Layering Circles Dies

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight with Re-Inkers

Published on April 16, 2023April 16, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by today.

Welcome to Week 3 of sharing a Colouring Technique. Throughout April, Robbie & myself are sharing a couple of our favourite colouring techniques each Sunday.

As our Simply Stamping Class this month was all about Stampin’ Spritzers, I decided to share with you a bonus card I created when designing our cards for this class. The PDF Tutorial will be available for purchase later on in the week over on my PDF Tutorials for Page.

I’m loving the Rich Razzleberry & Fresh Freesia, don’t you? I’ll be sad to see Rich Razzleberry go but happy that Fresh Freesia is staying around. I love these 2 colours together but no doubt, I will find something else that blends in nicely.

Check out all that shimmer? Isn’t it lovely? Don’t you just love that background? If you haven’t purchased any Glimmer Paper, be sure to do so, as it’s retiring too.

An easy & simple way to create lots of pretty backgrounds for your cards or even scrapbook pages. Why not give it a go & see what colour combinations you can come up with.

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.

Whale Done Sweet & Simple Online Class

Published on March 6, 2023March 5, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

This is our 1st project for the month of March created with the fun Whale Done Stamp Set. It’s a fun set & perfect for the kids in your life.

The cards this month have been teamed up with the gorgeous By the Bay DSP which is in the current Mini Catalogue. I think it suits this Stamp Set perfectly but you be the judge.

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

The images were randomly stamped onto Basic White Cardstock prior to the DSP being adhered along the bottom.

If you would like the PDF Tutorial for this class, you can purchase it HERE. You have from now to 31 March to do so. All 4 projects with the video links are included in the Tutorial along with a List of Supplies for all projects, Measurements in A4 Metric & Imperial AND Letter Sizes plus Step by Step Instructions.

Hydrangea Haven by Stampin’ Up!

Published on February 12, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky Wright1 Comment

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for dropping by today. It is very much appreciated.

Did you see our Week 1 of Caseing the Mini Catalogue last Sunday? Today, we are back for Week 2, but of course with a completely different case.

Today’s Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 62 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

Now, neither Robbie or myself know what the other is using on their project as all we have is the Sketch Layout we have created to match the card we are caseing.

If you use Letter size, then head over to Robbie’s Blog to grab her measurements – bearing in mind, they may be a completely style card to mine – while here I will have the Letter Size – Metric & Imperial – for my project.

To download your preferred layout, all you have to do is click on the images, save to your PC or print on A5 paper & save in your Sketch Layout Folder to use over & over again.

To decide on the size of my card, I went by the Slimline Envelopes from the Annual Catalogue, Page 137.

My hand went straight to the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set, which I must admit haven’t used in some time so that is a good thing, right? I went with the colours of the layout as another starting point but of course as they do, the card took a life of its own.

The paper comes from the Dandy Designs DSP, Level 2 of 2023 Sale-a-Bration. I just love these papers.

I must admit that the Dies & Stampin’ Blends have done most of my work for me. I’ve let them shine!

Since the video was created, I’ve added a few more elements to my card since the video, ie White Baker’s Twine & Pearls which I think help finish the card.

Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our 1st Sketch Layout this week. Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

To see Week 1, be sure to click HERE.

Don’t forget to join us again next Sunday for another fun Case from the Mini Catalogue.
