Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #30

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #030.
Challenge #030 is a Theme Challenge: Thankful



Even though I live in Australia and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here as our American friends do I feel so very privileged to call this beautiful country my home.
I am so thankful for my family, my wonderful friends, my freedom, to be able to live in peace and fortunate to have a roof over my head and food on the table. Simple things denied of many other people in our country and world wide.
I truely have been blessed and feel very grateful in deed.
 For this fortnight's challenge I have created a Thank you card with a country feel. 





I have stamped the milk can and flowers from the Country Home Stamp Set and set it against a Night of Navy Buffalo Check Background Stamp.



What more could say thank you than a box of home baked White Chocolate and Cranberry cookies.
I have inked up my Buffalo Check Background Stamp again then cut the stamped image into strips. I have then used my Envelope Punch Board to create a bow for my Baker's Box.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Sketch Design #029


Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #029.
Challenge #029 is a Sketch Challenge


Well with the Christmas Season creeping up very quickly I thought I should get my act together and start on my Christmas card making. So for this week's challenge I have designed a Christmas card with the Dashing Deer Bundle. I have teamed it up with some copper embossing, a Copper Foil Sheet and the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. I liked the way the copper embossing picked up the swirly design on the reindeer.





To coordinate with my card I have created some gift tags using the same Dashing Deer Bundle.
The Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper doesn't photograph so well but it is just beautiful in real life. Seasonal designs on one side and copper foil accents on the other. I skipped over it in the catalogue but after seeing some projects created by a friend I am now on to my second pack.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #028


Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge.
Stamping Challenge #028 is a colour challenge and the colours are just gorgeous. 


However even though the colours are so pretty and look lovely together I was a bit puzzled as to how to incorporate them into one card. So what I have done is use all the colours and the baby wipe technique with a result I love.
I felt as if the colours were sort of Autumn tones or Fall tones so I have made a wreath in the colours for our Northern Hemisphere friends who will be celebrating Thanksgiving and Halloween soon. 









Then again they could also be pretty Spring colours so I have swapped out the cardstock and made some Spring designs as well.
