JAI 415 inspiration challenge - thankful

Today I have a new card to share, made for this week's new Just Add Ink challenge. Rachael challenged us with this beautiful image.

This is what I made...

Simple springtime card trio

Today I have three easy clean, fresh, and easy cards to share with you, all made with the sketch look flower dies in the new Springtime Impressions thinlit dies set.

More Delightfully Detailed birthdays

Don't you love when something completely lives up to its name and more? For me, our Delightfully Detailed laser cut paper is totally delightful to use & looks even better! You need to do very little with it to create a fabulous look.

After I made this navy & white card with it, I immediately made three more cards for three equally special lovely ladies. They have received their cards now so I can share them with you.

JAI 413 colour challenge - congrats new driver

 

Hello Friday! It's new challenge day at Just Add Ink and this week we're working with this tropical colour combination suggested by meeeeee.

This combination reminds me that colour inspiration is everywhere. I'd seen 3 people sitting together at church wearing this combination & made a note. I was so taken by how fresh it looked and how like our SU colours they were so I suggested it to the team, & here we are.

Also, I absolutely love our new granny apple green colour (& not just for the brilliant name). It's such a lovely bright but not too bright green, and it coordinates so well with so many other colours in our new colour collection.

So what did I make with this luscious combination?...

JAI 411 sketch challenge - delightfully floral birthday

It's sketch challenge time at Just Add Ink this week and who doesn't love a good sketch. Jan has given us this fun one to play with...

... and this is what I made using some of my new faves, from our new Annual catalogue which startes TODAY. Yippee!!

Share what you love - mix and match gatefold

Hi & welcome! Today I'm sharing the second card from my last class - a gatefold that's all about my gorgeous new floral Share What You Love heavyweight paper I've used.

JAI 409 technique challenge - 21st birthday eclipse

This week at Just Add Ink, Rachael has challenged us to use the eclipse technique on a project. This technique has been really popular over the last year so it's sure to be a popular challenge. I made this card for a special birthday celebration.

If you haven't tried the eclipse technique yet, it usually involves die cutting part of an image (a shape, word, number) then popping it back in place with a dark layer behind. This creates a fun, dimensional look. The JAI team have created all sorts of eclipse effects on their projects to give you lots of ideas so be sure to check out the JAI blog when you finish here.

Celebrate 17 birthday shutter card

Last week our darling girl celebrated her 17th birthday, and yes I'm as surprised as you are that she's 17 already. I thought she'd enjoy the surprise in a shutter card, so that's what I made.

Petal Palette shutter cards

When I shared the gatefold card in my last post, I mentioned I'm was through a bit of a shutter card & gatefold card phase, thanks to my stamping bestie, Kellie.  So today I'm sharing the shutter card project I made for my ladies only-Mother's Day class last in April, that I cased to make that gatefold.
As an extra treat I'm also sharing a shutter card Kellie made for (lucky) me. Lots of photos ahead so let's get started.

JAI 407 Just add O... eclectic gatefold

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is a letter challenge.

We need to add something beginning with 'O', so I made this bold, floral, gate fold card with the Oh So Eclectic stamp set.
