Published on February 10, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I thought I would share our February Bundle Focus creation from last week. It has been created with the gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle, along with the lovely By the Bay DSP, Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon & the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls which all make up the By the Bay Suite Collection. You can view this lovely Suite on Page 23 of the new Mini Catalogue.

Check out that gorgeous Paper. Of course, you know me, I just had to randomly chop it into pieces lol.

The stitched shape is from the Stitched Rectangles Dies while the sentiment has been stamped with Night of Navy Ink.

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

Caseing the Mini Catalogue

Published on February 5, 2023February 10, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Did you see our #acardadayinjanuary on our FB Pages last month? It was all about Birthday Cards!

Well, once again, Robbie & myself are teaming up again each Sunday during February to bring you a month of Caseing the current Mini Catalogue. Now, neither of us knows 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.

Our first Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 12 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

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 & Imeperial – 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 create my card I decided to dig out the lovely Season of Chic Bundle. So of course I had to use the coordinating Texture Chic Papers. Of course, feel free to use what you have in your stash.

See the panel? I’ve sponged a small amount of Soft Succulent Ink with a Blending Brush to create the background.

The gold leaf was die cut with the die from the Chic Dies with Gold Distress Paper. Love this paper!

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.

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

If you live in Australia, click on the photo below to purchase this Bundle. Don’t forget to use the January Host Code –HUXS7CUZ – if your order is under $250.

You can see the 1st sample I shared by clicking HERE.

When I do my lives, instead of creating 2 or 3 cards the same I like to create 1 live & then share a 2nd version & step you through it on how it was created & the colours that weere used.

A Decorative Mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks was placed over a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock prior to blending Fresh Freesia Ink over the top with a Blending Brush.

The colours used on today’s card are Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla & Smokey Slate Cardstock. The Garden Green Twine is from the Three Twine Combo Pack.

Once again, the flowers were fussy cut fom a piece of the Favored Flowers DSP before being adhered onto a Vellum die cut circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals The Vellum circle was then adhered to the card front with Adhesive.

I have another card to share with you created from the Level 1, Favored Flowers DSP from 2023 Sale-a-Bration.

Today’s card is one we created in a FB Live a little time ago but am only just getting around to sharing. It is also one that was cased from Page 11 of the 2023 Sale-a-Bration Brouchure.

Sometimes we look at inspiration from our Catalogues & think we can’t recreate the projects as we don’t have the same product. Well, let me say that you don’t need the same product as this proves that you can use what you have in your stash.

I’ve placed a Decorative Mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock prior to blending Petal Pink Ink over the top with a Blending Brush.

The Pumpkin Pie Twine is from the Three Twine Combo Pack which I think adds more interest to the whole card. The flowers were fussy cut fom a piece of the Favored Flowers DSP before being adhered onto a Vellum die cut circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals The Vellum circle was then adhered to the card front with Adhesive.

Dainty Delight Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

Published on January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I hope you have enjoyed my projects created with the Dainty Delight Bundle & the Danity Flowers DSP this month. Today is my last share but if you would like more inspiraton on this Bunde & Papers, be sure to check out the pervious project links along with the video links below.

To create my project, I’ve chopped 2 pieces of the DSP & adhered them to a piece of Basic White Cardstock with a small amount of Basic White showing around all sides of the DSP.

The coloured elements on the card have all been die cut from Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry & Fresh Freesia Cardstock with the Danity Delight Dies. Love it when the dies can do all the work for you & blend in so perfectly with the gorgeous DSP.

The sentiment is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White Cardstock with Mossy Meadow Ink before being die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

It was then adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals before randomly adhering Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots to the card front too.

Inspirations in Ink January Blog Hop

Published on January 25, 2023January 26, 2023 by Vicky Wright6 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for dropping by where once again it’s time for our Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop.

Welcome to January where we are showcasing the oh so gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle. I have loved playing with this Bundle so much that I know you will too.

You may be starting here – Vicky Wright, Australia – or have come from another blog. Either way, you can find our Blog Roll at the end of this post, especially if you get a little lost. All you have to do is click on the links to follow along.

Chcek out this cute little Seagull! Don’t you think he is just the cutest? To achieve this look, I inked the image with Sahara Sand Ink, prior to randomly daubing Night of Navy Ink over the feathers with a Sponge Dauber.

The sand/seahells image was stamped direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with Sahara Sand Ink. Yep, you read right! I wanted to play & create with Very Vanilla Cardstock instead of Basic White Cardstock which is what coordinates with the By the Seaside Designer Series Papers. I think it worked out perfectly, but you be the judge.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today. I have a few more projects to share with you throughout February along with the Bundle Focus Online Class all created with this gorgeous Bundle.

As mentioned above, this is a blog hop. I know you will see amazing projects created with this Bundle along the way. Of course, don’t forget to leave a little comment or 2 as you go.

Repeat for 2nd daisy & also the half daisy
Die cut the middles for flowers from Soft Suede Cardstock with the Dainty Delight Dies
Adhere to middle of each flower prior to adhering flowers to tops of stems with Stampin’ Dimensionals
