Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop - Pick a Season

   

Welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop, 

We our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators 

from all over the world sharing ideas and 

inspiration with Stampin' Up! Products.

You're currently with me Laura Mackie

a demonstrator from the United Kingdom.

Todays hop theme is 'Pick a Season'

Spring, Summer Autumn or Winter

I choose Winter 

here is my card 

I saw a beautiful candy cane 

love heart treat by fellow demonstrator and 

Stampin' Up! Artistan Design Team member Tami Hewlett

she had used real candy canes to create 

the treat I loved it and that 

was the inspiration behind my card today... 

Check out Tami's Blog here 

I stamped the two candy canes in Real Red ink 

with the Sweet Candy Canes

Stamp set, which I positioned to look like a heart,

I stamped foliage, leaves and holly 

from the Christmas Banners Stamp set with 

Evening Evergreen and Old Olive Ink.

everything I've used today is listed below.

I added the splats with some white ink 

and a paint brush dipped in water,

not forgetting the Brass coloured Flat Jingle Bell,

 a bow tied in Linen Thread with 

a few shimmery white Seasonal Sequins. 

Card Base - Crumb Cake Cardstock

Card layers - Crumb Cake and Real Red Cardstock.

  I hope you like my card and it inspires you 

to go and get inky,

Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys Christmas Card

Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys Christmas card

 I'm back today to share another Yup another 

card made using the Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys

Stamp set, when this stamp set was released to us demonstrators 

its was back in December and I 

knew he would be perfect for Christmas!

The Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys Stamp set

is only available for another few Days!! yep 

that right Sale-a-Bration ends this Sunday!

Michelle Last made a fab card with him wearing a santas hat

and he looked adorable! I couldnt resist making 

my own Christmas Card with him!

For my card today I reached for my 

Gnome for the Holidays stamp set (now retired) 

and used the christmas hat from the lady 

gnome to add to my donkey!

How adorable doe he look??? 

Doesnt he looked pleased as punch with his hat on!??

Notice he should be holding a rose in his mouth??

I carefully masked this off when inking up my stamp 

so not stamp it! once I'd coloured the Donkey 

any detail i felt was missing I added in with a 

Black pen

I've coloured my Donkey with Crumb Cake Alcohol Markers

which I then choose Crumb Cake cardstock for my card base.

I've stamped lots of Christmas Greetings from the 
Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp set directly on to 

my card base in Crumb Cake ink.

I've added a bow tied in Linen Thread to finish my card!
