TIME TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION #163 PROJECT

Welcome to our 163rd challenge at Colour INKspiration! We welcome Teah Karr Woodward as our Guest Designer.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Monica Formosa. As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI163, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Starry Sky, 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! colour.

These colours are so vivid and it took me a while to figure out which stamp set/bundle I would use. Then Attention Shoppers came to mind.

I decided to use a Basic White card base and a panel of Crushed Curry paper from the 2023-2024 Regals 6″x 6″ DSP pack.

Then I used Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black card stock, with Adhesive Sheet attached to each, to die cut the shopping trolley.

The fun part was then stamping each of the shopping trolley items, several times, and then die cutting them. Then I used Stampin’ Write Markers and Stampin’ Blends to colour each of them.

Because the greeting I chose was ‘Treat Yourself’, I needed to fill the trolley with loads of goodies.

I stamped the same greeting inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

For bling, I added Clear Wink of Stella onto each of the trolley items.

One day soon I hope to find where the flower bouquet die has disappeard to!

Tomorrow I have my 3D Beach Day project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Because the Attention Shoppers Bundle is not yet available to customers, I haven’t created a product display for this post. I have shared most of the products that I have used through the descriptions above.

TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Today I wanted to share a quick and easy technique with you.

When I discovered that the Bright & Beautiful 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper was perfect for this bundle, I chose one of the designs to use for this card – well, several sheets of this paper design.

The technique is PAPER TEARING. Essentially, I tore strips of the DSP from side to side.

TIP: By lifting the paper as I tore it, I was able to expose the white inner area of the paper.

Then I adhered each strip of paper, from dark to light, creating a wave-like pattern.

After creating this wavy background, I chose to adhere it to a Basic White panel.

Then I used the wavy die, from the Beach Day bundle, to create the foreground layer. I took the Dark Pecan Pie Blend Pen to add flecks of colour to the ‘beach’.

The palm tree was made by die cutting the palm leaves from Pretty Peacock card stock and the trunk from Pecan Pie card.

The deck chair was stamped onto a piece of the DSP and cut using the coordinating die.

After stamping the greeting, I cut it using one of the Autumn Leaves Dies. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the greeting anf placed it on the card front.

I added a strip of the torn DSP on the card insert and stamped a deck chair on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some of the gems from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack to the card front.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I used the Just Kiddin’ Suite Collection and Filled with Fun Bundle.

The Just Kiddin’ Suite, as you can see below, includes the Kiddin’ Around Cling Stamp set. This set has five fun images and three wonderful greetings.

The suite also has a coordinating set of 14 dies.

The Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper has 12 sheets – 2 each of 6 double sided designs. One side has a variety of images of children and the other side has wonderful background designs.

Finally, there is a pack of Iridescent Foil Gems to add bling to projects.

The Filled with Fun Bundle includes the Filled with Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set. The stamp set has 10 amazing images to help you stamp and build some amazing pull cart variations. It also has three lovely greetings.

I still have so many ideas for using these products.

For my final project this week , I have made a fun fold card. I started with a card base measuring 12″ x 6″.

I scored the 12″ side at 6″, 9″ and 10 1/2″.

I cut this blue DSP design to fit each of the card base panels.

THen I spent time fussy cutting each of the reading characters to include in the card.

The Mini Alphabet Dies were perfect to create each of the words included in this card.

I don’t think that have done this much fussy cutting in quite a while. I really like the little reader tucked in under his blanket.

On the ‘read with passion’ page, I included a gift card pocket. This will be the perfect place for a bookstore gift card for an avid little reader.

I am not sure what I will have for you tomorrow. So until then, happy stamping.
