Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Challenge #111


 Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create.Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have a theme challenge for you, the theme being one of my favourites '3D'.




For my submission I have created a little treat pouch containing mini jelly beans. The colours of the jelly beans reminded me of the beautiful colours in our Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Sunshine & Rainbows which is free at the moment with every $90 order. This paper coordinates with the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle from our January-June 2022 mini catalogue.
The measurements for the treat pouch are:
8cm x 20cm of Basic White cardstock
Score 22cm side at 9cm, 11cm, 20cm
Fold on score lines to create pouch to hold 8cm x 8cm bag of jelly beans. I then used a die from the Brilliant Rainbow Dies to create the see through rainbow window on the front of the pouch. 
For my next projects I have created 2 cards. The Sale-a-bration stamp set Driving By brought back a couple of memories from my teenage years. 



The first card of the psychedelic Kombi Van reminds me of a dear friend at the time who drove a beat up Kombi van. You could hear it coming before you could see it. She told the story of the day she was parked in the main street of Wollongong and a policeman walked past, she stuck her foot out the window to cover up her registration sticker which had expired. He looked at her and her ungainly posture, shook his head, didn't notice the sticker and being a hippy type person she got away with it. 




The second card I have made for my sister. Her first car was a little green VW beetle she called the 'Green Frog'. One day we were all piled into the green frog when the interior started filling up with smoke. It turned out to be the engine on fire! Not the most reliable car but it managed to get her to and from University at the time.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Challenge #110


Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create.Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week the design team have been set a colour challenge using the Stampin' Up! colours Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Misty Moonlight, Sahara Sand and Soft Succulent.


So for this challenge I have gone with a masculine card. I felt the colours lent that way. 




Using the Handsomely Suited stamp set and it's coordinating dies Suit & Tie I have created a card I feel would be perfect to give a male teacher or male School Principal to acknowledge the enormously difficult challenges teachers and principals have had to encounter during the pandemic. With a change of sentiment the card would be perfect for a birthday or Father's Day as well.
The little tie bar was made with an off-cut of Gold Foil Sheet that was on my craft table. Goes to show you should hang on to your scraps. 

   




Speaking of scraps after completing the card I had some left over stamped images and card stock so while I had my stamp set and dies out I created a couple of more projects. The first one is a gift card holder. I used the brace buckle die form the Suit and Tie Dies to make the little tabs to hold the gift card. To form the tabs I fed the die only to the little notches on the side of the die to half cut the card stock.







Another project was a matchbook which could also be used to contain a gift card but I have inserted a tea bag in mine. This time I swapped out the Misty Moonlight card stock and ink for Evening Evergreen.
