Hello Everyone,

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

For Challenge #158 we are casing fellow design team member Tammy!

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

I’ve taken different route to create the framed edge, using stamps rather than Designer Series Paper.

This was heat embossed with clear powder. A touch of ink blending lifts this from the background.

The colour combo I’ve used is Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Moody Mauve.

You can see this card in my You Tube video…

I swapped the colours to something brighter, Shaded Spruce,Lemon Lime Twist and Sweet Sorbet.

Which do you like best?

And here’s something completely different!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

This card was inspired by a card I saw on Instagram by @annenkortit

I thought the layout of her card was really pretty, I hope I have done it justice!

Inspired by Friends

Hello Everyone,

The last few weeks have been a bit full on meaning I have had less time to craft. I’ve also been having some crafters block. So I have taken inspiration from one of my friends!

The original design was created by my friend Helzie. You can read her blog post here.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these lovely cards when I spent a crafty afternoon with her and other members of the team.

My spin on this card was to use the new metallic pigment inks from the Autumn Winter catalogue. These were applied with sponge daubers on to some Very Vanilla card stock which was then adhered behind the laser cut panel.

My sentiment was from the Waterfront stamp set and cut twice with the Tailored Tag Punch.

To embellish, I opted for Polka Dot Tulle ribbon and some butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Hello Everyone,

This week is a Case the Designer challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with the sketch here

This is what I made…. I used the idea of layering a Doily, a label and another focal element and added a bold sentiment to the bottom.

I die cut the large doily from a white card layer and adhered this to a Berry Burst card base. The sentiment was stamped at the bottom of the card with Berry Burst ink.

A Pretty Label was punched from Sahara Sand card stock and added with dimensionals.

The blooms from the Dear Doily set were stamped using the Stamparatus tool with Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst inks. I secured these to the card with Multipurpose glue.

A die cut bow was added along with some pearls to complete the card.
