a great idea for a gift card or cash.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have created based on the Inspiration Photo over at the Just Add Ink blog. You can also add your card (or gift pack!) to the Linky. We'd love to see what you make.

JAI 636: Just Add Your Favourite

Hi!

Welcome back to another wonderful year of Just Add Ink challenges. As we do every year, we kick off the new challenges with a blog hop. Hopefully you've either started the hop here, or arrived from Tristan Dawes' blog. Either way, just keep on hopping until you get back to where you started.

For this challenge we are asking you to Just Add Your Favourite.... whatever you'd like! It could be your favourite colour, theme, stamp set - your imagination is the limit. I recently purchased a new stamp set that is based on one of my all-time favourite movies, The Sound of Music. It's from Scrappy Boy Stamps, and is called Climb Every Mountain.

I decided to recreate the iconic opening scene, and thought that a Bridge Fold Card would give my card the perfect dimension for the scene. I started by masking a horizon line and then stamping the mountains across the width of the card. These were ink using a blending brush and lots of masking. While the masks were in place, I also inked the sky using a template made from the cloud line die from the Basics Borders Dies. The trees are from Snowfront. The grass was also masked and inked. I splattered gold ink over the top, trying to get the look of flowers in the grass.

Maria was coloured using my Copic markers, as were the Edelweiss blooms.

The mountain part of the scene was recreated on the back of the card, where a message can be written to the recipient.

That's all from me and my favourite movie. Hmm, now I feel like watching it! While I go do that, please do keep going around our hop by jumping on over to Fiona Bradley's blog. I love her take on the favourite theme!

When you've finished hopping, get creating! You can link your card up for our challenge over on the Just Add Ink blog. So long, farewell!

JAI 635: Just Add Inspiration

Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the final Just Add Ink challenge for 2022. Hasn't it been a fabulous year of challenges? To wrap uo the year we have one final Inspiration Challenge, suggested to us by Nikki.

Don't the rich purple and gold decorations look amazing against that lush tree? My eye was caught by the two faceted purple baubles, so I attempted to recreate the look on a Christmas gift tag.

scissorspapercard, Just Add Ink, Stampin' Up!, Love Santa Tag Kit, Stitched Triangles Dies, Shimmer Paint, Christmas Tag

I started by inking some cardstock with Fresh Freesia, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss ink, blengins from light to dark across the card. I then cropped the card using my Stitched Triangles Dies. Using the Inspiration Photo as a guide, I laid out the triangles and adhered them to the tag base I'd created.

I used my Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint to splatter the front, and then added some leaves and a sentiment stamped using the Lave, Santa Tag kit stamp set. I couldn't resist adding a few loops of some Gold Thread.

To create my tag base, I took a piece of Whisper White card, folded it in half and cropped it with a Circle Die, ensuring that the die hung over the fold so that the two circles remained joined. A bit more stamping, and I was done!

This challenge will run for a fortnight and is a just for fun challenge over the Christmas/New Year Break. As always, you can link up your project over on the Just Add Ink blog - we'd love to see what you create using the photo for inspiration.

We'll be back in early January with a fun blog hop to kick off another year of Just Add Ink fun.

Bye for now,

JAI 624: Just Add A Diorama

Hi!

Welcome back for a new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have an extra-fun one for you!

Kerry has challenged us to make a Diorama card. I've gone a bit OTT with mine, but that doesn't mean that you have to. A diorama is a 3D replication of a scene, but it can be as complex or as simple as you'd like - you just need the layers and a scene.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Kindred Stamps, Just Add Ink, Treasure Hunter, Ocean Front, Tropical Thinlits, 3D Card, Pop Culture

I decided to create a jungle diorama scene for my hero to come running out of. I tried to create a rolling boulder chasing him, but I just couldn't get it to work to my satisfaction. The snake will have to do! I created the frame for my card using the cutting files in this tutorial. I inked each layer in increasingly darker shades of brown and green as I went backwards with the layers. The final layer is just black.

The leaves were cropped from green cardstock using my retired Tropical Thinlits. I used darker greens at the back and lighter as I moved forwards in the layers. The rocks on the ground are stamped using my Oceanfront stamps. The hero, snake and sentiment are from the Kindred Stamps set, called Treasure Hunter. I coloured the images with my Stampin' Blends.

I'm not sure who I'll give this card to yet. While it does fold somewhat flat, it would take a custom envelope to send it. It's 5" square and 1 1/2" deep! For now, it will just go on display in my stamping room!

We'd love for you to play along this week with us at Just Add Ink. Go crazy, or go simple, or anywhere in between in creating a diorama card to share with us. Pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog to see the rest of the Design Team's diorama cards, and then use the linky to add yours to the challenge.

Bron's Birthday Blog Hop - August

Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the second to last Birthday Blog Hop for Bronwyn Eastley, as she celebrates her 60th birthday. If you've followed Bron for a while, you know that she's the Queen of Fancy Fold cards. She creates the most amazing cards! Fittingly, this month's theme is Fancy Folds!

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Be Dazzling SP, Twist And Pop Card

My daughter, Ada, celebrated her 17th Birthday last month, and she'd always talked about the ABBA song, Dancing Queen. I decided to make her card in this theme. The front pink panel was a download that I purchased from Etsy and printed to card front size. I then purchased a disco themed SVG bundle, which included the mirror ball. I used my Scan'n'Cut to crop it to size. I used a circle die to cut an opening in the pink panel so that the Be Dazzling paper would show through. I think it makes a fabulous mirror ball!

The inside of the card is where the Fancy Fold shines through - some more images from the disco SVG pack were used to decorate the Twist And Pop Fancy Fold. The text at the top was another Etsy purchase.

Here's a video so that you can see how the card opens up. Hopefully it works! I'm pleased to say that Ada loved it, and it has pride of place on her desk.

I wanted to get my money's worth out of the Etsy purchase, so she also got a custom made top. She hasn't worn it yet, but it will likely get an airing in summer.

And last, but not least, was the cake topper!

That's me done for tonight, but please do continue your way around our Blog Hop. There's also an Instagram Hop - you'll find the details over on Bron's blog. Next up though is my Kiwi friend, Jan Clothier.

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI 576: Just Add A Moving Element

Hi!

Welcome once again to my blog for the start of the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week it's one that Kelly and I dreamed up - to add a moving element to a card.

What do we mean by this? It's simply something that moves on your card. Some examples may be things like a wobbler spring, a spinner or a slider of some sort - if it moves, it counts! I've always been intrigued by the idea of the Theatre or Stage card, so that's what I decided to make.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Kindred Stamps, Masters Of Magic, In Good Taste DSP, Garden Gateway Dies, Rainbow Builder Dies, Theatre Card

I used a combination of a few different tutorials to make the base of my card. Most Theatre cards are landscape orientation, but for the idea I had I needed a portrait orientation. I used the wooden and brick papers from the In Good Taste DSP, as I was trying to recreate a magical alleyway that opens at the tap of a special umbrella.

Here is the card with the brick panels opened up to reveal the alleyway behind. The gigantic character is from a Kindred Stamps set, called Masters Of Magic. I coloured him with my Stampin' Blends. He's an earthy character, so I stuck with Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Soft Suede.

I was reasonably happy with my first attempt at a Theatre card, but I think I'll have another go at it soon. What Moving Element do you think you'll add to your card? Will you use the opportunity to try something new, or revisit an old favourite? I can't wait to see. You can link your card for our challenge over on the Just Add Ink Blog, where you will also find the rest of this week's Design Team cards. We had a lot of fun with this challenge!

Colour Creations: Granny Apple Green

Hi!

Thanks for joining me for this week's Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are looking at Granny Apple Green. It's a lovely, happy green from the Brights colour family. I have broken my feature colour only rule for this blog hop, as I wanted to show you a very special card that I made recently for my youngest son Hudson's birthday. He loves Shaun The Sheep, and his favourite episode is called 'Still Life'. When I saw the Counting Sheep stamps and the coordinating Sheep Dies in the recent Sale-A-Bration catalogue, I decided I would recreate the scene below for his card.

In the episode, the farmer wants to do some painting, but when he goes off in search of some more white paint, the sheep have a lot of fun. They recreate some famous artworks, but with a 'sheepish' perspective. The canvas ends up as a riot of colour, so that's the one I chose to create for Hudson's card.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Colour Creations, Counting Sheep, Music From The Heart, Sweet AS A Peach, All Dressed Up Dies, Sheep Dies, Stampin' Blends, Multi-Tier Pop Up Card

This fold is called a Multi-Tiered Pop Up card, and I thought that the layers and dimension suited my purposes perfectly. After I created the card base from Granny Apple Green card, I used Dimensionals to adhere some Early Espresso die cut fence panels to the card. The sentiment is from Music From The Heart, cropped with an All Dressed Up Die. The die cut clouds and sun were adhered to some strips of Window Sheet before being adhered to the base.

The sheep were stamped with Memento ink and then I coloured the legs and face with my Dark Basic Black Blend. To achieve the look of paint splatters, I stamped the little flower from Blossoms In Bloom in a range of bright colours over the flower, and the square of Whisper White that is the 'canvas'. I then adhered them to the base, some directly to the front or back of each layer, and some with Dimensionals, so that I could get the maximum out of the layering.

I repeated the same ideas on the back, however, looking at the photo, I realise that I forgot to give this sheep some paint splatters. Oh well!! The easel was created by chopping up another die cut fence piece, this time in Crumb Cake. I had a lot of fun making this card, and Hudson seemed to love it - he hooted at it in the way he does when he likes something, and gave it a bog long look. I was happy!

A very big thanks to my lovely friend Andrea for the loan of the stamps and dies so that I could make this special card. You're now off to he blog to see what gorgeousness she has created for us tonight.

Another lovely friend, Catherine Proctor, is our host for tonight, so pop on over to her blog if you run into trouble with any of the links, or if you'd like to see a full list of tonight's Hoppers.

CTC 335: CASE A 3D Project

Hi!

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend, and thanks for choosing to end it with the CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Is there a better way to end the weekend?

This week we are asking you to choose a 3D project from the Annual Catalogue to CASE. There are lots of them, all scattered through the catalogue.

My eye was caught by this ombre gift bag on page 87. I loved the bright colour of the bag and the white-embossed cookies scattered across the front. I decided to convert these ideas into card format, rather than a gift bag.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, CASEing The Catty, Joy To The World Paper Pumpkin, Oh So Ombre DSP, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Shaker Card, Christmas Card

I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss Oh So Ombre DSP. I could have done the ink blending myself, but I decided to give myself a break and cheat with the DSP. I cropped the centre rectangle out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I left the rectangle in situ and stamped the flower from the Joy To The World Paper Pumpkin kit in Golden Glitz Delicata Ink repeatedly across the front, matching the gift bag.

The gold ink does not show up well in photos, but it's gorgeous on real life! I used the two stamped pieces to create the shaker card, filled with gold sequins.

I stamped the flower in gold ink again on the inside - it's so pretty!

Do you pay much attention to the 3D Projects in the catalogues? Now's your chance! You could choose to make a 3D project yourself, or convert some ideas from the project into a card, as I have done. Your imagination is your only limit! Once you've made your project, just upload a photo to our Facebook Group.

Next up on our Blog Hop tonight is the very clever Julia Quinn, who has turned her 3D project into something different - you won't want to miss it!

Bye for now,

Tina

Colour Creations: Balmy Blue

Hi!

It's Colour Creations Blog Hop time again! This week it's Balmy Blue's turn. I'm very much a 'blue' girl, and this is probably the shade of blue that I reach for most often when I'm crafting. Today's card was made for my niece, who turns 15 this week. She and her mum (my sister) taught me and my other sister how to do macrame over Zoom last year, and so when I thought of a card for her, I wanted to include some macrame on it.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Colour Creations, Sweet As A Peach, You're A Peach DSP, Suit & Tie Dies, Macrame

LOL, yes, that was handmade, using a bamboo skewer and some retired Thick Very Vanilla Baker's Twine. My fingers aren't nimble enough to use standard Baker's Twine! The Balmy Blue DSP is from the You're A Peach DSP pack. I popped it up over the Thick Very Vanilla base so that I could attach the macrame piece to the card. I first adhered the DSP to a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock to give it enough strength.

The sentiment is from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set, cropped with a Suit & Tie Die.

Like all good macrame crafters, nothing gets wasted, so the offcuts from the front piece were used to make a feather for the inside. It's going to be a thick card to send, but it's for someone special, so that's OK.

That's all from me for now, but please do continue on with the Blog Hop. Next up is my lovely friend, Di, who grows the most delicious apples and makes the most wonderful cards.

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI 551: Just Add 3D

Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week Rachael has challenged us to add 3D. Hmmm! Thinking cap on!

I decided that this might be a good opportunity to make a 3D card. I was originally searching for a tutorial for that card that looks like a stack of blocks. As you can probably guess, I had no luck as I couldn't think of the name of it, and Google wasn't helpful with the descriptors that I was using to search for it. I did come across a Bay Window card, though, and as it's another Fancy Fold I've wanted to try for a while, it was the winner.

scissorspapercard, Stampin' Up!, Just Add Ink, Peaceful Moments, In Good Taste DSP, Forever Gold SP, Fancy Fold, Bay Window Card

Most Bay Window cards that I've seen don't actually have a window in the front, which seems a little strange to me! I had the idea of using one of the Forever Gold laser cut pieces to frame the window. Great idea, but as I only had hexagonal ones left, it did make it a little more trickier to cut the opening. I got there in the end though. I was even able to get the sentiment in the right spot to be seen through the window. Go me!

Here you can see how the front of the card sits out from the back. The Forever Gold leaf to the side holds it in place, but the card also folds flat for easy postage. I think that it would be really cool to create a little scene on the inside to view through the window - I will have to try that another time.

Here's the inside of the card. I used another of the Forever Gold leaves on the inside. It's funny how you can be a bit stingy using these during the year, but when you realise that they are about to retire you are suddenly throwing them around like confetti, LOL! Luckily, the In Good Taste DSP is carrying over.

That's all from me tonight, but please do head on over to the Just Add Ink blog to see the rest of this week's Design Team 3D projects. There's a fabulous mix of dimensional projects! You can also enter your 3D project up using our Linky. Can't wait to see what you make!

Bye for now,

Tina
