Colour INKspiration #202

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Me! We welcome Sandra Strobel as our Guest Designer.

See the photo credit here.

This photo was perfect to use as INKspiration to use the new Sunshine & Tulips Bundle.

For this card I used a Basic White card base. After die cutting the tulips, I wrapped white Baker’s Twine around the panel and added a triple bow feature.

I die cut the tulip petals using a variety of 2025 6″x 6″ DSP and the leaves from Garden Green card.

The greeting was stamped and cut using the Three Banner Punch. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I was able to lift the banner up on the card front.

I added some Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls to embellish the card front.

The back of the envelope and inside the card were stamped with the row of 5 small tulips.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED – TIME FOR SOME FUN

For my Friday Fun Fold card I have an Easel Card for you, featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection.

I will definitely need to make some more projects, using this Suite, because I haven’t even touched the Puffy Stickers yet.

I couldn’t resist using the palm trees paper again!

In addition to the DSP, I die cut three palm trees and addded them to the grove of trees. I thinly cut strips of Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the trees up over the DSP palms.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of Basic White card and trimmed to a neat rectangle. I used Dimensionals to add the greeting to the card front.

The ribbon embellishment was created by cutting a length of Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon, fraying it and then tying a multiple-looped bow. I secured it place using a Mini Glue Dot.

I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend pen and added them as ‘coconuts’ to one of the palms.

Now, let’s check out the easel.

I added a strip of the DSP at the bottom edge of the Basic White card insert. This works as the edge to hold the card front up.

Some extra coloured Pearls were added to this DSP panel.

I stamped the greeting on the Basic White card insert before adhering another die cut palm tree.

This week was fun – I hope you enjoyed all my shares.

Make sure you leave me a comment to tell which is your favourite project.

Next week I will have another amazing collection of products to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #201

Hello everyone – wishing you all a wonderful holiday season.

Picture credit- https://nz.pinterest.com/pin/402157441743009057/

Welcome to our 201st challenge at Colour INKspiration!

We welcome Sharon Cheatle as our Guest Designer.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Bernie Roodt.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI201, Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Pretty Peacock and Gold, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! (or any other brand) substitute – Real Red instead of Poppy Parade, for example.

To get your creative ideas flowing, make sure you check out the Crew’s Project in the #CI201Album –

Challenge guidelines:

· Create a NEW project made specifically for this challenge.

· Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.

· Upload only ONE picture per entry straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album.

CI#201 will run for almost FIVE weeks and will end at 7 pm (AEDT) on Monday January 12th 2026.

We hope you can participate this round and look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Happy stamping!

For this project I am featuring the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle from the January – April 2026 Mini Catalogue.

To accent the gold in the colour palette I am also using the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack.

Another soon-to-be released product is the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. It creates an amazing texture on the gold foil.

The greeting was heat embossed using WOW Gold Embossing Powder.

The front of the card was embellished with coloured Antique Pearls. I couldn’t find my dark Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend pen so I had to use the light – dark would have been better.

I repeated the use of the gold flower, from the Ephemera Pack, on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

I hope that you all join us for this #201 Challenge and enjoy a crafting holiday season.
