Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 15 May 2023

Sadly we have ended the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Monthly Challenge due to lack of entrants.

Instead the Design Team members will be posting three cards/projects each month on the Facebook Group for inspiration on what you could make with Ching-Chou Kuik's amazing images.

Here is one of my inspiration posts.

Here is a Christmas card I have made using the Ching-Chou Kuik pre-coloured image called "Aurora Woods".  This image comes in a set along with "Holy Venice Night" and "Holly Fairy".

I have printed out the image onto glossy photo paper and used various nesting die sizes to create a pyromage effect.

The backing papers I have used from a paper pad I bought in the Hobby Lobby in Utah last year.

I have finished the card off simply with a little wooden deer and a sentiment from the paper pad.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 8 May 2023

Sadly we have ended the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Monthly Challenge due to lack of entrants.

Instead the Design Team members will be posting three cards/projects each month on the Facebook Group for inspiration on what you could make with Ching-Chou Kuik's amazing images.

Here is one of my inspiration posts.

One of my fellow Design Team members asked for some Christmas images recently and it spurred me onto making some Christmas cards.

For this Christmas card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik pre-coloured image called "Crimson Holly".  She comes in a set along with Cherish Christmas and Holly Night.

I printed the image off onto glossy photo paper and then cut the image out with some nesting scallop dies so I could do a pyromage effect with them.  I've taken my photo so you can see the raised areas.  I like doing decoupage or pyromage with the pre-coloured images - maybe its because when I started crafting I started with decoupage cards.

The backing papers are from a gorgeous paper pad from the Hobby Lobby when we went to Utah last year.  I so did not want to start this paper pad but it had to be done.  Just wish we had this store in the UK.

I have finished the card off with a Lily of the Valley digital sentiment and some holly leaves cut out from scraps left of the backing paper ("waste not, want not" but crumbs they were fiddly to cut out with my dodgy hands and eyes let alone inking them!!).

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 1 May 2023

Sadly we have ended the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Monthly Challenge due to lack of entrants.

Instead the Design Team members will be posting three cards/projects each month on the Facebook Group for inspiration on what you could make with Ching-Chou Kuik's amazing images.

Here is one of my inspiration posts.

This month I have started off with another page in my journal using the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Deer in Woods".  You will receive one image with a full background with the trees and one without the trees.  I have used the image with the trees.

I have coloured my image in with my Sentimentally Yours alcohol pens, torn around the image and then inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Gathered Twigs distress ink.

For the background I have inked on some watercolour card with some Tim Holtz Mustard Seed and Crushed Olive distress ink.  I have then used various stamps to add some depth and to frame the image and also added a sentiment.

I have finished the page off with a Sentimentally Yours banner stamped with some pine cones, flower and some die-cut leaves.

Here you can see it in the journal sitting next to last months' journal page.
