Just Add Ink #573 | Sketch Challenge

 Hello there stamping friends! Happy Friday! Welcome and thanks for joining me on my blog today. It's so good to have you here. I pray that you are all safe and well. It's time for another Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #573 | Sketch Challenge.

 Just by looking at this weeks sketch it is fairly basic but with that you can make your project CAS (Clean and Simple) or you can go all out. I've gone for a fairly clean look this week, clean for me, as I want to make quite a few of these to send out to people as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) or otherwise know as a 'paper hug'. So the cleaner the card is the quicker it is to make 'en masse '.  Looking at my card now I can think of a few things on how I can 'Step-It Up'. Sometimes though having a stripped back card you can really see all the different products at work. Are you a CAS card maker or one who likes lots going on?

 My card today uses the Hand-Penned Suite from the Stampin' Up! 2021 - 2022 Annual Catalogue. Can I say that the Hand-Penned DSP from this suite is absolutely beautiful and has a range of colours in it that will appeal to everyone.  I've started my card today with a Shimmery White base and then used to strips of the Hand-Penned DSP. These two patterns are on either side of the one sheet and the go so well together.

 

I've then layered Penned Flowers Dies with an image from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. How pretty is the die cut in the background? I love it! I've then finished my card off today with the Mint Macaron Soft Velvet Ribbon, Linen Thread (Of Course!), Elegant Faceted Gems and an Embossed Sentiment from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set.

 There are lots of AMAZING creations from the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team on the JAI Blog. Go and check out everyone's take on the sketch. I love to see how everyone has a different creation all using the same sketch. Can't wait to see what you do with the sketch.

 

Thanks so much for stoping by!

Happy Stamping!

Just Add Ink #571 | Just Add Lines Challenge

   Hello there stamping friends! Happy Friday! Welcome and thanks for joining me on my blog today. It's so good to have you here.  I hope you're having a fabulous day and that you have all been safe and well. Today we over at Just Add Ink have another creative challenge for you. This week we are 'Just Adding Lines' - Just Add Ink #571 | Just Add Lines Challenge - suggested by fellow team member Kelly Kent.

The possibilities for lines as part of your project is limitless - could be lines of cardstock, lines on DSP or even lines of a song. Whatever you think lines could be, incorporate that into your project.

I've made my first Christmas card for this weeks challenge using the super cute and oh so adorable Stampin' Up! DSP Penguin Playmates DSP, that you can currently earn for FREE with the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration promotion.

 I've tried to incorporate as many lines as possible to fit with this weeks challenge and all my line elements come from the DSP. On the base layer, the scarves and hats on the animals, even on the strips of DSP behind the animals. 

This is one of those fabulous DSP's that Stampin' Up! put out and all the hard work is done for you. All I had to do was to fussy cut the animals out and then co-ordinate some of the patterned sheets together to make the card. If you wanted to use the DSP to mass produce some Christmas cards, a little bit of fussy cutting and then to cut up the DSP patterned sheets and you've got your cards done. 

Finish your cards off with as much or as little embellishment as you desire. I've added some extra layers using the Hippo & Friends Dies, a little it of embossing, some Misty Moonlight/Silver Baker's Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo pack, Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and some of the 2021 - 2023 In Colour Jewels. 

There are lots of AMAZING creations from the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team on the JAI Blog. Go and check out to see what lines elements the JAI Design Team used. I love the out of the box thinking that some of the DT memebers used for their projects this week. Cant' wait to see what your project will be!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
