Inspire Create Challenge #178 – Autumn / Halloween!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge…. Challenge #178 is all about Autumn or Halloween!

You can see what the design team has created and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I decided to mix up the two themes, using an alternative Halloween colour way for these beautiful autumn leaves.

I added some ink to the card panel to complement the leaves in the design.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The leaves were fussy cut and added in various angles with some lifted on dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink to carry through the theme.

Here’s a more traditional version using Wild Wheat, Pumpkin Pie and Copper Clay.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

I’ve used the One of a Kind and Snowy Wonder stamp sets.

I started stamping with the largest image and darkest colour, and worked across the length and width of the cardstock.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The stamped cardstock was cut in to four card panels to add to white card bases.

I then added a punched sentiment and embellishments.

I am using the Snowy Wonder bundle to make my card.

The Blackberry Bliss panel was cut to 4¾ x 3 and then cut at angle. Small trees and snowflakes were added in matching ink for a tone on tone effect.

The sentiment was added in the bottom corner.

A selection of cardstock scraps, (all subtles in this case), were stamped and die cut and adhered to a Basic White circle. I used a spare die cut but you could use a punch or a different shape altogether.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

Finally, some grey pearls were added to the front, and some trees were stamped on the inside.

Here’s an alternative combo using Night of Navy and the 2024 in colours.

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop. Our theme this month is Embossing!

Heather Forgan – Stamp With Nellie

Victoria Littlewood – Vickie Lou Designs

Jayne Frank – Craft with Jayne

I’ve been experimenting with variations of the Joseph’s Coat technique.

For this one, I used pinks and purples to colour the some Basic White cardstock.

The flowers from the Labelled with Love stamp set wre used to stamp over the background with versamark ink. These were then heat embossed with clear powder.

Berry Burst ink was added over the top of the embossing allowing the background colours to show through.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

This version is more traditional, in that it uses black ink to create the resist. The background was coloured with subtles inks.

And for these….

I used the brights inks with the butterflies, and added Night of Navy.

For something completely different, I went for an ombre background of Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock!

Inspire Create Challenge #175 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #175 we are using a sketch to inspire our projects!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

As usual, I prefer a portrait layout, so I have rotated the sketch for my design.

I added Pretty Peacock ink to the background panel with a blending brush.

The Distressed Tile embossing folder was then used for a letterpress technique with Wild Wheat ink.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I find that the results are best with two passes through the die cut machine.

I used my paper trimmer to slice the panel into sections.

A Heartfelt Hexagon was added at the intersection. Sketched Butterflies dies were substituted for gems or pearls!

Try other colour combinations… This one is more muted, with Copper Clay and Basic Beige.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Some twine was added before adhering to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped to match the card base and die cut using the Everyday Details die. This was added to a larger die cut, and adhered to the card with dimensionals.
