Time Out Challenges Reminder!

HI friends!

I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at Time Out where we are inspired by this fabulous photo:

I was inspired by the blue wall, the yellow table and the flowers on the vase! I used the amazing Wallpaper Art Stamps and Dies by Altenew in my card -Altenew is our generous sponsor in this challenge. Play along for a chance to win a fab prize and to be called to guest design in a future challenge! This time our guest designer is the very talented Maria F. Lots of more DT inspiration in our challenge blog!

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share my DT card for our new challenge at Inkspirational! It's a nice and easy word prompt:

Very appropriate for summer!

My good friend Milla continues as our June guest designer. Don't miss her card or any inspiration from the DT, click HERE! 

For my card I colored in some cute strawberries by Clearly Besotted with Copics. I die cut a sort of story book die shape with a Pretty Pink Posh die to "mount" the image to the card base. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted as well. A very simple card -I did try to add more elements to this but could not make them work! :) 

Thanks for popping by and I hope to see you joining Inkspirational!

TIME OUT Challenge Reminder

Hi friends!

I'm here to remind you of the fabulous birthday party we are celebrating at TIME OUT: We are turning 3 and are partying big time! We have 6 prizes for grabs from wonderful sponsors. Don't miss any of the fun, click HERE for all the details for what you could win and how! The theme of the challenge is 

Love and/or Friendship with the optional twist of 'spotlight stamping' where you add colour only to one raised area of your image

As you can see, I opted to twist! I die cut a Pretty Pink Posh storybook die from white card and stamped a Paper Smooches flower stamp on it with black Memento ink. I colored all the areas of the stamp that where on the "tall window" of the storybook die and left other areas uncolored. In my final card I've raised the colored area up with fun foam and added a heat embossed sentiment. The card base is covered with polka dot patterned paper. My only embellishment is a yellow enamel dot. I think this turned out pretty fun!

Playing with Dies for Challenges... Again! :)

Hi guys!

Here's a second card I made using the Pretty Pinks Posh storybook die I bought back in December (first one is in my previous post!). I also used a sentiment die and sentiment stamp by MFT, gold card + patterned paper that mimics wood. I die cut the sentiment 4 times: 3 times out of the same gold card I used for the base and once from gold glitter card and stacked them together. The sentiment is heat embossed with white powder. 

I was inspired by:

Addicted to CAS: Wood

The Paper Players: Sentiment as Focal Point

Stamp Ink Paper: Kindness

It's a kind message, isn't it! And it's always kind to send a card for someone just because they are great! :)

Playing with Dies for Challenges!

Hi friends!

I had house guests all weekend but managed to squeeze in a little bit of crafting before bedtime yesterday! Bedtime was sort of late because of the card making though... Was super sleepy at work today! :)

Anyway, I was inspired by this week's Less Is More: Alphabeth. After seeing the challenge topic I immediately thought of these designer papers I had... And the Happy Little Stampers sentiment I decided to use fits the challenge pretty well too I think! I played with my Pretty Pink Posh die that I hadn't used before -when I bought this die I though it would be great for using designer paper in a CAS way. The flower die is by Penny Black. I winked it but this is photographed in grey Finnish winter day light so you can't see the shine. :)
