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.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop

Published on February 22, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky Wright10 Comments

G’Day Friends,

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

Each month we focus on a particular Bundle from either the current Mini or Annual Catalogue. March is all about the fun Playing in the Rain Bundle, Page 90 of the 2023 January-April Mini 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’m having so much fun playing with this Bundle but of course there is the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper along with the Raindrops Embossing Folder & the Loose Daisy Embellishments, all of which make up the Rain or Shine Suite Collection.

I love the little kite in the Dies. It reminds me of when we were kids & use to go out to the hills on a Sunday morning with Dad. Of course, we would spend Saturday arvo making our kites first, which would then turn into a contest to see whose kite would actually fly!!!!!!

See the spatters on the Basic White Cardstock? They’ve been creaqted with the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Write Marker by randomly splattering the colour around.

Look at that happy little face? What a cutie? Not a care in the world dancing & running around flying her kite in the rain. She’s actually been die cut from a piece of the lovely DSP with the Playing in the Rain Dies before being adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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

Inspirations in Ink January Blog Hop

Published on January 25, 2023January 26, 2023 by Vicky Wright6 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for dropping by where once again it’s time for our Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop.

Welcome to January where we are showcasing the oh so gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle. I have loved playing with this Bundle so much that I know you will too.

You may be starting here – Vicky Wright, Australia – or have come from another blog. Either way, you can find our Blog Roll at the end of this post, especially if you get a little lost. All you have to do is click on the links to follow along.

Chcek out this cute little Seagull! Don’t you think he is just the cutest? To achieve this look, I inked the image with Sahara Sand Ink, prior to randomly daubing Night of Navy Ink over the feathers with a Sponge Dauber.

The sand/seahells image was stamped direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with Sahara Sand Ink. Yep, you read right! I wanted to play & create with Very Vanilla Cardstock instead of Basic White Cardstock which is what coordinates with the By the Seaside Designer Series Papers. I think it worked out perfectly, but you be the judge.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today. I have a few more projects to share with you throughout February along with the Bundle Focus Online Class all created with this gorgeous Bundle.

As mentioned above, this is a blog hop. I know you will see amazing projects created with this Bundle along the way. Of course, don’t forget to leave a little comment or 2 as you go.
