More Crafting with Perennial Lavender

Posted on August 2, 2024August 2, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

This week’s card design comes from the Paper Craft Crew. It’s been kind of hectic around here lately so I haven’t joined in any challenges for a while. But I thought this was a fun design, so I’m giving it a go, even if I’m not joining in. The inkspiration for my colours, etc. came from my recent visit to a local lavender farm. While I was there I felt the need to do more crafting with Perennial Lavender. It’s such a pretty pack of patterned paper!

For my cardstock and ink colour I wanted to use a colour from the pack that I haven’t used yet. So I’m using Blackberry Bliss… one of my favourite colours! On top of the Blackberry Bliss card base I added a piece of one of the darker Designer Series Paper designs. Then on top of that I added a small piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and a sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set that I stamped on some Basic White cardstock with Blackberry Bliss ink. I popped these up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish it off I added a few Basic White butterflies using the Sketched Butterflies dies. And of course a little bit of bling with a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

I’m loving this pack of patterned paper! And can’t wait to do even more crafting with Perennial Lavender, so keep checking back.

Check out another card I made using this beautiful pack of Designer Series Paper here.

Heads up… this pack of patterned paper, along with about a dozen or more packs, will be on sale starting next week. I’ll share more details in my next post.

Simple Flip Card

Posted on July 26, 2024July 26, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

I’m not really sure if you can call this a fun fold card. And I’m not sure if this design has a name. So I’m calling it a Simple Flip card because the card front flips open. this is also a fun card design because it doesn’t have a full card front like the cards I usually make. So pare of what’s on the “card front” is also part of the “inside” of the card.

I’m big into Lost Lagoon monochromatic card this week. So I pulled a Lost Lagoon design from the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper pack. I added that to the part of the card that flips open. Next to that I stamped a few of the little butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set.

then on top of the piece of patterned paper, I added a couple more butterflies using the stamp and dies. I popped them both up with some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals along with the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Layering Leaves stamp set. And I die cut it with the Something Fancy dies. To finish it off I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

If you can think of a better name than Simple Flip card, let me know. Or if you know the actual name of this card design, let me know. I usually try to capture the name in the pictures on my phone, but somehow this one disappeared.

Sketched Butterflies

Posted on June 28, 2024June 28, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that I LOVE butterflies! So when I saw the Sketched Butterflies bundle in the new Annual Catalogue. But sadly, I couldn’t get it as part of my preorder. So I totally took advantage of this month’s sale on all the stamp and die bundles.

For this first card I’m keeping my design farily simple. I’m using Crumb Bake for my card base. Then I’m using a few different designs from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series PAper to make a fun background. I also pulld my other ink colour from the DSP; Gorgeous Grape.

On top of my DSP card mat I have a small square of Basic White cardstock that I stamped with some of the medium sized butterflies. I freamed it with some Gorgeous Grape carstock. And then I popped it up with a few Stampin Dimensionals.

The sentiment also comes from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set. I stamped that with Crumb Cake ink and layered that next to the stamped butterflies with a Stampin’ Dimensional and some Stampin’ SEAL. Then to finish is off I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies.

These butterflies are so pretty! I can’t wait to craft some more with the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and dies! So stay tuned for more projects.

In the meantime you can check out another card I made using the gorgeous Perennial Lavender DSP here.

Simple Handmade Card

Posted on June 7, 2024June 7, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

Last weekend I had the chance to spend the day with my larger team and craft the day away! It’s been a while since I’ve seen everyone in person, so I was excited. I was also looking forward to having a full day of uninterrupted crafting! (part of me is hoping I can do a little something like this once our basement is finished). I finished off a few things that I’ve been wanting to get to for a bit and started on some new projects too. Including this simple handmade card using the 2024-2026 In Colours.

The card base is Shy Shamrock. And I have a strip of Shy Shamrock Designer Series Paper too. I framed that with a little bit of Basic Black cardstock to make the colours really pop. The flowers on top of the DSP are from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. I stamped one in Pretty in Pink, one in Petunia Pop and the other in Peach Pie. You’ll want to stamp off on a scrap piece of paper first when you “fill in” the flowers. Then I stamped the sentiment in Shy Shamrock; he only In Colour I didn’t end up using was Summer Splash. This sentiment is from the Layering Leaves stamp set.

One of the other things I love about a day like this, is that I can borrow stamps, etc. from team members for a project. I don’t have Layering Leaves, but got to borrow it and now it’s on my wishlist.

I popped up the floral strip with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. And to finish it off I added a few of the large Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

As much as I love fancy fold cards, I do love a nice simple handmade card like this one!

Check out another card I made using ALL of the newest In Colours here. It’s a fun #SimpleStamping card.

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.

Basketball Themed Birthday

Posted on May 24, 2024May 24, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s been a busy week getting ready for my youngest’s birthday party tomorrow. Even though we’re not hosting it at home (cause there are WAY too many boxes in my living room) there’s still lots to do. This year my little guy wants a basketball themed birthday party.

We definitely needed to be creative for this theme because I don’t have anything current or retired with basketballs. Fortunately I found some great patterned paper at Michael’s. And fortunately I have a pretty imaginative munchkin! He wanted to help design and create the boxes we’re using for our loot bags.

For the boxes themselves we used Calypso Coral cardstock and Tear & Tape Adhesive. And then he wanted 3 black strips across the front. So I used 1/2′ strips of Basic Black cardstock. Next we added some basketballs from one of the patterned paper designs. We had to do a little cutting to get at the full sized basketballs, but the 2 3/8″ Circle punch was the perfect size.

To finish them off we added a “thanks” “friend” from the recently retired Biggest Wish stamp set. This is one stamp set that’s definitely staying in my craft stash! I stamped them in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Next I gave my youngest a couple of options. He chose to use the also recently retired Double Oval punch to cut out the “thanks”. And “friend” I trimmed down with my paper trimmer.

Of course I let him add the sentiments and fill the boxes. I think they turned out very nicely!

I still have some of that patterned paper left. So I’m going to use that to make a simple happy birthday sign for him. I have to have at least one surprise for his party!

I really hope his friends enjoy their basketball themed birthday treat boxes!

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!

Perennial Lavender

Posted on May 10, 2024May 10, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

Spring is here and we’ve been working at putting some garden beds together. I love this time of year for all the colours and of course the warmer weather! And one thing I always make sure to plant in my garden is lavender. Maybe that’s why I love the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper so much.

For this card design I’m using some strips of a couple of different designs, with the centre strip being just a little bit bigger than the rest. I’m using Crumb Cake cardstock for my card base. Even though it’s not officially one of the colours in this patterned paper pack it comes pretty darn close!

Behind the strips of DSP I made a background using a small floral image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. I stamped off my Gorgeous Grape ink onto a piece of scrap paper first. And then I stamped around the edges. I also used Gorgeous Grape ink for the sentiment which comes from the Hooray for Surprises stamp set. Then I added a few small Crumb Cake flowers around the sentiment and die cut it with one of the Something Fancy dies.

To finish it off I popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The Perennial Lavender DSP pack is so pretty! And even though this card doesn’t say “Happy Mother’s Day” it would definitely work.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

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.

The card base is also Basic Beige. And it also opens up. So there’s lots of room to add a handwritten note.

I love Basic Beige! And am curious to know what you think. Let me know in the comments.

Crafting with You

Posted on April 12, 2024April 12, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

This year for my ScrapFest Make & Take I’m using a very themed stamp set… Crafting with You. If you’ve seen the stamp set and dies then you’ll know why I couldn’t resist. I mean just the paper trimmer and emboss machine that’s part of this set make it a great addition to any paper crafter’s craft stash!

I’m pairing it with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack that’ll soon be retired. It’s nice and colourful! And I cut up a couple of different designs to give some options with this fun fold card. I wanted to do something a bit different, but still easy enough to copy from the sample. And because I have a couple of different designs of patterned paper, I’m using a nice neutral card base; Smoky Slate. Plus this is the perfect colour for the paper trimmer and scissors I die cut in advance.

To make the base, you’ll start with a standard 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base. I highly recommend that you score it in half (at 4 1/4″) before you diagonally cut half of the front of the card base off. It definitely makes it easier! Then I added another piece of Smoky Slate cardstock which I folded in half and added some Basic White to the inside and outside.

From here I simply stamped a sentiment and an emboss machine of the outside piece of Basic White cardstock using Smoky Slate ink. Then to pull a little colour from the DSP, I stamped a few little hearts with Fresh Freesia ink. Next I added a die cut paper trimmer. And to finish it off a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some bling.

I hope that everyone at ScrapFest enjoys crafting with Crafting with You as much as I have been! I’m so glad to see that it’s sticking around for a while longer.

Sadly the Delightfully Eclectic DSP pack is not. Check out a masculine themed card I made with this great pack of patterned paper here.

And don’t forget the last chance sale is only for a little while longer!

Delightfully Eclectic

Posted on April 5, 2024April 5, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

This week I’m sharing a project using a few different retiring products. Sadly, the He’s All That stamp set and dies are retiring. And so is the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack. Now you may not immediately think of using this pack of patterned paper for a masculine themed card. But there are a couple of designs in this pack of DSP that do work well.

So that’s where I started for this card design… with the patterned paper design. Once I had that I chose my colour combo, which in this case is pretty simple because they’re all neutral colours. My card base is Gray Granite. And then I layered a couple pieces of the black and white DSP on top using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To make these two pieces, I started with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the DSP. Then I lined up one corner at the 2″ mark and cut across on a diagonal to about the 1.4″ mark. To get the other piece I just flipped it around and repeated the same thing.

Behind the pieces of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP, I stamped one of the images from the Season of Chic stamp set in Gray Granite ink. Then I stamped a sentiment from the He’s All That stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut it with one of the coordinating dies. And I layered this on top of the bottom piece of DSP.

I’m hoping to do a couple more projects with the Delightfully Eclectic DSP before it retires. But in the meantime, check out another project I made using He’s All That here.

As I write this, the He’s All That stamps and dies and the Delightfully Eclectic DSP are still available. You have until April 30, or maybe sooner, to get these before they’re gone. Don’t wait!

Handmade Thinking of You Card

Posted on March 29, 2024March 29, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

Over the next few weeks I’m going to be sharing projects using some of the products that are retiring very soon. This week I’m using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper to make a handmade thinking of you card. This is also the theme for this month’s #SimpleStamping challenge from Stampin’ Up! For this challenge we can use some DSP along with the usual stamps, ink and paper.

I used my patterned paper design choice to lead to my ink and cardstock colours. The Fresh Freesia design in the Masterfully Made DSP pack has been my favourite, so I’m using some of my last pieces for this design. I’m also using some Crumb Cake to tone down the brightness of the Fresh Freesia to keep with the more subdued theme of the thinking of you card.

So the card base is Crumb Cake cardstock with some Fresh Freesia layered on top for the card mat. Then I stamped some Crumb Cake ink splatter to create a simple background. On top of that are two pieces of the Masterfully Made DSP Fresh Freesia design. I thought it’d be fun to layer some diamonds on top of the background. The centre diamond is a Fresh Freesia flower from the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set… which sadly is also retiring. I popped up all three diamonds with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then to finish it off I added the “thinking of you” from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I added that right on top of the flower. And then I fussy cut a Fresh Freesia butterfly, also from the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set.

To step up this #SimpleStamping handmade thinking of you card, you can simply add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies. Or maybe a couple of die cut butterflies from the coordinating Meadow dies.

Keep checking back for more projects featuring some of the soon to be retired products. And as soon as I can, I’ll share some projects with some things from the upcoming new Annual catalogue.

In the meantime, check out this fun slimline card I made using the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set.

Spring Sampler

Posted on March 22, 2024March 22, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

For some reason I’ve never made a Spring sampler. I’ve made a few different ones over the years… for summer, Christmas, Valentine’s Day even. And so I’ve been itching to make one recently. I’m using the Fresh like a Daisy Designer Series Paper pack as my feature. It’s so bright and has lots of floral designs. So it’s perfect for something like this! And I love one of the design especially because one side looks like it was designed to be cut up into panels. I’m using a couple of these designs on the top and bottom of my Spring sampler. And then I’ve got a couple other designs to fill in the top and bottom.

In the middle are three Basic White panels that are framed with Garden Green cardstock. The centre panel has images from the Notes of Nature and Bee My Valentine stamp sets. And the word “Spring” was made using the Garden Green cardstock and the Playful Alphabet dies. These dies are already retired, but you can easily swap in a different set. Then on either side of this panel are 2 small squares. The one on the left has a ladybug I made using the Ladybug Builder punch on top of some Bubble Bath flowers from the Hello Ladybug stamp set. And on the right is a bumblebee I made using the Bee My Valentine stamps and coordinating punch on top of some Wild Wheat honeycombs.

All these pieces are on a 12″ x 12″ piece of Basic White cardstock. And the only elements I popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals are the ladybug and bumblebee. But I did add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies in the centre panel to add a little bit of bling.

This was such a fun and simple Spring Sampler to make!

Sadly the Fresh like a Daisy Designer Series Paper is retiring soon. Along with Hello Ladybug and it’s coordinating punch. Check out a card I made using this paper pack and another retiring stamp set, Season of Chic, here.

Handmade Easter Treat Boxes

Posted on March 15, 2024March 15, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

Handmade Easter treat boxes are definitely more my thing than Easter cards. My munchkins always get a little something from the Easter bunny. And so of course the Easter Bunny (aka me, lol) likes to make something pretty to put them in.

For these cute boxes I’m using my favourite image from the Excellent Eggs stamp set from the January-April Mini catalogue. Although I do love the bunny too, he’s super cute! Anyway… instead of making them all just one colour I thought I’d use 2. And to pick my colours I needed to pick my patterned paper first. I wanted a simple design to show off the detail in the egg. So I used a Boho Blue design from the Fresh like a Daisy Designer Series Paper pack. And a Gorgeous Grape design from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper pack.

From here, I heat embossed the bunny egg design on the coordinating cardstock using white embossing powder. Then I die cut the eggs with the coordinating die. Next I stamped “Happy Easter” in the same ink colours (Boho Blue and Gorgeous Grape) on some Basic White cardstock.

To put it all together I wrapped the strips of Designer Series Paper around the Envelope Treat Boxes to make a belly band. Then I added on the white embossed eggs and stamped sentiment. Just make sure to be careful where you put your adhesive! Otherwise you might end of with the pieces sticking to the box which would make it hard to slide the belly band off.

I’ll be posting a video on my YouTube channel showing off these cute handmade Easter treat boxes in about a week. So check out my channel or watch here for an update.

In the meantime, check out a cute card I made using the Excellent Eggs bundle here.

Fun Card with Hooray for Surprises

Posted on March 1, 2024March 1, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

I finally tracked down my Hooray for Surprises dies! And so I’m excited to use all the different dies in the set. There are some more typical dies in this set. But there’s also some that will make a different kind of card. Here’s my first fun card with Hooray for Surprises… the dies AND stamps.

For this first card I’m using the die that makes a “pull me” kind of card. It’s kind of like when you pull a tab to open a box or envelope… except way more fun! And so with that idea in mind, I thought I’d use one of the designs from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper pack that looks like it’s torn. This one is Berry Burst, one of the retired colours that came back in last year’s Colour Refresh. I die cut the “pull me” tab towards the bottom of the design. And I stamped my sentiment in Berry Burst ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock to put behind it.

The card base is Fresh Freesia. Which is also my other ink colour. I used it to stamp two flowers. Then I die cut them and popped them up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

Check out another fun card with Hooray for Surprises that I made here.
