Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Theme: Halloween Challenge #079

Hello and welcome to todays

 Inspire. Create. Stamping Challenges #079. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and today's challenge has the theme 'Halloween'. We in Australia do not celebrate Halloween in a big way. The kids dress up and go Trick-a-Treating but most people don't decorate their homes or exchange cards.

So todays' theme gave me a good excuse to pull out all my stamp sets the include Halloween images and create some fun treat holders for my Grandchildren.

Firstly I have created a Halloween card with the witches brooms image from the Festive Post Stamp Set and the fun Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper.

The card is a fancy fold card with the front square flap opening to reveal a side panel of bat designer series paper and a place to write your sentiment inside.

 

So I then went ahead and created treat holder boxes of a book design mimicking the flap opening of the card.

I had such fun sorting through my stamp sets finding suitable Halloween themed images.

Under each flap is a stamped image and greeting. Open the book and the inside reveals the treats.

You'll notice some white specks on some of the boxes. I went slightly overboard with some Wink of Stella splattering on another project and accidentally splattered these projects. It just adds a little bling when seen in real life. OOPS!

 

I have used a variety of framelits and punches to create windows for the Candy Corn.

Thank you for visiting me.  I hope you have been inspired by the projects I have presented today.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Theme: Easter

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and I thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #066. 

Well, what an unprecedented time we are all facing. At the moment life is a bit insane and like me, I'm sure you have been feeling the stress of all the announcements and changes we are navigating our way through. I am thankful I have a craft room for somewhere to retreat to and hibernate.

With the uncertainty of the coming weeks and with social distancing becoming best practice even though I am missing my family and friends I am welcoming the time to stay home, slow down and maybe clean my craft room. Maybe? 

My heart and prayers go out to my overseas friends who have suffered loss of loved ones and hardship from this terrible virus.

The theme for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #066 is Easter. 

For my Easter cards I have tried to give them a soft effect with some sponging and watercoloring. 

I have used images from 'Non- Easter' stamp sets.

And added some sentiments and floral die-cuts to complete the cards. 
See the thumbnails below for products I have used.
