Just Add Ink #618 | Colour Challenge

 Hello stamping friends! It's time for a new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #618 | Colour Challenge. This weeks colour combo has been suggested by fellow JAI Design Team Member - Jo. This week its a fantstic colour challenge using Crumb Cake, Pacific Point and Old Olive.


 While I know that these colours don't scream Christmas, I've gone for a CAS (clean and simple) Christmas card using the Stampin' Up! Storybook Gnomes Suite with the focus on using the super cute Gnomes Dies.

I'm lovng these Gnomes dies and I can see me using them in a while variety of different colours! How gorgeous are all the added details in each die cut like the embossing and stitching. Those details really help those dies come to 'life'.

 
While I normally wouldn't put these colours together I love how they look with the Gnomes. To finish the card off  I layered some strips of cardstock and DSP with the White Baker's Twine and then added and White Embossed Sentiment on Basic Black cardstock.

The Just Add Ink Design Team have lots of amazing creations for you and to show you their take on this weeks challenge colours. You'll be surprised at all the different projects we came up with. There is something for everyone. We hope that you'll join in this weeks challenge. I can't wait to see you join in and to see your take on the colour challenge.
 
 Thanks so much for stoppingby!
Happy Stamping!

Just Add Ink #616 | Sketch Challenge

 Hello there stamping friends! I hope that you are having a fantastic week and a fabulous day! It's Friday, Yay, and that means it's time for another Just Add Ink Challenge | JAI #616. This week we have a fun sketch for you suggested to us by fellow JAI Design Team Member, Narelle Farrugia.

 It's a basic sketch design but has a lot of scope for you to make this sketch your own. 

I've used this sketch to have a play with the super cute Stampin' Up! Tree Lot Dies. These dies are a current Sale-a-bration item. Meaning spend $180 (not including P & H) on Stampin' Up! products and you can get these gorgeous dies for FREE. Also these fabulous dies co-ordinate with the Trees for Sale stamp set from the July - December 2022 Mini Catalogue. I've just used these dies on their own today without the stamp set.

I've kept my card base layers very CAS today with layers of Basic White Cardstock and then used pops of colour in the die cut pieces to create the super cute little camping Christmas scene. I love that the caravan is combined with Christmas elements. It really resonates with me as most Christmas holidays, even sometimes a few days before Christams my family and I are out camping somewhere in our caravan enjoying the summertime sun.

I've used Pool Party and Basic White cardstock for the caravan, Garden Green and Real Red for the wreath, bunting and trees and then Daffodil Delight for the little stars on top of the tree. The Merry Christmas comes from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and then I've finished the card off with some Linen Thread and the Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems.

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 stopping by!
