This month I have created a love inspiration card using the Incredible Like You stamp set from the new 2019 Occasions Catalogue.
To recreate this card you will need a 21cm x 14.9cm thick whisper white cardstock, 8.5cm x 11.5cm Flirty Flamingo and 8.5cm x 6.5cm piece of whisper white. The card uses Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green and Flirty Flamingo inks, in conjunction with the Incredible Like You stamp set.
To create the ribbon embellishment I used Lovely Lipstick 1/8 inch grosgrain ribbon wrapped it around my fingers and bound it with whisper white twine and then cut the looped ends to form strips. This embellishment was then attached to the card by sticky dots.

This month I purchased some new products - the Treat Time Stamp Set and Pettie Treat Framelits, so I decided to use the framelits for the first time and create a cute little treat package for Christmas.
To create a Christmas themed project I used the All Is Bright DSP from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue and the Better Together Stamp Set from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue. The Better Together Stamp Set combines sentiments and small images for a number of occasions into the one set. Sympathy, New Baby, Weddings, Hello and Christmas, are just a few of the topics covered. It is a versatile set and the sentiments can be mixed in with other stamp sets to broaden there use as well.
The tag is made using a framelit from the Pettie Treat set and a 1 3/4" circle punch. I used gold mini sequin trim to add a little sparkle and the 1/8" Real Red Solid ribbon to attach the tag to the treat package.
These sour cream style packages are easy and quick to make as you can see from the video below and makes a fun addition to any Christmas table or just to package small gifts for family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the remainder of the hop and gain heaps of Christmassy inspiration from the team.
Welcome to the monthly Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. This month's theme is Halloween/Fall.
You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from Australia. I hope you enjoy my project.
This month's theme has given me the opportunity to use the Rooted in Nature stamp set. By using Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight I bought the Fall theme to my card.
I decided that I wanted to make a fun fold card for today's project, but also wanted to keep it simple. I cut a standard type of card base using half an A4 sheet of paper. I then grabbed the trimmer and made a diagonal cut in the front to create and interesting shape. For visual details of how to do this see the YouTube video below.
Using the square thinlit dies, a frame was created to boarder the main image of the card.
I added some stamped leave images on both the card front and also the inside piece of cardstock to add some extra interest and texture.
I hope you enjoy the remainder of the hop. Make sure that you don't miss any of the lovely projects.
Welcome to the latest Ink and Inspiration blog hop. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from AUSTRALIA. I hope you enjoy this months project. Our theme for this month is - a sneak peek of products from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue, which goes live on the 5th September.
This month I have decided to make some Christmas gift boxes.
For this project I am giving you a sneak peak of the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper and the Peaceful Noel Stamp Set. As a bonus, I have also used Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon. This ribbon is amazing!
The copper elements on this paper pack is a stand out. It was a perfect combination with the reversible ribbon and the copper embossing powder.
For further instructions on how to make the box, please see the attached video.
I hope you enjoy the blog hop and gain lots of inspiration. Happy crafting, Rosalie
Welcome to the latest Ink and Inspiration blog hop. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from AUSTRALIA. I hope you enjoy this months project. Our theme for this month is - Card Kits and Project Kits.
For this months theme I have used elements from the Beautiful Day Cards- You Can Make it Bundle (to see more of the bundles available go to p.2 of the Annual Catalogue). With the You Can Make It bundles you can make simple and quick projects and order everything you need with the one item number.
Beautiful Day Cards Supplies Set 149042
This bundle includes the following:
Beautiful Day Clear-Mount Stamp Set
Clear Block E
Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes
Tuxedo Black Memento Pad
Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine
As I don't own the Lovely Lipstick Blends which are included in this bundle, I used Calypso Coral Blends instead.
I used a bit of scrap to mask the area that I wanted to leave blank for the sentiment.
After making the initial card with the bundle items I decided to step it up a bit and used some extra Whisper White cardstock and a few dimensionals to make these.
Welcome to the latest Ink and Inspiration blog hop. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from AUSTRALIA. I hope you enjoy this months project. Our theme for this month is - Birthday Surprise. For today's theme I decided to take the opportunity to add a masculine card to my stash. Birthday cards are the most used card type in our house and I often struggle to come up with ideas for the males in our lives.
The card I have created fits into a standard size Australian envelope which makes it cheaper for posting. To change it up a little from a standard fold, I have created a twisted easel card and used the sentiment "celebrate" bumped up with dimensionals, to hold the front of the card in place.
I stamped some of the images from Artisan Textures in the chosen colours to create background and let word framelits and coloured card stock to do the rest of the work.The colour choice comes from this months Stampin' Up! Color Challenge facebook group. The colour combo is Pacific Point, Smoky Slate, So Saffron and Real Red.
