December Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop

Published on December 27, 2023December 27, 2023 by Vicky Wright3 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to our Inspirations in Ink December Blog Hop where we’re showcasing the gorgeous new 2024 Sale-a-Bration items.

Sale-a-Bration goes live Thursday, 4th January, but we, as Demonstrators are able to earn SAB early when purchasing either $90 or $180 in product.

You may be starting with me – Vicky Wright, Australia – or you may have come from another blog. Either way, I hope you enjoy our projects we have to share with you today.

I am loving all the lovely Designer Series Papers in the SAB Brochure but decided to go another way & have a play with the Level 2 Softly Sophisticated Bundle. It’s always a good thing to step out of your comfort zone.

The Colour Combination of Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon & Orchid Oasis makes the card look so soft & pretty. The Orchid Oasis Woven Metallic Ribbon & Pearls highlight the softness of flowers & leaves.

A piece of Basic White was embossed with the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder prior to blending Pool Party Ink over the top with a Blending Brush.

I do hope you have enjoyed my project today. Thanks again for dropping by.

July Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop

Published on July 26, 2023July 26, 2023 by Vicky Wright6 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to our July Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop. Thank you for dropping by.

This month our focus is all about the lovely Inked & Tiled Bundle which is Page 94 of the Annual Catalogue.

You may be starting with me – Vicky Wright, Australia – or you may have come from another blog. Either way, I hope you enjoy our projects we have to share with you today.

I’ve kept my card fairly simple today as I wanted the focus to be on the stamp from the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set. Isn’t it just gorgeous?

To create my card, a piece of the Inked Botanicals DSP was adhered to a Thick Very Vanilla Base Card. The image has been coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers. The stem & leaves are Lost Lagoon while the flowers are Calypso Coral.

The sentiment is from the same set & stamped direct onto Very Vanilla with Lost Lagoon Ink. It was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To break the tone on tone, a small stitched Lost Lagoon banner was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies prior to being adhered behind the Very Vanilla circle & popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish it off, a couple of Basic Pearls, which I haven’t used for so long were randomly adhered to the stamped panel. A small bow was tied with a piece of Linen Thread & adhered to the stem with a Mini Glue Dot.

I do hope you have enjoyed my project today. Thanks again for dropping by.

Stampin’ Up! In Colours Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop

Published on April 26, 2023April 26, 2023 by Vicky Wright3 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to our Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop for April.

This month our focus is on the new 2023-2025 In Colours. They are rich, they are regal & you will love them! Oh wait, there’s more! We’re teaming the colours with a carrying over Stamp Set which in my case is the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. The more I play with this set, the more I am loving it.

You may be starting with me – Vicky Wright, Australia – or you may have come from another blog. Either way, I hope you enjoy our projects we have to share with you today.

As usual when I start playing with a new set, bundle, colour, etc I tend to go simple & easy. Oh hell, all my cards are that anyway lol. I find that doing it this way, I get the feel for the product & ideas & inspiration will start popping into my head. I also stuck to the 1 colour & that was Moody Mauve.

Check out that lovely Granny Apple Green stem. Isn’t it striking & don’t you think it brings the card to life? I wasn’t too sure, but I think it works now.

The Textured Ribbon is just gorgeous & beautiful to work with. To highlight it more, it’s been adhered to a piece of Basic White Cardstock with just a little of the Basic White poking out along the top & bottom.

Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop

Published on March 29, 2023March 29, 2023 by Vicky Wright3 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for stopping by & welcome to our Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop for March.

Each month we focus on a particular Bundle from either the current Mini or Annual Catalogue. Well, this month is a little different as we are featuring different Colouring Techniques. The Colouring Techniques will also feature in our Inspirations in Ink Tutorial Bundle, which you won’t want to miss out on. Believe me, the projects are simply gorgeous.

You may be starting with me – Vicky Wright, Australia – or you may have come from another blog. Either way, I hope you enjoy our projects we have to share with you today.

I chose to showcase our great Sponge Daubers. I love these little things especially the way they change an image with a little bit of ink & WOW, you have a hit on your hands.

Now, I would have to say that the cute little Sea Turtle Stamp Set from the January-April Mini Catalogue is just perfect for this technique. No thinking of what to use lol. This set screams Sponge Daubers.

The images have been randomly stamped onto Basic White Cardstock with Pool Party, Real Red & Evening Evergreen Inks.

The turtles have been inked with Pool Party Ink with Garden Green Ink randomly daubed with a Sponge Dauber.

The Base Card is Grey Granite Cardstock.

Don’t forget if you are stamping more than one image, clean the stamp in between the stamping & daubing of ink or you may ruin your Ink Pads. I always ink with the lighter colours & daub with the darker colour.

Wanna see how I used the Sponge Daubers, click below to view the video.

I do hope you have enjoyed my project today. Thanks again for dropping by.
