Inspirations in Ink August Blog Hop

G’Day Friends,

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

We’re a small group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world who come together each month to showcase a theme & share inspiration for you to create.

You may be starting with me, Vicky Wright Australia or have come from Robbie’s blog where she shared her lovely project.  Don’t forget you can visit all the other blogs on today’s hop by clicking on the Blog Roll at the bottom of this post.

So sad to say that today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration & the last day to grab theses cute litte hippos when placing a $90 order.  I’m not sure what has been your favourite but I have loved the Hippest Hippos along with the Hippo Dies.  So much fun, so many ideas, only 2 hands!

Who says Hipps can’t be blue?

Do you ever start out with something in mind but then end up a totally different finish –  nothing like what you were thinking of?  Well, this is one of those projects!

A piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder before lightly & gently dragging Crumb Cake Ink Pad over the top, first up & down & then from side to side.

Have you noticed their little bellies?   I did a little Paper Piercing with the lovely Splendid Day DSP by stamping 2 images direct onto the paper, fussy cutting the little bellies before adhering to the coloured images.

Rings of Love DSP

G’Day Friends,

Today is the last day to take advantage of the wonderful Sale-a-Bration we’ve been offered throughout July & August.  I’m not sure which has been my favourite but I do know the lovely Rings of Fire DSP, Level 1 is high on the list.  It also coordinates with the Ringed with Nature Bundle from the July-December Mini Catalogue.  Do you have a favourite?

My card is one I share on our Weekly FB Live, Mystery Stamping  a couple of weeks ago & suddenly remembered that I hadn’t share it with you.

I wanted to share both sides of the DSP so what better way than to do so by using both sides of 1 piece of paper.  Oh, notice the house?  It’s from the same pack of papers & all I’ve done is fussy cut it.

Vintage Tools by Stampin’ Up! FB Live

G’Day Friends,

I do hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I don’t often post on a Monday but as we did an easy FB Live yesterday, I thought I would share the projects with you.  They are perfect for the Beginner & Casual Stampers!

We played around with the Vintage Tools Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue.  This set is so cute & I will be honest & say that I love this little set.  Perfect for the male & females.

I created a set of 3 cards for the male, all being perfect for the Beginner & Casual Stamper.   Then I shared a set perfect for the female, again all perfect for the Beginner & Casual Stamper.

Butterfly Kisses Suite by Stampin’ Up

G’Day Friends,

We played around with the fun & bright Best Butterflies Suite in our Stamp & Create FB Live yesterday.

Each week, I post a Sketch Layout where we create our project using the layout.

I thought it would be fun to showcase an alternate way of creating a very easy Fun Fold using the Sketch Layout.

I will be honest & say I didn’t really look at this Suite from the Annual until recently.  After playing with it for a few days even creating a bright Cards to GO! Kit with it, I’m happy to say that I am loving it so much.  So much fun!

Click on this link to watch the video on how I created my card.  I also show you another version created with the Same Suite & Sketch Layout.

If you live in Australia, click on the photo below to purchase this Suite.  Don’t forget to use the August Host Code – DP3JVVSY –  if your order is under $250.

  • All orders receive a Handmade Card.

Wonderful World Bundle

G’Day Friends,

Today I have a fun way of chopping your Designer Series Paper along with a Sketch Layout we did on a FB Live a couple of weeks ago.

As always a simple layout but one that I think I will be using a lot more often.

I think we are all loving the gorgeous paper from Wonderful World Bundle, I know I am.  It is Level 2, July-August Sale-a-Bration.  This is the perfect way of showcasing both the paper & the stamp set.

I have a video for you showing how I created another card but using the same layout.  Click on this link to watch the video.

If you live in Australia, click on the photo below to purchase this Suite.  Don’t forget to use the August Host Code – DP3JVVSY –  if your order is under $250.
