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.

Manly Monday with Be Jolly

G’Day Friends,

I do hope you have all had a lovely weekend, wherever you may live.  Thank you so much for dropping by today.

Today’s project is one I created sometime ago but have never gotten round to posting or sharing them with you.  It using the cute Be Jolly Stamp Setwhich is on the Last Chance Product List & will be retiring very soon.

In fact I have 5 cards to share with you this week all created with the fun Stamp Set.  I think I may have created them for an Online class but promptly forgot about them so you get to see them instead.

Santa was stamped onto Basic White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, coloured with Real Red, Basic Black & Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combos & die cut with the Layering Circles Dies.

A piece of Real Red Cardstock was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, adhered to a Thick Basic White Base Card & the die cut circle adhered to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the same set, stamped onto scrap Basic White in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, chopped back to size & shape before being adhered to the Card Front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card was finished off with Rhinestone Basic Jewels randomly adhered to the card front.

Need supplies to create today’s project at home?  Don’t forget to use December’s Host Code – N4ABBA4T –  if your order is under $250.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Textures & Frames #3

G’Day Friends,

We were given a Colour Challenge over in our WCMD FB Group the other day with Coastal Cabana & Flirty Flamingo.  If you haven’t joined for our day, be sure to by clicking on the above link.

As I’ve mentioned, the fun Textures & Frames Stamp Set can be used for all sort of things – so many ideas, only 2 hands lol.

This set is FREE when you spend over $90 but only during August-September Sale-a-Bration which ends 30 September.

The “baubles” are from the Textures & Frames Stamp Set, the “string” from  the Penguin Place Stamp Set, the bow from Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set.

The background was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

To complete the card I added Clear Rhinestones to the centres of the bows.

I love when I can mix & match my stamp sets to create a project.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Rococo Rose #1

G’Day Friends,

This week  Robbie & I are showcasing the lovely 2019-2021 In Colours over on our FB Pages.  Be sure to join us there.  It won’t be long & they will no longer be available.

My card is simple one but a fun one.  I’ve used the Kangaroo & Company Stamp Set to create it.  I’m not sure if you are aware but kangaroos are one of my favourite native animals.  I often walk out the front door early of a morning & find 6 or so feeding on the front lawn.  They are very quiet in the area I live in but all the same I am careful not to frighten them.  They don’t even worry about Belle – my little Maltese & she is not worried about them either.

The images have been stamped onto Basic White with my Stamparatus & coloured with Stampin’ Blends.  This piece was then embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder before being adhered to a piece of Crumb Cake & then to the Rococo Rose Base Card.

The sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White in Rococo Rose Ink, chopped back to size & shape prior to adhering to the Card Front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To complete the card I coloured the lovely White Resin Hearts with the Dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend & randomly adhered them to the Card Front.

They finish the card off perfectly, don’t you think?

G’Day Stampers,No-Stamping---Sunflowers (2)

Have you seen the very bright, but oh so much fun to play with Rainbow Glimmer Paper?  I am love love, loving it!

To make the colours of the paper “pop”, I teamed it up with Whisper White which was embossed with the Brick Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, adhered to a piece of Basic Black Cardstock & then to a Daffodil Delight Base Card.

For my sunflower, I’ve used the Sunflowers Dies to die cut both a piece of Rainbow Glimmer Paper & Whisper White Cardstock.  The middle of the flower has been die cut with a piece of Mango Melody.

“Friend” has been cut from Basic Black Cardstock with the die from Well Written Dies.  Another set of Dies that is able to be used for so much & for all occasions, don’t you think?

Think I will be creating more cards like this one – so easy & so very bright & fun!
