Beach Day 2 - More beach scene cards
Hello and welcome!
It's taken a little while but today is my second post of cards I've made with the Beach Day stamp set and die bundle. This time I'm focusing on the lifesaving beach tower scenes using simple masking techniques and marker colouring with Stampin' Blends.
One of the cards was a class project too. Take a look.

JAI691 inspiration challenge - Nature's Sweetness for you
Hello and welcome! Today I'm sharing my team project for this week's Just Add Ink photo inspiration challenge. As you can see above, it's an image with all sorts of possibilities. What to do?
The neutral and metallic colours, text, and circles in the image reminded me of the beautiful Nature's Sweetness paper pack, so I used lots of the prints in the pack to replicate the grid on my card. Here's how it turned out.

JAI690 just add a fancy fold - 100th birthday faux centre step
Hello and welcome! Today's project is for an amazing milestone birthday celebrated by a friend of a friend this week and this week's Just Add Ink Fancy Fold challenge. And you all know I love a fun fancy fold.
The card request was to include two of the recipient's favourite things - reading and animals. I included the Scottie dogs from the Christmas Scottie stamp set (sadly retired), the stack of books image from the Bird's Eye View stamp set, and a pretty blue floral print from the Countryside Inn paper pack (which also has some animals on it). I also made a bookmark which you'll see below.
Here's how the card turned out.

JAI 689 colour challenge - hot air balloon birthday
Hello and welcome. It's colour challenge week at Just Add Ink, and we're using a bold combination of Gorgeous Grape and Tahitian Tide with white. I love both separately but can't say I've combined them until now. I've used them with the Hot Air Balloon stamps and dies bundle to create a bright birthday card. Here's how it turned out. Tell me what you think.

JAI 684 colour challenge - Fun fold Christmas Tree cards
Hello and welcome to my last Just Add Ink challenge share for 2023, and very appropriately it's a Christmas challenge using 'traditional Christmas colours', red, green, and gold.
I'm sharing two versions of an easy fun fold card. This design is called a square column card, similar to this card I shared a couple of weeks ago, and it were adapted from this fab card shared by Rachael Tessman.

My cards were part of my November Christmas card class and feature some of my fave Christmas stamp and die sets of this year - Merriest Trees, the Snowflake Sky embossing folder, and Joy of Christmas paper. Take a look at the finished cards.

Festive Tags Kit step up to 15 Christmas cards
Hello and welcome! Today I have 15 fun cards to share with you made with the fabulous Festive Tags kit. The kit was designed by Stampin' Up! to make 15 beautiful tags but it was really easy turning them into Christmas cards instead.
I loved the colours and images included, so over a weekend I played with the pieces in the kit and made 15 different cards. I added only cardstock (and some embossing with the Snowflake Sky 3d embossing folder).
I hope this idea will be helpful l to anyone like me who's still making Christmas cards, or any super organised people prepping for next Christmas. Take a look at how they turned out.

JAI 682 sketch challenge - Dainty flowers 80th birthday fun fold card
Hello and welcome to another project share from me. This week's Just Add Ink challenge is a sketch and I do love a good sketch. This worked well for a special milestone birthday card for a very special woman.
She loves her garden so of course I wanted to make something pretty and floral. I remembered I had some gorgeous (though retired) Dainty Flowers patterned paper that would be perfect for it so I used it for the whole card, fun fold and all. Take a look.
