This palette is really so not me but I couldn't pass up this opportunity!

Christmas Cards 2019

Jo's Stamping Spot - Christmas Cards 2019


I just quickly wanted to drop in and share with you the cards I sent to family and friends for this Christmas season.

You may have seen a recent post for Just Add Ink where I shared this card for challenge #484:

Jo's Stamping Spot - Christmas Cards 2019


I decided to base my Christmas cards on this design but do it slightly different!

Happy Friday! Today I have my last Just Add Ink challenge for the year and this week we have an inspiration picture from Rachael!

It's a lovely Christmassy inspiration picture with all the traditional colours! My Christmas cards are not usually traditional so this card really turned out to be not so easy!

Global Design Project #217 - Colour Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Global Design Project #GDP217


This week over at the Global Design Project they have a gorgeous colour combination I couldn't help but create and enter for! I can't believe it has been so long since I've done a Global Design Project challenge!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Global Design Project #GDP217


This is such a great combo to do a flowery card so I went with my current fave, Good Morning Magnolia!

We're hitting the home stretch with our Just Add Ink challenges for this year! Today we have a new challenge for you, a lovely colour challenge suggested by Rachael.

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #484


I desperately needed to start my Christmas cards and since I love challenging myself with non-traditional colours I thought I'd give this one a real go!

Just Add Ink #482 - Sketch Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #482


I can't believe we are in November already! Well, this week we have a new sketch from Jackie for our challenge at Just Add Ink. This challenge will run for two weeks while most Demonstrators attend OnStage events around the world.

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #482


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #482


I thoroughly intended to start my Christmas cards with this sketch but after finally receiving my Purple Posy inks I just had to have a play with those!

Just Add Ink #480 - Add A Technique

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #480


I'm back with a very special card for this week's Just Add Ink Challenge! Jan has asked us to 'Add A Technique'!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #480


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #480


My hubby turned 50 just over a month ago and so I wanted to make his card 'extra' special so the technique I chose to use is an Extended Concertina Card, got to love a fancy fold (which I don't do often enough)!

Just Add Ink #478 - Just Add 'H'

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #478


We have another new challenge for you today for Just Add Ink! This week Tina has asked us to add 'H' to our projects!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #478


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #478


There really are so many options for adding 'H', from colours to techniques to shapes to objects, many more than just 'Happy Birthday'! My card today I made for our 19th wedding anniversary that fell a few days ago.

Just Add Ink #476 - Inspiration Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #476


Welcome to a new challenge for Just Add Ink. This week's challenge is an inspiration picture from Lou!

There's lots of inspiration to take from this picture, such beautiful colours and also one of my favourite stamping subjects - flowers!

Just Add Ink #474 - Colour Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #474


I'm loving the challenge we have for you this week at Just Add Ink! I suggested to the girls to use this stunning colour combination!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #474


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #474


Isn't it lovely! I can see lots of flowery cards for this challenge! For my card I did do a few flowers but I also went a bit different and used birds!

Father's Day 2019

Jo's Stamping Spot - Father's Day 2019


I'm back today to share the card I made for my Dad for Father's Day which we celebrated on Sunday here in Australia.

I was lucky I knew exactly what I wanted to make him this year! Recently for one of our Just Add Ink challenges fellow Design Team member Kim had created THIS card using the Sailing Home stamp set and I wanted to CASE this card because I knew it would be perfect for my Dad.

Just Add Ink #472 - Sketch Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #472


I'm back today with a new challenge for Just Add Ink and this week we've been given a sketch challenge by Tina!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #472


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #472


You've got to love a sketch challenge, they are one of my favourites because I love playing with new layouts! I was initially stumped but after flipping the challenge it soon all came together!

Just Add Ink #470 - No Stamping Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #470


Welcome to another challenge for Just Add Ink! This week I challenged the team to create a project with 'No Stamping'!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #470


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #470


This challenge turned out harder than I imagined and I thought it would be pretty easy! No stamping backgrounds, no stamping for colouring, it was harder than I thought to actually not stamp a thing!

Just Add Ink #468 - Just Add 'C'

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #468


Welcome back to another new challenge for Just Add Ink! This week Tina has suggested we add 'C' to our projects!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #468


Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #468


I found this letter much easier to work with than some of the other recent letters. There are lots of 'C' items I could have used ranging from colours, to Christmas, to cows, colouring and stamp sets. The 'C' items I ended up using were Coastal Cabana and cupcakes!

I fell in love with this combination the moment I saw it, I think mostly because it is soooo not me! I really had a hard time choosing what I wanted to use for my project but in the end I went simple and mostly created my own!

Happy Friday and welcome to the latest Just Add Ink Challenge! This week we are playing along with an inspiration picture suggested by Kelly!

I think we were aiming for Christmas in July with this picture but I've totally gone a different way because I just don't think about Christmas so early!

Just Add Ink #464 - Colour Challenge

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #464


Happy Friday! Today we have a new challenge at Just Add Ink and this week Jackie has given us a fab colour combination to play with!

Nothing says make a lovely flower card like having gorgeous pinks and greens to play with and that's exactly what I went with!

I have a new card for you today for the latest Colour INKspiration challenge!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Colour INKspiration Challenge #058


Jo's Stamping Spot - Colour INKspiration Challenge #058


It's been quite a while since I have entered any challenges and having a bit of spare time on my hands this week I really wanted to give this one a crack because the colours are just so darned lovely!
