INKspired Sketch Blog hop 68 -

Hi and welcome to the INKspired hop, my fingers are crossed hoping that it all goes smoothly

as I am still on the Gold Coast after attending Onstage on saturday!

You may have come across from Allison and a big thank you to Barb & Allison for putting their links up  early so that I could still participate.

Now here is the sketch that Teneale has given us to work with.

 Used the Marbled stamp with Sweet Sugarplum ink onto the same colour cardstock. A piece of Vellum and attached one of the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes - a Gold one.
Punched a circle from Very Vanilla and stamped with the Marbled stamp in Sweet Sugarplum ink and sponged around the edge. Stamped a reindeer from the Seasonal Chums and fussy cut.

Lastly I added a bow using the Copper Trim. I did change my card from the sketch as I forgot to go and look at it again.....

Thank you for coming by and now it is onto

Barb

Until next time

Happy stamping

WWYS #126 // Label Me Pretty and lemon sultana biscuits

Made some lemon sultana biscuits to give to a friend and made a matching birthday card to go with it. Love how the Label Me Pretty stampset and matching punch are so versatile.

For the Birthday Card

Pool Party as my base (10.5cm x21cm) folded in half and added  a  strip of Sweet Sugarplum which I used the Banner punch on both ends. Some Burlap ribbon, Silver Metallic thread and rhinestones. Used the Watercolor pencils to colour the flowers.

For the biscuit card

Pool Party cut at 3" x 6" and folded in half. Stamped the kitchen stamp onto  Pool Party and punched out. I then punched a piece of Sweet Sugarplum out and cut it in half and attached it to the back.

It was then attached to the 3" card. I then realised I had no Sweet Sugarplum striped grosgrain ribbon only Flirty Flamingo to tie it onto the cellophane bag.

ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog Hop -

Hi Everyone and welcome

to the ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog hop.

You may have hopped across from 
 Monique Fielder

At the end is an information box that explains what ESAD is all about.

It is always sad to see the retirement list but then we are always excited for the new product that is coming around the corner.

I have chosen to showcase the Balloon Adventures Bundle (page 4 & 5)

and the Party Animal Designer Series Paper

from the Occasions Catalogue.

I have loved using this bundle and papers!

Now here is my first card

 Just love Emerald Envy and Basic Black together

and the DSP.The Whisper White square was 7cm by 7cm

and the Basic Black was 7.4 by 7.4cm.

Maincard was 14.8cm by 21cm scored at 10.5cm

The Basic Black was 14.4cm by10.1cm.

The DSP was 14cm by 9.7cm

 Now here is the inside

For my next card I chose a shaker card 

using Bright colours.

Handy Hint - I used a bit more of the Foam Adhesive strips by adding some behind the balloons and under the banner as well. This stops the card from sagging and keeps the sprinkles all over the card - not just at the bottom. 

Also never start the foam adhesive strips at the bottom - start up the side and then down and around to the other side - stops them falling down!

and for my third card I chose softer colours of 
Sweet Sugarplum cardstock for the main card (love this colour) with Very Vanilla as the top layer!
The three layers were main card - 14.8cm by 21cm
Pool Party was 14.4cm by 10.1cm and
Very Vanilla was 14cm by 9.7cm

The balloons both on the front and inside were 
Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, Pool Party
and Sweet Sugarplum. 
Now for the inside I used Very Vanilla -
measured as 21cm by 13.7cm. Marked the halfway with a
pencil line softly drawn to ensure I centred the thinlit die and of course used the Magnetic platform with the Big Shot.

The Pool Party strips on each side were1cm by 13.8cm from the Subtles Designer Series Paperstack (another sad departure).

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy
all the great ideas for your cardmaking.

Now it is onto Cathy Pinchbeck
 and I can't wait to see
what she has used

Am loving the new In Colors - so started with 

Sweet Sugarplum cardstock as my main card base.

Then a piece of Whisper White which I attached a piece of

Sweet Sugarplum DSP to.

I then used the Bunch of Blossoms stampset and stamped some flower petals

using Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral ink

Old Olive ink for the leaves.

  Used the Blossom Builder Punch to cut out 

the petals and leaves.

Thank you for stopping by.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 39 -

Hi and welcome to our INKspired hop.

You may have joined from Allison and I can't wait to see her
 card this hop

Here is the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight....

 I used the Grateful Bunch stampset for the saying
and the flower on the background.

Then used Peekaboo Peach cardstock and ink for the 
card. Teamed it with Swirly Scribbles shape cut in 
Sweet Sugarplum cardstock for a contrast.

I cut a piece of Peekaboo Peach cardstock and threaded it thru the Swirly Scribbles cut out shape.
Finished off with the Peekaboo Peach Enamel Shapes at each end.

Thank you for stopping by

Now it is onto Louise to see what wonderful 
pink creation is waiting for us

Bye

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 38 -

Hello and welcome to our sunday night blog hop.

You may have hopped across from

the delightful Allison.Can't wait to see what she has made this

fortnight.

Grab a cuppa or something stronger, sit awhile and enjoy the hop with us.

Now here is the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight

Used the gorgeous Sweet Sugarplum cardstock and 

made a shaker card.

 Brights Sequin Assortment went inside and the wonderful Foam Adhesive strips kept them inside. 
Used the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits to create the opening and also cut a small swirl for the edge.
Love the new Very Vanilla Lace trim that went across the card.

Used the Happiest of Birthdays to You stamp from the
 Birthday Blooms stampset.
I wasn't happy that you would see the words inside the shaker 
so stamped them again
but still undecided on whether
that worked...

Thank you for stopping bye

Now it is onto Barbara

to see what gorgeous card she has made this fortnight......
