Hello & welcome to this week's team project share for Just Add Ink. Our new challenge is to to create a project inspired by this fabulous sunset image.

JAI 654 colour challenge - daffodil love and hugs

Hello and welcome! It's colour challenge week at Just Add Ink with a bright and happy combination of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Daffodil Delight.

You also find me today with laptop troubles so I'm keeping this post short and sweet. For some reason the challenge colours said daffodils to me so that's what I went with using the retired Daffodil dies and my favourite Sending dies. Take a look.

Happy travels - 3d suitcase fun fold birthday card

Hello and welcome!
Today I have something fun and interactive to share with you that I designed and made for Miss C's birthday.

She's heading off on a adventure soon so I thought it would be fun to create a card that looked like a pull along suitcase, complete with moving handle. Of course I had to personalise it for her with a monogram and tag too.

This is how it turned out.

Mystery Card Challenge 2 - seven clean and simple cards

Hello and welcome! Today I'm taking a step back in time to catch up with my last mystery card challenge. Things like crafting got a bit away from me - life and changes you know.

I did make seven, yes seven cards using the challenge cards. Most of the stamps and papers I used are now retired, but it's worth sharing the cards to show you some of the possibilities of the challenge elements.

First up a little reminder of what the challenge elements are -  essentially 3 long strips and 2 squares. Here are the dimensions & the initial challenge post is here.

JAI 650 Just add - Sending ginkgo leaves birthday card

 

Hello and welcome. It's time to share a new Just Add Ink challenge project. This week we need to add large letters or numbers. Who doesn't love a large sentiment. I couldn't resist using my favourite Sending dies again. They're just such a lovely font and of course their size always makes a great focal point. I teamed them with the gorgeous Ginkgo Branch dies and one of the embossing folders in the new Basics 3d 3-pack. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 648 choose two challenge - coastal grove birthday

Hello and welcome to my Just Add Ink team project share for this week's Choose Two challenge with the options of water, wall, or garden.  I did a fair amount of head scratching trying to work out which elements to choose or make with the supplies I have.

I decided to go with water and garden, creating this peaceful, coastal garden scene using the lovely, intricate Grove dies, and retiring favourite, the Inspired Thoughts stamp set. Here's how it turned out.
