INKspired Blog Hop #25 - Happy Birthday!

Well today is a very special Blog Hop! 

It is the INKspired Artist's 1st Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPPERS!!!!!

So today you would have hopped in from very talented Barbara Williams... make sure you continue to hop all the way around as I am sure this hop there will be some super special creations on show!!

Doesn't seem like a year has passed since we started! The time just flies by when your having fun!

Due to this being our one year birthday we had the task this week to create a Celebration, Birthday or Party theme for our creation.

And to go with this theme the sketch this week was another awesome design by Teneale! Although I didn't have a certain someone to give this card to... yet, I had an idea in my mind on what I wanted to create :)

I have been itching to get my hands on the Project Life Let's Get Away stamp set for a while now and I had to raid Lou Lou's craftroom to use it!!
I needed to use the little beetle in it! 
It is SO cute!!!
Especially cute with Crystal Effects added too!

I mainly used the 2015-2017 In-colours and the Cherry on top DSP has made another appearance too lol (this DSP is a MUST in your inventory!!)
The little sentiment stamp is from the Honeycomb Hello stamp set and they matched perfectly with the little beetles.
Finished off with some embellishments and you have a seriously cute HB card!

I hope my card and the others in this hop has inkspired you to make your own creation with this sketch!

Nearly forgot to mention...

To add to the Happy Birthday celebration Teneale has a prize for a someone who comments on everyone's blog so don't forget to add your comments :)

Next up is Lisa Eaton I bet she has another show stopper!

My inspiration for this card was

My Lady!

For those who don't already know I am a mad VW owner! I have the 'Lady' Beetle... a beautiful 1956 VW oval window Beetle. For the past couple of weeks she has been my daily driver! 

59 years old and she has been coping well going from the occasional Sunday drive to the chaos of the dash to and from school, the rush to work and home madness and the craziness of after school activities!

I have had lots of fun driving her around but this week sees my new car arrive and the Lady will get a deserving rest, she will get a little tidy up and will come out to shine at the next VW show.

Until next time

This Week's Sketch #INK023

 

This week I got to play around with some new product!

The Boy and Girl 'Skating by' and 'Hey Girl' stamp sets had been on my wish list for a long time now and with all the birthdays around this time of year I decided to make the purchase and I am glad I did!

Using an Aqua Painters & my Stampin' Write markers I coloured in the boy stamp on watercolour cardstock.

I layered using some Basic Black and Cucumber Crush CS and mounted it on Night of Navy CS embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder :)

For the sentiment I used my stampin' write markers and coloured each letter. The stamp used was the  'Birthday Boy' from 'Hooray It's Your Day' stamp set, on a small layered banner.

I hope you like my creation this week! I had fun watercolouring this will definitely have fun making more creations with this stamp set :)

As usual you can hop on to the next blog using the next button below and head on over to Lisa Eaton's creation :) 

Be sure to hop all the way around and see what we all have created!

Until next time

INKspired Blog Hop #INK022 - Cherry On Top

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Princess!

Welcome back to another INKspired blog hop! If you are starting from here be sure to hop all the way around... If you have just hopped in from Barbara Williams welcome to my blog and my creation this week :)

This hop is a special one for my little princess... It's her birthday next week and I have used this sketch for her invitations :)

I kept it simple mainly using the new

In-colours, Brights and the Cherry on Top DSP paper stack which I absolutely love and seem to be using it for every creation lately :)

The embellishment was made with the Cotton Paper Assortment paper. I used two punched flowers out of the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack and finished off with some Brights Candy Dots. Easy peezy :)

Up next is the very talented Lisa Eaton!! Click the Next button below and hop all the way around and see all of the the amazing creations using this sketch! It will definitely INKspire you for your next creation :)

INKspired Blog Hop #INK021 - Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

 Welcome back bloggers!

You are tuning in again for another edition of the INKspired Blog hop. 

This time you would have hopped in from Barbara Williams :) 

I am sure once again she has created something wonderful!

Sketch #INK021

So my handsome Nephew Jonathan is turning 8 today!
I don't do Boy themed cards all too often so this gave me the chance to test out the new No Bones About It Stamp set!

Can I just say I am a huge fan! It's such a fun stamp set with endless combinations!

The colours used were Sahara Sand, Cucumber Crush and Basic Black... Not a colour combo that I am used to either but I am liking it! LOTS!!

The Stamp-a-ma-jig was an essential tool for this card to get a crisp colour with the photopolymer... I would have be lost without it!

The bones stamp was embossed in white to create a boney texture :) 
and it made it look like an X-Ray tag over the top of the Dinosaur... Loving it!

I used the Cherry on top DSP paper stack for the background layer.
This DSP paper stack is so versatile... So far since I bought it I have had it out for every project I have done recently!

I had fun making this card... I always struggle to create a nice 'Boy' card... but having 3 boys in the house now I think I will need to start thinking of more for the near future!!

 I wish my (not so little) Nephew Jonathan has a wonderful birthday and we are happy this year you are back in Sydney with your family to celebrate it with us! We have missed too many already!

Super excited for you all as next up is the very talented and creative Louise Sharp! My beautiful bestie!!

Until next time xx

INKspired Blog hop #20 - Butterflies

Happy Birthday Lou Lou!!

Hi Bloggers

Welcome back to the 20th Anniversary INKspired blog hop!!

You would have just hopped in from Barbara Williams and I am certain it was a very awesome card!

Here is this week's sketch #INK020 

(I am loving this sketch!)

So the pressure is on for an extra special card being the 20th blog hop and all! 

The sketch this week I was very excited about as it suits a trifold card creation...YAY! I have done a trifold card before and to this day it is still a very popular card on Pinterest :)

My Bestie Lou Lou aka Louise Sharp celebrated her birthday at the end of June and circumstances happened where I couldn't access my craftroom to create a card :( and there was no way I was buying a card to give her... Come on it's The Louise Sharp SU Queen!! Lol.

So it was mission clean out craftroom!
Create a card fitting for Lou Lou :)
Blog it...
all with the craziness of school holidays activities!!!

Here is my creation!

I think Lou Lou will love it?!? She better lol!!

I have had the Butterflies Thinlits Dies for a while now but never used them!! It took a few goes to get it right so it cuts first go but I have got the technique right now
You need to have your cardstock down, grease paper, the framelit, then another piece of scrap cardstock on top and Voilà!!

Next up is the very talented Lisa Eaton! I am sure her creation this week is stunning!

Until next time xo
