Feathery Inspiration JAI#236

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Melbourne is a very windy day today and hoping to reach 29 degrees, so I will quickly share a card I have made for the Just Add Ink ‘Feathery Inspiration‘ Challenge before heading out to a family BBQ!

I love this colour combination and needed to make a card for my friends birthday next week, and guess what her favourite colours are? Yes, blues and greens!!!

Flower Patch Peacock

I started with a card base of Bermuda Bay and a layer of coordinating DSP. I then stamped the Flower Patch Photopolymer Stamps starting with Pool Party, then Pistachio Pudding then Bermuda Bay. I used the coordinating dies Flower Fair to die cut the images. The body of the peacock is Pacific Point card stock.

I used the 1/2″ & 3/8″ circle punches and the heart is from the Owl Builder Punch.

I added some rhinestones to the feathers for some more interest and who doesn’t love a bit of bling?!!!.

I added the sentiment from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set in Pacific Point and used the small oval punch.

Peacock Flower Patch

The inside of the card I stamped an image from the Bordering Blooms stamp set in Memento Black ink then coloured with the coordinating Blendabilities.

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this challenge.

Why don’t you give a challenge a go, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

PS I got an Honourable Mention for this creation!!!

Bloom with Hope & Blendabilities

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Bloom with Hope is bound to be a stamp set any Hostess will want to purchase with their Hostess Dollars when they gather some friends together for a Stampin’ party! Here is one example of how easy it is to use, colouring with the Blendabilities markers. This takes us all back to our childhood, colouring in!!!!

Bloom with Hope

I used Wisteria Wonder card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is white card stock embossed with the decorative dots embossing folder. The DSP is from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.

I love the little banner of silver glimmer paper to just add the right amount of sparkle and the pearls for a touch of class!

Sneak Peek ~ Blendabilities & In This Together stamp set

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Today I share with you some cards using the new Stampin’ Up! alcohol markers, Blendabilities and a new stamp set in the upcoming annual catalogue, In This Together.

I am just loving this stamp set, which has 3 stamps, but so far I have only used one of them!

I have stamped each of the images in Memento Black Ink which is also new to the Stampin’ Up! range, for specific use with the Blendabilities. Stazon will not work with these alcohol marker, as it will bleed.

The colour scheme used on this card is: Old Olive, Daffodil Delight & Black!

I embossed the Old Olive cardstock with the Beautifully Baroque TIEF. I coloured the feminine figure with the Blendabilities; her hair and skin with the skin tones set and her dress with the Old Olive set & Daffodil Delight set.

The Blendabilities come in sets of 3, being a Stampin’ Up! colour and 2 tones of it. So these coordinate with all of our other products, awesome!

Here is another sample using the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities!

I then decided to make another with the Calypso Coral set, combined with the Coastal Cabana ones!

Blendabilities

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

If you don’t know it yet, I brought home lots of yummy new products from the Stampin’ Up! Convention which will be available in the new 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue.

Over the next month or so, I will share with you, loads of ideas created using some of the new products. Are you excited??!!

Well here is the first one ~ Blended Bloom Stamp coloured with Blendabilities (alcohol based ink), ideal for shading!

Blended Bloom Blendabilities

The card base is Pear Pizzazz cardstock. The Blended Bloom is stamped with the new Black Memento Ink on Whisper White cardstock.  I coloured the image with the new Calypso Coral Blendabilities and used my So Saffron & Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Markers for the centre. I then fussy cut the image.

I stamped the leaves (from Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set) in Pear Pizzazz ink onto Whisper White cardstock and layered it to the base with dimensionals. I added the Blended Bloom image with dimensionals also.

Here is a close up of the image.

Blendabilities Blended Bloom

The ribbon is Victoria Crochet Trim layered over Natural Chevron Ribbon and tied in the centre with a piece of Calypso Coral Twine and adhered to the card with glue dots.

I am in love with Blendabilities and cannot wait to add more colours to my collection.

What Sets Them Apart:

  • The Stampin’ Up! rectangular barrel keeps your markers from rolling away!
  • Flat storage helps to maintain the life of each marker.
  • Each marker comes with a tip on each end: brush and fine.
  • Marker tips are made of nylon, which is superior to polyester which can fray.
  • Colour coded caps.
  • Stampin’ Up! markers coordinate wonderfully with our cardstock, and can be used with transparent sheets.
