Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges #095

Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #095. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and we have a great sketch challenge for you today.

My Great Nephew Benji turns 5 this week and I have made him a card using the Stampin' Up! Hats Off Bundle.

A typical boy he loves racing cars and soccer so I have used his soccer teams colours of red and black for his card with a cap from the set and the checked embossing as nod to his car racing obsession.

When I first saw this bundle in the 2021-2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue I thought it would be a bit restrictive as to the number of occasions you could use the hat. However the sentiments and add ons really make it a very versatile bundle.

I love to make cards that are special for the recipient. The bundle includes a baseball cap image with a variety of badge images to personalise the cap so you can customise the cards for the person you are giving it to.

The cap was stamped and then cropped with the die from the Hat Builder die which coordinates perfectly also adding stitching to the hat. 

  I hope you have been inspired by my project. Please you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Challenges here. We really would love to see your creations. Note we need your projects submitted by 10am. (UK time) Sunday. Also hop over for a visit to see the projects of other talented stampers here.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Theme: Thank You

  Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #094. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and we have a great Theme challenge for you today namely 'Thank You'. We all need a stash of Thank You cards on hand. 

For my card I have played with the Pansy Dies from the Pansy Patch Bundle and the coordinating Designer Series Paper Pansy Petals.

This delightful Pansy Patch Bundle has a total of 23 photopolymer stamps and 21 dies. The dies also coordinate with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper making card creation easy and fun.

For my pansies I have cut some Basic White cardstock with the dies and then shaded them using my inks and the Blending Brushes. A die cut tag from the Taylor Made Tags dies completes the card.

Inspire.Create stamping Challenges - Challenge #092

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 Stampin' Up!s lovely new 'In Colors' Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya.

For my challenge submission I have created a set of small gift boxes coordinating the 'In Colors' with the gorgeous Pansy Petals Designer Series paper (DSP) which just happens to include all of our new 'In Colors'.

My gift boxes are 4cm x 4cm and are just the right size to hold a Ferrero Rocher Chocolate or a tea light.

Measurements for box: 12cm x 12cm Cardstock base scored at 4cm from all four edges.

  8.2cm x 8.2cm DSP scored at 2cm from all four edges for the box lid.

My boxes are tied with 3/8" (1cm) Open Weave Ribbons and die cut flowers from the 'In the Tropics' die set.

I have also created 5 cards to coordinate with my little boxes again using Stampin' Up!s new 'In Colors' and the Pansy Petals DSP.
