INKspired Sale-a-Bration showcase challenge 130 -


Hello and welcome to another sunday night INKspired blog hop. We are showcasing Sale-a-bration products but what to choose. You may have come across from Allison McLeod and I can't wait to see what she uses. I decided to keep my cards simple and let the designer series paper be the star - Flower & Field Designer Series Paper that is just beautiful on page 10 of SAB catalogue- finishes 28th February this year or while supplies last - so be quick.




I started with a Whisper White base card, then added a layer Of Basic Black cardstock and the gorgeous piece of the DSP with all the flowers. I added the white embossed words from the Prized Peony stampset  from the main catalogue on page 84. Then some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.



For my second card I stayed with the same dsp and added the bird from the  SAB Touch of Ink stampset on page 12.





Stamped the bird on Whisper White cardstock and cut out using the Stitched Shapes circle. Placed a scalloped circle behind it of crumbcake. Coloured my bird using Stampin' Blends. Added the words from the stampset and it was done. Simply but effective and you could recreate this easily.

Thank you for stopping by and now it is onto Kozue Smith


Until next time
Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.

INKspired Sketch Challenge Blog hop 129 -


 Hello and welcome to 2021 - let's hope this is a better year for us all.

You may have hopped across from Julie Martin and I can't wait to see what she does with this sketch.

Teneale has given us a sketch for tonight which is always good to ease into the new year with.


Now I started with a Sale-A-Bration set  called Berry Blessings and the Blueberry stamps made me want to play with them - love Blueberrys - doesn't everyone! Now this set comes as a bundle with some gorgeous designer series paper called Berry Delightful - on page 14.



Wanted to keep the card simple with lots of white space. Basic Black cardstock sitting behind the first layer of Whisper White. The leaves were done in Pear Pizzaz and the berries were done in Misty Moonlight full strength and then for the solid image I stamped off once to get some definition.


Just a close up of the words as they are special and of course my perfect bow.


Thank you for popping in and now it is onto 




Until next time
Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.
