Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a sketch challenge and I do enjoy a sketch. I thought it would be fun to one of the sketch squares a window so that's where I started. The Beautiful Butterflies stamps and dies bundle came out again, teamed with some Floral and Gingham vellum. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 734 Just add something new blog hop - 4 Wildflower Birthday cards
Welcome to a new year of Just Add Ink challenges and a fun full team blog hop to celebrate. You may have arrived from the lovely Ann Alexander's blog or some other way. In any case, hello and I hope you enjoy my projects.
This challenge and hop theme is to Just Add Something New. I'm fortunate to have some beautiful Stampin' Up! goodies from the new Wildflower Birthday suite so I've chosen to use it to make some birthday cards - we all need lots of them, right? I've also been playing around with an idea to use a simple layout to make multiple cards with different looks using folds or cuts. So take a look at 4 different cards with the same layout used in different ways.

30 Christmas Cards - A Little Bit Festive
Hello and welcome! Wishing you all a belated Happy Christmas. I thought you might like to see some of the cards I sent to friends and family this year, so today I'm sharing a set of 30 cards I designed using the A Little Bit Festive paper and die cut pack.
This pack is a fun and very economical way to make easy, individual Christmas cards. The pack is only $17.50 a pack in Aus. I teamed it with basic cardstock, stamped sentiments, some embossing folders, and my favourite basic die shapes, to create a set of 30 cards. Of course they'll still look great if you keep it simple with just card, ink and paper.
This could be a great way to make a start on cards for 2025 so you're not running as late as me this year. Many of the key elements are now Last Chance items and some are discounted too.

JAI 733 Choose Two challenge - Reindeer Christmas


Hello & welcome to a new week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a Choose Two challenge to include two of these three elements, elves, reindeer, or Santa on a project. I love reindeers for Christmas and have so many choices, but not a Santa or elf in sight.
I went back to the long retired Santa’s Sleigh stamps and dies so that while Santa is away delivering gifts, his sleigh and reindeer are here on the card. I added my favourite sentiments from Peaceful Season and pretty papers and the card was done. Here’s how it turned out.

JAI 723 Choose two challenge - Reindeer Fun Christmas
Hello & welcome to a fun Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week's challenge is to Choose Two elements to use from the 3 available options - circle, trees, and ink blending. I chose circle and trees, though I did sneak in a little ink blending too. I need to get started on my Christmas card and wanted to play with some of my new mini favourites so I did some mix and matching with the new Reindeer Fun stamp set and dies bundle, Decorative Trees dies, and Peaceful Season dies (both sets also bundled). Here's how it turned out.
