Just Add Ink #392 - Blog Hop

Good Day Crafty Friends,


Welcome to another year of Just Add Ink Challenges. We are starting off the year of challenges with a Blog Hop.  The entire Just Add Ink Design Team are hopping so we have loads of inspiration to start off your crafting year. If you are following the hop you will have arrived here from Jo Stubbings. Be sure to follow the hop all the way through to see all the creations the DT have to share with you.


The Blog Hop challenge is to Just Add Something “New”. We all know as crafters that sometime over the festive season we got new crafting goodies. I was an extremely lucky girl to receive a brand new Silhouette Cameo 3. I have wanted one for a while, so best I learn the evil machines secrets.  
 
I was also lucky enough to be able to place a small Stampin Up order Just after Christmas. My cards today use one of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets - Epic Celebrations. I love those sneakers! I made three cards all with a fairly neutral colour scheme so that they can be used for either female or male teens. The guitar image also lends itself to musically themed cards.


My first card is a simple box card made to look like a Guitar amplifier.  I have heat embossed the guitar (gold) earphones (white) onto Black card and then fussy cut. Silver Foil card and a small dot Embossing Folder were used to create the speaker. The Gold Foil buttons were punched using the smallest circles on the Owl Punch. White Heat Embossed sentiments and DSP were added to the box card along with strips on the sides for handles.


The second card uses those funky sneakers coloured with Pool Party Blenders. The Sahara Sand card front was heat embossed in white and adhered to the White card base. Some vellum was roughly torn and adhered with a spot of Tombow. Over the Tombow spot, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party Stitched circles were added with dimensionals. The sneakers and Heat Embossed sentiment were adhered with Tombow.


And my third card is another Guitar themed card, using torn vellum as in the card above. The Guitar was inked in Versamark and stamped onto Smoky Slate Card. This was adhered to a layer of Black which was then adhered to the Smoky Slate Card Base. The Guitar was stamped in Black Momento Ink and coloured using SU Blends. Some Black & White Bakers Twine was tucked behind the guitar and a White Heat Embossed sentiment added with Tombow.


Next up in the Blog Hop is the super talented Kim Badelt with her stunning project. Enjoy!
