Just Add Ink - JAI 139- Theme Challenge

JUST ADD SOMETHING NEW

The latest challenge from Just Add Ink is encouraging us to use something new - ie new Annual Catalogue or New Mini.  Tough choices, I have so much stuff to chose from that it's difficult to narrow it down to one card.  Here is one, with lots of new product on it.

I've used the Window Framelits to create this easel card, plus the Perfectly Preserved and Friendship Preserved sets and Cannery Framelits for the Jar and greeting from the Holiday Mini.  I've used the Lacy Brocade embossing folder on the Pool Party card for the background and Papillon Potpourri stamp for the butterfly which I've hand cut.  Cardstock used was Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla and Pool Party, plus vellum for the jar which was coloured from the back with Regal Rose marker to represent something red in the jar, like jam.  I've also used the Raspberry Ripple ribbon and an old favourite die Beautiful Wings.

Here is a closer look at the front.  You may have noticed in the background there are a few of these cards.  Well, I've killed two birds with one stone, so to speak, as I was in the middle of making these cards as swaps from the Holiday Mini and it was perfect timing to enter this for JAI 139 challenge.

I must have rocks in my head as there were so many elements for this card.  Most people choose something a little quicker for a swap.  I'm not known to take the easy way out.  Here are all the cards lined up. 

I think they look fantastic laid out like this, and they have also been delivered for distribution.

What do you think.  Please feel free to leave a comment and thanks for looking.

    They're beautiful Carolyn. I love how you did the jars on vellum and the window framelits make a great easel card. Glad you could play along with us at JAI this week.

    Like what you have done with that card. Love the jar. Great swap. But as you say a lot of work as well. I might try doing something a little easier for mine. Haven't even started yet! Vx

    These look great Carolyn. At least you had a die to cut them all out with instead of having to do it all by hand. Thanks for joining in with us at JAI this week.

      Thanks Jo, I did have to hand cut my butterflies though, but I find it relaxing.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
