Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge#181|Christmas

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set the theme challenge 'Christmas'.

For challenge #181 I cranked up my friend the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. I have embossed my background with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. For the Christmas bauble element I have used the Hang an Ornament Dies and the One of a Kind Dies. The silver embossed sentiment and scattered gems from my stash completes the card (the gems are no longer available but Stampin' Up! Rhinestones Basic Jewels would serve just as well).

A very simple card to pull together if you have a stack of Christmas cards to make.

I hope you like my project today and I have inspired you to enter the challenge. You can see more inspiration over on the 

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges blog site. 

 Please we really would love to see your creations. Note we need your projects submitted here by 10am. Sunday  (UK time). Below are the products I have used for today's project.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges: Challenge #180|Colour Challenge

 Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set a colour challenge. The challenge colour challenge being 'Many Shades of Grey'.

I chose to make a shaker card for my submission.

I have used a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin' Up!'s Winter Meadow DSP. The paper depicts a reindeer standing in a snow scene. A little difficult to see in the photograph due to reflection off the window sheet. The shaker elements are the White Loose Snowflakes and the embossing folder is the Painted Trees Embossing Folder. All available in my Online Store.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge #178 Autumn|Halloween

 Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set the theme challenge Autumn|Halloween. 

I was really thrilled when this challenge was offered. In Australia we don't celebrate Halloween as much as other countries do, however Stampin' Up! always release the most irresistible Halloween products. The challenge gave me a good excuse to purchase a few.

Firstly I have submitted a card for the challenge using the Potions and Spells bundle. My background die is from the Wintery Tree Tops die set.

 

I have also created some cute little Halloween treat boxes with the cauldron die from the Potions and Spells Dies. These will be for my grandchildren.

And while I had all the goodies out on my craft table I went ahead and created a very simple Scrapbook Layout with the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper.

Thank you for dropping by I hope you are inspired by my projects. Do you feel like you would like to join the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge?
