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.

Thank you for visiting me today. Please, you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges here. We really would love to see your creations. Also pop over for a visit to see the projects of other talented stampers.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop

Hello I am Karen Farquhar and welcome to the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. Well ooooh it's sneak peak time. How exciting! Next month Stampin' Up release their 2018 Holiday Catalogue and of course it goes without saying that it is jammed pack with more gorgeous products. Whether you celebrate the holidays or not you are sure to fall in love with something on offer from this catalogue.

My first purchase from the new Holiday catalogue is a little stamp set that probably most people would overlook the Wishing You Well stamp set. It was the pretty tulle bow stamp that caught my eye so I have created 3 cards using this set. The stamp set belongs to Stampin' Ups! Distinktive stamps range. Distinktive stamps are designed to create different opacities in a single stamped image for more realistic depth and intensity.

The floral paper I have used is the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Frosted Floral Suite. What a gorgeous suite this one is. I have teamed it with 2 of the colours in the paper print Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss.

Thank you for visiting me. I hope the projects you've seen here today have inspired you & brightened your day. Please feel free to hop through all of the stampers on the list below to see all the projects. You won't want to miss any!
