Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – April 2023

G’Day Friends,

I’ve been playing with Colouring Techniques this month & thought I would continue with the gorgeous Soft Pastels Assortments for my Thank You cards this month.

If you haven’t played with thsese little devils, do yourself a favour, dig them out & start playing.  They are truely lovely with the end result being a complete surprise.

The paper is from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper which I teamed up with the Forever Fern Stamp Set.  I’ve coloured the leaves with the Night of Navy Pastel & a cotton bud.  I’m really happy with the final result.

The card was finished off with a little White Baker’s Twine bow & a couple of the Glossy Dots Assortments.  The sentiment was stamped onto scrap Basic White Cardstock with Night of Navy Ink before before being cut into shape & adhered to the right of the panel.

As mentioned previously this is a blog hop, so be sure to check out all the inspirations on today’s hop by clicking on the links below.  Don’t forget to leave a little love too as I’m sure the would appreciate it.

Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop

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

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.
