Video Tutorial for "Just Because" Paper Pieced Card

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I shared my entry for the InspireINK monthly blog hop which was this card, for which I used the paper piecing technique. 

My colours were chosen as part of a colour challenge and were not my first choice - although once I'd made the card I was quite pleased with how it turned out. But when I cam to remake the card for a video tutorial I decided to change up the colours to some which were more of my choosing. First this one using Mint Macaron, Petal Pink and Grapefruit Grove.

And then this one in the same colours, but used differently.

I'm so sad that these little Bitty Blooms Punches have now sold out and no longer available. If you want to make the card and don't already have them , I'm afraid you'll have to find an alternative!

Anyway here are all three cards together:

I have to say I love revisiting the paper piecing technique. My card was inspired by this one from Karen at KKCardCraft.

If you'd like to see how I made my card, you can watch my video tutorial by CLICKING HERE or on the image below:

InspireInk April Blog Hop - Colour Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to our monthly InspireInk blog hop. This month we have been given a colour challenge in the form of a Tic Tac Toe. The idea is to choose a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line and use those colours in our projects. Some interesting combinations in there!

I chose to go with the vertical line on the right hand side - Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Mossy Meadow. I used the Just Because hostess stamp set and paper pieced the leaves and pots with patterned papers.

The little flowers are punched with the Bitty Bloom Punch pack - sadly now completely sold out and no longer available - I'm so sad about this.

I don't think I would have thought about adding the Mossy Green border unless I was following this colour challenge but I love how it has turned out.

Hope you like it too. Please carry on clicking on the link below to see all the other amazing entries into our Blog Hop.

Hi everyone,

Last Monday it was my turn to set the challenge over on the Stampin' For All Facebook page and the theme was "Mother's Day". If you'd like to join in with any of our challenges just pop over to our group HERE. 

This was my inspiration for the challenge. 

And I'm happy to say we had loads of other entries. And here they are:

Laurie Jennings

 Laurie has used lovely printed vellum paper for the background of her card.

Pam Campbell

Pam entered the challenge three times. This first one, above, was inspired by Gez Carpenter, using the Petal Promenade papers. Here is Gez's inspiration card.

Pam Campbell

For this one Pam has used the Pop of Petals stamp set and punch. Lovely fresh colours!
