After being away on vacation, it was wonderful to spend the evening with my friends during my Facebook Live presentation tonight.  I created three beautiful projects using the Artistically Inked Bundle.  If you missed the presentation, you can catch the replay here. Artistically Inked is my all-time favorite bundle to date.  I love the entire suite.  The stamp set has great images with matching and complimenting dies.   But, the star of the show is the stunning Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper.       I used Magenta Madness and Gold Foil Sheets to create this trio.  The Expressions

I had to really think on the products to use for this week’s sketch challenge. I wanted a die that would give a nice outline for an image and found it with the Artistic Dies. After die cutting with Basic Black Cardstock, I adhered the piece to Petal Pink Cardstock and fussy cut around it.

Hi There! Today's post presents another card featuring elements of the Expressions in Ink Product Suite. I really love how this card turned out. The difficulty was in photographing the card because of the shine from the gold stripes on the Designer Series Paper. Like the previous card, I stayed...

Clean up procrastination continues, although this time it was because clean up reminded me to play with a favourite set that hasn't seen action in a while. The gorgeous Artistically Inked stamps and dies are carrying over to the new 2023-24 Annual Catalogue and it's a die set that's worth having all by itself! For inspiration, I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. It's a beautiful sketch. It immediately brought to mind the wonderful floral die cut from the Artistic die set. I used blending brushes to layer on colour, using the negative of the die cut as a stencil, then popped the die cut back over the top. An easy, yet effective, technique.  The die cut and its underlying colour demanded a simple, clean treatment for the rest of the design. So I added in a 'Happy Birthday' from the Artistically Inked stamp set. I cut it with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies (sadly retiring) but did have to do a double cut to get the size I wanted for the sentiment.  Then I added in three Iridescent Rhinestone jewels and voila - done! If you like this card, you can see how I did it in this video tutorial. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone's weekend going? I got my garden done yesterday morning. I went out at 6:30am and boy was I happy, it got really sticky and warm out. I'll be at work all day today. I have a quick and easy monochromatic card for you today. Here's my…

Hello crafty friends. I'm back with another 'two-for-one' post today, thanks to the 'artistic' dies from Stampin' Up! and the colour palette from Color Throwdown. I sat for a while trying to decided which way round to use the colours for the floral die cut and in the end went for both! I started by…

Every Wednesday at 7:00 pm, eastern time, I create three projects live on my YouTube channel, youtube.com/stampingala.  Tonight's projects are created with the Artistically Inked Bundle.  If you missed the live presentation, you can catch the replay below.       The first project is a birthday card.  The beautiful Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper is stunning and does most of the work for this card.       The second project is a thank you card.  I used the Hippo & Friends Dies as well for this project.       Here is a look at the
