More Than Autumn

Posted on September 13, 2024September 13, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

If you’ve been following me for a little while, you’ll know that I love joining in my large team’s card swaps. They’re such a great way to find inkspiration. AND it’s a great way to see projects with products you don’t have! A new catalogue is here so that means we’re having another card swap. The big things to remember are to use a stamp set from the new catalogue (e.g. More than Autumn), no online exclusives and make sure to add an embellishment.

For my design I’m using the More than Autumn stamp set. It’s such a fun stamp set and really versatile. My colour combination is inspired by fall. So I’m using Crumb Cake for my card base and Pumpkin Pie for my card mat. For all my stamping I’m using Very Vanilla. I really like the softer, more subtle colour for Fall themed cards.

I stamped my sentiment at the top and bottom of my card front using both Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie ink. Then on top of that I layered a strip of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. Next I stamped my Pumpkin Spice latte with Crumb Cake ink. The pumpkin is stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink of course. And then the whipped cream is stamped with Basic Beige. I coloured the cup and pumpkin with the Watercolour Pencils (assortment 1). If you’re light with your pressure the Early Espresso works well as an almost Crumb Cake. Then I framed it with another piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish is off I added Wink of Stella to the whipped cream and a few of the orange Faux Glass Dots.

Once I get all the cards from my team’s card swap, I’ll pick a few of my favourites to share here.

In the meantime, check out another card I made using the More than Autumn stamp set here.

Watercolouring with Flowers of Beauty

Posted on July 6, 2024July 6, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

I’ve been feeling the itch to do some colouring lately! So I was excited when the idea for this card popped into my head. I’m using a combination of things to do some watercolouring with Flowers of Beauty.

It all started with the idea of using the Watercolour Pencils. So I used them to choose my cardstock. I’m using Garden Green for my card base. And another little strip of it that I embossed with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder.

My card mat is just a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. I stamped some flowers from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Basic Beige ink. The leaves are from the Layering Leaves stamp set. Then I coloured the flowers with Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo. And the leaves with Granny Apple Green and Garden Green.

To soften and blend the colours I dipped the thinnest Water Painter in some water and brushed off the excess onto a piece of paper towel. Then I gently painted over the petals and leaves that I had coloured with the Watercolour Pencils.

I layered the embossed cardstock on top. Then I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies. I debated about adding a sentiment, but in the end I decided not to use one. I’m curious to hear if you would have added a sentiment. Here it is…

Watercolouring with Flowers of Beauty was definitely a great combination! I’ll definitely need to do this again.

Country Woods

Posted on May 17, 2024May 17, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

I love new catalogues! There’s always great new stuff in there. And I especially love to check out all the new patterned paper! One of my favourite packs of patterned paper in the new Annual catalogue is the Country Woods Designer Series Paper pack. It has some of my favourite colours in there. And I love all the rustic and wood panel designs.

I loved it so much that I used it to make the card to go with the catalouges for my customers… along with a few other goodies of course! This time I made 2 differen card designs. They’re somewhat similar and so you could kind of say it’s 2 cards with 1 design. And I used different colours and different designs from the DSP pack to change them up.

For the first design I used Misty Moonlight and Basic Beige for my colours. The piece of woodgrain DSP went on the left hand side of the card front. And on the right hand side I stamped a few flowers using the new Flower’s of Beauty stamp set and my two colours. The sentiment is from the returing Something Fancy stamp set and I die cut it using one of the coordinating dies. Then to finish it off I added a few Rhinestonce Basic Jewels.

With the second designe I used Petal Pink and Basic Beige. The piece of Petal Pink DSP went on the same side as the other card. But instead of the little sentiment, I stamped it on a larger piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and framed it with some Petal Pink cardstock. And I popped that up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I can’t wait to craft with the other designs in the Country Woods DSP pack!

I Love Basic Beige!

Posted on May 3, 2024May 3, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

The new Annual catalogue is here! Which means there are lots of new things to help inkspire our crafting. This includes some new colours. And I don’t just meant the 2024-202 In Colours. There’s a new basic colour; Basic Beige. At first when I saw it I wasn’t sure, but figured I’d give it a try. And I have to say I love Basic Beige!

I’m pairing Basic Beige with Petal Pink for this card that I made for my small team’s monthly creative challenge. There’s also a couple other new products in this card design. The patterned paper is from the new Country Wood Designer Series Paper Pack. I’m definitely going to have fun crafting with this pack of DSP! I used a couple of small strips of the DSP to frame the extra flap in the the centre. And then another larger strip on top of the flap.

On top of the flap I also added a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set. I stampin it in Basic Beige. And then I surrounded it with some flowers from the new Flowers of Beauty stamp set. This is a two-step stamp set. So I stamped the outline of the flowers first in Basic Beige. Then I “coloured” them in with Petal Pink ink. So pretty! The Basic Beige really shows off the detail in the outline, but is still fairly subtle. I framed this piece with some Petal Pink cardstock. And to finish it off I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
