Inkspirational #192

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational. And this time it is our word prompt and the word is:

Fold

I found this a tough one but then saw these stamps and went with 'folding' newspaper into a party hat!

The folded paper hats are from Visible Images and the sentiment from STAMPlorations and the frames are Winnie and Walter-tilda essential cutaways

All the DT have come up with fab ideas for this-take a look here and then get inky!

Time Out #140

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Time Out and it is our photo challenge.

Here is the card I made:

Inspired by the greys and white in this photo, plus the flower reminded me of this tutu!

The sponsor for this challenge is Topflight Stamps-a new challenge for us at Time Out and we are so excited they are supporting us.

Here I have used their stamp set Born to Perform by Visible Images

All the DT have made amazing cards-take a look here and then take some TIME OUT and have some fun with us!

Enjoy!

Teal and Gold!

Hi All

Quick drop in with a very CAS card made using one of my favourite card combos-teal and gold. Love how the gold shimmers on the teal.

I used a new stamp given to me by the lovely Cornelia when we met in London about 6 weeks ago. It is from Unity Stamps-thank you Cornelia!

I simply heat embossed it in gold on to the teal card. Then did the same with the sentiment using black card-this I popped it up on foam pads.

Have a good day x

Crafty Friends!

Hi All

I met a crafty friend from Austria on holiday on the beach in Greece-we are everywhere!

Her craft is making things from shells and pebbles. She got me collecting pebbles so she could make me a necklace. And yesterday she emailed me to say it was on its way.

I haven't crafted for ages but so wanted to make her a card so I can send it to her when my necklace arrives-I will share a picture of my necklace when I have it.

Here is her card:

The background is an embossed panel given to me by another crafty buddy Joyce. The deep purple is water coloured and the sentiment is heat embossed onto the panel. This stamp is from Penny and Black and was a presssie a long time ago from yet another craft buddy Sarah G (who now runs her own stamp and stencil company-take a look here)

So my design but helped along by pressies from crafting friends and off to a crafting friend met on the beech!!

Have a fun day and I will enter this into:

Just Us Girls-sentiment focal point

Addicted to CAS-heat-I went with the heat embossing

Hi All

I made cards!

Hi All

I finally made some cards!

I was inspired by the Twofer Card Challenge 'Garden' and used this floral sparkle wreath die to make 2 different kinds of cards. This die was a pressie from teamie, Jill at Time Out-thanks Jill!

Here are the 2 cards together-sorry for poor photo but light was not so good!

The first card is a Birthday card where I used the wreath off the edge and just popped a sparkle flower in the centre (a pressie from teamie Anila at Inkspirational-thanks Anila). Added the enamel dot for some colour:

And the second card I went with Christmas, using the floral wreath as a Xmas wreath! Also there are, what look like snowflakes, all around the wreath. Just die cut it and added mirri card underneath! And a label with a touch of the mirri card!

The first card I will also enter into:

Less is More-Celebrations

AAA Cards-maxi white space

AAA Birthday-For the Girls

And the second I will enter into:

CAS Christmas Challenge-Snowflakes

Have a fun day!

       

    

Time Out #139

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Time Out and it is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge.

Here is my card:

And here are the words:

Here I used the stamp set Book and Film Stamp Set by our fabulous sponsor Catherine Pooler

I know there is so much to be inspired by in this phrase and as I was looking through the stamps sets at Catherine Pooler my eye was caught by this movie and books set and my original ideas were forgotten! 

My mind went to the word 'Happy' and what makes me happy.....and guess what movies do!!

Hubby and I spend as much time as we can going to the movies and I have a very special friend who loves doing the same with her hubby....so this is her 'Happy Birthday' card!! I find it funny the way inspiration takes us!

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Claire. Claire has supported Time Out for many years and we love to see her creative designs in our gallery. Her blog Life On the Scrap Heap is a delight to visit and pop on over there to check out the amazing cards.

Then back to Time Out to see what Claire and the DT have made to inspire you!

Enjoy x
