Peek-a-Boo Card

Posted on May 31, 2024May 31, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

Now I’m not sure if this is what you call this card design. But that’s what I’m calling it… a Peek-a-Boo card. I thought it’d be fun to use the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch to make a window of sorts and then have something peeking through.

I’m using Highland Heather for my card base because it goes really nicely with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. But before I punched out my window I adhered the piece of DSP to the cardstock. That way the window lines up on both. Don’t worry about adding adhesive to the centre! This way you’ll have two circles that you can use for another project.

Also on the front I added a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set using Highland Heather ink. Then I die cut it using the Something Fancy dies and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside (and peeking through the window) I have some of the taller florals from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. I stamped these with Highland Heather ink too. Then I added a small Paper Butterfly and a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish it off.

If you know the name of the style of this card, please let me know. In the meantime I’m sticking with Peek-a-Boo card.

Heartfelt Hellos

Posted on January 12, 2024January 12, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

After Christmas this is the most wonderful time of year! At least for crafters anyway… because it’s Sale-a-bration time. This is Stampin’ Up!s biggest promotion of the year. It’s such a great time to stock up on crafting essentials like cardstock and adhesive because it leads to FREE crafting supplies like the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.

This stamp set is full of great sentiment, so I decided to pair it with the Bee My Valentine stamp set to make a cute Valentine’s day card. But the only traditional Valentine’s day colour I used on this card is pink. Well Bubble Bath actually. For this design I made my own background full of different images. I stamped the larger hearts in Bubble Bath ink. Then I stamped some flowers with Pool Party ink. And to fill in some of the gaps I stamped some little hearts in Highland Heather ink.

I used Pool Party for my card base so that I could also use the Pool Party ribbon that’s also part of Sale-a-bration. The sentiment from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set is in Bubble Bath. And I added a few more little hearts in Pool Party. Next I die cut it with one of the Something Fancy dies to create a cute tag. Then I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. And to finish it off I added some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the centres of the flowers. What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle for Valentine’s Day?! lol

Other than the die cut tag, this is a nice simple Valentine’s Day card. And as much fun as I’ve been having with the bumblebee from the Bee My Valentine stamp set, it was nice to use a few of the other images.

Check out another card I made with the Bee Mine suite here.

I’ll be sharing all there is to know about Sale-a-bration in my next post so stay tuned! Or if you can’t wait until then, head over to my online shop.

Colourful Handmade Cards

Posted on March 29, 2022March 29, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s been a while since I shared my card for a recent team card swap. So I thought it was high time that I shared some of the colourful handmade cards I got. This team card swap is for the January-June Mini catalogue and so we needed to feature one of the stamp sets from it. After that we could use whatever we wanted to coordinate with it. Check out my card here.

This first card is made by Laura Seki. I always love her designs! This cards uses the Rainbow of Happiness bundles with Coastal Cabana and Real Red. She also used the Gingham Embossing folder and added a bit of Basic Black twine. That black twine is such a nice touch. The fun part about this card is that just the bottom half opens up. So the Basic White border around the Real Red cardstock in actually on the inside.

This other card is made by Lisa Gardner and uses one of my favourite colours… Highland Heather. It’s such a pretty shade of purple! The Tulips Fields bundle is a fun one. You can create some fun scenes with it. And if you use a brad the windmill blades will turn! In this card, Lisa used one of the Pastel Pearls and the windmill blades are in Early Espresso. She also sponged the edges of the cardstock with the phrase and popped it up with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I always love joining our team card swaps! They’re such a great way to spark some inkspiration and see how others use stamp sets, etc. that I don’t have. And these colourful handmade cards are a great example of that and some of my favourites from this card swap. Remember to check out my card from this swap here. And if you want to get in on the fun then join my team! Here’s the link.
