Just Add Ink 203 - Sketch

Pin It

This week at Just Add Ink we've got a fun sketch to play along with which has been designed by our own Tina!

I recently received some new DSP that I couldn't wait to play with - the colours are so fresh!!!

I'm really loving the coastal tones on this DSP with the little pop of red!

I fussy cut some leaves and substituted them for the pendant on the sketch.


Here's the sketch

You'd better pop on over to the blog and check out all the fantastic inspiration the Design Team have come up with this week.
As always I look forward to seeing your interpretation so don't forget to link up!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 204

Pin It

Hello Hello!

Guess what????  The long weekend meant I had a little bit of time yesterday to create a card using the Sweet Sunday sketch.  Yippee!!

I hope you found a little time to play a long too.

I literately received some new DSP that I had to try out sooooo this sketch was the perfect opportunity.

I'm loving the bright colours and the geometrical patterns so I dare say you'll be seeing more cards using this paper!!

Also I FINALLY had time to play with the clay and molds from Stampin' UP! - they didn't turn out the greatest.... does anyone have any tips for using it?  

If you do I'd love to hear them! 

Here's the Sweet Sunday Sketch

Just Add Ink #199 - Sketch

Pin It

Hello lovely readers!

Have you gotten back into the swing of things in the craft room? Got your new year mojo on?

I know I haven't had much time to craft lately but when I sat down to use this sketch made by Tina for the latest Just Add Ink sketch challenge I found my card came together very easily!

I was so in the groove that I also made a matching envelope with my new envelope punch board!

Seriously this is a fantastic sketch to work with so you don't have any excuses not to play along with us this week!

The rest of the Design team also had a fun with this sketch giving you such a such a variety of creations to gt inspiration from.

Here's the sketch:

Enjoy your Friday!

Just Add Ink #198 Blog Hop!

Pin It

You've reached the last stop on the Just Add Ink blog hop!

This week the challenge at JAI is to play along with our blog hop inspiration using your envelope punch board or thinlets!

You should have arrived from Tina's blog - wasn't her album fantastic!

For the blog hop I've used the envelope punch board to make a gift box and a envelope!
It's was my Mum's 60th Birthday recently so this was the perfect opportunity to spend the morning in the craft room and make something extra special for her.

A simple card with no fuss lets the 60 stand out!

I followed the instructions on the envelope punch board to make this envelope however I used a tutorial here for the envelope liner.

The box I made to put her present in was made  with the guidance from this tutorial on pintrest!
I did modify it for this size I needed but other than that I couldn't believe how easy it was to make a box with the envelope punch board.

I hope you've had fun on the Blog Hop and just in case you didn't come from the beginning here is the list of all the stops -
