Just Add Ink #448 ... Just Add 'J'

Hi everyone, I am playing along with the challenge this week at Just Add Ink ... Just Add 'J'.

This challenge really got my thinking cap on.  I went through my stamp sets a few times and came up with a few possibilities:

• Just a Note sentiment
• Jars of Love Stamp set
• Journey theme
• Joy Ride (car theme)
• Joy (Christmas theme - a bit too early for this one for me)

I eventually decided on the Journey theme using the One Wild Ride and Artisan Textures stamp sets.

The background was created using the Artisan Textures stamp set with Crushed Curry and Soft Suede inks.

The gears & cogs were distressed with inks and copper embossing.  This gives a great rustic look to the finished piece.

The badge in the middle was made using the image from the One Wild Ride stamp set, stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock using Soft Suede ink and stamped again on a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Soft Suede ink.  The panel with the word 'Journey' was fussy card and adhere to the badge using dimensionals.  I did punch the badge out using the now retired Badge Punch, however it is very easy to fussy cut around this image to get the same look if you do not have this punch.

I added some Copper Metallic Thread and Copper Sequins of the Metallics Sequin Assortment to finish.

Thank you for visiting.

Just Add Ink #448 ... Just Add 'J'

Tuesday Challenge #3

Hi everyone, it is the 3rd week of my 'Tuesday Challenge' to use a stamp set and other goodies from the Annual Catalogue to create a card or other project.

I will confess that I cheated slightly this week and used the Gears and Cogs die from the Garage Gears Thinlits dies and the Rectangle Stitched Framelits from the Occasions Catalogue.   It just needed something behind the centre panel and the Gears and Cogs were perfect.

The stamp set is 'One Wild Ride' and the Cherry Cobbler striped pattern paper is from the Regals Designer Series Paper Pack.

The card base is Crumb Cake and I stamped the gravel image over the card front using Crumb Cake ink before adding all my layers.  I put a strip of Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler card stock behind the Designer Series Paper before I adhere this to the card front. 

The centre panel was cut using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits, the Whisper White rectangle one size smaller than the Basic Black rectangle.

I love the colour scheme of Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Whisper White, especially for masculine cards.

Tuesday Challenge #3

Hope Today Is One Wild Ride

Sharing one of the cards that the ladies made at the recent Junior Diabetes Research Foundation fundraiser.

This card uses the One Wild Ride stamp set.

The background was stamped using Smoky Slate and the Badge image in the set.  This is a great way to make your own designer series paper to match your project.

I love the colours of Red, White and Black together, the little touch of Smoky State contrasts well with these colours.

Hope Today Is One Wild Ride

One Wild Ride

I just love a new technique, and the Black Ice Technique by Melissa Kerman is just gorgeous.  Melissa has a video on Youtube that you can find here on how to actually do this technique.

For my card I have used the One Wild Ride stamp set, with a colour scheme of Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Silver and Dapper Denim.

I did a little background stamping on the side of my card base using Basic Black ink, the Gravel Image and the Route 66 image.

The Black Ice Technique is on the middle panel where I have stamped the motorbike.  This is such a fun technique and the finished effect is amazing.

One Wild Ride

Another Wood Textures Project

The inspiration for this project using the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper background came from Shannon Lane.   The strips of DSP give such a rustic look to the card.  It is a great way to use up the left over strips that always seem to be hanging around after making projects.

To make this card you need to the following pieces:

Measurements

A4 Crumb Cake cardstock cut in half to create the card base

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper - 1" strips

Very Vanilla cardstock 14.3cm x 10cm (for the inside)

Very Vanilla cardstock 13.8cm x 9.5cm

Very Vanilla cardstock 13.3cm x 9cm

Very Vanilla cardstock for the background medallion

Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla cardstock for the badge

Technique

Fold card base.

Adhere the strips of DSP onto the 13.3cm x 9cm piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. It does not matter if the strips hangover the edge as you cut these flush with the edge of the Very Vanilla cardstock piece.  Once all the pieces have been adhered you can mat this onto the Very Vanilla 13.8cm x 9.5cm cardstock piece and then adhere this to the card front.

Cut out the medallion using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits and Very Vanilla cardstock.  Stamp the badge image onto a piece of Crumb Cake using Basic Black Archival ink and punch out using the Best Badge Punch.  Stamp the image again on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out the 'Journey' word and adhere this to the Crumb Cake badge piece using dimensionals.  Adhere the medallion in place, add some Linen Thread and then the Badge over this.  Add some sequins to finish.

Another Wood Textures Project

Life is a Journey...

Hi everyone, sorry for not posting more projects this week but I have been busy designing for my fundraising day on the 9th of July. I have 34 ladies coming on the day, so I have a lot of kits to prep for.

To give myself a little break from making up kits I am playing along with the colour challenge at Can You Case It, red gray, white and black.

Using the stamp set "One Wild Ride" I cased the catalogue for the centre banner. I love the finished effect which was on a little gift bag.

 

And do not forget the inside of the card, it just finishes it off.

Thank you for visiting.
