2023 January-April Mini Catalogue

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! Dainty Delight Bundle

Published on March 2, 2023March 2, 2023 by Vicky Wright2 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Are you ready for a little crafting today?

My card today is yet another I created using the same layout from Page 77 of the Mini Catalogue along with parts of the card sample on Page 77 of the same Catalogue. All I’ve done is combined the 2 together to create today’s card.

You can see the 1st layout by clicking HERE. It includes the Measurements for A4 – Metric & Imperial. If you click the link to Robbie’s card, she will have her measurements in Letter Size. The 2nd card I shared with the same layout may be found HERE.

Now, I’m not normally a purple girl but I will admit that I am loving these colours, especially with the the Orchid Oasis Glmmer Paper. It just shimmers away sometimes in the background & sometimes popping out in front.

The stamped image is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set & coloured with Stampin’ Blends. You could also use your Watercolour Pencils if you liked.

The flowers have been die cut with Orchid Oasis Cardstock using the Dainty Delight Dies. I love these little daisies as they are just that – dainty!

Be sure to watch the video as I explain how I creted this card.

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.

As this is a blog hop, don’t forget to hop along by clicking on the links below. You will see some fun projects created with this Bundle. Who knows, you could be persuaded to have a play with this Bundle yourself.

G’Day Friends,

Week 3 of our Seaside Bay Bundle Focus Online class is now up & running.

Each week, we step our cards up a little which means they are perfect for the Beginner Stamper right through to the Advanced Stamper.

This week’s card is the perfect layout for showcasing the gorgeous By the Bay Designer Series Paper. We can never have enough of this gorgeous paper.

Don’t forget there are only 4 kits of this card available. Get in quick as they are going very fast. Click on this link to shop in my Online Store. The offer for this kit ends today, Monday, 20 February 2023.

See the background behind the bird? It’s from one of the pieces of DSP. All I did was die cut it into a circle shape, created a Night of Navy frame & popped it up in the middle. Easy peasy hey!

Be sure to check out the video to see how I created my card.
