Hey Everyone
It’s Friday xo that means a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is:
I filled my card with products that I received from Onstage that I attended recently. Most were supposed to be attached to makes and takes but as usual i was too busy yapping during those sessions and I didn’t bother finishing anything off. So they got attached to this card. Perfect for a last minute card for this challenge.I chose to add twine and sequins from the challenge brief.
Thte team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects for this challenge. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone
The newest challenge at Just Add Ink is a fun one. This week our challenge for you is to:
I chose to add butterflies for the wings component for this challenge – coz it’s an easy option…. I’ve kinda gone with an ombre thing with butterflies and circles they are sitting on. I’ve matched the colours on their wings to the cardstock and layered them over some diecut leaves made with the Nature’s Symphony Dies.
The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards for this challenge, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created. We’d love it if you could play along.

Hey Everyone
We have a new challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is a sketch challenge. Here’s our sketch for you to start your cards off with:
I haven’t had a chance to play with the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set yet so I used this sketch challenge to use it for the first time. I coloured up the flowers with a combination of blends and watercolor pencils and fussy cut the images out. I then added some diecuts from the Natures Symphony Dies to add extra details to the card. The square piece of white cardstock in the background has been stamped with the Lasting Linen Stamp in Crump Cake. I love this stamp as is acts like DSP when you stamp it in a colour to match your colour scheme. I then added a Linen Thread bow and some Basic Rhinestones and a sentiment.

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.

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:

Hey Everyone
Welcome to the last challenge at Just Add Ink for 2025. This challenge is perfect for those who are wanting to finish off those last minute Christmas cards.
I had thought about including all of the elements of the challenge for my card, but I got too lazy and only ended up adding three of them – trees, stripes and twine.
I’ve added trees stamped from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set and paper from the matching Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper pack. I then added a double bow made with the Black and White and Gold Bakers Twine. This was tucked under the layers and adhered with a glue dot.
The team have created wonderful inspo for you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created. We’d love for you to play along with us.
Wishing you all a safe festive season – see you again in 2026!

Hey Everyone
We have a new challenge over at Just Add Ink for you to play along with. This week is a colour challenge. These colours lend to a Halloween card, but I decided to go against that and go with a floral card instead.
I created my card using the flowers from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set. I colours my leaves and flowers with a combination of blends and fussy cut the images out. I then stamped the background with an image from the Lovely Florals Stamp Set to add a bit of interest to the background. I then flicked some ink also for a bit of something to the background.
When I have a lot of colours that I am unsure how to combine, I always keep a lot of white space and add small touches of the challenge colours so they don’t become too overwhelming.
The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful projects that will inspire you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Hey Everyone
Thanks for joining us here at Just Add Ink! We’re so excited to share with you the first challenge of our new format and hope you’ll embrace the changes and have a ton of fun creating.
For challenge #771 we have expanded our regular Choose Two to now be Choose Two or More! You can use as many of the listed options as you like to feature on your projects, as long as it’s at least two, and don’t forget to tell us in your post which ones you chose. You’ll also have more time to create as we’ve moved from a weekly to bi-weekly (every two weeks) challenge!
I’ve chosen Plants, Pretties and Plaid for my Two or More for this challenge. The images I’ve stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut are from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set. I then added some diecut leaves from the Charming Day Dies for a dramatic effect under the images as I felt them lacking just by themselves against the DSP.
The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects for this challenge, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone
There is a new challenge to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:
I chose the following two elements from the challenge – patterned paper and pearls. If the DSP pack I chose had’ve had pastel colours in it, I would’ve added all three elements from the challenge.
The cute lil dinosaur images I’ve added to my card are from the Darling Dinosaurs Stamp Set. I’ve coloured them mostly with the Smoky Slate Blends with a touch of Garden Green to match the DSP in the background. I added some coloured rock images and a palm tree cut with the reitred Beach Day Dies.
The team have created awesome cards for this weeks challenge. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.
Thanks for stopping by.
