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’!

Let’s Create with the Regal Winter Suite!

Hello Everyone,

I spent the weekend crafting with my sister demonstrates and we used this beautiful Regal Winter suite.

Coordinating ink was was used to stamp the sentiment and leaf details.

To finish I added a bow in Wild Wheat ribbon and added some gold sequins.

Decorative Christmas Trees using Non-Traditional Colours!

Hello Everyone,

You know it’s Christmas when its time to get the tree out and put up the decorations!

Now you can do it with cardstock too with the Decorative Trees bundle!

The trees were die cut from Balmy Blue cardstock. I chose the snowflake details to add on top which I cut from Basic White.

You can try using the colours the other way round… Or something completely different… Foil cardstock would look amazing!

For the baubles,I opted to stamped and then die cut, but you could use coloured cardstock too.

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

Some metallic trim was wrapped around the background panel before adding the trees with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on coordinating cardstock and heat embossed to match the trim.

This one uses the smaller tree and a more traditional red and green combo, on Basic Beige with gold metallic accents.

Project Share Project Blog Hop – September 2024 – Embossing!

Good Morning Everybody,

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

See the other projects by using the links below, or use the “Next” button at the bottom of this post!

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!
