Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Thursday and welcome to The Project Share Project. Every Thursday we will all share an individual blog post sharing one project from each of the other creators - maybe an inspiring card, a very fancy fun fold or simply a project that made us smile.

Creative Colour Challenges - #145

Good Evening Everyone,

As you may or may not know - I run the Creative Colour Challenges blog. Each week three Stampin Up Colours are randomly selected and I ask you to create a projects using those colours! Some week's are easier than others - but what I do find is that there's a lot of inspiration given from those who participate, so I thought that on a Sunday, once I have announced the Winner of the Week's Challenge over on Creative Colour Challenges Blog, I'd hop on over here and share the entries with you in the hope that we can give everyone some more inspiration, and I will link to those I can (as anyone can enter, you don't have to have a blog or a website), so It's also my chance to share there work and show some support.

Happy Birthday card Using Choose Happy Stamp Set. Ink Stamp Share Showcase Hop. June 2024

Good Afternoon Everyone,

today i'm taking part in the Ink Stamp Share Showcase Blog Hop - we don;t have a set theme, we just have an opportunity to share something we created.

I wanted to share this cute card I made using the Choose Happy Stamp set and a little masking. This layout is a great one to have on your books - it's simple, only one layer and looks really effective. The Choose Happy Stamp Set is a great set full of smaller images for various occasions and are great to make something like this.

What do you think?

Measurements

Bubble Bath Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

---------------------------------------------

Take the Bubble Bath card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Add one of the basic white pieces to the inside.

Using masking tape or post it notes, mark off a section approx 2" wide to the left of the remaining piece of Basic White. Ink up the flower image and cover the area inside the masked area - make sure you stamp over the edges to give a continuous pattern effect. Colour in with a selection Stampin Blends - I used Bubble Bath, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight. Remove the Masing and you should have a pretty straight lined panel. You may find that some of the colour has bled slightly but that will get covered with the next step.

Take a ruler or something with a straight edge and line up with the edge of the stamping, then draw a line down either side using your Stamp n Write Basic Black marker - if you did bleed, just make sure this line in thick enough to cover it.

Ink up the sentiments in Memento ink and stamp in the lower right hand corner.

Add this panel to the card front.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop for lots more creative inspiration

Happy Birthday Card using the Happiest Day Stamp Set. Inspire INK Blog Hop. June 2024

Good Morning Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the InspireINK Blog Hop and our theme this month is 'What's on your Desk'.

I've been playing around with some of my newer stamps sets and wanted to share a card I made using the Happiest Day stamp set. I love this cute Dragonfly image and the sentiment is lovely too. I decided on a relatively simple design, but the layers of the In Color mats really adds some extra interest.

what do you think?

Measurements

Shy Shamrock Card Stock

1pc - 11 3/4" x 4 1/8", scored at 5 7/8"

1pc - 2" x 2 1/4"

Summer Splash Card Stock

Petunia Pop Card Stock

1pc - 1 7/8" x 2 1/8"

---------------------------------------------------

Take the Shy Shamrock Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

Ink up the Dragonfly outline image in memento ink and cover the remaining piece Basic White with it. Using the solid infill stamps 'colour' in the wings using Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink ink.

Add this panel to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment into the small piece of Basic White card stock in Shy Shamrock ink and then layer this up with all the remaining pieces of in color card stock.

Add this to the centre of the card front and Job Done! I love this card, the simplicity is so effective, and although I've used all the new 2024-2026 In Colors I can see that this style would work in so many colour combinations.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - Please take a few minutes to visit the ladies listed below, you are sure to find some inspiration from this talented lot.
