Colour INKspiration 62 Crew Card

Welcome to the new challenge at Colour INKspiration. If you haven't played with us before, we're a group of Australian and New Zealand Stampin' Up demonstrators. You can play with us by joining in our Facebook group here which will let you play along, comment and vote for your favourite from the top 5 selected by the crew.

This week's palette is so rustic and lovely! Doesn't the graphic just make you want to play along? In addition to Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Call Me Clover and Whisper White you can freely use Very Vanilla, Basic Black, metallics and skin-tone blends.

I loved the graphic so much that I played it quite literally, taking the daisies and country-style feel. The Tin Tile embossing folder chose itself for this card. I highlighted the pattern with a light Crumb Cake sponging both to show off the pattern and to give a distressed, rustic feel to the design.

I've been enjoying making waterfall style cards because it shows off die cuts and punched shapes so well. The punched flowers from Daisy Lane have paired up nicely with some of the die cut foliage from the Wild Rose dies. The Perennial Essence floral centres finish them off well.

SIP 199 Let's Hear it for the Boys

I've always struggled with masculine cards and the challenge at Stamp, Ink, Paper gave me reason to have another go as does the challenge at The Male Room.

The Geared Up Garage suite certainly makes life easier on the masculine card front. I'm also having a bit of a love affair at the moment with waterfall cards, so I thought I'd see if they worked out in a masculine setting.

Up close, you can see the way using StazOn black has distressed the cogs in a very pleasing way.
I like that the sentiment is general enough to lead into either a birthday or Father's Day.

After this, I do think that a waterfall card can work just as well for the boys!

If you've been thinking about getting this set, then don't delay. While it's carrying over to the 2019 Catalogue, it will no longer be available as a bundle. Getting it now will save you 10%. And if you like the look of the Classic Garage DSP, then get it now before it retires.

If you live in New Zealand and don't have a demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas and provide you with Stampin' Up products.

SUO 222 - Celebrate

Tomorrow is Mother's Day but in our family, we've celebrated early. Today, my girls took me out to a winery for a tasting and platter and tonight, we had dinner with my mother-in-law.

Usually, I only make one Mother's Day card. This year, I had Good Morning Magnolia to play with. Having made one card that I thought I'd use, I've ended up making another with it that I've given to my mother-in-law instead. Since the theme at SUOnly Challenge is 'celebration', I thought I'd share it there.

I've seen around on the internet a number of waterfall cards, so I decided to give one a go. I've seen lots around but when it came to instructions, I came to Shannon Kissane, via my Colour Inkspiration team-mate, Elizabeth Gross and also Steesha Bloodheart. Their instructions for these beautiful cards are very easy to follow.

Here's my take, using Good Morning Magnolia, a suite that will be available on June 4 in the new annual catalogue.

The beauty of these cards is that they fold up perfectly to fit into a regular envelope.
Here's mine, folded. The ever-versatile Well Said bundle let me have the sentiment of my choice.

Since each card used a half sheet of two different coloured sheets of card, I made up the other halves into a card in the same same style. It turned out prettily too.
