One Stamp At A Time - Poppies/Paris/Purses - New Mini

Hello Crafty Friends

Welcome to the first One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for 2020. Yay!!!! To kick off the New Year we are showcasing some of the fantastic products available in the new Mini Catalogue. Our theme for January is Poppies/Paris/Purses - all of which can be found in the new catalogue.

My creations today use the Poppy Moments Dies but I haven't used them to create Poppies.  For the first two cards, I decided to pair the die cuts with some Gold and Black striped DSP.

The Gold Foil striped DSP is from the Golden Honey DSP Pack which can be earned FREE during Sale-A-Bration. There are 12 sheets of gorgeous patterns to chose from and has been designed to pair with the Honey Bee Bundle (which is also available in the Mini Catalogue). However, true to my style I went outside the norm and chose to team different products from different bundles.

To tie the floral die cuts in with the bold striped pattern, gold foil die cuts and heat embossed sentiments have been used along with glimmer paper and sequins.

Being a huge fan of texture I was excited to see so many new embossing folders in the mini catalogue and couldn't resist adding another to my collection.  The final card I have to share today uses the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder to create the background. 

That is all from me today. Be sure to keep hopping through the Blog Hop for loads more inspiring ideas and projects shared by the talented One Stamp At A Time Design Team.

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Just Add Ink #487 - Sketch

Hello Hello Crafty Friends

Welcome to the final Just Add Ink Challenge for 2019. I hope you and your family are all ready for the madness that is Christmas!! This weeks JAI challenge is Just Add A Sketch. I love sketch challenges and was especially looking forward to this one as I supplied it! 

The card I have to share with you today is not the card I had envisioned creating for this weeks sketch! The items I wanted to use are still in Transit......somewhere between Sydney and Perth! So with my knickers in a twist, I marched upstairs to my crafty space and found a few items left over from previous projects and whacked them together to create this thank you card.

I started with the double die cut Tropical piece that has been cut from Shimmery White card. Using an Aqua Painter and a few different coloured green ink pads I quickly coloured the panel. Once dry, the darker green splatters were added. 

The Tropical Die cut panel was then adhered to a piece of embossed white card and then a piece of basic black card. Granny Apple Green and Blushing Bride panels were adhered on diagonals to the Crumb Cake card base with the Tropical panel placed in the centre.

I stamped the flowers from the Painted Poppies stamp set at Onstage and decided to use them for this card. Ink has been applied using sponge daubers and then the images were fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals.

To finish the card I added the die cut sentiment which has been created from pink blended card, die cut and then adhered to black card and fussy cut.

That is all from me today. We would love for you and your crafty friends to play along, if you have a blog you can add your creation to the Just Add Ink gallery here. Don't have your own blog?
