Inspire Create Challenge #184 – Fancy Fold!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is my design team make for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

For Challenge #184 we are creating fancy fold projects!

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

I have chosen the Beautiful Butterflies to work with to make my project.

To make the card base, an sheet of A4 was cut on the short side to 5⅞ inch.

Rotate the cardstock and score at 1⅝ and 3¾ at both ends and crease well.

Country Lace Designer Series Paper was added to the outer panels. Basic White was added to the centre panel.

Coordinating ink was used to stamp the large butterfly and die cut. The detailed layer was cut from Flirty Flamingo cardstock and adhered over the top with a Basic Grey body.

The sentiment was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink.

The elements were added to the outer panels to complete the fun fold.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Coordinating ink was used to stamp a large butterfly to add to the rectangle.

Inspire Create Challenge #180 – Colour Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

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

For Challenge #180 we are using a colour challenge for all our projects!

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

Whilst the greys are sombre colours that lend themselves to sympathy cards, they can still make something beautiful.

I’ve worked with four shades today, this sample uses the warmer Gray Granite and Pebbled Path. You can see the difference in the look with cool shades Basic Grey and Smoky Slate below.

I chose to work with the Layers of Beauty decorative masks.

The large image was die cut and added to complementary card bases and layered panels. The bright white was knocked back with the residual ink on my blending brush.

The sentiment was cut with a die or punch with a touch of ribbon behind and finished with some grey pearls.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

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.

Inspire Create Challenge #177 – Case the Designer!

Hello Everyone,

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

For Challenge #177 we are using a floral theme for all our projects!

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

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.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Hello Everyone,

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

For Challenge #174 we are making cards for the guys!

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

I am working with the Sketched Plaid background stamp to make my project today.

I used a dark ink for the stamping, and added extra lines with a Stampin’ Blend marker.

The panel was layered onto matching cardstock.

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.

This version uses Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat!

I would love to be your demonstrator.
