JAI 695 Just Add Chocolate - Mini patterned paper folder

 

Hello and welcome to a new project share for the Just Add Ink Design Team. This week's challenge is to Just Add Chocolate. Apparently that doesn't mean to just eat chocolate, though I feel it's implied for any chocolate lover.  Nevertheless, I set to creating a chocolate related project.

I remembered that the Nature's Sweetness specialty patterned paper included beautiful cacao/cocoa bean nature specimen images (as well as almond and vanilla images too - all favourite flavours of mine),
So I thought that could be a fun twist on a regular  chocolate project. I also happened to have some yummy Lindt Caramel Square chocolates. So this all lead to a mini version of my favourite No-cut Patterned Paper Folder to hold the chocolate and a message. Here's how it turned out.

Festive Tags Kit step up to 15 Christmas cards

Hello and welcome! Today I have 15 fun cards to share with you made with the fabulous Festive Tags kit. The kit was designed by Stampin' Up! to make 15 beautiful tags but it was really easy turning them into Christmas cards instead.

I loved the colours and images included, so over a weekend I played with the pieces in the kit and made 15 different cards. I added only cardstock (and some embossing with the Snowflake Sky 3d embossing folder).

I hope this idea will be helpful l to anyone like me who's still making Christmas cards, or  any super organised people prepping for next Christmas. Take a look at how they turned out.

 

JAI 599 Just add fave animal - Whale amazing thanks

Hello & welcome to a new project share for this week's Just Add Ink challenge suggested by Kerry - Just Add your favourite animal.

The trickiest part of this challenge was choosing my favourite animal. It's like choosing your favourite human or fur child. After much pondering I chose whales - and made a thank you card for a dear & amazing friend.

I mixed new and old goodies on my card - new Waves dies & Blue foils from the Waves of the Ocean collection (see & click image at end of post to see all items), current Amazing Thanks dies & Whale Punch, and papers from the Whale of a Time paper pack. (retired sadly in 2021 & one of our most beautifully illustrated packs ever - a big call I know). Take a look at how it turned out.
