Just Add Ink #778

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday, so we have a new challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

From this pic I chose to use both the theme from the inspiration pic and the colours from the colour combination provided. Because sometimes I just like to challenge myself.

The images I’ve stamped and coloured are from the Shell Collecting Stamp Set. I started with three shells and that felt a bit bare, so I kept adding them until I ended up with six of them on my card. To the cluster of shells, I added some coral. These have been cut with a retired die and trimmed the complete diecut to layer amongst the shells. To the background, I randomly stamped a starfish stamp in Crumb Cake Ink on the Crumb Cake Cardstock to act like of a kind of DSP.

The team have created awesome and varied projects using the inspo pic and colours. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cheers

Just Add Ink #777

Hey Everyone

Welcome to the first challenge at Just Add Ink for 2026. Our challenge for you is to:

Our first challenge as always is a blog hop, so make sure you grab a cuppa and visit the design teams blogs and check out what we have designed for this challenge.

I chose a summery beachy theme for my birthday card. As soon as I saw the Shell Collecting Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2026 Mini Catalogue I knew I had to get it as I love a shell stamp set. I kept a very neutral colour scheme and added some Irregular Weave Trim to the layers. I also added a piece of Country Woods DSP as it worked with the neutral theme I was going for. The coral die cuts I’ve added were created with the retired Ocean Friends Dies as the shells felt a bit bare without the coral.

The next blog to visit on our hop is the super talented Nikki Spencer. Click here or on the button below to take you to her blog:
