BACK IN ACTION AFTER A SIX MONTH BREAK

It has been a long time since I shared any of my paper creations. I have been crafting on and off but it’s time to start sharing again.

Today’s project is for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge.

Hello and welcome to another Colour INKspiration Challenge!

This is the colour palette for #CI212. This inspiration comes from an image was chosen by crew member Monica Formosa.

For my project I decided to stick to the image and recreate the tiles.

I used the 1″ circle die from the Capturing Smiles die set to cut loads of circles from the chosen colour palette, as well as a little black.

Some of the circle portions were popped up with dimensionals to add some varied height across the card.

I definitely need to start keeping a list of everything I use for each project because I have completely forgotten the stamp set I used for the greeting and the embellishments. But, I do remember that I used the BLack Iridescent Ribbon for the bow.

Starting from Monday I will return to my regular project posts – I hope that you will join me.

Happy stamping!

THURSDAY – AND BACK ON TRACK

Well almost – today I am going to share six smaller cards using the Days Like These Memories & More Card Pack and the Memories & More Cards and Envelopes.

For every M&M small card deign I used, I mounted them over a slightly larger card matte before adhering it to a small M&M cardbase.

I used a variety of embellishments, that you can see at the end of this post.

Because I know that you are all able to look at the card images and figure out what I have used, I am simply going to share photos of these projects.

Now I will bundle all of this week’s cards into a gift and create a box to present them in.

What do you think? Who would you give this gift to?

And soon, another week and another set of projects to share with you.

Last Friday and Saturday I enjoyed a live Virtual Cardmaking Retreat and made 15 gorgeous cards deisgned and taught by the amazing design team form Stampin’ Up!.

I imagine this will be equally inspiring.

I have two more cards to share with you, featurning the Days Like These Memories & More Card Pack.

This first card continues my LAYERING tecnique focus.

Although I have used layering, overlapping and angles; this is still a super simple card.

The Garden Green grid M&M card was adhered to a Garden Green matte and then attached to the Basic White card base.

The smaller paptterned M&M card was adhered, at an agle, to a Garden Green layer, and then positioned on the card front at an angle.

I love the way that angled designs draw your eye across the card in so many directions.

The greeting came from one of the M&M cards and was die cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Die set.

Before attaching it to the card front with dimensionals, I took a length of Garden Green & White Chevron Ribbon and folded it into three and secured it behind the greeting.

I added a thin strip of Garden Green card and a rectangle of patterned Garden Green card inside the card and a banner cut element ot the back of the envelope.

My second card today uses six die cut squares from coloured card and M&M card designs.

They have been equally spaced across the card front, some adhered directly to the base and others have been added using dimensionals.

Then I die cut a piece of Daffodil Delight M&M card into a frame and added it to the card front using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and cut using the slightly off circular die.

After stamping the greeting a second time in another colour, I cut ‘snippets’ as strip before popping it up from the background circle.

I used the geometric design from the Joyful Squared Stamp Set – bottom row, second from the left, to stamp inside the card.

I stamped the same greeting on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls to the card front.

For my next couple of posts I will share some more cards using the smaller M&M cards and envelopes.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
