Colour INKspiration | Celebrating 3 years

January 11, 2020January 11, 2020 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 11 Comments

I’m back hopping with the Colour INKspiration Crew today as a guest designer for their 3rd birthday celebrations. Thanks to Bronwyn Eastley for inviting me to join the celebrations.

We each got to choose our 3 favourite colours and make anything we wanted! Narrowing it down to either just 3 colours, or just one favourite combination is virtually impossible for crafters. My favourite colours depend on my mood, or the card I’m making or my current favourite DSP! I’m sure you can relate!

I’ve gone with a trio of colours that I love for lots of different occasions – it works for a neutral baby card, for a classic wedding card, for a card of friendship, for males, for females – for everyone!!! It’s black, yellow and gray (with the option to throw in white as a classic neutral).

Colour INKspiration 3rd birthday blog hop | kelly kent

I could make cards all day with these colours, so I’m sharing 2 cards with you today. The first is a technique I’ve been wanting to try for a while using Stampin’ Blends and a new stamp set – Dressed to Impress.

I created the floral background by stamping the flowers randomly on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I then coloured the negative (ie, between the flowers) using the Basic Black Dark Stampin’ Blend to create a solid black background and coloured the flowers with the light & dark Mango Medley Blends (as close as we have to Crushed Curry). Stampin’ Blends glide so beautifully over the cardstock and blend (as the name suggests) to create a seamless image.

Dressed to Impress | kelly kent

This card is on a Smoky Slate base with a Crushed Curry label, Whisper White die cut and a white on black embossed sentiment.

Dies: Stitched Nested Labels, Well Written

Stampin’ Blends: Dark Basic Black, Light & Dark Mango Medley

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Veramark

The second card is a favourite layout I’ve used before using a heart frame and flowers to create a floral centrepiece. Today’s card uses frangipani flowers from the new Timeless Tropical stamp set.

This card is much brighter and sunnier, using white space and lots of yellow to lighten the mood.

Colour INKspiration #59

July 10, 2019July 9, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 4 Comments

It’s time for another Colour INKspiration hop. Chosen by Bronwyn Eastley – this colour combination is just divine! Soft, dreamy and oh-so-pretty.

No photo description available.

I’ve seen a sneak peak of some of the cards on this hop and you’re going to love them all. So much variety from florals to masculine to pretty kitties!

We’re joined today by guest designer Denise Buetler. Denise won challenge #57 and accepted our invitation to join us for this hop. You can see her project by clicking here or keep hopping through all the projects til you get to her gorgeous card.

As with many the Colour INKspiration Crew, there was something about these colours that was reminiscent of the water. I’ve used the new Seaside Notions stamp set to create another sympathy card. Sadly it’s the week for it.

Seaside Notions | kelly kent

The background is the Stitched Lace die – I just can’t get enough of this die. It’s adds such elegance to the card. This time I’ve cut it using the lace die (see my previous post for tips on getting a great cut) and then cut it to card front size using the largest Stitched Rectangle Die. If you have these dies, you’ll know the proportions are a little different our card sizes, so I’ve cut the card down to 4-1/8″ wide by 5-1/2″ long (11″ before scoring and folding in half). Seaside Notions | kelly kent

I’ve layered a Subtle embossed mat in Smoky Slate and a frame made using the Stitched Rectangle Dies in Seaside Spray. I am loving this new In Color – so serene!!! The seahorse is stamped in Seaside Spray and fussy cut, layering it over the ‘thinking of you’ sentiment. Finished off with a couple of silver Metallic Pearls.

I’ve carried the theme through to the inside of the card and added some stamped shells and a sand dollar on another stitched rectangle background with a strip of Seaside Spray DSP.

Seaside Notions | kelly kent

I loved these colours together, but if I’m honest, using Very Vanilla was a huge challenge for me!!! I guess I’m just a Whisper White girl at heart!

We’d love for you to join the challenge by sharing your creation made with these colours in our Facebook group. Click here to visit.

Next up on the hop is my gorgeous friend Leonie Stuart and a beautifully delicate card.

Thanks for visiting!

Colour INKspiration #58

June 26, 2019June 23, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 4 Comments

I have another fabulous colour combination for you today as part of Colour INKspiration #58. It’s pretty and subtle and I cant’ wait to see what you share with us on the Colour INKspiration Challenges Facebook group. Click here to visit the FB group.

Don’t these colours exude elegance and luxury?

Image may contain: text

We’re joined for this challenge by our guest designer – Vicki Boucher. Vicki’s gorgeous card won challenge #56 and we’re delighted to have her create with us for this hop. If you’re already on your way hopping around, then you will have travelled here from Vicki’s blog. If you’re starting here, keep hopping until you visit Vicki.

With these sweet colours, I’ve inked up one of the new Stampin’ Up! bundles – Above the Clouds. It comes with a stamp set and coordinating Hot Air Balloon Punch.

Above the Clouds | kelly kent

I forget what this style of card is called – but it’s one of my favourites! Stamp on the base layer of the card then add cardstock to the left & right edges to create a sunken patterned panel. I’ve stamped the clouds in Blushing Bride and edged the Whisper White cardstock with gold foil.

Above the Clouds | kelly kent

There are some cute sentiments in the Above the Clouds stamp set, but I’m enjoying lots of mixing & matching of stamp sets at the moment to create a variety of birthday cards – as these are the cards I most need. This fun birthday sentiment is from another new set in my collection – Beautiful Friendship.

I’ve used another set (not so new, but regularly used) on the inside – Itty Bitty Birthdays – together with Above the Clouds. I don’t always decorate the inside of my cards (despite my new years resolution) but when I do, it always makes me smile to add an extra layer of happy!

Above the Clouds | kelly kent

The clouds are stamped in full colour (Blushing Bride) and then again without reinking to create a variety of cloud depths. As well as full size hot air balloons, Above the Clouds has this cute trio of little hot air balloons too! My tip for two step stamping with a solid image and an outline is to stamp the outline first. It’ll be much easier to see through the solid stamps and line them up with your outline stamping.

This is the same for the big hot air balloons! And that cute bunting I’ve used on the top of the card.

Above the Clouds | kelly kent

The gold touches on this card really lift it up (pun intended!). Aren’t those balloons so pretty in pink!?!

Keep hopping and see all the lovely ways the design team have used these colours. Next up is my sweet friend Rachel Palmieri.

Colour INKspiration #57

June 12, 2019June 12, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 4 Comments

Hello! Thanks for joining us for Colour INKspiration #57. I’ve chosen the colour palette today – I hope you like it! We’re crafting with Lovely Lipstick, Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple Green – inspired by these gorgeous Calla Lilies.

Image may contain: text

Joining us on the hop today, as our guest designer, is Kate Webb – thanks Kate!! Kate’s pretty card won challenge #55 and we are delighted to have her along for this hop. Each challenge the crew picks 5 cards and ask the members of the Colour INKspiration Facebook group to choose a winner. Join the group and make sure to enter your project for the current challenge! Click here to visit.

The bold & bright colours of this challenge reminded me of spring, so although the weather here is cold and wet (hello winter!), my craft room can be as warm and summery as I like. So with the challenge colours in mind, I’ve stamped some pretty butterflies using the new Butterfly Wishes stamp set and lined them up in rows.

Butterfly Wishes | kelly kent

This style of card using the Stitched Rectangle Dies as a frame reminds me of butterflies on display in a museum. I’ve make them fly as much as I can by adhering in the middle of the body and flicking up the wings….

Butterfly Wishes | kelly kent

But I’d like to try a card like this again with flying butterflies! I’ll keep it on my to-do list for another challenge!

Butterfly Wishes | kelly kent

For the sentiment in the middle of the card, I’ve masked the other words on the ‘celebrate’ stamp with masking tape and inked it up with Versamark and heat embossed in white. I then cut it using the Classic Label punch. To create the banner, I used the end of the same punch. I love when products are so versatile!

Butterfly Wishes | kelly kent

I have the pleasure of linking you to our guest designer – Kate Webb with her gorgeous floral creation. These colours just work so well for flowers!

Thanks for hopping with us, can’t wait to see your creations in our Facebook group.

Colour INKspiration #56

May 22, 2019May 22, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 6 Comments

Hello & welcome to a Colour INKspiration challenge design team blog hop. We’re all linking together to share projects we’ve create with the challenge colours – can you believe we’re up to #56!!!

Image may contain: flower, plant, text and food

You may have hopped here from our amazing guest designer – Cazz Boylan. I just loved her beautiful card! Cazz won challenge #54 and we were delighted to have her hop with us. To add your card for this challenge and be in the running for a guest designer spot, join us in our Facebook group – click here to visit.

All those gorgeous pink & purple tones made me want to watercolour – so I did!!! On watercolour paper, I used an Aqua Painter to marble Melon Mambo, Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss inks together. I did it all at the same time (rather than waiting for each colour to dry) so they ran together to create a mix of those tones.

Little Elephant | kelly kent

The colours were just perfect for a congratulations card for a friend who welcomed a new grandbaby girl into the world this month. With this as my plan, I added elephants in Whisper White using the Elephant Builder Punch. I love the bright white against the vibrant watercolouring.

Little Elephant | kelly kent

To add a bit of texture to the stark white, I embossed the elephants – Quilt Top for the Grandma Elephant and Tufted for the baby elephant.

I’ve used the Little Elephant stamp set (coordinates with the punch) for the sentiment & hearts. The hearts are clear embossed for a cute little touch.

Both the stamp set and punch are carrying over to the new catalogue – yay!

Little Elephant | kelly kent

Next on the hop is my friend Jacque Williams with a card I can’t wait to CASE! I’m not going to spoil the surprise – but I love that she’s added that DSP to this colour combination!

Colour INKspiration #55

May 8, 2019May 12, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 5 Comments

Hello! We have a fabulous colour challenge for you this week at Colour INKspiration. There’ s a blog hop to enjoy and then all the action for the challenge happens in our Facebook group. Click here to visit and share your creation with us.

You may have hopped here from the gorgeous Lisa Whitehead who won challenge #53 and joins us as a guest designer.

Here’s the colours for challenge #55…

Image may contain: bedroom and indoor

You can use 3 or more of these colours in your project.

I went all out and used all 6 plus white & black as we can include basics (white, black & vanilla) and metallics.

A large part of the inspiration for my card came from the challenge photo. I used the clouds to create the background and the Grapefruit Grove cushion to inspire the styling of the hot air balloon.

Lift Me Up | kelly kent

It was so hard to photograph the background but it’s crazy shimmery! I used Shimmery White cardstock for my base and then added a mix of Isocol (alcohol), reinker and shimmer paint. My first attempt at a major fail – sprtizing using a mask doesn’t work! All the colour seeped under the mask and I got blobs rather than clouds.

The second attempt was much better applying the colour with a sponge and I got these pretty clouds. One mix was Coastal Cabana & Frost White Shimmer Paint and the second was Smoky Slate & Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

Lift Me Up | kelly kent

It’s hard to capture just how pretty it is!

I used the remaining challenge colours under the balloon – cut by the Up & Away Framelits.

Lift Me Up | kelly kent

The sentiment is from the Lift Me Up stamp set. I white heat embossed on Rich Razzleberry and Grapefruit Grove cardstock and then roughly snupped with scissors. I love chopping up sentiments like this!

Lift Me Up | kelly kent

I had so much fun with these colours! It was the perfect challenge to prompt me to put different colours together than my normal combinations!

Next up on the blog hop is my gorgeous friend Lou Kitzelman in QLD.

Colour INKspiration #54

April 24, 2019April 23, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 5 Comments

Hello! It’s time for another Colour INKspiration challenge – possibly one of my favourites of all time. Which is crazy – because it’s so simple. Black & white plus a pop of colour. But the simplicity is what makes it awesome.

No photo description available.

I can’t wait for you to see what the crew have come up with this week.

You may have hopped here from the gorgeous Anne Matasci. Anne won Colour INKspiration #52 and joins us for this hope as our guest designer. I just love her card – and I know she loves the theme as much as I do!

To join us and share your card for Colour INKspiration #54, find us on Facebook. Click here to visit the group.

I could have made a million cards with this colour combination (if only time would allow), but sharing this sweet card made with a few items that will join the retirement hall of fame very soon.

Hand Delivered | kelly kent

The stamp set is from the Stampin’ Rewards section of the catalogue – Hand Delivered, the embossing folder is Petal Pair and the DSP is from the Brights stack.

Click here to see all the retirement list items in the online store.

Hand Delivered | kelly kent

My pop of colour is Bermuda Bay. But like so many of the cards on this blog hop, you could sub in any pop of colour that was your favourite to change up the design.

Now that we’re using our fireplace to combat the cold weather, I’m experimenting with different locations to take photos of my cards. I love being back in the outdoors with all that natural light!

Next stop on the Colour INKspiration blog hop is my beautiful friend Nikki Spencer.

Thanks for hopping with us!

Colour INKspiration #53

April 10, 2019April 10, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 2 Comments

One of the things I love most about Colour INKspiration challenges is the variety of colour combinations. We use inspiration photos with beautiful photography and then match them to Stampin’ Up! colours. It sometimes throws together an unexpected combination – like this week! A shade of green, teal, blue and pink together with white make for a fabulous starting point for some amazing projects. Add in gold or silver for some optional bling!

No photo description available.

We are joined for this week by Fiona Whitehead who was the winner of challenge #51 If you’re hopping around, you have jumped here from Fiona’s blog. If not, keep clicking on next until you get back there.

I went with Clean & Simple for my card today – wanting to have a play with the cute dies in the Well Written die set.

I’ve seen the leafy vines used by others but didn’t realise until recently that as well as the 14 word dies, this set also contains 10 fabulous extra dies.

How cute is that little birdie!?!?!

I have layered the welcome die – silver foil on top with two layers of Night of Navy underneath. I find this gives a great depth to the sentiment and really makes it pop. These dies are best used with Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheets so you’re not fighting with glue!

I’ve just realised as I share this card with you, that there’s no stamping!!! It’s all paper, die cutting and embossing. There’s so many ways to make pretty cards!

Please join us for this fun challenge. All the action happens in our Facebook group. Click here to visit.

Keep hopping for more great projects. Next blog is by Jan Clothier with a very clever card!

March 13, 2019March 13, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 4 Comments

Hello! Welcome to Colour INKspiraton for March 2019. You may have just come here via our talented guest designer – Vicki Boucher. Wasn’t her project great! If you’re starting here, be sure to keep hopping until you reach Vicki to see all the great projects.

Image may contain: one or more people, flower and text

As always, it’s a gorgeous colour palette. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of flowers! But I can’t wait to see what else might come of these colours!

This challenge is bright and fun and I also can’t wait to see what you make with it. Join us on the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to share your project.

My card today was inspired by products I have sitting on my shelf that are very much part of the Stampin’ Up! range but don’t appear in the Annual or Occasions Catalogues. Can you spot them?

Country Home | kelly kent

The embossing folder is a current Sale-A-Bration choices – available to earn until 31st March 2019. It’s so lovely in crisp white! See all the Sale-A-Bration choices by clicking here.

Country Home | kelly kent

The stamp set is Country Home – a carryover item from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue. You can find all the carryover items by clicking here and viewing in the online store.

I’ve used Stampin’ Blends to colour the flowers & jug. If you’re a Stampin’ Up! addict, you’ll know that there aren’t specific Blends in Pear Pizzazz and Berry Burst – so I’ve just used the closest in the range – Old Olive and Lovely Lipstick.

Country Home | kelly kent

The third ‘not in a catalogue’ item is the Stitched Seasons framelits. These were a special release item last year. The stitching is so lovely. Although retired, they are available via the online store on the clearance rack. This also means they are discounted – a fabulous bargain!! Click here to see all the clearance rack items (all at up to 60% off retail).

Once I’d finished & photographed this card I realised how familiar it seemed to me. Well, as it turns out, my vision for this stamp set is very one-track. Click here to see a card I made last year with this set!!!

Thank you for joining us today for the Colour INKspiration hop.

To see more great projects, please keeping hopping and visit Rebecca Scurr and her fabulous card.

Colour INKspiration #50

February 27, 2019February 27, 2019 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 4 Comments

There’s nothing like a splash of colour to brighten up the week!

Today is the start of a new challenge for Colour INKspiration and it’s so summery! Take me there now!!!

Image may contain: outdoor

Unfortunately this amazing destination (or any other) isn’t on my foreseeable to-do list, so I’ll have to settle for the crafty version instead.

How about a cool & refreshing beverage??? A celebration of Colour INKspiration reaching 50 challenges!!!

Bubble Over | kelly kent

I haven’t used this stamp set in ages so it was fun to get it inky again! I’ve kept the design CAS – clean & simple, allowing the colours to shine bright.

Remember my 2019 plan to use more embellishments? I’ve added clear epoxy dots from a previous catalogue for a fun bubbly touch!

Bubble Over | kelly kent

The “cheers” sentiment for this card is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set. This is another ‘staple’ set I highly recommend. You’ll find it suits lots of occasions and in this case is perfect for my summery drinks.

Bubble Over | kelly kent

Cheers! Here’s to lazy days and warm nights!!! I plan on having a few cold beverages by the pool this weekend as we celebrate WA Day.

Next up on the Colour INKspiration blog hop is Jackie Aitken, a fellow “West Aussie” who will also be celebrating WA Day this weekend! Visit Jackie to see her pretty card using the challenge colours.
