Rooted In Nature - Just Add Ink #406

Set for Rooted In Nature by Stampin' Up! Card Class - Stamping Susan Wong


Welcome to Just Add Ink 406 - another week and another fun challenge!! Here I am as Guest Designer again and I can say I really enjoyed this one. It's the simple things that get you going sometimes right? Well, maybe the brand new stamp set and colours helped. Use the sketch below to create a project, blog it then link it over on the Just Add Ink Challenge Blog.

I adore this new stamp set 'Rooted in Nature' from the upcoming 2018-19 Annual Catalogue!! It comes with a whole suite of gorgeousness but for now I've paired it with a fresh colour combo - new colours Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch and retuning favourite, Coastal Cabana.

Hot Tips:
- Wash a single colour on 3x Shimmery White card mats with your Aqua Painter, drying then stamping leaves in the same colour. Splice at exactly the same angles by marking at the edges first then, hey presto, you have three card backgrounds!
- Don't be afraid to mix Whisper White and Very Vanilla.
- For a nest of fine threads, carefully cut one edge off the ribbon and pull out the fine threads. Group together and stick down on a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive behind your sentiment.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Rooted in Nature
Inks: Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Coastal Cabana (available 1st June), Momento Tuxedo Black
Papers: Very Vanilla, Shimmery White, Whisper White
Tools/Accessories: Delicate White Doilies (retiring soon!), Metallics Sequin Assortment, Tea Room Ribbon Combo Pack (available 1st June), Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, 2" Circle Punch

Basket of Wishes - Just Add Ink 405



Welcome to Just Add Ink 405!! It's been a long long time since I wrote a phrase like that. A BIG thank you to my old friends at Just Add Ink for having me as a Guest Designer. I'm so excited I get to join you all over the next few weeks - there's so.much.talent in this design team!

So what is this crafty gig? Simply make a project using the inspiration photo above, blog it, and link your post on the original Just Add Ink challenge *HERE*. (See Just Add Ink post for challenge rules/guidelines.)

For me this pic is all about rustic textures so here's my card using the Basket of Wishes stamp set...



Hot Tips:
- For added texture, emboss your Wood Textures designer paper with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
- If colouring with inks and your aqua painter on Very Vanilla with a classic ink outline, use a quick, light touch so you don't saturate the paper or make the ink run too much.
- For a velvet touch, scrunch and re-scrunch card stock until you're able to peel the two layers apart.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Basket of Wishes
Inks: Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, Dapper Denim, Smoky Slate
Papers: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate
Tools/Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Linen Thread, Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes

Hot Tips:
- For the wreath card - Photopolymer stamps can be manipulated a bit to make them into the shape you want. Curve it slightly as you stick it on your block to help you create a circular wreath.
- Don't forget - with every ink pad you can have more than one tone. Stamp off before stamping on your project for a lighter shade.
- For the colour block sentiments, carefully ink up half the stamp on the edge of the Grapefruit Grove Stampin' Pad before doing the other half on the Old Olive.
