Attention Shoppers Birthday for JAI #753

Happy Friday to you and it is just a few days before the official start of Winter here in Australia. 

It's been a strange Autumn with devastating drought here in Victoria and fatal floods in NSW and QLD. So I hope that wherever you are, you and your family is safe and able to enjoy seeing some crafty challenges even if for whatever reason, you are not able to participate this time. Hopefully, you can join us soon.

This week at Just Add Ink we have a cute Sketch Challenge for you to use in your projects from Tristan. 
As always, our design team have created a variety of ways of creating this sketch to inspire you.

We hope that you can pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog and see all the inspiration and other entries and we'd love you to join us if you are able.

For my version of this sketch, I created a Window using my Paper Cutter and raised that up and added it over the gorgeous Friends for Life DSP. Then each of the 4 birthday special images from the retiring Attention Shoppers Bundle are coloured and added over a Stitched Rectangle.

In this upright photo, you can see the difference that some Wink of Stella can make - silver sparkles show up especially well over darker colours.

The sentiment is added over some white card that has been run through with the Forever Plaid EF and black and white striped ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you can join us at Just Add Ink as I look forward to seeing how you will use this sketch in your crafting this week!

Memorable Shaker for JAI #751

Happy Friday and welcome back! I hope you've had a good week and are ready for a relaxing weekend?

It's time for our next challenge at Just Add Ink and this week's fun Just Add... a Shaker Card is from Kerry.

There are lots of items that can be used to create the shaker elements and lots of images that would be well placed to be used as shaker elements. I hope you enjoy the cards that the design team have created to inspire you and we'd love you to join us!

For my card this week I used the delightful Memorable Blooms bundle. The pretty dies and the window that it creates seemed to be asking for a shaker card! 

To add a little colour on the side, are both a leaves assortment and a small flower spray coloured using Blends and Copics.  Then a combination of Sprinkles were used inside the shaker window itself so that it looked full and shakes freely.

The result with the pink background and floral images is a rather pretty feminine card that is yet to find itself in the post.          

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you can pop on over to Just Add Ink and enjoy the inspiration from the design team. We'd love for you to join us this week and to see what sort of Shaker card that you would enjoy making.

Card stock: Basic White, Lost Lagoon

DSP: In Colour (2024-2026)

Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black and Blends and Copics

Stamps: Memorable Blooms Artistically Inked

'Til next time,

Shopping for Cake for JAI #749

 

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to the first Friday in May! Here in Australia this coming weekend is our Federal Election but there will still be plenty of time for craft activities I hope and perhaps that will mean you can join in this challenge with us.

This week at Just Add Ink we have a fun Choose Two Challenge suggested by Nikki. She's asking that we choose between Circles, Cakes and Coffee. I hope that you can pop on over to JAI and see all the cards the design team have created to inspire you and we'd love you to join us.

I chose to use Cakes and Circles and you could say, paper plates for my card!

Yes! This is very Clean & Simple card in design but sometimes that is all you need.

The cute cake and sentiment are from the retiring Attention Shoppers Bundle and the Circles (or paper plates!) are from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I love that these circle dies give you lots of choices of edge details - including these ones that do look perfect for a party! And there are also circles in the background DSP used. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope that you can pop on over to Just Add Ink and see all the cards the rest of the Design Team have created and then join us and show us which Two of Circles, Cake or Coffee that you have chosen to use for this challenge. I can't wait to see!

Card stock: Petunia Pop, Basic White

Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black, Blends and Copics

Stamps: Attention Shoppers

Accessories: Die Cutting machine, Spotlight on nature Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Attention Shoppers Dies, White EP, Sequins.

'Til next time,
