Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! I Love Lace Wedding Card

Hi

I made this card by experimenting with a heat embossed image and then pressing it into coloured ink and water. The heat embossed image resists the ink thus retaining its pattern, and the coloured inks merge and blend into fun patterns in the background.

I used Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana & Crisp Cantaloupe since they blend so well together.

I cut them into strips and mounted them on black card stock for the Freshly Made Sketches sketch this week. I thought it looked so pretty that it should be a wedding card....so I put a wedding sentiment on it from Label Love and scattered it with sequins (sneak peek from the Holiday Catalogue!) :)

Note - I used the 12x12 (30cm x30cm) Whisper White Cardstock to get this square card (which measures 12 x 24cm when flat)....it is more cost effective when doing square cards as you get two out of one piece. :)



I hope you like my card! :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Kind Koala

Hi

This card was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch....they have a cool challenge this week to use a tag either alone or on a project.

I received Kind Koala and some Crumb Cake Blendabilities in my last order and I couldn't wait to try him out on a project.

I know that koala's are grey, but because there was Sahara Sand in the Moonlight DSP card stock, I thought the Crumb Cake would look better so I took a bit of artistic licence here. :)




Hope you like my card!

Stampin' Up! Australia - Christmas Flower Patch Card

Hi

Here's a card that I made with everyone's favourite "Stamp Set of the Moment", Flower Patch!

I am part of a Facebook demonstrator group called "Elite Stampers" and we love to share ideas with one another, answer questions and generally have a great old crafty time. If you join my team, you will get to join this group too!

The challenge this week was to create a Christmas Card with a non-Christmas stamp set. The sketch at Retrosketches inspired me and BAM.....a Christmas card with the Flower Patch stamp set was born!

I hope you like it.



Cheers
Alison xx

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Sketched Birthday - CASE-ing the Catty #3

Hi

At CASE-ing the Catty this week, we are exploring the Birthday chapter of the catalogue. 

CASE - The acronym stands for COPY AND SHARE EVERYTHING. The latest Stampin' Up! ® Catalogue certainly encourages crafters to do just that as it is jam packed with amazing, inspirational projects.

The idea is to feature a section of the Stampin' Up! ® catalogue each week using the projects in the catty as inspiration.


You can directly CASE (Copy and Share Everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combo, embellishment, just to name a few examples, as a springboard for your own creations.
Here's a Badge to paste to your blog:

 Guidelines


  •   Create a new project for the current challenge (no back linking)
  • Mention CTC Challenges in your blog post and link back to the challenge blog so others can join in on the fun.
  • Let us know what project you CASED and make reference to the page of your country's catalogue where you got your inspiration. 
  • SUO products (retired or current) may be used in your projects for CTC Challenges. 


So let's go!



For my card, I was inspired by the card on page 51...see below....the card designer for the catalogue used Giggle Greetings which is very cute, but I don't have it! (yet), but I do have Sketched Birthday and I thought the piece of cheese in the original could be a slice of cake on a plate!

I used the colour palette from the original inspiration photo and used the basic layout too. I am a little bit in love with the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder....such a fun way to add texture to a background.
