Neutral Sweet Jars Colour INKspiration #190

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

I love the neutral tones this time and what a gorgeous image!

My card features the Textured Notes stamp set combined with the Sweet Jar bundle! I created extra depth for the jars by sponging on the edges with Basic Beige ink to give them a rounded look. 

I have also added more foliage in my jars using a fun new die from the Peace on Earth dies coming in September. 

Inside the card features more stamping from Elements of Text with Basic Beige and sponging with Crumb Cake.  

My finishing touches are Crumb Cake bakers twine and Iridescent Foil Gems.

Kintsugi Inspirations CTC#525

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING the Kintsugi Suite pages 58 - 60.

I love the simplicity and elegance of this suite and it's really easy to put cards together using these lovely images.  I also really love the elegant colours of the papers!!

My card base is one of the Stripes & Florals Mix and Match cards and envelopes (currently on the Last Chance list at a discounted price!!)

I've then embossed some Secret Sea with the lovely Joined Together embossing folder and added some of the vases from the coordinating designer paper as well as a stamped and coloured vase.

Up next is the extraordinary Monique

Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Alternative

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today is Scrapbooking Global day!! Each month we share some great inspiration for you!

This month we are sharing some great alternatives to our Stampin' Up! workshop kits.

I've used the fabulous Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Kit.

And I've taken my inspiration from the catalogue featuring the gorgeous coordinating stamp set Weekend Adventures.

I like the torn pieces of designer paper and all the extra bits of colour used with a blending brush.

This kit worked perfectly for our camping photos and I love this Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop kit so much and can see it being used a LOT in my craft room!

The little stickers and extras in the kit work really well for adding extra interest.

 

I really hope YOU are inspired to try this!!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AMAZING projects!!

Paper crafting monthly blog hop - Masculine

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today I'm joining the fabulous paper crafting monthly blog hop of fabulous international crafters.  Join us for a world tour of inspiration!

This month we are featuring Masculine projects!

I've used the amazing rip and flip technique to create this card using the Weekend Adventures designer paper.

I love the splotchy stamp image - makes adding texture super easy and doubles as the perfect way to disguise splotchy mistakes!!

The greeting is the awesome Layered Thoughts stamp set combined with the imagery from the Weekend Adventures stamp set.  

Here's a quick video showing this fun technique.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AWESOME inspiration!!
