Ok, so this month’s InspireINK blog hop theme was Milestone Birthdays… and while I love a good milestone, I don’t have ANY in my family or friends this year. I think that the next person to celebrate a birthday in our family will be 34 (or maybe 35…. I can’t remember!). Anyway…. I sort of changed Milestone for BIG…. and so this card was created…

Monotone Mint Birthday Card using the Sequin Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!

I haven’t used Happy Birthday Thinlit die in a while… but I am so glad it’s carried forward into the new Annual Catalogue, it just makes some really simple, but really effective birthday cards. Here I’ve die cut it 4 times; 3 time from Very Vanilla card stock, and once from a piece of Mint Macaron card stock that I had added some ink blending to. I have to add that I did pop some Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet onto the back of the card stock before I die cut it… just makes stacking these die cuts SO much easier!

I put a heap of sequins into one of my recent Stampin’ Up! orders…. I LOVE sequins on cards, and self-adhesive ones are just fantastic! Then I remembered that I had grabbed the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder to an order a while ago, and hadn’t used it (I know, it’s shocking isn’t it!) and so I ripped the plastic off it, and ran it through my Big Shot…. for a completely Sequined card!

I can’t wait to see what the other girls in the InspireINK team have created for this challenge…. why not hop along with me and find out!

Oh dear…. I totally dropped the ball in May, I’m usually super organised when it comes to my blog, but this past month I have managed to miss several blog hops that I LOVE taking part in… and I almost missed this one too! It actually should have been last weekend, but I think we all felt May… and so it’s the first weekend of June instead!

This month’s Theme was set by the ever gorgeous Sam Roberts…. and boy did she give us a challenge!

InspireInk Blog Hop cardmaking challenge theme FunFair Carnival

I cannot WAIT to see what the other ladies have made for this one! I spent hours thinking about this theme…. so long that I missed the original deadline! But… creating bold and bright projects for my In-Colour week brought me inspiration, and this card arrived on my desk!

I haven’t taken the Lift Me Up Stamp Set off the shelf in AGES… and I had forgotten how much I love it! It has the cutest coordinating die set, Up and Away thinlits.

This card is SO bright, thanks mainly to that fun Pineapple Punch card base. The other colours on this card are; Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade.
