TGIF Challenges - Tuesday Throw Down (#tgifctd01)

Hi there, today I am playing along with the first Throw Down Challenge at TGIF Challenges.

 


Here's the Brief -

    
I love the idea of throwing a few Stampin' Up! products out there and seeing what you can make from a selected combination.  I don't have the Work of Art Stamp Set or the Hello You Thinlits ... yet ;) so that left me with the remaining four to make something from - Gold Foil, Butterfly Thinlits, Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss Ink.  The 'gold' trend is a favourite of mine at the moment as well as the new Watercolor Wings Stamp Set, so I made a butterfly easel card similar to one I created a few days ago.

   
If you haven't checked out the latest TGIF Challenge Blog, you really should; lots of wonderful talent and gorgeous paper craft samples on display.

Thanks for stopping by,

Photo Wallet and Butterfly Easel Card The Colour Combo for Just Add Ink's 57th Challenge Butterfly Easel Card I designed a butterfly easel card for my latest project at UStamp with Dawn and Friends using the Punch Bunch Stamp Set . For this challenge I popped the little butterfly from the Bliss Set , added some pearls and stamped the gorgeous flourish from the same SAB stamp set to form the background pattern for both die cut butterflies. I also sponged around the edges with River Rock Ink. PS: Thanks again to Nancy Riley for choosing this card as one of her iPicks for this week! Inside the Photo Wallet This would make a Lovely Hostess Gift (especially for a scrap-booking enthusiast) Complete with Photo Mats Instructions for the Photo Wallet can be found HERE .

Just Add a Technique - Challenge # 17 at Just Add Ink

Paper Beads and Faux Silk Asian Artistry This week at Just Add Ink we have a challenge with a difference. It takes on the form of a Blog Hop. You will need to visit all the Design Team Member's Blogs and check out all the wonderful tutorials the girls have put together to highlight a certain technique. Decide on which technique you'd like to try and make a card, scrapbook layout or 3D item etc. and enter it in this week's challenge on the Just Add Ink Blog. I have put together a very simple tutorial to show you how to make Paper Beads and Faux Silk . Paper Beads Step 1 - Using your paper cutter, cut out some long triangular strips of paper the length of your chosen DSP. Mine have been cut about 1.5 centimetres at the widest point. I only needed 3 beads but I cut an extra one in case I 'muffed' up. Step 2 - Starting at the wide end, roll up the strip of paper applying glue as you roll. At the beginning make sure you leave a big enough hole to thread your Hemp Twi...

Scalloped Tag Easel Card with Punch Art Vintage Caravan

Image
Just popping in for a quick post with a cute little project to say a fond farewell to SALE-A-BRATION 2014 .  We had a beautiful and varied selection of free product to choose from (as always) and I think that the top two for me were the gorgeous Sweet Sorbet DSP and Banner Punch .       My brother is really into restoring Vintage Caravans (campers) and I bought a book for him today called, VANTASTIC - Retro Caravan Holidays in the Modern World by Kate Ulman, which inspired this bit of Punch Art on my Scalloped Tag Easel Card . Somehow, I think that I will be back with some more caravan paper creations as I really enjoyed making this one.
