JAI 708 choose Two challenge - Enduring Beauty split image

Handmade card using Stampin Up Enduring Beauty, Unbounded Love, and ink blending. Card by Diane Barnes - Independent Demonstrator in Sydney Australia - colourmehappy - stampinupcards - cardmaking - stamping - diecutting

Hello and welcome to another team project share for Just Add Ink. This week is a Choose Two challenge, and we need to include blending, embossing, or white. I chose to use the beautiful, large floral image from Enduring Beauty stamps, dies and stencil sets as my feature.
All three challenge elements are included since it's a given that pretty much all of my cards have some white, and even snuck in two types of embossing. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 707 sketch challenge - Sea Turtle Spotlight

Handmade card using Stampin Up Sea Turtle  stamp set, Spotlight on Nature dies, Labels Aglow dies, Stylish Shapes dies, and Beach Day stamp set. Card by Diane Barnes #stampinupcards #stampinupcatalogue #colourmehappy #stamping

Hello and welcome to a new project share. This card is my team project for Just Add Ink sketch challenge 707, which is a very easy one with lots of possibilities. It came together pretty quickly once I decided to use sweet little sea turtles from the Sea Turtle stamp set. This is how it turned out.

JAI 705 Just add a fancy edge - Layers of Beauty celebration

handmade card using Stampin Up Layers of Beauty stamps, dies and stencils, Around the Bend dies, and Wanted to Say dies. Card by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - stampinupcards - cardmaking

Hello and welcome to my Just Add Ink team share for this week's new challenge, which is to Just Add a Fancy Edge. I am firmly in love with the Layers of Beauty bundle, which include stamps, dies and layering stencils, after using it for last week's class. I mixed up the elements of that card with the curvy die from Around the Bend and some striped paper, and this is how my card turned out.
