Happy Friday and welcome! It has been lovely to see how you all have responded so encouragingly to our longer challenge times at Just Add Ink. It has been heart warming to see, so thank you very much!
This week at Just Add Ink we have another new style of Challenge for you - to make Stencils, Dies or both the main feature of your project. These crafting tools are often used in a supporting role - for backgrounds or to cut out a stamped image. This week is the time to let the stencils and dies shine! Yes, you can use stamps as well but in a supporting role to dies and stencils.
My card this week uses Dies and is very special to me.
I will be holding a Christmas card making workshop at the Melbourne campus of Guide Dogs Australia for their clients and volunteers today and this is one of the cards we will be making.
I have been a client and volunteer with Guide Dogs for the last 7 years and am very grateful for all they do for me and so many people. This workshop will be held at the Guide Dogs campus where there will be large magnifiers - including digital ones that use a camera to scan an image and bring it up on a screen - can be available to workshop attendees thanks to the so people who may not usually be able to make a card - or perhaps think they couldn't - should be able to make and enjoy these cards

Many of us remember making our first cards and that feeling of accomplishment. Now imagine if you thought your disability would make it impossible....but discovered that you actually could! How wonderful would that be?! That is what I am hoping will be the outcome of this workshop.
The Christmas Words Hybrid EF was my inspiration as the words can felt as either a background or a main sentiments for a card. Many people with serious eye conditions don't like bright, shiny surfaces so there will be the choice of using the gold foil words like I used on this card, or coloured card that is not so painful for sensitive eyes.
The card base is embossed with the Plaid EF which gives a deep effect that can easily be felt.
Of course the Labs are a given for this class as all guide school dogs are labradors but we will also have available the other animals and die cuts from the North Pole Delivery DSP for people to add to their projects which also include gift tags and a gift box.
Thank you for reading my story behind this card.
Now it is your turn to create a card or scrap book page using Stencils or Dies as the main focus. We at Just Add Ink would love to see what you can create whether for a cause like mine or to share with your loved ones.
Card stock: Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Poppy Parade, Gold Foil
DSP: North Pole Delivery
Accessories: Die Cutting machine, Plaid EF, Christmas Words EF, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Fluffy White Ribbon, Red and White Twine, Traditional Sparkling Sequins.
'Til next time,
Jan
