COLOUR inkSPIRATION CHALLENGE #190

It has been a while since I joined in the Colour INKspiration Challenges but I have made it back – albeit a day late!

This Challenge #190 runs from Wednesday 25 June to Monday 7 July.  Fellow Crew member, Nikki Spencer chose the photo for this Challenge which inspired our analogous colour scheme.  

This time we are joined by the lovely Yvonne Spikmans Van-Bruggan from The Creative Teacup, as our Guest Designer.

For this card I combined several products – Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and the stamp sets Charming Day, Elements of Text and The Right Words.

It was wonderful to combine all the stamped images and the texture from the embossing folder and distressed edges.

I do love a card with layered elements!

The floral image was stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

If you are feeling INKspired , I hope you decide to join the challenge!

Iust reminder to use ALL the Challenge colours unless stated. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute – Pecan Pie instead of Cajun Craze for example. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in the Stampin’ Blends and Neutrals such as Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Basic Beige and Metallics.

Make sure you check out the other projects I have created this week.

Happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT’S TIME FOR A 3D THURSDAY SHARE

I recently bought a raspberry scented soap to create a gift box to pop it in. When we have guests I like to place a gift box, with soap in it, on their bed.

The soap was a perfect match to Melon Mambo card and the pinks in the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper.

After creating the gift box I added a piece of the DSP to the top of the lid.

I used one of the stamps from the new Encircled in Love Stamp Set. It was stamped using the Secret Sea ink. Then I coloured the bow using the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.

The 1 3/4″ circle punch was used to punch out the stamped image. A length of Swcret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon and secured it under the circle.

Then I took the new 1 7/8″ circle punch and cut a Daffodil Delight circle to position under the white circle.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I attached the circles to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have two fun fold cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY UPDATES & CARD PROJECT

So, what’s new with Stampin’ Up!?

Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!

One request Stampin’ Up! often hears is, “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” We are excited to announce that in the next week or so, you will be able to do just that! 
If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to demonstrators, customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a demonstrator or customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually. 
After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.
When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns.
We hope this new feature makes shopping even more convenient for you and your customers!

This is such a simple yet very customer friendly upgrade!

Today’s card features some dry embossing, distressed card edges, blending brush colouring and strips of Designer Series Paper.

I started with a Daffodil Delight card base. Then i added texture to a Basic White panel using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

After embossing the white card, I lightly used a Blending Brush to add some Daffodil Delight ink to it. Next, I used my Paper Snips to distress the outer edges of the card.

Then I added three strips of floral Designer Series Paper directly on to the embossed layer.

I took a length of the Mossy Meadow & Gold Trim and tied it around the embossed card – no bow, just a knot.

Then I added two checked DSP designs – one in Daffodil Delight and one Secret Sea.

Both the card insert and the back of the envelope had some of the checked Daffodil Delight DSP adhered to them.

I used another new product, the Encircled with Love Stamp Set, to stamp the ‘with love’ greeting. It was punched using the 1 3/4″ circle punch.

Finallt, I added some Daffodil Delight dots from the Muted Palette Dots pack.

Tomorrow, I have a gorgeous 3D gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
