Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Challenge 132

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week the design team have been set a colour challenge. The colours are Early Espresso, Petal Pink, rich Razzleberry and Granny Apple Green.

For my card I have given you a little sneak peek from the Mini Catalogue  January-April 2023 due for release on the 5th of January.

This cute little guy is from the Best Day stamp set and the Designer series paper is called Dandy Designs which is one of the papers available free during Sale-a-bration with a $180 purchase. This pack of papers include 48 sheets: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. Sale-a-bration also commences on the 5th January, 2023 and runs until the 28th February 2023.

. 

 My granddaughter's Birthday falls on the 3rd January so I have designed this card for her. Being so close to Christmas she often requests a gift card or money so I have designed this card with a little pop-up carry bag inside to hold a gift card for her.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge#131

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week our challenge is a sketch challenge.

I have used the beautiful Lights Aglow Suite for my creations today. I will admit this sketch did have me rattled and it took a lot of pondering to come up with these ideas. 

For my first two cards I have followed the sketch design.

And for my third card I have I changed the aspect of the sketch. From vertical to horizontal. When I saw this photo on my computer I thought I had left some random mini glue dots on the star reef but however when I went back to look at the actual card I remembered I had placed some Fine Sparkle Adhesive Gems around the reef. Very pretty in real life but they look like glue dots in my photograph. OOPs!

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges. Challenge130

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week our challenge is a blank canvas.

I have submitted a card I made for my son's birthday. I always find it hard to come up with masculine card ideas. 

For this one I have created a gate card using an ombre effect to stamp the 'Happy' image from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight inks. Starting from the lightest and graduating down the stamp to the darkest shade I have applied the inks with Sponge Daubers.  Using my Stamparatus I have stamped the image 3 times once for each colour. Unfortunately the Designer Series Paper has retired but I liked the idea of the woodgrain background. 

For the inside of the card I have stamped the schooner glass of beer from the Brewed For You stamp set.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge 129

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have a theme challenge for you 'Festive'.

For my submission I have chosen to use the Lights Aglow Suite from Stampin' Up!'s July to December 2022 Mini catalogue. 

To create the first card I took a piece of 13cm x 29.5cm Very Vanilla cardstock and scored the long side at 4.5cm, 9.5cm,19.5cm, 24.5cm. Creating a gatefold card.

I matched the centre of the tree die along the edge of the first fold of the cardstock and placed edge of my top cutting plate of my emboss die cutting machine on the fold. I then ran the die through to the folded edge of the cardstock only cutting to the middle of the tree. I then repeated this on the last fold of the card only cutting the opposite tree side.

I then die cut a piece of gold glimmer specialty paper with the tree die.

Next I gold embossed the tree stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it as well

I cut the two die cut trees down the centre, then layered and adhered all pieces to the respective tree sides on the front of the card.

I adhered two 4.6cm x 12.6 pieces of gold glimmer specialty paper to the front of the card.

Then embossed two 4.2 x 12. 2 Very Vanilla  cardstock panels and adhered them to the front of the card

I then stamped and gold embossed the 3 stars in the stamp set, die cut them and adhered them to the right hand corner of the card front.  

For this card I have used the Brightest Glow Bundle to create this card. 

This card was created using a combination of the Labels Aglow Dies Christmas Banners Bundle and the Country Wreaths Bundle.
