TIME OUT #195 - Use a Coloured Card Base

This fortnight at TIME OUT, we have a theme challenge - we want to see your projects using a coloured card base

Our sponsor for this challenge is Newton's Nook Designs - they are generously offering the challenge winner a $25 gift voucher to their store :)

I went for an Autumn inspired card design - featuring white embossed Winnie & Walter leaves on a kraft card stock and a few gold splatters. I brought the Autumn colours into the design using a Spellbinders sentiment which is foiled in gold. These foil plates were from a monthly Spellbinders Glimmer - I love the way you can build the sentiments in this set.

We are lucky to be joined for this challenge by Toni from Frankie Helps Craft :)

Thanks for stopping by!

TIME OUT #194 - Photo Inspiration

We have a very special TIME OUT challenge for you this fortnight as both the inspiration photo and the prize are provided by our very own DT member, Kim from Cupcakes, Cards and Kim. She is the owner-operator of our sponsor, Running Stitch Design.

For the challenge, we are looking for projects inspired by this photo - but here is the fun part - the winner of the challenge will receive the actual tote in the photo :) The tote is fully lined and It has a zipper pocket on front, inside pockets and webbing for the handles.  Tote measures 16.5x10.5x6. If you are interested in checking out any of the other fabulous products available from Running Stitch Design, please  check here.

Here is how I was inspired by the photo:

I thought that the tote would make a great knitting bag so I used some products from an older Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit. I die cut the heart from felt to mimic the look of wool and the knitting needles from metallic cardstock for a little bit of shine.

We are also very lucky to have two Guest Designers join us for this challenge :)

Sandie from London Days co-founded Time Out and ran it for eight years until taking a step back a couple of moths ago - but we are so happy that she is back with us for this special challenge :)

We are also thrilled to have Nathalie from wonderingwabbit join us for this challenge. Her colouring is absolutely amazing so make sure you take a minute to check out her Instgram>

Thanks so much for stopping by!
