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.

Hi lovely Crafters, Today’s project is inspired b Hi lovely Crafters,

Today’s project is inspired by the Stamping Through the Catalogue challenge. I CASE'd this month's #STTCCASE , keeping the simple layout while following the sketch and colour combination.
I used the Nature's walk Designer Series Paper. 
It was the perfect opportunity to use up lots of my scrap pieces-proof that even the smallest leftovers can create something beautiful! 💚
Here’s my finished card. I hope it inspires you to give it a try too! 😊is card followed the sketch and the colours. Challenges are always fun!

Today I'm sharing a masculine card created with th Today I'm sharing a masculine card created with the beautiful Nature Symphony Suite. I love how this suite brings the beauty of the outdoors into our crafting with its nature-inspired images, coordinating dies, and gorgeous Designer Series Paper.

Masculine cards can sometimes be tricky, but the Nature Symphony Bundle made this one easy! I started with a mix of Designer Series Paper patterns and colours to create a natural, layered background, then added die-cut elements to bring texture and dimension to the design.
