All Together

Posted on January 28, 2022January 28, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

One of the great things about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator are the sneak peeks at new products. And the chance to purchase them before they’re officially released of course. So this week I’m sharing something new that’s coming this Tuesday. It’s the All Together suite of products. And the special thing about this suite is that Stampin’ Up! is releasing a whole new set of skin tone Stampin’ Blends just for it! Along with all the new Blends there’s a new pack of black and white Designer Series Paper, a new stamp set and coordinating dies.

While I would love to get it all, my budget said otherwise. So for now I have the Here Together stamp set and the Light Stampin’ Blends. I’ll definitely be adding to my blend collection with my next order. In the meantime I wanted to do a little something with what I have.

I really wanted the image to be the main focus so I decided to have some Designer Series Paper for my background. For this card I used one of the designs from the Sale-a-bration Sunshine and Rainbows DSP. Then I pulled the Melon Mambo from the design and used that colour to stamp the phrase. The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then I coloured them with my new Stampin’ Blends.

To make them pop even more I cut out both the image and phrase using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and popped them up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. And of course I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a little something extra! Here’s the finished card…

I love the new All Together suite and am looking forward to seeing more diversity in everyone’s creations! This suite is available starting on Tuesday until May 2nd. In the meantime check out this post using some of the other Stampin’ Blends. And here’s my online shop for when you’ve got your list all set to go.

Sweet Talk

Posted on January 25, 2022January 25, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

When I saw this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge (PCC456) I wasn’t sure what kind of card I wanted to make. But then I remembered I haven’t dug into my pack of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper yet. With Valentine’s Day around the corner I’ve been itching to get into it. I love the colours and designs! So this week’s vertical sketch challenge worked out perfectly. Here’s the sketch…

I wasn’t sure which design from the DSP pack I wanted to use for my card. There was one design that I knew I had to use, but there were some others that were really calling to me. In the end I decided to use 2 different designs for this one. To add to the Valentine’s Day theme for my card I pulled out my Heart Punch Pack. This pair of punches work so well together! I used just the scalloped heart for my other DSP design and then I used both to punch and layer some cardstock hearts.

Instead of using the Sweet Conversations stamp set I used the Heartfelt stamp set that coordinates with the punches. This way I could dress up my cardstock heart and not have to worry about the phrase fitting or not. Plus the dotted heart image was a great way to pull in the Basic Black from the card base. I don’t usually use black for my Valentine’s Day card, but I tried it out last year and just love how it makes the reds and pinks pop!

To finish it off I popped up my hearts with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. And then added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some bling. Can’t forget to add that! Here’s my finished card…

I can’t wait to get to some more crafting with the Sweet Talk DSP, so make sure to check back here for more!

Friendly Hello

Posted on January 18, 2022January 18, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

This past weekend I had an online catalogue launch party on my Facebook page to celebrate the new catalogues. There was a lot going on! Games, prizes and the chance to check out some of the products from the January-June Mini and Sale-a-bration catalgoues. And of course what stamping party would be complete without some stamping! So I had a live crafting session. And for my customers who registered, they received some supplies to stamp along… and some treats too! I used the Friendly Hello stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. Partly because I love it and partly because I thought most stampers would have some stamp sets with flowers and birds to substitute.

I thought about using the Designer Series Paper that comes with the free stamp set, but decided not to. I did pull my colour combination from the DSP though and used Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. With these colours I made my own stamped DSP. I love doing this and this one turned out nice!

Underneath I added a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that I embossed using the new Gingham Embossing Folder. It really adds a little something to plain cardstock! And I think this may be my new favourite embossing folder. I also wrapped some Petal Pink cotton ribbon around it and tied a bow. This ribbon comes from the new Cotton Ribbon Combo pack. It comes with Petal Pink and Misty Moonlight.

From there I added the bird on a branch image and a phrase. Both were cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and popped up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then to finish it off I added a bit of bling with a few of the new Brushed Brass Butterflies. I love crafting with these sssooo much! I’ve already used over half a pack! Check out one of my other cards using these butterflies and some of the other great Sale-a-bration products here. Here’s the card from my party…

I’m sad that the Friendly Hello stamp set and DSP are only around until February 28th. But I’m definitely going to make the most of it! I hope you like this card as much as my customers and party attendees do!

Amazing Silhouettes

Posted on January 14, 2022January 14, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

Back in November I attended OnStage @ Home. Just like everyone else Stampin’ Up! switched their annual conference online. And while I do miss the in-person events, I still enjoy the online version. They do a great job! Anyway…. as part of attending OnStage I received the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set which is in the new January-June Mini catalogue. I have to admit that I wasn’t as excited as with this Prize Patrol, but did see some potential.

This card is my first design using this stamp set. And to ease my way into it I paired it with a few other stamp sets. I started my design thinking I would make a monochromatic card. And one of the Pool Party designs from the Sale-a-bration Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper was perfect! This one is a nice simple design and won’t overpower the other elements of the card. So Pool Party is my main colour for this card.

The central image is the butterfly from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set. Behind that are the dotted circle images from the Sweet Conversations stamp set. Both of these I stamped with Pool Party, of course. But for the dotted circles I stamped them full strength and then once more for a faded image too. Then the phrase, which I stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, came from the new In the Moment stamp set. This set also came from OnStage… I bought the swag box this time around and that was one of the goodies inside!

To highlight the phrase and butterfly I cut them out using the Stitched Rectangles and Stitched So Sweetly dies. And then I popped them up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a couple of the Brass Brushed Butterflies. I just love these!! As soon as I saw them at OnStage I knew I had to have them. And when they ended up being one of the other Prize Patrols I was super excited. Here’s the card…

The Amazing Silhouettes stamp set is definitely growing on me. I already have a couple other ideas in my head for other projects.

To fill up on supplies and make your own version of this card, head over to my online shop. Or if you want to get in on the sneak peeks and free products and join my team you can do that here. Plus when you do before February 28th you’ll get 2 extra stamp sets for free! Or if you want more info before joining the Stampin’ Up! family check out my join my team page here.

Sale-a-bration is back!

Posted on January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s that time of year again! And Sale-a-bration is back! Which means it’s time to stock up on your crafting supplies and get exclusive products for FREE! I am just loving this year’s catalogue from Stampin’ Up!. There’s lots of great Designer Series Paper and stamp sets. For us seasoned crafters this will be a review. But if you’re new to crafting then here’s what you need to know about Sale-a-bration.

Sale-a-bration is Stampin’ Up!s biggest promotion of the year. From now until February 28th there’s an extra catalogue filled with exclusive products that you can choose from for free with your order. And depending on your order you can choose different products. If your order is $60 or more then you can choose from the Level 1 ($60) products. And if your order is $120 or more then you can choose from the Level 2 ($120) products. If you manage to hit $180 then you can mix and match!

One of my favourite products from the Sale-a-bration catalogue is the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP. It’s so colourful and fun! Plus it coordinates perfectly with the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and dies from the January-June Mini catalogue.

And as always there’s more! When you host a qualifying workshop, or you place an order of $375, you can get the Calming Camellia stamp set. This is a great time of year to host a workshop. Not only do you get more when you’re the host, but your friends and family get more too!

The other thing I need to mention is the extra bonus when you join the Stampin’ Up! family. The Starter Kit is always a great deal at $135 (no tax or shipping) for $165 worth of Stampin’ Up! products, a Paper Pumpkin kit and all the business supplies you need.

Sunshine and Rainbows

Posted on January 7, 2022January 7, 2022 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s that time of year again… Sale-a-bration time! The new catalogues just launched on Tuesday and I’m so excited for them. So today I’m sharing a project using 2 of the new Sale-a-bration products. The first is the Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper. And the other is the Catching Butterflies stamp set. Both are super cute and are some of my favourites from the Sale-a-bration catalogue!

To start my design I knew I wanted to use the Catching Butterflies stamp set. So next I needed my colour combination and for that I pulled from the DSP pack. There are so many fun and colourful designs is this pack of DSP! I decided to used the design with the Pool Party clouds and was pleasantly surprised when I flipped it over and could use the other design as well. So Petal Pink ended up being my other colour.

I stamped the girl with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a couple of butterflies in Petal Pink. So to bring in the Pool Party from the DSP, I used that to stamp my phrase. The phrase is also from the Catching Butterflies stamp set.

To make sure I could still see lots of the DSP I cut out the image and phrase using the Layering Circles and Stitched So Sweetly dies. Then I popped them up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a few of the Brushed Brass Butterflies. I’m a big butterfly person, so as soon as I saw these in the new January-June Mini catalogue I knew I had to have them!

Here’s the finished card…

I just love the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP and can’t wait to craft with it some more! Keep coming back for more projects using some of the products from the new catalogues. Plus you can also get exclusive project sheets when you sign up for my weekly newsletter here. Or if you’re all set to dive in and place your order to get your free Sale-a-bration products then head over to my online shop!

Awesome Otters

Posted on December 31, 2021December 31, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

The new catalogues are set to launch next week! So I thought I’d share a simple card using the Awesome Otters stamp set. This comes from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalogue, which I know you’re going to love. I have always loved otters, so when I saw this set it immediately jumped to the top of my wishlist! The images are super cute. And they’re great whether you decide to colour them or not.

For this simple card I wanted to show off some of the other great products from the Sale-a-bration catalogue too. So I paired these cute otters with the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper. The card base is Bermuda Bay for the water of course and the DSP design is Pool Party. I really wanted to show off the paper, so I trimmed down the images into squares.

I stamped the phrase and otters in Early Espresso ink. Then I coloured the otters with the first pack of Watercolour Pencils using Early Espresso and Bermuda Bay. There’s also a little bit of Melon Mambo and Old Olive in there. I wish the Stitched Shapes dies were still around. If they were I totally would have used them for this card. Instead I just made Basic White cardstock squares.

I popped up a couple of the otters with some Stampin’ Dimensionals and just used Stampin’ SEAL for the phrase and other otter. That made it easier to stagger the images so that you could still see most of the stamped images. Then to finish it off I added a few Opal Rounds. There are some Faux Sea Glass shapes that I would have loved to have added from the upcoming new mini catalogue. Those will definitely be on my next order!!

I know I’m going to have a lot of fun crafting with the Awesome Otters stamp set. And I can’t wait for you guys to see what’s in the new catalogues!

Bay Window Card

Posted on December 17, 2021December 17, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s time for the last Fancy Folds Design Team blog hop of 2021! I have so much fun participating in these blog hops. Even when I’m pushing myself to get it done in time. This month we’re making a Bay Window card. I’ve seen these before and they look so neat! And as usual I’m finding that it’s easier to make than you think. This one especially. You can check out LeeAnn Greff’s video here if you want to try it out yourself.

For my card design I immediately thought of the soon to be released stamp set, In the Moment. One of the images is perfect to set up so that the woman is looking out of bay window. So of course I had to use it! The next piece to my design was the Designer Series Paper. I was using the Beauty of Earth DSP for another project and one of the designs caught my eye as I was about to put it away. It’s the blue design with what looks like trees and splotches (aka snowflakes possibly).

From here I decided to use Misty Moonlight for my card base and I stamped the image and inner phrase using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. For a bit I debated about colouring the image, but decided I liked it better as is. I did add a few Misty Moonlight snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes to prop up my window. I die cut it using one of the Meadows dies and the image using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

If you wanted to add a little something more to this, you could add a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels. This is one time for me where I decided to not add some bling to my card. I know hard to believe right?! Here’s the card…

The Bay Window card is such a simple fun fold to make! Remember to keep hopping and check out all the cards. Up next is Mette Nordling Shaw’s card which you can check out here.

Peaceful Place

Posted on December 14, 2021December 14, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

I wasn’t sure if I would do another Paper Craft Crew challenge before the end of this year. But when I saw this vertical sketch challenge (PCC450) it sparked some inkspiration. I’m in the middle of crafting my holiday cards for friends, family and my customers. I was thinking of doing something simple with some Designer Series Paper and this sketch is perfect for my customer holiday cards. Here’s the sketch…

For my design I immediately thought of the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper. (I’m a little sad that this suite is retiring soon) From there I decided to create a monochromatic card. So I used Smoky Slate for my card base and ink. The phrase and image comes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in the Annual catalogue. Then to emphasize the silver in the DSP I heat embossed the phrase in silver. And to add a little bit more sparkle I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel and used the Frayed ribbon from the upcoming new January-June Mini catalogue. It’s so soft and there’s a little bit of shimmer to it.

Check out the other designs for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge here.

I also wanted to share a couple more projects featuring the Peaceful Place suite. These are two cards that I got in a team card swap. They both feature the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. The Just Jade and cork card was created by Tracey Holz. And the Basic Gray and pink card was created by Laura Seki. Laura also used the Whimsy & Wonder DSP in her design. These are two of my favourite cards from this card swap!

Keep looking for more projects featuring retiring products. Next week I’ll be sharing some projects using the Sweet Treats bundle. In the meantime you can check out some projects using Frosted Gingerbread bundle here.

Frosted Gingerbread

Posted on December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

I’m back with another couple of projects featuring some retiring products from the July-December Mini catalogue! This time I’m sharing one of my favourite stamp sets… Frosted Gingerbread. I also love the suite that it’s a part of; Gingerbread & Peppermint. Making gingerbread cookies at this time of year is something I’ve done since I was a little kid. And now my munchkins help me with the baking and love it just as much. This stamp set is super cute and it reminds me of baking gingerbread cookies… how could it not?!

This first card shows of the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set on it’s own. I used a combination of Real Red and Old Olive ink. And used some of the returning, now retiring, Real Red Sheer Ribbon. I simply stamped different images from the stamp set randomly on some Basic White cardstock to create a background. And then I did it again with a smaller piece of Basic White that I popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

If you want to step this card up a bit you can use the Stitched Rectangles dies for the smaller pieces of Basic White. Or even add a few rhinestones or gems. I liked keeping this one nice and simple!

For my other card I wanted to show off some of the great Designer Series Paper from this suite. The colours and designs are perfect for the Christmas holidays. And some of the images on the DSP can be cut out with the Gingerbread dies. Although for this card I decided to fussy cut some of the gingerbread oven mitts.

I used Old Olive and Real Red again which goes with the DSP. Then I popped up the oven mitts and phrase using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a little bit of White Crinkled Seam binding ribbon behind the phrase. And I wanted to add a bit of bling on this one so I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

These cards were fun and easy to make. I’m definitely going to miss the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set… and the rest of this suite!

Check out last week’s projects featuring the Time of Giving bundle here. And you can check out all the retiring products in my online shop. These are only available until January 3rd, or while supplies last. So don’t wait too long!

Sparkly Christmas Cards

Posted on November 30, 2021November 30, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

Tomorrow is the first day of December! And we are less than a month away from Christmas! I’m doing pretty well with my holiday shopping, but as usual I’m behind on my holiday cards. The first batch is almost ready to go out, but I still need to start prepping for my second batch. If you’re like me and still need some inkspiration for your holiday cards, then I’ve got you covered! Here are a few more cards from a team card swap. These ones are sparkly Christmas cards and use some different stamps, etc.

This first card was made by Stephanie Nash, my upline. She used the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and the Whimsical Trees bundle. I love the silver foil and other colours in the DSP. And I love how she silver heat embossed on some vellum. And it’s hard to see, but she also used some Wink of Stella Glitterbrush on the stamped trees. So pretty!

I often like using snowflakes for my holiday cards. So that’s probably one of the reasons why I love this card Linda Warrington made. Plus she used Blackberry Bliss, which is one of my favourite colours. Although I never would have thought to use it for a Christmas card. She used the Merry Snowflakes bundle for this card. There are some Blackberry Bliss snowflakes stamped behind the die cut ones. I love the rhinestones in the centre of the snowflakes. And how she embossed more snowflakes on some of the foil from the Silver Foil Specialty pack.

The last card is from Pam Struwing. She also used the Stitched Snowflakes dies to cut out her silver foil snowflake. And I love the pieces she used from the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper pack! It’s a nice simple card with a neutral colour.

I just love these sparkly Christmas cards! I’m just about always adding some bling to my designs so I enjoy seeing it on other people’s cards. Especially when it’s using products I don’t have. Which is one of the many reasons why I love doing card swaps. Check out some of the other swaps cards I received here.

Pinwheel Tower Card

Posted on November 19, 2021November 20, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

The Fancy Folds Design Team is back with another blog hop! And this month we’re making a Pinwheel Tower card. I love the look of this card! And I love that it fits in one of my usual invitation envelopes! LeeAnn Greff has a good video with measurements that you can check out here.

For my design I decided to make a holiday card. I’m definitely getting into the holiday season. And for this card I decided to use some returning products. I started with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and used it to pull my colour combination; Pear Pizzazz and Real Red. Pear Pizzazz is such a nice shade of green. Plus I love just about all the designs in this paper pack so it didn’t take much to coordinate the different designs. I even made sure to match up the designs when the card is flat. Check it out…

To go with the Heartwarming Hugs DSP I decided to use the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and coordinating dies. I’m so glad that these are still in the Annual Catalogue! These were a go to for me last year when they first came out. And I love going back to it every once in a while. To add a little something more to my card I layered two of the small poinsettias to create a fuller one. Then I added a Pearl Basic Jewels to the centre of them as well as a few to one of the larger stamped poinsettias.

The phrase and blank piece of cardstock were cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. These dies are a new favourite of mine and I love the different designs.

I had a lot of fun designing my Pinwheel Tower card. And as usual it turned out to be easier to make than I initially thought! Make sure to keep going on this month’s blog hop and check out Gina Connor’s design here.

Special Birthday Card

Posted on October 29, 2021October 29, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

October has a few birthdays for us. This is a special birthday card that I made for my mom. I always like to make something a little different for her. Lately I’ve been making fancy fold cards for her. Check out the card I made for her for Mother’s Day here. I got the idea for this fun fold from Patty Bennett. She’s a successful demonstrator from the United States and recently got a chance to do some crafting with Shelli and Sara Douglas.

For the cut out in my card I decided to do something different… I thought it would be fun to use the Cloche dies and make a shaker card. I love shaker cards! They’re so much fun and so easy to make. Since this is a birthday card I went with the cupcakes for inside the cloche. I’m just loving the Sweet Treats stamp set. The images are so cute and it covers more than one holiday.

In terms of the colour combination I wanted to keep it nice and bright. So I chose from the newest In Colours; Pale Papaya and Fresh Fressia. I also used the In Colour Designer Series Paper. Usually I wouldn’t have thought of putting these colours together, but they actually work nicely with each other. For ink I used Pale Papaya and Fresh Fressia of course, but I also added some Crumb Cake. That way the colours would really pop on the cupcakes.

For each panel I switched it up just a little bit. And then I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for the Basic White pieces on the inside and outside of the card. Inside the cloche shaker dome I added a bunch of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins. These sequins are so pretty and you know that I love to add bling to just about all my cards!

I hope you like how this special birthday card turned out as much as I did!

And here’s the link to Patty’s video if you’d like to try to make one yourself.

Fall Themed Sampler

Posted on October 26, 2021October 26, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

I’ve been thinking about making a Fall themed sampler for a while now. (If you’re not sure what that is, it’s similar in size to a scrapbook page and is meant as a home decor piece) I already had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to do, but just hadn’t had the chance to get to it. So when I saw this week’s Tic Tac Toe challenge from the Paper Craft Crew (PCC448) I was inkspired to get it done. For my row I went diagonal and chose Metallic, Patterned Paper and Die Cuts. Here are all the options…

I started my design with my patterned paper. I used one of the designs from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack as my base. Then I added a little bit of the wood grain design in the centre. For the die cuts I used the Detailed Pumpkins dies. I knew that one of the stamp sets I was going to use was the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set. So it made total sense to use those. Then for the metallic square I used some of the Brushed Metallic cardstock. I also added a couple of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.

I love all the colours of fall! So it was nice to use a bunch of different colours for this piece. I used a combination of Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow from the DSP. And I also used some Crumb Cake and Pale Papaya. In terms of stamp sets I used a few different ones as well. Pretty Pumpkins of course, as well as Time of Giving and Beauty of Friendship.

I really like how this Fall themed sampler turned out! You can check out the other entries for this Tic Tac Toe challenge here. And you can check out one of my previous entries into the Paper Craft Crew Challenges here.

Triangle Gatefold Card

Posted on October 15, 2021October 15, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

This month the Fancy Folds Design Team is making a triangle gatefold card for our blog hop. I love gatefold cards and so I’m excited to share this one with you. Recently I made a gatefold card with a belly band. You can check that out here. I used the gorgeous Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper for that one and thought that it would be great for this card too. Especially since the card base for this card is the DSP.

When I was choosing a sheet of DSP I had to make sure that I liked both sides. This can be a bit tricky sometimes, but with this pack of DSP it wasn’t. So once I figured that out I could pull out my cardstock and ink colours. For this card I just used Misty Moonlight.

For the images and phrase I used the Time of Giving stamp set. This is a new one for me and I love how this one set covers a few different holidays. In the end I decided to go with a Christmas card. I just love the snowflake and swirl image! It makes a really nice background for the phrase which also comes from this stamp set.

Once I had my DSP all folded I added my framed snowflakes and swirls with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. You definitely want to make sure you only put them on one side of the cardstock. And since I’d popped that up I just used Stampin’ SEAL (tape runner) to add the phrase. But before I did that I cut out the phrase using one of the smaller Stitched Rectangles dies. Then of course, last but not least, I added some bling. And for this card that ended up being some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The triangle gatefold card was super easy to make and it looks great! Make sure to keep going on this month’s blog hop and check out Aude Barbara’s card here.

And if you’d like to try this out for yourself you can check out LeeAnn Greff’s video!
