INKspired Blog Hop #27

Every second Sunday another exciting INKspired blog hope were we like to wow you with creations from our amazing Team. If you have just landed here then you have come from my super amazing friend Marlene, can't wait to see what she has creative for us this week.

The sketch from Teneale this week is fabulous. Teneale is such an inspiration and does an awesome job creating the sketches to keep us all challenged!

This Weeks Sketch

This week I wanted to move away from the Christmas theme and show you how Stampin' Up! Co-ordinate products so well. All of the cardstock, printed paper and inks work perfectly together. I picked Sahara Sand as my base colour this week as it is so elegant when used with white.

My Creation

I am in love with the new Precision Plate that can be found on page 14 of the Holiday Catalogue. Yes I know I am singing praises this week but I just love IT! This plate makes intricate cuts a breeze.

I found that detailed dies such as the butterflies Thinlits are great, but sometimes it's hard to make all the fine cuts crisp and sharp. Problem solved! The Precision Base Plate adds a little more oomph to your die sandwich, making working with detailed dies a dream.

Next on the hop is the very talented Maree Macintosh, I am sure you will love what she has for us this week.

Thanks for Stopping By!

INKspired Blog Hop #26

Hello and welcome to our 26th Blog Hop. If you have just landed here then you have come from the super talented

Renee lynch

, Can't wait to see what she has created for us this week.

I have to say my mojo has been lacking a little of late but it was great to have it back for this week's Inkspired Blog Sketch Challenge. With so many lovely new products to choose from out of the New Seasonal Holiday Catalogue I decided to stay with the Christmas theme and use the beautiful Flurry of Wishes Stamp set and the Snow Flurry Punch, which are available separately or as a bundle.

This weeks Sketch

This is what I came up with!

Firstly I stamped the Flurry of wishes using versa mark and white embossing powder. I then sponged over the embossing with pool party. The trick to this sketch was lining up the card stock once it had been cut. I felt it needed a little bling so I added some Dazzling diamonds with the 2 way glue stick. I then stamped the Flurry of Wishes again on some Whisper White and punched it out using the Snow Flurry Punch. I coloured the wooden snowflake and finished it off by using some Silver Cording Trim to create the bow!

Happy Stampin'
