Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Nicole Wilson.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI146, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, and metallics to your project. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute – Lemon-Lime Twist for Granny Apple Green for example.

To get your creative ideas flowing make sure you check out the Crew’s Projects in the CI#146 album. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/…

My contribution features the Inked & Tiled Punch Duo and the Zany Zoo Stamp Set.

I started by punching out the background shapes using the new Inked & Tiled Punch Duo and adhering them to a piece of Basic White cardstock. This was then trimmed down to create a symmetrical layer.

After wrapping three lengths of white twine, from the baker’s Twine Essential Pack, around the matte layer; I tied the twine in a bow and used a Mini Glue Dot to secure the bow.

The matte layer was then adhered to the card front.

The singing turtle was stamped and coloured before I used the coordinating die to cut it out. Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed behind the turtle and then placed it on the card front.

Then the sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and then cut into a square to fit inside one of the punched shapes. Dimensionals helped to lift the sentiment up off the card front.

The musical notes were then above and below the sentiment.

The turtle was stamped inside the card and on the envelope.

Finally, I added some of the Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio to give the card a bit of bling.

By the look of the white twine spool, I need to place an order soon.

This post is a day late because Rob and I just returned home from four days away at Tamborine Mountain. We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary a few days before our get away. It was so lovely to enjoy the beautiful scenery and walks.

I’m not sure what I’ll share next – but it will be soon.

Until then, happy stamping.

The Time Together Bundle is absolutely amazing!

The stamp set has four great greetings and eight images. There are 14 dies that coordinate and can be used in projects using this bundle.

I designed this project for my Coffee & Card Class this week. It was a great way to introduce some new techniques to new stampers and allow more experienced stampers to reconnect with these techniques, using new products.

I started with a Misty Moonlight landscape tent card base and embossed a 5 3/4″ x 3″ strip of Basic White cardstock using the Stripes 3D Embossing Folder, from the Stripes and Splatters duo.

A length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon, from the combo pack, was attached to the embossed cardstock and tied in knot. Then I trimmed the ends of the ribbon.

Multipurpose glue was used to adhere the embossed panel to the front of the card.

I used the small hourglass die to cut seven out – three in Misty Moonlight and one each in Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, Garden Green and Parakeet Party.

The frame of each hourglass and ‘sand’ were coloured using the dark Stampin’ Blends in the five colours chosen. This gave the hourglasses a more distinctive look on the card.

The die cut shapes had two Stampin’ Dimensionals attached behind the ‘glass’ and were placed in the section above the ribbon.

The sentiment and banner were stamped and die cut before securing it to the card using dimensionals.

Finally, I added some Misty Moonlight gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack for a bit of sparkle.

The envelope and card insert had hourglasses attached.

Tomorrow I have some gift tags to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
