Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Colour Challenge and/or CAS

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop for November 2026!

This month we have a Gratitude and Colour and/or CAS Challenge! I love a colour challenge and appreciated that it was to be a clean and simple card. This week has been busy with a critically ill family member who thankfully has been discharged and is in my care. 

The lovely colours for this challenge are 

Cajun Craze | Crushed Curry | Garden Green | Early Espresso | Basic Beige

The Cutest Crew Bundle is perfect for simple cards with the fun animal images. I have not used this bundle as much as I have wished to. I chose the simplest image of the sweet birds work with.

The card base and Embossed matt layer are both Basic White card stock. The matt layer embossed with the Softly Woven #3D Folder. This is one of my favourite Embossing Folders of all time!  It gives such wonderful texture to all types of projects. The mat layer is glued to the card base.

I stamped the birds in Memento™Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card stock I die cut them with the coordinating die and then coloured them using my Stampin' Write Markers. If you don't have these retired products you can use a Blender Pen and ink from the stamp pad and colour them very easily.

I adhered the birds using Dimensionals to the centre top of my card. I cut a length of the strip die in both Basic Beige and Cajun Craze. Bannered each end. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso on Basic White card stock and trimmed it to match the other two strips. I glued the pieces together in the centre with the sentiment at the top. While this layer was drying I tied a length of Linen Thread in a double bow and adhered it to the right hand side of the birds with a Glue Dot™. Adhering the sentiment layers with Dimensionals. I did resit the urge to use some embellishments around the birds to keep the process simple.
