Hey Everyone

Time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Karren Johnson – who is not too far from me – New Zealand. Not far if you count a plane ride and a passport…. Karren’s creations are gorgeously detailed and full of amazingness.

I had these coloured flower images, from the Stippled Rose Stamp Set, sitting on my desk. Thought it was time to add them to a card. I took some paper from the Coujntry Woods DSP pack and cit it into pieces to match the sketch.

I then layered the images with die cuts from the Golden Greenery Dies to give a fullness to the layers.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyuone

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Amy O’Neill.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I decided I needed another wedding card for my stash, so Amy’s sketch was just what I needed to create this.

The Stippled Rose Stamp Set with its gorgeous roses are my go-to for elegant florals and have coloured them with Wild Wheat Blends. Wild Wheat Ink has yellow-y gold tones and I have added touches of Basic Beige DSP and cardstock.

As always, I’ve embellished with ribbon and bling for those extra elegant touches.

The team have created awesome inspiration. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches to see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Our latest challenge at Just Add Ink is to:

I had to think about this challenge as I don’t have any chocolate stamp sets or dies. So in the end I went with decorating chocolate bars. That counts doesn’t it?

I actually had need for these gifts as I recently attended Stampin’ Up!s 2024 Onstage Event. I coordinated a catch up for all South Pacific current and past Artisans. These were my swaps for the amazing group of girls I finally got to meet. Of course there was hugs, laughs and lots of fun.

The Stippled Rose Stamp Set sat pride of place on the two individually wrapped chockies. They were then wrapped with a belly band of DSP and tizzy’d up the way I like them.

We’d love for you to join in this challenge, Head over to Just Add Ink and link up your project.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

We have a new sketch to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by my fab friend Jen Brum. She is a gorgeous chick who loves to walk more than I do….way more.

I threw this card together as we have been beachside packing up our beach house for the next couple of years. Rent money will hopefully help me retire early so I can craft all day!

I had these flowers sitting on my desk already coloured. These flowers and leaves are from the Stippled Rose Stamp Set. All I had to do was fussy cut them out and add them to my layers. I added a strip of embossed Pretty Peacock Cardstock on to an ink flicked Basic White Cardstock background.

I also had a strip of Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP laying around (because my desk is ultra-messy) so this was added to my card.

As I created this card with a wedding in mind, I added a Silver & White Ribbon bow as I felt this added an extra elegant-ness to it.

The team have created awesome cards for this challenge. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see their creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to our first challenge for 2024 at Just Add Ink. As always, our first challenge is a blog hop. Make sure you go for a tour and see the gorgeous creations the Just Add Ink Design Team have created.

Our challenge for you is to:

This challenge is right up my alley. Just Add Flowers? Yes pls!

I sat down at my desk and took out the Stippled Rose Stamp Set. I am loving the artwork in these roses and gave them colour with my Fresh Freesia Blends. The leaves were coloured with a combination of Mint Macaron Blends and a green Watercolor Pencil – I forgot what colour it is though…

I embossed three squares of Basic White Cardstock with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder and added a strip of ribbon to the one on the top right.

The next hop along the way is my very crafty friend Ann Alexander. Click here or on the badge below to take you to her blog and to continue the hop.

Hey Everyone

Ready for a new sketch to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches? This week our sketch hostess is the uber talented Judy Rozema. Make sure you head over to her blog and check out her gorgeous creations.

I’m actually glad to get back to my floral creations. I love doing Christmas, but flowers are really my thing!

The stamp set I’ve used for my card is called Stippled Rose Stamp Set. I took out my Wild Wheat Blends for these blooms. To create shadows and definition, I added touches of Smoky Slate. The leaves have been given colour with my Old Olive Blends. All of the images were fussy cut out. I do have dies to cut out these flowers, but I like a really fine edge out the images.

I added a strip of Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper to a strip of Wile Wheat Cardstock and strategically place the flowers and leaves to hide the glue that I stuck them together with. I added texture to the background with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder and a strip of Gold Faux Leather Trim – just coz I could!

The team have created wonderful projects to inspire you, so make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Amy O’Neill. Amy is the creator of gorgeous cards and always with wonderful colour combinations.

All of the leaves and flowers were sitting on my desk having been discarded from other projects, so this card was super easy to throw together. I only had to add the papers. These pretty papers are from the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper pack. These papers are part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion starting 4th January. They can be yours free when you spend AU$90.

The rose images are from the Stippled Rose Stamp Set and the leaves have been diecut with the Notes of Nature Dies – these products are available in the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalogue.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome projects using Amy’s sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday so that means we have a new challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. Our challenge for you is to:

When I saw this challenge, I almost pulled out as I don’t have any stamp set or die set that relates to alcohol…. Then I got over myself and thought a bit more creatively and came up with alcohol markers! I have heaps of those!

My background has been created using my Stamping’ Up! Blends, isopropyl alcohol surface cleaner and Vellum Cardstock. I took my Vellum Cardstock, Flirty Flamingo and Berry Burst Blends and added droplets of the isopropyl alcohol to the ink. I moved the ink around with a brush and the background below is the outcome. First time doing this and I really love the effect.

The rose and leaves images I added to the card are from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalogue. This gorgeous stamp set is called the Stippled Rose Stamp Set. I received it recently as a preorder and as you can image, they were one of the first sets I had to have from the new catalogue.

The team have created wonderful projects for this challenge. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
