Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Challenge #195/Water



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

For my submission I have chosen to use the All Zipped Up Dies for a fisherman's vest card. I then dressed it up with some feathers and die cuts from the Gone Fishing Die set.
Lots of fun to create with plenty of zippered and buttoned pockets for the avid fisherman to store his gear.
A great card for your favourite fisherman or fisherwoman. 





 A few weeks ago I created this card for my nephew, a supporters jacket card for his beloved local football side. I used the All Zipped Up Dies for this one as well. It was a winner with him.



I hope you like my projects today and I have inspired you to enter the challenge. You can see more inspiration from our talented team over on the Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges blog site.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge #194


Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #194. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today our challenge is 'A Project with a Window'. 

Normally I would create a shaker card when creating a window project or a box with a window in it but I was constructing the gorgeous Stampin' Up! Cherry Blossom Treat Boxes Kit for Mother's Day gifts and fell I love with the cherry blossom stamp set included in the kit. 
I knew I had this challenge coming up so I used the stamp set to create these cards to coordinate with my gift boxes.



 



    I forgot to photograph my gift boxes before I gave them away so this is an image from the Stampin' Up website. They were so pretty and so easy to put together.
The kit includes everything you need to make 12 projects with step by step instructions. The Stampin' Up! kits are a great idea for novice crafters or for quick and easy gifts.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Summer Vibes|Challenge#193

 Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set the theme challenge Summer Vibes. We could really do with some Summer Vibes here in Australia with the onset of our winter just around the corner. 😰😰


And what could be more refreshing than a ice cold fruit cocktail on a hot summers day.


That is why I have chosen to use the new Celebratory Sips Suite. The colourful drink designs are from the bright and cheery Designer Series Paper included in the suite. For the background circle in this card I die-cut a circle into a piece of printer copy paper to use as a template, then  with 6 drops of strawberry slush ink refill added to rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer I spritzed inside the circle.


 Also included as part of the Suite are the Glass and Gardens Embossing Folders and the Holographic Resin Dot Embellishments. The suite has a coordinating Stamp Set with matching dies. To me the designs you can create with this suite are endless.

Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #191. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today we have my very favourite challenge a Sketch Challenge. Why my favourite because the designing work has been done for you and I always find it exciting to see how other card makers have interpreted the sketch.
