Beautiful Friendship with InspireINK Blog Hop

When I saw the theme in this months InspireInk Blog Hop I knew exactly what Stamp Set I would use...



The theme is Back to Basics. I had to make a project using 1 stamp set, 1 colour of cardstock and ink and 1 punch or die.



I love the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set ...I just can't stop using it !



I used one of the stamps in Mango Melody to make the background paper and the fabulous rose stamp for the top layer.

Instead of using black cardstock as a layer along with Mango Melody cardstock I used a ruler to draw around the Whisper White layers with a black marker pen to make the design pop.


I added a bow made with some of the Crinkled Seam Binding in Crushed Curry, which matched nicely and some Black Enamel Shape dots.

While I had the stamp set out with my inks I made 3 more in different colours.

The Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape cards are 5x7 inch cards.


The Poppy Parade and Pacific Point cards are 6x4 cards.



By making four cards I also got to use all the sentiments in the Stamp Set.


I had great fun making these projects...it goes to show that you don't need lots of products to make great cards.

Please hop around and look at all the other creations for more inspiration.

Happy Stamping

Well Written Thank You Card with Garden Lane Designer Paper

Hello,

Last Saturday was World Cardmaking Day and I had a lovely time in my craft room making cards, sometimes you just need a day to yourself.

I needed a bit of inspiration to get me started so I followed the sketch in the Inspire. Create. Challenge #53.


I made a set of notecards with the Well Written Dies and the Garden Lane Designer Paper, so quick and easy they were done in no time at all and no stamping !

I layered some of the designer paper on a Garden Green background and die cut the stems and the word "thanks" in the same colour.

I placed the word "thanks" face down on an offcut of Whisper White card and traced around it leaving about an 1/8th of an inch all the way round and then fussy cut it out. When you turn this piece of card over and add the die cut it gives it a nicely shaped background.


Happy Stamping
