INKspired Sketch Challenge 122 -

Welcome to another INKspired sketch blog hop this sunday night. Teneale  has given us an interesting sketch this fortnight.

Now you may have hopped across from Julie Martin and I can't wait to see what she has made.

Now I am using Jar of Flowers stampset on page 12 for tonight. Started with a base of Misty Moonlight and then another piece embossed using the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder

Added Magenta Madness behind the whisper white panel and then a piece of vellum.

Clear embossed the words Happy Birthday from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stampset. I was actually going to use white but picked up the wrong container.. Cut out Misty Moonlight scallop using the Budding Bloom Dies. Coloured the flowers using Stampin' Blends.

Added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to my card. For the jar I stamped it in Seaside Spray and stamped the branches in Pear Pizzaz .

Thank you for stopping by

Now it is onto
Kozue Smith

Until next time

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

INKspired Challenge 120 - Ornate Garden

 

Hi and welcome to our sunday night INKspired blog hop. This week Teneale has us all using the Ornate Garden Speciality Designer Series Paper.

You may have joined my blog from the lovely Allison McLeod and I love seeing what she makes each fortnight.

Started with a main card of Bumblebee cardstock. I then cut Basic Black cardstock and layered two pieces of Ornate Garden DSP to it see below.

I embossed a piece of Bumblebee cardstock with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder

and attached it to the bottom of the Basic Black cardstock.

I used one of the small Ornate Layer Dies and cut out a piece of Basic Black.

Stamped Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments stampset. I cut this Whisper White cardstock using the Hippo & Friends Dies which are so versatile.

Simple card that shows off the lovely Ornate Garden speciality DSP

Thank you for stopping by. 

Now it is onto Kozue Smith who makes the most amazing cards.

Until next time

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

Kylie's International Blog Highlight August 2020 - Hippo thanks

Hello and welcome everyone to my blog. I have been enjoying playing with the cute Hippo from Hippo Happiness and decided to join in 

Kylie Bertucci’s International Stampin’ Up!® Blog Highlights for August  which has the theme of Thank You. It is taking the time to make a card for a loved one or a friend, simply saying thanks 

especially when we have family & friends locked down in Melbourne at the moment.

Started with Magenta Madness as my base card. Added a piece of Bumblebee cardstock to a 3 inch strip of floral from the Flowers for every Season DSP. I embossed this piece with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.

Stamped my hippo using the stamparatus in Flirty Flamingo and Magenta Madness (stamped off once) - so cute. Used the Hippo & Friends Dies to cut out my hippo and the Magenta Madness piece.

The word thanks came from the Beauty Abounds stampset.

Don't forget to go and look at all the beautiful cards that have been put up - just click here will take you straight there.

Now don't forget to click on the hearts to vote for 5 of the cards.

Thank you for stopping by

Until next time

Happy stamping, stay safe and

INKspired Colour Combo Challenge 118 -

Hello and welcome to another INKspired hop - this sunday night we are featuring a colour challenge.

Now you may have hopped across from Allison McLeod and I can't wait to see what she does with the colours below

Well I have to tell you that I found it hard to combine these colours together - they are definitely not my favourite combination!

Started with all the colours on the table - that is cardstock and ink just wasn't doing it for me!

So I picked a stampset - Beautiful Moments and stamped out some of the scenes from it and played.

Started with Soft Suede as my main card base. Added a strip of Terracotta Tile to Mint Macaron and embossed it with Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder which is so pretty.

Cut out the lady with an oval from the Layering Ovals Dies and coloured with my Stampin' Blends. Backed the whisper white with a scalloped oval of Pretty Peacock and popped it up on dimensionals.

I used the words from the stampset, flowers and the birds for the inside of my card.

Thank you for stopping by.

Now it is onto Kozue Smith and love what she does

Until next time

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