JUST US GIRLS CHALLENGE #727 MOODBOARD WEEK

 Hi there Crafty Friends! It's my 3rd week as Guest Designer at Just Us Girls and this week they have a very inspiring Moodboard to spark your creativity...

I used some co-ordinating patterned paper from Kaisercraft and Papertrey Ink Beach Bag Die Set to create my card. This is a really fun set.

We look forward to seeing how you are inspired by the Moodboard. 

You can see more inspiration from the Design Team at the Just Us Girls Challenge blog.

The Card Concept #207 Red, White and Blue

Welcome Crafty Friends. It's time for another challenge at The Card concept. 

The theme is Red, White and Blue and there's a gorgeous picture to spark your creativity. I was inspired by the colours and the red flowers to create a Clean and Layered Christmas card.

I painted an artsy background with Daniel Smith Watercolor Paint.

The Poinsettia and foliage were die-cut from a smooshed background and glitter card. 

Dies: Tim Holtz

Stamp: Mama Elephant

Remember, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colours, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card? 

I hope you'll visit The Card Concept Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team has created and will be inspired to play along in the challenge with us. 

Choose a design style (or combine styles), create a card, and in your blog post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, what style and/or styles you chose and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge.

Time Out Challenge #263 - Alphabet Magnet Day

Hello Crafty Friends! We are celebrating 'Alphabet Magnet Day' at Time Out Challenge this week. 

I embossed some steel blue coloured card and then swiped white ink over the raised letters. I then embossed the white card, cutting a strip and layered it over the blue card. To finish I stamped the typewriter and then added the sentiment. 

The winner of our challenge will win a $15 credit from our generous sponsor - Altenew and will also have the chance to be Guest Designer in a future challenge.

We are so happy to have Carol McFarland of Saw it. Had to Make it joining us as Guest Designer for this challenge. You can see Carol's gorgeous card and more inspiration from our  fabulous DT at the TIME OUT CHALLENGES blog.

JUST US GIRLS CHALLENGE (Guest designing) #726 WORD WEEK

 Hi there Crafty Friends! I'm back with another  card for Just Us Girls Challenge. This is WORD WEEK  and the prompt is 'GARDEN'. 

I'd just received some dies from Gummiapan (a Swedish company) and so I combined one with an Altenew stamp set.

I coloured all the stamped images with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Zig Markers. 

The background was embossed with a Stampin Up EF. 

The sentiment was created with a hotfoil plate.

Stamps & Co-ordinating Dies: Altenew Garden Grow

Standalone Die: Gummiapan Planting Table

We look forward to seeing how you are inspired by the word prompt. You can see more inspiration from the Design Team at the Just Us Girls Challenge blog.
