Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop September – Christmas in Summer

23 September 2021
18 Comments

23 Sep

Hello, lovely ladies,

Welcome to my blog! 

Today’s card is Ink and Inspiration Design team Blog hop 

Blog Hop Theme: – PICK A SEASON 

I selected – Christmas in Summer in Australia. Although, I know it’s an entirely different selection for a season. 

But for me, Christmas means Summer in Australia. 

Measurements:
  • Thick Basic White – Base card 
  • Layer 1: Basic White-10 cm by 14. cm 
  • Layer 2: Designer Series Paper – 9.7cm by 14.1cm 
  • Extra pieces of basic white, basic black for die-cutting and stamping.
  • I used all the die-cut pieces to attach to the background of the designer series paper. 
  • Stamped the tree image using Misty Moonlight and stamped the sentiment in Basic Black cardstock with white embossing powder. 
  • Added tiny dots of Chalk marker on the background of the Designer Series Paper. 
  • Added some Black bakers twine on the using the glue dots. 
  • Attached is the sentiment using Stampin’ dimensional.
  • The final touch added some Rhinestones. 
  • Decorated inside using the extra die-cut pieces and the scrap piece of the Designer Series Paper. 
Hope you all like my today’s card. Check out other Design Team Member’s projects for more inspiration. Leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you all.

Today is post for the Hop Abroad InstaHop! Each mo Today is post for the Hop Abroad InstaHop! Each month we hop along with a different theme, and this month’s theme is all about… FUN WITH SHAPES! 

I had so much fun playing with a mix of squares, rectangles, circles, and more — layering them together to create a clean but playful design. I also added a simple straight-line detail in the background to keep everything looking modern and balanced.

For my base card, I used Secret Sea — such a bold, rich colour that instantly makes the whole card feel so elegant and intense. It’s seriously the perfect base for making the shapes pop!
