TIME OUT #167 - Inspired BY Words

At TIME OUT, we have some fabulous inspirattional words to get your crafting mojo going this fortnight :)

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Top Flight Stamps - they are offering the winner a $25 gift voucher to their store!!!!

I decided make another slim line card for this challenge - I am really loving playing with this size. I decided to focus on the dance party portion of the words - and I thought thescute critters from Winnie & Walter (sadly, no longer available) would make a fun scene. I used an MFT die to create the "photo frames" and coloured the critters with COpics. I ink blended the card base to add a little more colour. Some foam tape for dimension, and some sequins for sparkle and I called it done :)

We are lucky to have the talented Ashwini from Experiments in Card Making joining us this week - her creations are always so lovely. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #166 - Peaceful

This fortnight at TIME OUT, we are challenging you to create a peaceful project - whatever that means to you.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Newton's Nook, who are generously offering the winner a $25 gift voucher :)

I find peace with hot yoga so I wanted to create a card using Stamplorations Frog Yoga. The problem I had was choosing which of the cute frogs to use on my card - so I decided to do a slimline design so that I could use three of them :) The design is very simple - I die cut three apertures in the card panel and brushed some Wild Honey Distress Ink behind the openings on the card base. The frogs were stamped and coloured using Copics and then fussy cut with a white border and adhered to the panel. I added the "namaste" sentiment from the set for a simple greeting and then used some foam tape to pop up the card panel on the base.

This stamp set has some fun greetings - so I decided to include one of them on the inside of my card - here it is:

TIME OUT #165 - Inspired By "Days Gone By"

For out TIME OUT challenge this fortnight, we are lookig for projects inspired by a "Days Gone By" theme.It woud be even better if the project you created included our optional twist of using embellishments.

Our sponsor for this challenge is CAS-ual Friday Stamps - they are generously offering the winner of the challenge a $25 gift voucher to their store :)

For my card, I was really inspired by the snarky sentiments in the CAS-ual Fridays stamp set Frankly'isms - there are so many that I liked and that worked with the theme but I finally decided on the one below. I paired it with a an image from MFT that I Copic coloured and fussy cut - and I embellished with some gold confetti.

In hindsight, the sentiment should have been higher up and embossed in gold instead of stamped in black - but I didn't have time to redo it....

Our guest designer for this challenge is one of very talented regular players, Claire from Life on the Scrap Heap. We are very lucky to have her joining us :)
