Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 19 June 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.
For my last inspiration post for June 2023 I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Aurora Woods".

I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my white gel pen.

The backing papers I have used are from Hobby Lobby.

I have finished the card off with some die-cut trees and a sentiment from the paper pad.

I thought I had better keep on-the-roll with making some Christmas cards.  This time I have used the pre-coloured Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Holly Fairy" which comes in a set along with two other images.

I have die-cut the image so I could do a pyromage card and have just laid on the layers with more and more foam squares to give height.

The backing papers I have used are from Hobby Lobby and the plain papers are from Summertime Designs (sadly no longer available).

I have finished the card off with four wooden holly embellishments from Hobbycraft and a sentiment from the backing 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!!).
