Happy Chanukah

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

Happy Chanukah everyone! Last night was the first of 8 nights of celebrating. To celebrate we light the candles and there are a few presents. We don’t do gifts every night like my youngest wants, but we do play dreidel and have fun. I also make cards to send out to all our Jewish family and friends. Since I need to make more than 2 dozen cards just for Chanukah, I keep the design simple. And the Celebrate the Miracle stamp set makes it easy to make simple AND pretty cards.

For the card base I’m using Balmy Blue. Balmy Blue is also my main ink colour. To start I stamped a few Stars of David in the background with Balmy Blue ink. But the sentiment, “sending love and light”, I stamped with Wild Wheat. It’s such a lovely golden colour! I also used Wild Wheat for my candle flames. Chanukah candles are often colourful, so I stamped those with Balmy Blue ink. And the Chanukkiah is stamped with Smoky Slate. I popped up my lit Chanukkiah with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I added a few Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins to add a little more sparkle.

The Celebrate the Miracle stamp set makes it so easy to make Chanukah cards. This stamp set is definitely going into my permanent stash! I can’t wait to see how my projects for our upcoming family dinner turn out!

Happy Chanukah everyone!

Wedding Cards with Abundant Beauty

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

This weekend’s going to be a busy one for us! We’ve got two birthdays and a wedding to celebrate. I usually have a decent stash of birthday cards. But when it comes to weddings I try to get some inkspiration from the couple’s invitation. And as soon as I saw this one I’ve had a picture in my head of what I wanted to do! I knew I just had to make wedding cards with Abundant Beauty Decorative masks…. specifically the sunflower masks.

The invitation was full of flowers and deeper colours. So for the card base I’m using Basic Black, which was also one of the colours they used. On top of that I layered some Wild Wheat cardstock and another piece of Basic Black. The next layer is a stamped piece of Very Vanilla. I stamped the large flower from the Quiet Meadow stamp set with Crushed Curry. And a few smaller ones with Cajun Craze.

I also used these colours for my sunflowers. Starting with Crushed Curry and then adding a little Cajun Craze to the centre of my petals. Then I used Wild Wheat and Early Espresso for the centres. For the leaves I used Old Olive ink. I made a whole bunch because my mother-in-law asked if I could also make her a card to give to the couple. Thankfully it wasn’t too time consuming to fussy cut them all out!

I switched it up a little bit for my mother-in-law’s card. The colours are the same, but I embossed a piece of Wild Wheat cardstock with the 3D Painted Texture embossing folder. I also used a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set which I die cut with one of the coordinating dies. The sunflowers on both cards are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. But the sentiment on my card wasn’t.

I just love how both of these wedding cards with Abundant Beauty turned out! These decorative masks will definitely be staying in my craft stash for a while after they retire.

If you want to add these masks to your craft stash, don’t wait too long! These are on the list of retiring products and won’t be available after January 3rd… if they last that long. Find them and the other retiring products in my online shop.

Handmade Fall Card with Cottage Wreaths

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

September is here and Fall is just around the corner! So before I start diving into my Christmas crafting I thought I’d share a handmade Fall card with Cottage Wreaths. This is such a fun set of stamps and dies! It’s great for just about any season or occasion. I’m looking forward to some Halloween crafting with it!

In the meantime though I paired it with the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. I know, the title makes you wonder if you can use it for anything other than Christmas. But I promise you that you can… and not just with this design that I used for this card! For this card I used the dark wood grain design. The card base is Wild Wheat, one of the new In Colours. I also used Wild Wheat as my main ink colour.

To create the wreath I stamped off onto a scrap piece of paper first then I stamped onto some Very Vanilla cardstock. Then to add a bit of those gorgeous Fall colours, I stamped some leaves using Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. The coordinating dies made is really easy to cut all these out, including the two Wild Wheat acorns.

The acorns framed the sentiment which I cut out using one of the Meadows dies. And then I popped both the wreath and the sentiment up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then to finish it off I added a few of the Wild Wheat In Colour Dots.

I think this handmade Fall card with Cottage Wreaths might need to come with me to one of my Thanksgiving dinners!

Different Kind of Gatefold Card

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

I totally took advantage of this month’s Designer Series Paper sale from Stampin’ Up! There are so many options. But I was able to keep it to just 2 new packs of DSP. For today’s card I’m sharing one of those packs… Fresh like a Daisy. And I’m making a different kind of gatefold card. Fresh like a Daisy is such a great pack of patterned paper for this time of year! Lots of flowers and colours. It actually uses all of the new 2023-2025 In Colours AND some of the other new colours from the Colour Refresh.

To pick my colours I picked my piece of DSP first. I’m using one of the designs with Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat. I just love the large daisies on this design! And I love how this gatefold doesn’t meet in the middle like usual.

For the belly band I used a piece of Moody Mauve cardstock to match the card base. Then I put a little bit of the other side of the same sheet of patterned paper on top. And in the middle I used the Circle Sayings bundle. I stamped the floral image twice to make a Moody Mauve wreath. And then I stamped the sentiment with Wild Wheat ink. Once it was dry I punched it out with the coordinating punch and popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. And to finish it off I added some Wink of Stella to my wreath.

I enjoy a good fun fold card and so making this different kind of gatefold card was fun!

Check out another card I made with one of the other beautiful packs of DSP that are on sale right now here!

Handmade Mother’s Day Card

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

Somehow this year Mother’s Day snuck up on me. In the past I’ve made some fun fold cards for my mom. But this year it just didn’t quite work out. I still managed to craft a pretty handmade Mother’s Day card though.

For this year’s card I used the Season of Chic stamp set and dies. I’ve had my eye on this one for quite a while and I finally added it to my collection recently. The images are great and so versatile. And there’s a nice variety of sentiments too. Both things I LOVE in a stamp set!

For colours I used Boho Blue and Wild Wheat from the new 2023-2025 In Colours. I also added a splash of Old Olive for the leaves. The flowers and sentiment I stamped in Boho Blue. Then I cut out the flowers, along with a few extra, with the coordinating die cuts. And popped up the flowers and sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used Wild Wheat for the splotchy image. And I also used a piece of Wild Wheat cardstock with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder for a little something more.

Handmade Mother's Day Card

If you want to add a little something more to this handmade Mother’s Day card, you could add a few of the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots.

I can’t wait to craft some more seasonal projects with these! In the meantime you can check out one my previous Mother’s Day cards here. And you can take a look at the Season of Chic stamp set in my online shop here.
