Hello stamping friends. Happy Friday! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I'm here today with the Just Add Ink Design Team for the new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #703 | Just Choose Two Challenge. This week our Just Choose Two Challenge has been chosen by team member Kerry. Today for our Just Choose Two challenge (to choose two items to feature on your project) we are choosing from Balloons, Bright Colours and Birthday. This is one of those Just Choose Two where it is easy to use all three options. I chose balloons and bright colours but ended up choosing birthday as well. How could I not choose Birthday as well when balloons are involved? Today I've used the new and fabulous Mix and Match Ephemera products from Stampin' Up!. I've said it before these products make for some quick and easy crafting! They also make crafting quite affordable as you only need a few products to be able to put together some fabulous creations. Here I've used one of the cards from the Sunny Springs Mix and Match Cards & Envelopes as my base layer. You can use the card as is but I've added some splatters using the Shy Shamrock Stampin' Write Marker to step it up a bit. Next was the hardest part, picking which pieces of ephemera to layer together. I knew I wanted the dog with his/her cute party hat and the balloons and the rest was a matter of playing around with what I thought was a good combination of layered ephemera pieces. I'm happy with what I put together. There is no right or wrong here when placing these items together. Just have a go and play around with the ephemera pieces. Due to the bright colours and all the different layered pieces I thought the card didn't need much embellishment. Just some Linen Thread and some Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. Your creations always need a little embellishment! There are lots of AMAZING creations from the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team on the JAI Blog. Go and check out to see what 'two' elements they all used this week and then while you are there you can see how you can enter your project. Can't wait to see what 'two' you used.

As I was prepping my class and display board for our Summer Stampin' Soiree last weekend, I think this was one of my faves!! While you can also do this same idea by stamping a floral image and coloring, I actually used the die cut image shown below (from the Fully Flowering Ephemera pack). Most of the images are colored, but there are a few outline (black and white) images you can color. I was just checking... this VERY popular floral ephemera pack is on low inventory as I'm typing this.. so don't delay if you want a pack!!

Stampin' Up!'s Mix & Match Ephemera Packs are proving to be very popular with my customers. They love the ease with which they can create projects. With pages and pages of brilliant, laser-cut designs, these packs offer a great starting point or accent for any project. BUT - you can

Hello there stamping friends! Happy Friday! Welcome and thanks for joining me on my blog today. Today we over at Just Add Ink have a fabulous inspiration picture challenge - Just Add Ink #701 | Inspiration Picture Challenge. How bright and vibrant are the colours in our inspiration picture? Beautiful pinks and yellows. Super pretty! My card for you today is focusing on those gorgeous, beautiful colours for a quick birthday card. And today I'm playing with the new Stampin' Up! Ephemera products. The pinks, yellows and oranges really stood out to me so I searched through the ephemera packs for something that would go together. The pink and orange rainbow was perfect for this challenge and then combined with the sun and the "Happy Birthday" all these images coordinated with the colours in the inspiration picture. It all came together so quickly and it is a cost effective way to start with your crafting journey. A few ephemera packs, some cardstock and some adhesive and you are on you way to card making. I've started with a Pretty in Pink cardstock base amd then a Pretty in Pink layer. On that I've blended some Pretty in Pink and then added some Pretty in Pink splatters. The circle is also die cut from Pretty in Pink, embossed with the Basics 3D embossing folder and then splattered with white embossing powder. I've finished the card off with some ephemera hearts covered in Wink of Stella and some Pretty in Pink gems that come from the 2024–2026 In Color™ Shimmer Gems. If you are in need of a quick card, pull out Stampin' Up!'s Ephemera packs and with the pre-printed and die cut images you'll have a card put together in no time. You can keep the ephemera CAS or you can completely step it up. The choice is yours. Go and check out the design teams take on this week's Inspiration Picture at the Just Add Ink Blog and then come and join in this week's inspiration picture fun! I can't wait to see what you create.

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀 I recently showed you the crafting I did on my holiday and I promised I would bring videos on how I made them. Well here is how I made the clusters with my little strips of scraps from making the library pockets. I was inspired by the lovely Cori Dahmen, who has a whole series on using scraps. I have used her principles and crated something a little different. You can check out Cori's video here :-) In the video I make these clusters and then use one of them on a tag. Measurements and Materials I used up little strips of scraps I had from other projects I stuck them onto scraps from music paper, book pages and maps as well as packaging I topped them off with fussy cut ephemera fro various kits (Artymaze & Tracie Fox mostly) I cut out loads with my scan n cut machine and have them ready to use Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-) Video Tutorial Click below to see the video tutorial :-) Time for the closeups!

I know many of you were as surprised as I was to see the 2 new 'huge' embossing folders in the new Stampin' Up! catalog this year!! The Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder and the So Swirly folder are both large.. they are 6' x 8-1/2', the size of the Stampin' Cut & Emboss plates!!! As you can see by the size comparison below, my 4x4 card looks pretty small, and I've only used the center circle embossed portion on this card. Petunia Pop seems to be one of my new favorite colors, even though I'm not what you'd

Thank you for joining me yesterday to see how I made these trifold cards with the Stampin' UP! Lily Pond Lane designer paper (without the ducks!) :) I know when most people look at the Lily Pond Lane suite, they see the ducks. I was inspired by Marcee when she used the floral side so I decided to use the floral and plaid patterns on this project instead of the ducks. When I noticed that this paper also coordinates perfectly with the Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie patterns in the 2024 2026 DSP paper stack, I incorporated those
