Inksomniacs July Challenge

This month's team challenge was to use as many new catty products as possible, as well as incorporate the new In Colours and for bonus points, CASE a card from the annual catalogue while making it your own. Whew! That's a lot of stuff!

I think I satisfied the brief quite well, all supplies are listed below.  And it's a CASE from page 116!

Supplies used:
Stamp Sets; Gorgeous Grunge, Happy Day, Delicate Doilies
Cardstock: Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White
Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso
Very Vintage Designer Button.  The thick thread is from my stash.
Mosaic punch - to cut the shape in the end of the banner.
1" & 2 1/2" circle punches
Fancy Fan Embossing Folder

Another week, another month, get creating, it'll be Christmas soon!

Cheers

C.A.S.E.-ING Mosaic Madness

Here's a couple of cards that I've CASED (Copy and Share Everything) from Split Coast.   I can't remember who they were originally made by but if you search Mosaic Madness at Split Coast Stampers I'm sure you'll find them.

 The Designer Series Paper in  this one is from the Quatrefancy Specialty pack (#130141).  It's so pretty that I gave it all away at my catalogue launch so I think I'll have to buy some more!  The card base is our new In Colour Strawberry Slush.

This card may possibly be one of my favourites EVER!  I love the way the punched sections show the colour of the layer beneath.  Very clever, don't you think?   Also like the colour combo of Soft Suede, Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay.

So after the last few posts on this stamp set, I hope it's given you some ideas of how you can use your Mosaic Madness products.  And if you haven't got them yet, email me now to order yours or simply hop onto my website via the SHOP NOW button at the top of my blog.

Have a super day!

In Colours Showing Off Again!

Here's a card that not only features the lovely new In Colours, but also our paper clay.  Ooooooh I like this product!

The idea for this card came from Pinterest. The simplicity and layout appeals to me and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to feature the clay using our button mold.  The squares were all cut using the Postage Punch.  They are in Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Calypso Coral & Coastal Cabana.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set of the same name - Hello Lovely - and was a freebie from Convention.  Yay, another SU benefit!  It was cut out using the Decorative Label punch.  I used re-inker to dye the clay (it's white when you get it), and adhered each button & the little flower with a glue dot.  You can also use Tombow liquid glue if you prefer.   You'll notice the buttons have a bit of detail in them so I put them in the freezer for a minute or two before popping them out of the mold, otherwise they're a bit tricky and you don't want to bend them out of shape before they're dry.  Watch out for my video on paper clay.

Happy molding!

In Colours Showing Off!

Here's a card I made for my customers' goody bags when they attended the new catalogue launch.

It shows off our gorgeous new In Colours perfectly!
From left to right;  Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana.
The stamp set used is Happy Day......one of the Freebies I earned during Sale-a-Bration.  That's a cool benefit of a being a demonstrator, I can tell you!

The technique I used is called masking.  I love the way the stamps look like they are standing behind eachother.  The Modern Label punch was used to punch the sentiment and I've added a second punch in Strawberry Slush that I cut in half and stuck to the back to make it stand out more on the white base.  Rhinestones complete the design.

Pop back tomorrow for another In Colour feature.
