The Just Add Ink Challenge this week is to Add Shimmer or Shine to your projects. This is a fun Challenge.
I made a colourful Birthday card using silver Glimmer paper.
The card is for a special young lady (my daughter Sarah), who just turned 18!
Sarah also got her Driver’s License just days before her Birthday too – so I added a little car to her card.
Can’t believe she is 18!

Just Add Ink have a Choose Two Challenge this week. You can choose from Leaves, Flowers or Pots – so that means the ideas and options are endless.
I choose Leaves and Pots and made a Double Decker Pop Out card.
I used the Forever Fern stamp set with Garden Green and Crushed Curry Ink.

Just Add Ink have a Colour Challenge this week. This colour combo really challenged me. Fresh Freesia, Pretty Peacock and Cajun Craze.
I tried out a technique I have not really done before. It’s called Reverse Black Out and uses the reverse side of a 3D embossed image. The technique really makes the colours pop and it’s really fun and easy.
I used the colours on 4 cards. Here are the other three. On the first of these cards I also used the Black out technique and included a Fancy Fold.
Perhaps you might like to have a go at using these colours this week? Head over to Just Add Ink to share what you make with us and to check out what the rest of the Design Team have made using these colours.
For Just Add Ink’s Challenge this week, I created a diagonal gate fold card. It’s a Sketch Challenge this week that has been suggested by Tina.
I used Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo card stock to create a two-toned front with a little Bee in the middle. The Bee and Flowers are from the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set.

This week’s Just Add Ink Challenge is…….. Just Add a Fancy Fold!
Great Challenge aye?
We all like Fancy Folds – there are so many to choose from too.
I decided to make what I am calling a Windmill Fold card. I don’t know if it has another name, but that’s what it reminds me of.
I made an acetate belly band so that the DSP and Fancy Fold were still visible.
Here’s another colour version of the Windmill card.

Here is the next Just Add Ink Challenge – it’s a Choose Two Challenge.
The elements you can choose from are Sequins, Stars or Stitching. I chose Sequins and Stitching.
I used the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set to create some colourful little bees.
To add stitching I had a template to guide where I put the holes, before hand-stitching with needle and thread. I used iridescent sequins in the middle of the flowers to add some sparkle.

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!
Here I am, back after a break over the Christmas / New Year period. I’ve been back at work for a couple of weeks now and already looking forward to the next holiday – Hahaha!!
In saying that, my holiday was very relaxing and quiet. I really didn’t get up to much. The weather here in Perth has really warmed up – so it’s great weather for swimming and relaxing by the pool.
In true Just Add Ink tradition, our first Challenge for the Year is a Blog Hop.
The theme for the 2024 Blog Hop is Flowers. Here is the card I made.
I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to make lots of bright Sunflowers. Then I cut them out and arranged them around the edge of the card, creating a frame for my sentiment.
I have made quite a few cards with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. Here are some of them.
The Blog Hop also incorporates the Just Add Ink Challenge for this week. Follow the link to Just Add Ink to share your “Flower” 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.
Make sure you hop around to see each of the Design Team’s projects.
Next on the hop is Tristan Dawes. with a wonderful fun and funky card.
Check out a couple of my recent pics below. Sarah is now on an Ice Hockey Team – The Wolves – she’s loving it. I treated myself to a cute little planter – very zen! And a couple of Flower pic’s that I took to send to my sister.
So, have you finished your Christmas Shopping yet?
My project this week was inspired by decorations that I saw, while I was Christmas Shopping.
Just Add Ink has a Choose Two Challenge this week where you can choose from Trees, Presents and Ornaments for your projects.
I made a Tree with some little presents underneath. It was a fun project, made with things I found in my craft room.

Just Add Ink have an Inspiration Challenge this week. The inspiration picture has a non-traditional Christmas theme. The colours are bold, bright and really lovely.
I decided to make a Shaker card. I really like how the glitter added a bit of sparkle. I also used a die to make the Shaker a Tree shape.
This is a fun Challenge – perhaps you might like to give it a go? Head over to Just Add Ink to join the Challenge.
Just Add Ink are running a colour challenge this week. These colours look so great together.
I used my new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to create my card this week.
These stencils are so fun – they layer and layer to create lovely flowers.
