JAI 674 colour challenge - Just My Type fun fold

Hello and welcome to a new project share for this week's colour challenge at Just Add Ink design team. I thought the combination of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pretty Peacock, and gold suggested by Rochelle could be tricky, but they really work nicely together.

I chose to use the sweet and whimsical Just My Type stamp to create a fun fold card - apparently called an expanding accordion card. I teamed the stamp images with a handmade striped background made of card strips in each of the challenge colours. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 672 sketch challenge - Christmas cards four ways

Hello and welcome! Today I have a new share for the Just Add Ink design team.  Nikki gave us a super flexible sketch to work with and I immediately thought Christmas cards!... and not just because it's almost October and time is a ticking.

I chose the leafy design and teamed it with the Layering Leaves stamp set to create some elegant Christmas cards, Here's the first of four cards I made.
