The Just Add Ink Challenge this week is a Choose Two – Pastels, Banner or Baby!
I pulled out a favourite Stamp Set for this card. It’s called Beautiful Moments (although now retired). The colours I used are Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue and Petal Pink – they are all from the Subtles Collection.

Just Add Ink have an Inspiration Challenge running this week. It’s pretty and has loads of different images and ideas that can be used in your projects this week.
When I looked at the pictures, the colours and heart shapes really grabbed me. I went straight to my stash of Fresh Freesia card stock. It’s such a pretty colour…..I realised that I must like the colour because I only had one sheet left!!
I used the flowers from the Beautifully Happy Stamp set. It is a lovely 2 step stamping set – it makes colouring the flowers (by stamping them) super fast and easy.
I finished the card off with an embossed background and Fresh Freesia ribbon.
You can join this Challenge at Just Add Ink and also see other projects made by the Design Team.
The Just Add Ink Challenge this week is a Choose Two Challenge. The elements are Blending, Embossing and White.
This week I have been having a big clean up in my craft room and I came across some white die cuts that I have had in my stash for quite some time.
I made a blended background panel to go behind the die cut for my card.
The colours are Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Bermuda Bay.

It’s been a busy week around here but I have still had time to put together a few cards. The cards I made this week all featured the same layout. It’s a Window card.
This week at Just Add Ink – we have an Inspiration Challenge. This means you use the Inspiration picture to inspire your cards or projects.
Here is the Window card I made for this Challenge
It’s kinda a beachy theme, with similar colours to the Inspiration pic. I added a rustic bow and an anchor charm.
When you open the card, it has a little fancy fold inside.
To see more cards inspired by this Inspiration pic, follow this link to the Just Add Ink blog.
I really enjoyed making these Window cards. See below a few more.
As I said, it has been a busy week around here. First up my daughter had her Year 12 Ball.
It was quite a build up with all the shopping for the dress, shoes, accessories. Then Hair, makeup, nails and other beauty treatments.
Sarah looked amazing, so grown up! This is a pic of Sarah (in Red) with her friend Sharnae.
The following night we had a family outing to a Six60 Concert at Kings Park. It was a great night out with Neil and I, Sarah, Ana and her Aunty and Cousin and friends.
I have had a fun time crafting this week.
I started by attending a Team Stamping day where we made several great projects and cards. We had a great time catching up, chattering and grazing too.
Since then I have spent a bit of time making Shaker cards. So I decided to put together a Shaker card for this weeks Just Add Ink Challenge.
The Challenge this week is a Colour Challenge. The colours are all current In-colours, they are bright and bold.
I teamed the colours up with the Pierced Blooms dies for my Shaker card. This card uses a Cellophane bag for the Shaker – so it was fairly quick to put together.
Here is another Shaker in this style that I made this week using the Love Cats Stamp Set – such a sweet set!
And here’s another cute little Love Cats Shaker card.
So perhaps you want to try a Shaker Card this week? Or perhaps you just want to play with the colours and join the Just Add Ink Challenge?
Hi there,
We are getting to the end of January 2023 already and I am starting to get into my Craft room. As usual, it’s in a state of disarray, but I have decided that just means, I’ve been creative!
This week I have been playing with the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set and Fancy Flora DSP.
I teamed them up with the Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge to make a pocket card.
These papers are so great – some look floral while others look like abstract paintings. Great colours too.
The Beautifully Happy stamp set, works for me because it features Two-Step Stamping which means fun and fast colouring in. Fast, no fuss colouring in, is great.

Happy New Year!
It’s time for the first 2023 Just Add Ink Challenge. As usual, we are kicking the year off with a Blog Hop. The theme is Just Add Your Favourite!!
Your favourite thing may be a colour, a favourite crafting tool, paper, stamp set or perhaps you have a favourite layout or fancy fold. Or perhaps you have a favourite thing that is not necessarily craft related?
For me, I admit it……I’m a Bag Lady!! I love Bags! All sorts of Bags. Plastic, handbags, totes, back packs….you name it. Love em!
So for my project, I decided to make a bag. Also, my favourite colour is Blue…..so I made a Blue bag.
The Blog Hop also incorporates the Just Add Ink Challenge for this week. Follow the link to Just Add Ink to share your “Favourite” project with us.
The Blog Hop is set up in a loop so it doesn’t matter where you start. All you need to do, to follow along, is click the “Next” Button at the end of each post and you will be taken to the next stop.

Happy Hopping!
Hi ya,
For me, Stampin Up has always been about Connection! Stampin Up has helped me to meet new people, connect with my community and make some wonderful friends. And this weeks Challenge is another story of Connecting with Stampin up.
The Challenge this week is Just Add Anything but a card!
To explain the connection further…..a couple of weeks ago I attended the Stampin Up On Stage local event here in Perth. Had a lovely day and came home with some great new things, Stamp Sets, ideas, new friends made (connections) and a lovely new little Stampin Up bag.
Then the following weekend I had my work “End of Year Function”. I had a new Blouse/Top to wear….needed a handbag……Oh I know – the Stampin Up one is the perfect colour! So off I went for a night out.
When I got there – I started chatting to a lady from our Perth office (that I had not met before). Having a great time….and then I noticed she was also wearing a new Stampin Up bag! Now normally, if you turned up somewhere and found you were wearing the same gear as someone else, you’d cut and run – right! But not this time!
I said to her……I know what you did last weekend! She’s like……Pardon???
So I flashed my bag!! CONNECTION!!
That was it – a new friend!
A short time later, my new Stampin Up Friend / Work colleague pulled a cute little Wine Glass Charm out of her bag and gave it to me. Loved it! So fun – I had to have a go at making some Charms too.
The Wine Glass Charms worked perfectly for this Challenge. I made a few of them and then created a box for them to go in.
Such a fun project to make – will definitely be making more.

Just Add Ink have an Inspiration Challenge this week.
At first glance – I guess because of the colour – I thought this was Christmasy.
But then I saw it was kinda a Country theme. The collection of lots of different sized images really grabbed me though – so that was the direction I went in with my card.
I used a variety of Stamp Sets to put together a collage of images. Staying with a very simplistic colour palette. This was a quick and easy card to make and could be re-created in any colour.
Here’s the link to Just Add Ink where you can see the other Design Team projects and join the Challenge yourself.
As soon as I saw this Just Add Ink Challenge I knew exactly what I was going to put on my card.
Earlier this year, my sister and I went crafty shopping and then spent several days crafting.
Here we are in the craft shop……can you tell my sister is really excited!
Funny thing is – even Dad came home with a bag of Crafty goodies!
One of the crafty items Nadine brought home was a delightful little Fairy die. I cut a few Fairies and have had them in my pile of ‘cut outs’ till now.
Here is the card I made:
I borrowed this layout and the colours from Page 54 of the July – December 2022 Mini Catalogue.
I used Fresh Freesia card stock and Ribbon. Such a pretty colours.
